Chapter 513 The Flatterer
Chapter 513 The Flatterer
Juliet's eyes were resolute, her gaze unwavering.
It was as if she saw Ally as her beacon of hope.
Ally, who had given up all hope, was truly moved by Juliet's words.
"Yeah!"
"Why should I lose to Luann?"
"Really? Do I really have a chance?"
"But they're already together."
"And their relationship is so good."
"Don't forget, Myron once hit me because of Luann."
It left her bedridden for a long time!
Now, whenever she sees Myron, she can't help but tremble.
It's a fear from the bottom of her heart!
Juliet held Ally's hand, tears still hanging at the corners of her eyes, looking quite aggrieved.
"So what?"
"To be honest, even if you disregard Myron, do you think your future husband will be someone you love?"
"The North family is a big family. To put it bluntly, you and your brother are just tools for consolidating the family's alliances."
"Since you're going to marry someone without feelings, why not choose a family with a better background?"
Ally's heart skipped a beat.
Yeah.
She wasn't young anymore.
Twenty-five.
Her parents had been subtly and overtly urging her, even showing her photos of many eligible bachelors.
But how many times could she keep refusing?
Seeing Ally's hesitant and conflicted expression, Juliet knew what she was thinking.
After all, who could resist someone as handsome and powerful as Myron?
Juliet's eyes twinkled with a hint of cunning as she advised.
"Sometimes we need to think from a different angle. Why was the Curtis family so eager to find Myron a wife back then? Wasn't it because they were afraid no one would want him after his disfigurement, leaving him lonely for the rest of his life?"
"Even if Myron was unwilling, he still went along with it."
"This shows that deep down, he's still quite filial and listens to his family."
"Luann and Myron's relationship is unbreakable, but we can start with someone else."
The two exchanged a glance, both seeing the calculation in each other's eyes.
Ally whispered, "Diana."
Back then, it was Diana who gave Ally hope of marrying into the Curtis family.
Although she had distanced herself from Diana because of Myron, she had attended Diana's birthday party last time, and Diana didn't seem to blame her, treating her quite well.
Maybe, there really was a chance?
Juliet pondered for a moment, feeling something was off.
"I heard that Diana and Myron's relationship hasn't been good since that fire."
"Instead of starting with Diana, it might be easier to break through with Anna!"
"After all, she lived with Myron for several years to take care of him."
"Besides, older people are easier to handle."
Juliet's red lips curled up, her eyes filled with undisguised scheming.
Ally was startled by Juliet.
In her impression, Juliet had always been a naive and kind person, a crybaby. When did she become so smart?
Sensing Ally's questioning gaze, Juliet sighed deeply.
"Ally."
"After everything that's happened recently, I've come to understand."
"You can't always be too timid and compliant."
"If I had resisted earlier, maybe things wouldn't have come to this."
Ally thoughtfully hummed in agreement.
Yeah.
Everyone was siding with Luann now, and the two of them were like lone warriors.
"Ally, you're my best friend."
Juliet's eyes were filled with tears, her chest heaving slightly as if she were extremely sad.
When it came to acting weak, Juliet had never lost to anyone.
"I really want to see you marry into the Curtis family in style."
Ally was stunned by Juliet's words.
She didn't realize Juliet was using her.
"Don't worry, I've already thought of a way." Ally proudly lifted her chin.
Juliet looked eager to listen.
"What way?"
Ally lightly curled her lips, her proud expression like that of a princess.
"Anna's birthday party is coming up. If I can give her something precious or something she likes to win her favor, it might help me."
"Coincidentally, Sunshine's latest limited edition 'Eternal,' with only ten pieces sold worldwide, has just been released. There are a lot of people in line, but I managed to get one through a connection. It should arrive in the Upper West Side in a couple of days."
At this point, Ally couldn't help but feel a bit pained.
She had been eyeing that jewelry for over half a year, and now she had to give it to someone else.
Juliet's eyes widened.
"Oh my God, Ally, you're so smart! You came up with a solution in just a few minutes!"
"My mind was still blank just now!"
"You're amazing!"
Ally was used to being flattered, but hearing it from her best friend made her vanity soar.
Juliet seemed to think of something.
"I heard the Eternal jewelry is very expensive. Ally, where did you get so much money?"
Ally's tone carried a hint of bragging.
The natural financial gap allowed her to easily feel superior to Juliet.
"My brother gave it to me! I've been eyeing that jewelry for a long time."
"When my brother found out, he transferred the money to me without a second thought."
"You know, he's a very famous racer abroad and has made a lot of money over the years."
"This little trinket is nothing to him."
Juliet's eyes were wide with envy.
"Your brother is so good to you! He's handsome and spoils you so much!"
Despite her words, Juliet couldn't help but roll her eyes inwardly.
It's just a piece of jewelry!
It's not like she hasn't bought one before!
She just had to flaunt it in front of her, talking about limited editions and only ten pieces worldwide. She really didn't know her limits.
If it weren't for her capable brother, would the North family give her so much money?
"Not really."
Ally's mood improved significantly, and she couldn't deny that Juliet's flattery was very pleasing to her.
