Chloe lifted her gaze to the mirror, her heart racing as she caught sight of the figure stepping into the room. A chilling laugh slipped from her lips, echoing in the stillness. “So it’s you?” she said, her voice laced with disdain.

Laney, with an air of nonchalance, retrieved a compact from her designer bag. She began to meticulously touch up her makeup, her tone dripping with mockery. “Of course you remember me, Chloe. I would have thought you’d forgotten all about our little past. Back at Brookstone High, you were the envy of everyone—pretty, smart, and hailing from a good family. We may have shared the same classroom, but the way we were treated? It was like we were living in entirely different worlds.”

Chloe flicked the water from her hands with a sharp motion, casting a scornful glance at Laney. “What’s your angle here? Are you just here to mock me like that insufferable Lillian?”

“Don’t get me wrong,” Laney replied, her voice softening slightly, a subtle smile playing on her lips. “What Lillian said just now was truly out of line. You are who you are, and your mother is your mother. She had no right to drag your mother’s scandal into this just to get under your skin. But sometimes, she craves the spotlight, and she doesn’t hesitate to trample on others to grab it.”

Chloe narrowed her eyes, suspicion creeping into her thoughts. “What do you mean by that?”

Laney’s smile turned sharper, more predatory. “Did you not notice? When you walked in with Julius, everyone’s eyes were glued to you, filled with envy. But the moment Lillian opened her mouth, their expressions shifted. Even Julius seemed to redirect his attention towards her. Don’t you find it curious why she would do that?”

A frown creased Chloe’s brow as a troubling thought flitted through her mind. “You mean she did it to catch Julius’s attention? That doesn’t make sense. She’s already with Sebastian. Why would she even care about Julius?”

Laney let out a soft, almost conspiratorial laugh. “That’s precisely her game. She has this uncanny ability to make every man revolve around her. You’ve heard the whispers from Capital University, haven’t you? Sure, they were ‘cleared up’ in the end, but remember—there’s no smoke without fire. So, keep a watchful eye on your Julius. I’ve said enough. Whether you choose to believe me or not is entirely up to you.” With that, she snapped her compact shut, tossed it into her bag, and strode out of the washroom, her heels clicking assertively against the tiled floor.

Chloe remained frozen, her thoughts swirling in a tempest of uncertainty.

**Back in the hall—**

He took a deliberate sip of his wine, letting the moment linger. “No, you remember. You choose to keep your distance on purpose. From the very first moment we crossed paths again, I could sense it—you knew me. You just didn’t want to admit it. And that makes me wonder… why?”

His words hung in the air, setting her on edge. Lillian’s voice turned razor-sharp. “What exactly are you implying? If you’ve come here to reminisce about childhood, fine—I’ve heard you. Now, you can leave.” For reasons she couldn’t quite articulate, being in his presence always left her feeling restless, her emotions fraying at the edges.

“I remember you used to call me Julius,” he said quietly, placing his glass down and fixing her with a gaze that felt almost penetrating.

Her eyes turned icy and distant. “That girl died ten years ago. What remains is Lillian. And in her life, there is no room for Julius.”
