Chapter 279
Halsey stopped pretending. She revealed that she was, in fact, Bebe.
Halsey was Bebe?
Jessica was thunderstruck. Her mind went blank, unable to process the shocking revelation.
Halsey was actually Bebe?
She and Sienna had practically gone through the entire roster of Clavendale University–and the person they had been trying to get close to was none other than Halsey, the uggo?
It felt like a cruel joke from fate. Jessica couldn’t bring herself to believe it.
Meanwhile, Sienna stood frozen, unable to comprehend.
Halsey smiled. “Jessica, I heard from Stanley that you were desperate to be friends with me. You were so chatty earlier, but now that you’ve seen me, you can’t seem to get a word out.”
Halsey sat back on the sofa while Isabel and the bodyguards stood respectfully behind her. She watched with amusement as Jessica’s face twisted with embarrassment.
Jessica clenched her fists, mortified.
Thinking back to her words outside the estate gates, she realized how foolish she had been. At the time, Halsey hadn’t revealed her true identity, playing her like a fool.
“B–Bebe, how…” Sienna stammered, trying to speak up.
Halsey gave Sienna a sharp look. “I wasn’t talking to you. Do you think you have a right to interrupt?”
Sienna fell silent.
Isabel scoffed. “Your father is just a minor branch of the Hawk family. A few years ago, he begged Mr. Hawk for help, and it was only then that Mr. Hawk gave him a hand. You’re clever, though–pretending to be filial to Mrs. Glinda to get in her good graces. But you’re just a nobody who got slightly lucky. What right do you have to speak to the daughter of the Lincolns?”
Isabel’s harsh words tore apart Sienna’s weak family background, making her complexion go ashen.
Halsey turned to Jessica. “Oh, by the way, Jessica, about that limited–edition bag you gave me last night…”
Isabel handed the bag over to Halsey, who casually examined it in her hands.
“It’s a nice bag, but I don’t like it.”
With a flick of her wrist, Halsey tossed the bag straight into the trash.
Jessica stood still, stunned.
Halsey’s gaze was cold as she spat, “Jessica, Stanley has feelings for you and wants to marry you–but that’s his business, not mine. In my heart, I only acknowledge Wendy as my cousin–in–law. You’ll never replace her. If you thought you could take a shortcut through me, you’re sorely mistaken.”
Jessica’s face drained of color, her heart sinking. Halsey was flat–out rejecting her, and worse, blocking her path of getting into the Lincoln family’s good graces.
Glinda already didn’t like her; if the Lincoln family didn’t accept her either, how could she ever become Mrs. Hawk?

Chapter 279
And now, Bebe was saying she only acknowledged Wendy as her cousin–in–law. How could Jessica stand it?
“B–Bebe, isn’t there some kind of misunderstanding here? Wendy must’ve badmouthed me in front of you. I can explain, really-” Jessica tried to salvage the situation, lowering herself and struggling to fight back.
Halsey curled her lips into a smirk as she cut in, “Jessica, do you know why I invited you here today?”
Jessica had no idea.
“Because Stanley told me you really want to kiss up to me. So, I wanted to see for myself just how low you’d go to flatter someone else. And, wow, it’s truly a sight to behold!
Halsey applauded mockingly.
Jessica dug her nails into her palm, her body trembling with humiliation. Halsey had completely shattered her pride and dignity.
“Get these two out of here, now!” Isabel ordered.
The black–suited bodyguards immediately stepped forward grabbing Jessica and Sienna.
“Let go of me! Halsey, I’m the one Stanley loves! I dare you to lay a hand on me!” Jessica shrieked–she immediately tried to use Stanley to defend herself.
