Auntie! I’m only 26! People who see me think I’m in my early twenties,” Kimberly exploded on hearing someone say she was in her thirties. Who are these people? Are they nearsighted? I’m sorry, I’m quite straightforward; many

ung people praise me for being candid. You must feel the same way, right?” Linda retorted. arelia and a few colleagues suppressed their laughter. This was probably what beating meone at their own game looked like.

“It's not trouble at all as long as you like it. Look at you. You've lost weight. Sit down and have some.”

Linda opened the gift box and invited the people nearby, “Would you like to try some too?”

The gift box from EmeraldLeaf Bistro contained famous pastries in Seacester, and they were expensive, costing at least 500 dollars for such a small box.

Even if people in the office were craving them, they would usually split the cost. No one was willing to spend so much money on snacks all at once.

When they heard someone was treating the office, everyone came over to take some pastries, except for Kimberly, who stood there pretending to be proud. She watched Aurelia and Linda chatting and laughing like friends, with no trace of abuse whatsoever.

She had mocked Aurelia for being mistreated by her in-laws in the morning, but now she was being proven wrong right in front of their colleagues.

How would others view her now? Thinking about it, Kimberly formulated a plan in her mind, her lips curved with cunning calculation.

But before she could finish her sentence, she was stunned by Linda’s next move.
