Coolest Girl in Town

Chapter 1052

"Are you sure you think of me as a friend? Didn't it occur to you to look for me when I didn't answer

your calls? You're always like this. You never ask about anything or show your concern at all. You don't

care about me."

"We're talking about what happened last night, so why are you bringing these things up? Anyway, who

said I don't care about you? If I didn't—"

"I was sexually assaulted!" Suella cut Alicia off with a shriek. It was so sudden that Alicia froze in

shock.

True enough, something happened.

"Who did it?" Alicia knew she had to stay calm to address the situation.

She recalled what happened to her at the bar back then and couldn't help but imagine what it must

have been like for her friend last night.

In her case, just getting sexually harassed alone had been enough to traumatize her, but in Suella's

case, she had been assaulted.

Alicia patted Suella on the shoulder. "It's fine. We'll make a police report. I'll be with you the whole

time."

Suella's right. If I went to look for her when she didn't show up last night, maybe everything could've

been avoided. Alicia began to feel guilty.

Suella's heart leaped with joy. Alicia hasn't changed at all. She's just as easily fooled as ever.

During their schooling days, Suella told Alicia that her family went bankrupt overnight and her parents

were terminally ill, so she had to work three jobs to survive. The very next day, 100,000 had been

transferred to her account by the good-hearted soul, and ever since then, Alicia was especially kind

toward her. Alicia included her in everything and never let her pay for anything.

A foolish woman like her is a wealthy heiress, while I have to go around like a puppy acting pitiful and

trying to please these dumb heirs and heiresses just so I can maintain a luxurious lifestyle! Why?

Suella had long since noticed that Alicia was beginning to distance herself from her. She doesn't want

to bother with a lowly person like me anymore.

Ever since the beginning, Alicia has only ever treated me like a beggar. The money she gave me was

merely a pittance that these wealthy people use to show just how kind and generous they are. Now that

she's had her fun, she's going to toss me aside, huh? Well, don't even think about it!

As for Danny and his girlfriend, those two b*stards that threw me out naked? Hah! These rich people

are all the same! Money's all they care about! They all look down on me!

Suella's blood boiled when she recalled the way they looked at her like she was some kind of sewer

rat!

This was her chance to turn things around. As long as she insisted that it was Danny and got a

handsome payoff from the Griffiths, she would no longer be a bottom feeder in society. Who would dare

look down on her then?

Suella had been waiting for Alicia's question. She snorted through her tears and said, "Report him to

the police? With the background he comes from, who'd press charges against him?"

"Everyone is equal in the eyes of the law. You don't have to worry about money. I'll support you the

whole way. Tell me who did it." Alicia empathized so much with Suella that she wholeheartedly believed

her.

"Dainty Griffith," Suella spat out.

Alicia's expression froze. "How could it be him?"

Danny even sent me a text warning me this morning. Was he trying to test me?

"You don't believe me?" Suella wiped her tears and cried out disappointedly, "You're always like that!

You ask me to tell you but then you don't believe me! Why should I be honest with you then?"

"It's not that I don't believe you. It's just that..." Alicia was conflicted.

Based on her knowledge of Danny, he wasn't someone who'd do this to someone. Could it be because

he was drugged? In that case, it would be hard for him to keep a clear head.

"It's just that he's rich and powerful and doesn't seem like someone who'd do a thing like that, right?"

Suella saw right through Alicia. "So, I'm the penniless woman who knowingly threw myself at him even

though he has a girlfriend, right? I'm the one who dragged him into the room with me and forced myself

on him, right? You think I'm a shameless wh*re, right?"

Those words made Alicia feel as if she had been slapped. Her expression shifted. It was too harsh and

she couldn't respond.

Suella kept going. "Yes, that's right. I did get involved with a few lousy men, but I explained everything

to you before. They tricked me and I had no idea they were married. No matter what happened, I kept

my boundaries. I'm telling you now, Alicia. I may not have much, but I have my dignity. No matter how

bad things get for me, I would never become the third party who ruins someone else's relationship and

marriage. I—"

"Have you said enough yet?!" Alicia was so ashamed that she blew up.

Suella froze in fright. She didn't move a muscle, but tears kept streaming down her face as she blinked.

Alicia quickly realized that she had overreacted, so she composed herself and apologized. "I'm sorry.

I'm not mad at you. I just think that since it has already happened, instead of trying to end your life, you

should think about how you can work through this."

"I'll take your advice." Suella was afraid that things would backfire on her if she pissed Alicia off, so she

quickly wiped her tears away. "I'm no longer a virgin now, Alicia. Even if I meet a charming prince, he

won't like me, right?"

"If a man doesn't like you simply because of this, then he's no prince! He's a lowlife!" Alicia had no

respect for such men.

"Even if what you say is reasonable, the truth is that men don't like marrying a woman who has been

sexually assaulted before," Suella lamented her fate.

Alicia couldn't stand seeing the way Suella was putting herself down. If a woman is only pure when

she's a virgin and sullied when she's had sex, then it's the man who's dirty, not her.

She changed the subject. "Whatever you say. Right now, you have two choices. Your first choice is to

go ahead and end your life. I won't stop you. Your second choice is to stay alive, and I'll help you

receive compensation from Danny. That way, even if you marry someone with less financial means,

you can still have a good life."

Suella pretended to hesitate for a while before gazing timidly at Alicia. "I'm counting on your help,

Alicia."

"You shouldn't count on anyone else. If you don't get up on your own two feet, sooner or later, life will

knock you down again!" Alicia declared before marching off, slamming the door behind her.

The door closed with a loud bang, but Suella scoffed indifferently. As long as she had money, she didn't

care if she had to stay down her whole life!

A few minutes later, there was a knock on the door of Room 206.

Danny opened the door and saw Alicia standing in the hallway.

"Good afternoon, Miss Heidelberg," Danny greeted.

"Actually, it's not that good of an afternoon." Alicia was in a bad mood and didn't want to pretend

otherwise. "Suella just came back and she wasn't in a very good state."

"Oh. How unfortunate."

They had seen everything from their room when Suella came running out of the room opposite theirs,

so they assumed that Alicia had come to ask them to act as witnesses.

"Don't worry. Ariel and I are willing to act as witnesses. If Miss Taggert needs a lawyer, we can

recommend her one too. We must ensure that the person who hurt her goes to jail!"
