Chapter 89

• “Yo, look who it is. Our big star, Ava! You’ve really made a name for yourself, haven’t you? Everyone knows all the dirt on you now. Shameless enough to show your face here after all that scandal?!”
• Lucia’s mocking tone dripped with venom. The kind of venom that promised she’d feast on my downfall. She was just waiting for me to be crushed, so she could step in, slip into my role and get close to Meruvge.
