Chapter 84 Ten Years Was Hardly Enough

Ruth was not the type to back off from arguments, especially when she was feeling jealous. She was looking for someone to vent at. "I'm just introducing my boyfriend to my classmates. What does this have to do with you anyway? Do you not realize that you're only making things awkward for Gardenia?" She could not direct her anger at Pablo after all. Tessa retorted, "Why would Gardenia feel awkward about me defending her? You're just jealous that you can't compare to Gardenia, aren't you? If you had any confidence in yourself, you wouldn't be so mean." "You—" Seeing that Tessa was fully ready to drag out the argument, Gardenia quickly tugged at her sleeve and said, "That's enough, Tessa. I'm not feeling very well right now. I'll be leaving first." "You're leaving so soon?" "Yeah." Gardenia's mind had become a jumbled mess. She needed to go somewhere quiet to sort out her thoughts. She realized that what Anthony said on the phone about Pablo being released from prison was true.
