Chapter 1817
Heather and Liam were a package by this point as they were always seen together.
Although Liam had never said anything about her being his girlfriend, the consensus was that they were dating
Caprice was convinced it was true as well. The reason she felt this way was because the boy she had loved since
she was a child never reciprocated her feelings. He only treated her like his dear sister.
Even if she had thrown herself at him unabashedly, it would only end with him gently shoving her away.
Without context, Caprice felt like she was the mistress in this situation. She hung her head low, feeling rather
ashamed.
She had to admit she was not fond of Heather, the one who stole Liam away from her. She tried to ignore her
entirely, pretending as if she did not even exist.
Heather stood next to Liam and seemed to be sizing up Caprice. An imperceptible look of jealousy flashed across
her eyes.
After a while, she smiled and addressed Caprice, “Little Caprice, why are you ignoring me?”
Caprice thought to herself, ‘Because I don’t want to talk to you.’
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe could not put on such a pompous attitude with Liam around. She swallowed her pride and answered, “Sorry, I
didn’t catch what you just said.”
She looked up to face Heather. Her cheeks were flushed red from the alcohol in her system, there was a wall of
mist in her eyes.
Despite that, she looked rather juvenile and innocent.
Heather was offended, but wore a practiced smile nonetheless. “I was saying that it’s getting late, you’re a student
and should be in the dormitory at this hour. Why are you here?”
Caprice pursed her lips.
What a disgusting woman. Did she say this on purpose because Liam was here? Was her goal to give Liam the
impression that she was an irresponsible student?
Something quivered in her eyes, she gestured at Piper and said, “Today is my friend’s birthday, we came here to
celebrate her birthday.”
Piper responded with a strange look but she quickly played along, “Yeah, it’s my birthday.”
Both Lana and Freya nodded along, they looked like bobbleheads.
Heather sneered. “I see.”
Caprice could not be bothered whether she believed it or not as she stole a glance at Liam.
The spotlight directly beat down on Liam’s figure from behind. Caprice could not make out the expression
on his face.
He was cloaked in shadow, and she could only faintly make out the outlines of his face.
Regardless, she could feel his indifference.
He must have forgotten that today was her birthday.
Just when she thought she had a grip on the situation, a turbulent wave of emotions washed across her
again.
She took a breath and forced herself to smile at Liam. She asked quite innocently, “Brother Liam, why are you
here?”
Before Liam could answer, Heather spoke up in his place, “President Carter is here today to meet two of our clients
from abroad.”
Caprice muttered a light ‘oh’.
Heather switched her tone. She cast a judgmental look at Caprice’s face again and asked, “Sister Caprice, why is
your face so red? I just saw you downing bottles, did you drink too much today? Or is this just another routine
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmweekend for you?”
Caprice clenched her fists.
What a terribly annoying woman!
Freya stepped forward and put her arms around Caprice. She turned to Heather and tried to explain. ” Caprice
doesn’t usually drink like this. We were just playing a drinking game and she lost, so we made her drink more than
she usually does.”
Piper echoed. “That’s right.”
Lana supported them. “Yeah, she lost to me.”
The three of them stepped up to help Caprice, and all of them looked at Heather without much friendliness.
Heather was taken aback. She chuckled dryly and said, “Drinking game or not, you shouldn’t drink so
much.”
Caprice tugged at Piper’s shirt.
Piper took the hint. Her voice grew sharper suddenly as she confronted Heather head-on. “Sorry, who are you
supposed to be? Even her dear brother Liam isn’t saying anything. What makes you think you have the right to
make so many comments?”
