Sienna paused for a moment. To be honest, she hadn’t really thought about it.
“Jessica, I’m in love with Nathan-”

“Sienna, stop waiting for Nathan,” Jessica interrupted. “He’s already got an engagement set with Lucille Jenner. The marriage between the Lowe and Jenner families is official, and it’s unbreakable. You need to find a new target, fast.”
Jessica continued, “The Greenwood family is one of the most prestigious in Hovendale, Gilbert is well–born, and his character is excellent. He’s the husband the Lincoln family picked out for Bebe. If you can steal him, you’ll marry into the Greenwood family!”
Jessica was right. Nathan was about to get married. Even though Sienna still had feelings for him, she couldn’t waste her youth waiting for someone who was out of reach.
Sienna had always been a side branch of the Hawk family, and just earlier, Isabel had humiliated her. She needed to find a good match.
Now, Gilbert seemed like the best option.
Being chosen by the Lincoln family meant Gilbert was top–tier in every way.
If she could steal Gilbert away, it would be the perfect revenge on Halsey–she’d be able to hold her head high.
`She, the daughter of a side branch of the Hawk family, could still take away the fiancé of the Lincoln family’s true- born daughter!
Jessica laughed. “I didn’t expect Gilbert’s fiancée to be that uggo! What man wouldn’t prefer a beauty to someone like her? Sienna, I’m sure Gilbert is interested in you.‘
Sienna was skilled at reading people. Just one glance from Gilbert earlier in the car had told her everything she needed to know–he fancied her.
Halsey, that uggo, didn’t stand a chance of keeping him.
Sienna was the queen of Clavendale University’s dance department, adored by all the geeks. Winning Gilbert over would be a piece of cake.
Sienna nodded. “Alright, Jessica. Wait for the good news.”
“Halsey’s waiting for Gilbert to take her to the movies tonight. It’s your chance, Sienna.”
Sienna blushed, giving an okay sign.
Halsey returned to the girls‘ dormitory. She didn’t tell Wendy about the confrontation she had with Jessica and Sienna, so Wendy had no idea what had happened.
Halsey changed into a beautiful dress and spun around in front of Wendy. “Wendy, do you think Gilbert will like me in this dress for our date?”
Wendy was writing out a prescription. She glanced up at Halsey’s excited, bright smile and nodded. “He’ll definitely like it.”
Halsey made up her mind to wear the dress and began to get ready.
Wendy had just learned that Gilbert was Halsey’s fiancé. “Halsey, why did you choose Gilbert?”

“I’ve always had this birthmark on my face, and when I was younger, everyone used to make fun of how ugly 1 was. Only he ever said I was beautiful, and I felt warmth from him. Later, he told me he loved me, and we got engaged.”
Wendy had seen Gilbert once, during a basketball game. He was surrounded by cheering girls, and it was easy to see why he was warm and handsome.
Wendy nodded, walking over to Halsey. She gently covered Halsey’s left cheek, hiding the birthmark.
With that, Halsey’s true beauty was revealed. She had a small, delicate face framed by large, playful eyes, making her look gentle and charming.
Without that birthmark, Halsey would have likely captured the hearts of countless men.
“Wendy, it’s almost time. I’m heading out now.” Fully dressed, Halsey stood up, grabbed her bag, and headed for the door.
Wendy waved with a smile. “Alright, have fun!”

Gilbert had come to Clavendale University, ready to head to the cinema.
But the rain was still coming down, and his luxury car was parked quite a distance away. He planned to brave the rain and walk over.
“Just as he was about to head out, a pink umbrella appeared, held over his head.
