NovelEnglishChapter 316 A Tough One
Cherise pursed her lips, quietly comforting her. “Lucy, you’ve only been with Rodney for a month. It’s
great you realized he’s a jerk this early into your relationship.”
“Don’t waste your emotional energy for a man like him.”
Lucy let out a long sigh, her frustrations building. “I’m not emotional because of him!”
“I’m angry at myself for being with a man like him!” Lucy slammed her fist onto her thighs.
“I made a bet with Lennon yesterday that Rodney was definitely into me!”
“I told Lennon that if Rodney didn’t like me or wanted to break up with me, I’d be with him!”
Her face darkened as she thought about it. “He even burst out laughing just now!”
Cherise was rendered speechless by her friend’s reaction.
Instead of comforting Lucy further, she felt the urge to congratulate her.
“Lucy! Cherry!”

Cherise nodded and hurried to the villa to let the others know.
Damien, Lennon, and Jacob were chatting happily.
Over their shoulders….
Cherise saw Mandy and Rodney…
Her eyes bulged at the sight.
Mandy was a tough one.
Cherise couldn’t believe any girl would like Rodney, even for his looks.
Mandy and Rodney had only known each other for two days.
She would only be willing to believe that Mandy was acting this way because she told her that Rodney
wasn’t ready to initiate the breakup with Lucy.

But… isn’t this going a little overboard?
Wouldn’t she feel uncomfortable looking at Rodney?
“I have seen people who were much uglier when I was practicing my flirting skills.”
Mandy yawned and leaned against the big tree, staring at Rodney in the distance, who was getting
water for her. “I have had several experiences with this type of man before.”
Mandy grinned and patted Cherise on the shoulder. “Don’t worry. I’ll take care of this jerk.”
Cherise pressed her lips together. “Thank you she whispered.
If it weren’t for Mandy, Rodney wouldn’t have given up on Lucy. After all, he had chased after her for
over a year before she agreed to be with him-he wouldn’t have let her go easily.
“Why are you thanking me?” Mandy asked rhetorically.
Mandy’s lips curled into a warm smile as she gave Cherise another pat on the shoulder. “You rescued
me from the fire even though I intended to steal your husband.”
“I’m just glad I could help you and your friend.

under someone else’s control for the past thirteen years.”
“I’m friends with Jessie because S told me she holds grudges and bullies those less powerful than her.”
“I know she would be someone I can count on, so I kept her close.”
“Cherise.”
She stared at Cherise with a sincere gaze. “You’re the first person I’ve wanted to truly be friends with.”
Cherise’s eyes widened in surprise. “I guess that’s an honor.”
She didn’t care who she was saving from the fire.
She simply didn’t want to give up on life.
After all, she was an aspiring doctor.

If she could so easily give up a life, how can she save those in need in the future?
She never thought that Mandy would want to be her friend.
She pressed her lips together as she recalled Damien’s words about having Mandy as her younger
sister.
