Having wrapped themselves together in a towel, they sat by the pool and didn’t go down into the water.

The shy girl whispered into the boy’s ear, “I don’t know how to swim.”

The boy chuckled and responded, “Let me teach you!”

After that, he tossed the towel aside and went into the pool first. The pool was 1.5 meters deep. Since

the boy was rather tall, the water only reached his chest.

On the other hand, the girl was still scared of going into the pool and glared at the boy. She then uttered

timidly, “Why don’t you just swim by yourself for a while? Once I’m ready to get in the water, I’ll tell you!”

The boy nodded. Being in front of his precious girlfriend, the boy’s swimming ability seemed to have

improved exponentially. He swam in circles around the pool effortlessly.

Gazing at this scene in front of me, I couldn’t help but smile. Ah, youthful love is such bliss. Two pure-

hearted people getting together and building their relationship on trust.

Admiring and adoring each other is what the first form of love is.

“What? You snuck out here to feel sorry for yourself?” asked Rachel. With beauty like her around, the

men’s gaze was all directed toward us.

I smiled and replied, “Why should I feel sorry for myself?”

She sat down beside me and crossed her slim, long legs, which were drawing a lot of attention. “Mr.

Oberick took me and Ashton as a couple. Don’t you feel sad and left out?”

I raised my eyebrows and smiled. “Nope. No matter what kind of relationship I have with Ashton, it’s

none of your business. Honestly, I couldn’t care less who he ends up with. So, you really don’t need to

waste your time here trying to spite me.”

Having failed to enrage me, she was miffed. “Don’t act so high and mighty. Your little tactic to play hard to

get, won’t get you far. Men will start to be disgusted by you. Do you think I don’t know what you’re

scheming about? By pretending to push Ashton away, you are making his desire for you grow. And just

like that, you have him wrapped around your little finger. I must say, your underhanded methods are

brilliant!”

Amused, I laughed and glanced at her with my head tilted to one side. “Ms. Zimmer, you really are a

genius. Even I, myself had no idea that I was such a cunning and manipulative person. Haha! I might just

end up believing your made-up story.”

She jeered, “But it’s true. If you didn’t plot and scheme like a cunning little fox, Ashton wouldn’t have

taken a liking to you. Your looks and family background are way beneath his standards. To put it bluntly,

you’re just lucky to have met him a few years before I did. If we have met him at the same time, he

unequivocally would’ve chosen me over you.”

She felt gratified as she said that. The more she insulted me, the more pleased she was. “Scarlett,

everything about you is plain and dull. You’re more suitable to just be with an average joe. Ashton is way

out of your league. The fact that you’re an orphan alone is enough to justify that.”

To be honest, I was enraged after hearing those words. Her intelligence and looks were what I admired

her for.

Having suppressed my anger, I feigned a smile. “Ms. Zimmer, truth be told, I actually had some respect

for you before. Who doesn’t like a girl who is intelligent, good-looking, and candid like you? But, after

hearing what you said just now, I learned that it takes time to get to really know a person.”

“Being intelligent and attractive doesn’t mean you’re a kind person. I’ve learned that after spending more

time with you. Honestly, I feel bad for anyone who will have to see your true colors.”

“You…” Furious, her face turned purple. If it weren’t for the men watching her, she would’ve pushed me

into the water.

After getting it all out of my chest, I felt way better.

As I was getting ready to leave, she blocked my path and glared at me ferociously. “Scarlett, who are you

to judge my character? Do you think that you’re much better than me? You can’t even bear a child now.

Who’s more laughable now, huh?”

I stopped and gazed at her. “It seems like you know a lot about me. So nice of you to put in the effort just

to learn more about me!”

“Humph! Do you really think that Ashton will be forever fixated on you? Mark my words; I will snatch him

from you soon,” she responded.

I nodded in agreement and replied, “Yes, I hope you succeed!”

Her facial expression still looked terrible. She was probably vexed at not being able to unleash the anger

fraught within her.
