One of her former classmates grinned and teased, “Sounds like you two are really close.”

“Yeah, just look at how she lights up when she talks about him!” someone else chimed in.

At the mention of Collin, Linsey’s expression softened, her smile turning sincere. “He takes really good care of me.”

The conversation flowed easily, full of light laughter and casual chatter. But across the room, Beth watched the exchange with narrowed eyes, her mood darkening with each passing second. Linsey, of all people, had to show up dressed like she was attending a gala. Was that really necessary for a reunion?

The second she walked in, all eyes were on her. Now, half the room was crowded around her, hanging onto her every word. It was unbearable.

Back in college, Linsey had been nothing special—plain, forgettable. She had never once stood out, never once overshadowed Beth. And yet, here she was, basking in all the attention. All because she married into wealth. And to a man in a wheelchair, no less!

If Beth’s husband had a disability, she would have done everything in her power to keep it quiet. Yet Linsey paraded her life around without the slightest hint of shame. The more Beth dwelled on it, the more annoyed she became. Finally, she couldn’t hold back any longer and strode forward, her lips curling into a smirk.

“Linsey, it must be exhausting—marrying into wealth, yet still having no real freedom. Even at a simple reunion, you’re stuck following your husband’s rules. Now, take Kristy, for example. Her husband is just as wealthy, but she does whatever she wants. That’s what real power looks like.”

At the mention of Kristy Wagner, the room buzzed with interest.

“Oh yeah, isn’t Kristy coming tonight? Didn’t she win campus belle back in the day?”

“Not just the campus belle—she was born into wealth. And then she went and married someone even richer! I even heard her husband has connections to the founder of CR Corporation!”

“Ugh, talk about unfair. She’s beautiful, she’s rich, and she managed to climb even higher. Some people just have everything handed to them.”

Just then, a voice rang out from the hallway. “Kristy’s here!”

In an instant, the group surrounding Linsey scattered, rushing toward the entrance like moths to a flame.

Linsey was curious about Kristy too, but by the time she made her way over, the doorway was already packed with people. Beth, who had been watching Linsey, let out a scornful laugh.

“See that? Kristy is the real deal. She’s the one people actually care about.”

She folded her arms, tilting her head mockingly. “You must be disappointed, Linsey. You went through all that effort to marry into wealth—even settled for a cripple—yet you still can’t compete with Kristy. Let me give you a little advice: no matter what you do, you’ll never be on her level. So why bother trying?”

Upon hearing Beth’s words, Linsey was at a loss for words.

Beth’s reasoning made no sense. Linsey hadn’t even spoken, and yet Beth was already making all sorts of wild assumptions. But Linsey didn’t feel like entertaining her.

Experience had taught her that arguing with Beth was an exercise in futility—a drain on time and energy. Besides, Linsey had come for a specific purpose. The last thing she wanted was to get caught up in a pointless argument at a reunion and become the talk of the event.
