Chapter 61 Off To Beijing

• Bella met up with Tracy the next day, and some of her bitterness spilled over. She was certain she was good at hiding her emotions, but maybe it was just the people around her who were nonchalant about it.
• “It’s not like she’s a bad person. I just feel like… she reminds me a lot of someone I know.” And no, it wasn’t just the blond hair and pretty eyes either. Lucille reminded her of Jessica — the same ambitious gleam that came over her sister’s eyes whenever she spoke about certain things had been picked up by Lucille as well.
• With Jessica, it had been with Vaughn. Bella honestly didn’t know how she had been ignorant of the cheating when it had been right in her face. With Lucille it was different… or not so different. She gave off a mean-girl kind of vibe which made Bella uncomfortable. And the fact that she had laughed at the trashy things her friends had said, even while being aware of Bella’s own unfortunate marital past, was just plain rude.
