Chapter 629
Sally quickly left Britney and chased after Fia.
As Fia continued to walk down the corridor, her mind never stopped working. She had intentionally mentioned
chrysanthemums.
Esme never liked chrysanthemums.
She was testing Britney.
And the result was making her even more perplexed. If her love for the peach blossom scent was a coincidence,
would her dislike of the chrysanthemum flower be a coincidence as well?
How could a dead person reappear again?
Fia shook her head and decided to temporarily stop thinking about them.
“Fia!” Sally caught up with her. “Why did you intentionally provoke Britney just now?”
Fia glanced at Sally and asked, “Why did you pretend not to know me in there just now, Sally?”

have a bad temper. I’m worried that if I show our good relationship, they will become even more opinionated and
would even double down on you.”
“Madam Barbara’s parents are green-eyed monsters?”
“…Yeah.”
Fia then said helplessly, “What is there to be jealous about when they’re the seniors?”
“Despite my brother being gentle and courteous right now, Britney had been following him since they were little.
However, he didn’t care much about her.
“There was this one time when Britney secretly followed my brother without telling her family or my brother. Not
only did she get lost, but she also slipped and fell. Mr. and Mrs. Thomas got very angry about it.”
Fia listened intently.
“Mr. and Mrs. Thomas had been blaming my brother since then. My parents are simple people, and so they demand
that I treat Britney better.”
“My brother didn’t want to pay attention to Britney, so I had to take her to my brother and play with us. I’m older
than her, so I had to take care of her in school. I had a good friend from back in high school…”
Sally didn’t continue.
There was a hint of resentment on Fia’s face. “So, they guilt-trip you? They didn’t allow you to be with anyone other
than Britney?”
There was a hint of loneliness on Sally’s face. “That was a long time already, though. After Britney followed my
brother overseas during her junior high years, I didn’t have that kind of pressure anymore.”
Fia didn’t know if she should feel pity for her. “Despite her already going overseas, all your peers knew about it
already, right? Is that why you don’t have any friends?”
If that wasn’t the case, Sally wouldn’t be so fearful that she didn’t dare to speak with her despite her usual social
self.
“Fia…” Sally lowered her head sadly.
Fia sighed and changed the topic. “But Madam Barbara doesn’t look like the kind to be that jealous.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Britney isn’t like that too. She lost her temper just now because of how painful her wound was. Not to mention her
parents had been talking to her non-stop about her not loving herself. You just came in at the wrong time.”
Fia looked at Sally speechlessly. “You were forced to take care of her since you were in senior high and she affected
your life adversely, but you think that she’s a good person?”
“She’s a nice and timid girl. I couldn’t help but want to take care of her. Not to mention that when my parents were
berating me, she would always help me despite her timidness.”
Fia wasn’t sure what words she could use.
Sally couldn’t understand why Britney was so impolite just now. She was worried that Fia would become unhappy,
so she kept on explaining it to her.
“Don’t be angry, Fia. Once she’s recovered, I’ll talk to her about it.”
“It’s fine. I don’t like her!” Fia said straight to the point.
Sally looked at Fia in shock. “I thought you had a good first impression of her. Didn’t you?”
“It’s the peach blossom scent. After my eyes recovered, she made me feel uncomfortable when I looked at her for
the first time. I don’t know why.”
Fia didn’t tell her what she was feeling. She worried that Sally would tell the Thomas household, then it wouldn’t be
easy for her to test Britney later.
