Aubree never would have imagined that, despite Carmen's clear dislike for her, Carmen still respected her
character.
Carmen knew conventional methods wouldn't work on Aubree. But she remembered that Aubree was the type to
repay kindness. So, her plan was to have someone harass Aubree, then she’d swoop in with her people to rescue
Aubree.
‘Aubree definitely wouldn't bother to look into this, and even if she did, she'd never trace it back to me, Carmen
thought to herself. ‘No matter how disgusted or unwilling Aubree is, a favor owed is still a favor owed. When |
invite her to my art exhibition, it'll just be a matter of course.”
At first, Aubree hadn't suspected that Carmen was involved because it didn’t seem like something Carmen would
pull off. But Carmen’s exaggerated expression was so telling that Aubree couldn't help but connect the dots.
Carmen hadn't expected Lilia to bring such a pathetic bunch. They couldn't even handle Aubree, a girl. Still, as
someone good at pretenses, Carmen’s face twisted for a split second before she instantly put on a look of
surprise. “Thank goodness you're alright, Aubree.”
“What are you doing here?” Aubree played along as she tried to figure out what gCarmen was playing.
“I was helping my mentor deliver something to a friend at the art school. On the way, | heard you were having
trouble at the cafeteria, so | called my bodyguards over. But it looks like you're fine, Aubree.”

The onlookers dispersed once the spectacle was over.
Aubree stared at Carmen with an icy expression. Carmen offered a fawning smile and said, “Aubree, | know you
dislike me-
“Then why don’t you get lost already?”
Aubree’s words left Carmen momentarily speechless, but she deliberately ignored them and continued, “I've
cto realize sof my past actions were wrong. | sincerely apologize to you.”
With that, Carmen even bowed deeply. Aubree found it quite . In both timelines, this was the most sincere
apology she'd ever seen from Carmen:
“If you think my apology isn’t sincere, Aubree, just hitto vent your anger.”
Aubree thought, ‘A deal this sweet?”
Aubree couldn't help but laugh. This was hands down the most sincere apology Carmen had ever given.
“Okay.”
Carmen was just putting on a show. She figured with people still watching, Aubree would have to keep up
appearances. Even if Aubree refused her apology, surely she wouldn't lay a hand on her in public.
Aubree’s hand shot up, and she landed a sharp, stinging slap. “Smack!”
“Who knew you'd actually ask for something like this? As your good sister, of course, I'm happy to oblige.”
Carmen was stunned, rooted to the spot like a statue.
The resounding slap landed squarely across her face, leaving a searing pain. Half her cheek was aflwith
scorching agony.
“What?” Carmen stammered in disbelief, utterly stunned that Aubree had actually slapped her.
But just as Aubree had pointed out, this was Carmen's own doing. No matter how much it stung or how furious
she felt, she couldn't let it show. She had to grit her teeth and endure it. Worse still, she had to force a smile and
ask if Aubree was appeased and willing to forgive her.
Aubree felt much better after that slap. “Spit it out. What are you really after?”
“Did you get my text, Aubree?” Carmen asked with puppy-dog eyes. “I'd love for you to cto my art
exhibition.”
If Aubree hadn't known better, she might have believed Carmen was just a lovely girl, yearning for someone
special to witness

her big moment.
Unfortunately, Carmen wasn’t a lovely girl, and Aubree wasn’t the special person to Carmen.
“Well, about that...”
Aubree deliberately drew out her words, then finally nodded her agreement under Carmen’s anxious gaze.
Aubree wanted to see what tricks Carmen was up to this time.
“Alright, let's not stand around here like circus freaks on display,” Aubree said. Convinced that Carmen’s art
exhibition was anything but simple, she strode off without a backward glance.
