Emma is such a smart person; there’s no way she would only focus on Hannah and ignore her, as that would make her intentions too obvious.

Because she’s just a "side note," Laura Jones feels that Hannah doesn’t necessarily dislike her, but just isn’t enthusiastic.

"I don’t have much going on today, can I come over to your place? We’ve been classmates for two years and never hung out together."

Wow, asking to go to someone else’s house right away, how bold.

"What about those good friends of yours? Will coming over to our place alone affect your friendships? I know those people don’t like us at all."

Hannah didn’t beat around the bush and said directly,

Emma’s face stiffened, then she showed a helpless expression and said:

"I’ve told them many times not to view you guys through prejudiced eyes, but they don’t listen. I’ve argued with them many times about it, and now they don’t want to talk to me anymore."

???

Prejudiced eyes?

Are they burdened with shameful identities that warrant the term "prejudiced eyes"?

Hannah rolled her eyes.

Take herself, for example, a poor student who only got into this prestigious school because her family donated two buildings, so she could take prejudice in stride.

But Laura got in fair and square without cheating or stealing, and just because you like or dislike her, you label it as prejudice.

You guys really are something.

As for the "they don’t want to talk to me anymore" part, that’s even funnier.

Is she trying to let them know she lost so many good friends because she stood up for them?

Haha, looking to them for compensation? Spit!

Hannah didn’t bother to defend herself but pointed at Laura Jones beside her, and asked:

"It’s not that I care, but Laura got in fair and square, never offended you. Just because she’s prettier, those friends of yours don’t like her, so it becomes prejudice?"

Emma’s expression shifted; she was too eager to "show loyalty" to Hannah and hadn’t thought through her words.

She hadn’t expected Hannah to latch onto that word.

The way she protected Laura Jones, even more vigorously than herself, set off louder alarm bells in Emma’s mind.

When Hannah suggested introducing Laura to her cousin, she was immediately attentive.

Could Hannah’s cousin be an ordinary person?

And the day William Wilson stirred up that rumor which revealed Hannah’s cousin was William Wilson, she couldn’t wait to cozy up to Hannah.

What woman wouldn’t want to marry a man like William Wilson? 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

Even if he really had no family or background as the rumors said, an impoverished relative of the "Emperor," there were still plenty of wealthy heiresses willing to chase after William Wilson.

Besides, is William Wilson really the "poor relative"?

From the relationship between Hannah and William Wilson, even as a poor relative, the Taylor Family wouldn’t shortchange William Wilson.

Emma thought a lot afterward, that all the resources William Wilson had after entering the industry were top-notch.

She couldn’t believe he’d have no background.

Furthermore, the noble bearing William Wilson exuded couldn’t just be acted out.

That’s a kind of aristocracy cultivated from childhood, impossible to develop in a short time.

She couldn’t fathom William Wilson’s background, but even if it couldn’t compare to the Taylor Family, it surely wasn’t an ordinary family.

Moreover, in his current position in the entertainment industry, ordinary people really can’t shake him.
