“What a pity,” Winter muttered.
She smiled faintly and continued, “It’s okay. A broken phone can be replaced, and a lost SIM card can be
reissued. My number hasn't changed, so | won't lose contact.”
After all, most of the time, they contacted her. Winter rarely took the initiative to call anyone. If she wanted, she
could always catch someone new, so she never really thought about the old ones.
Zach blinked in surprise. Winter snatched her broken phone back from him. “If you ever touch my things again,
I'll break your hands. Try me!”
With that, she stormed out of the living room. Her car had already been brought over, so there was no need for
anyone to drive her-she could just leave on her own.
Zach hurried after her. “Wait... | think your phone number isn’t very lucky. It's full of 1s and 3s. How about we
change it? Ill get you a fancy number, all 6s, how about that?”
“1s and 3s aren't lucky?” Winter rolled her eyes, wondering if Zach had a screw loose.
“Don’t you know? Friday the 13th. Ever heard of that?”
Winter snapped. “Shut up! Stop bothering me!”
With that, she started the car and released the handbrake. With a press on the gas pedal, she sped off, leaving

Even if she had heard him, she would probably just respond with a sarcastic laugh.
Upstairs on the balcony, Phoebe stood with the maid, smiling as they watched the scene unfold below. Maggie
hesitated before speaking. “It seems Ms. Jefferson doesn’t really pay much attention to Mr. Zach....
“That's good,” Phoebe replied while crossing her arms, She had just finished her beauty treatments, and her skin
glowed with radiance. Her entire demeanor oozed a relaxed, pampered luxury. “These men... the easier they
think they've won, the less they care.
“They all asswomen will throw themselves at them the moment they walk into a room. But ignore them,
stay cool, and they're hooked.”
Phoebe turned to Maggie with a smirk and asked, “Do you know what this is called?”
Maggie blinked, “What... What do you call it?”
“Scumbags.”
Maggie coughed, nearly choking. “Mrs. Graham, do you really talk about your own son that way?”
“I'm just telling the truth. It’s not just him; his father’s the sway.”
“Honestly, | think Winter's approach is perfect,” Phoebe said. There was a hint of pride in her tone, as if

Winter reminded her of her younger self.
Maggie, meanwhile, thought to herself, “Should | be hearing this?” But she wisely stayed silent.

Winter spent the next few minutes venting her frustrations, calling Zach an “idiot” at least ten times.
Then, Miranda spoke softly, “Don’t you think he did it on purpose?”
“On purpose?” Winter paused, stunned for a few seconds. “You mean, you think he deliberately broke my
phone?”
“Yeah,” Miranda replied.
“But why? What does he gain from breaking my phone?”
Miranda sighed. “Don’t you get it?”
Winter was still confused. “Get what?”
“Never mind. | don’t really understand either...”
Miranda couldn't figure out how

“Hey, make sure to block Zach first-hello? Winter?”
Too late; the call had already ended.
Miranda sighed, unsure if Winter had heard her last warning.
