Portia was so shocked that she staggered a bit but still managed to find her footing in time. This was the first time that she was seeing someone so shameless as to expose herself to the people about being in prison.

She even regretted the uneasiness that caused her to shoot herself in the foot. Mary has done so many things that had practically slapped her face until it was red and swollen like a pig.

She was so embarrassed to look at the crowd but since she was already been implicated, she decided to thicken her face and dance to the music.

“You are welcome. Since you are done shopping, let's go somewhere quiet and reminisce,” with a sunny smile Portia said as she looked at Venus.

Venus also didn’t want to cause so much scene as the gaze on her was so strong and she wasn’t feeling comfortable at all.

She looked back at Portia and nodded slightly, “sure, it’s been a while after all.”

After that, the people who had been enjoying the drama and eating melons felt a bit upset as the two players were no longer playing and causing a drama.

[Ahh, I wanted to see more and hear more.]

[Me too, I wonder what that Mary did to go to prison?]

[With a face like that, she must have done something horrible!]

[You mustn’t judge a book by its cover. She doesn’t look like that kind of person but that friend of hers is a bit suspicious.]

[Now that you say it, where have I seen that person?]

The people in the shop were busy gossiping and speculating about the Venus and Portia, and the two people involved happened to be in a private room having some coffee while exchanging hostile missiles against each other.

“I just didn’t expect that I will see you, you haven’t changed at all,” Portia tried her best to be as calm as possible.

But seeing how beautiful the other looked, the expensive clothes on her body, and the black card that made her cough out blood when she saw it, she hated Venus a lot.

“So many things have happened from the last time that we met. Not only did I serve two and a half years in prison but I also got released on parole before the term was fully served. I experienced a lot of things and at some point, I even looked for you but alas, Portia it seems that our friendship died before I even got arrested. When I needed my friend the most, she wasn’t there for me,” Venus sneered as she looked at the pale-faced Portia.

“You_”

“There is no need for you to pretend as if you missed me or you care for me. We both know deep down in our hearts what the truth is. Since I have seen you now, I hope that you will stop parading yourself as my friend and stop maligning my name in the future. And one more thing, I am called Venus and no longer Mary, keep that in mind!” Venus coldly stated before she left without giving Portia any face.

Portia was so angry that her fists were clenched and the veins were popping out. Her face was red and fuming as great anger overtook her.

“What gives her the right to treat me like this? That b*** who used to crawl and beg me now wants to step all over me! Dream on, I will teach you a lesson that you will never forget. I dealt with you once before and I can do it again! And this time I will not be showing any mercy!”

Venus had no idea that Portia was so angry to the extent of scheming against her again. She was currently in the car returning back to the village and her eyes were closed as she recalled the painful past.

Venus was very foolish to trust that the person she had given her heart to was truly in love with her. Because of her greediness, selfishness, and jealousy, she did something bad. She hated a former classmate for no reason at all.

As this classmate was loved by her family, pampered, spoiled, and also good at her studies. Venus hated her so much as she couldn’t have what this girl had. She just wanted to make a life for that girl so miserable as seeing her with her friends laughing and being positive about life infuriated her.

Without any background and ability, Venus ended up being with a young master who was rich and influential. Thanks to him, she began to feel like a person and that void in her began to get completed.

With the help of the young master, Venus was able to cause havoc on the girl that she hated and caused great damage. At the same time, she also started doing drugs, because she wanted to be loved and look tough, so she joined her boyfriend.

Only her life to thoroughly come to an end one day because of this. She was at her small apartment that her boyfriend was renting for her when she suddenly got arrested.

She didn’t even remember how she was caught with drugs as she didn’t even remember taking any for the past two days. She was in so much confusion that everything felt like a dream.

Her boyfriend abandoned her and threatened her greatly, her family that never cared for her disowned her and officially took her name out of the family register.

As for her friends, haaa, they were a joke. Venus was good friends with Portia, it couldn’t be considered to be 100% genuine but she was the person that she trusted a lot and confided in a lot.

She just never thought that Portia would also abandon her and treat her the way that she did earlier.

She was very disappointed but at the same time, she was relieved to have gotten all those words off her chest. She had not come across a face that she remembers from school ever since she was arrested.

The driver didn’t say anything and the same was true for Alice, as a werewolf, she has overheard so much more than she had wanted to. And to make matters worse, Alpha Livius was also listening as the phone was recording everything.

She had never thought that Luna’s past was this exciting. This was the secret that Luna had been keeping and this time, she kind of understood that everyone has got their own problems.

Just because she was smiling and being merry, it didn’t mean that the scars were not there.

The drive back to the village was very quiet and no one disturbed her. the shopping trip was disturbed and Venus went to bed the second that she returned.

When Livius returned, he found his wife in bed and she was sleeping. There were wet tears still hanging on her eyelashes and he felt his heartache.

He leaned forward and planted a kiss on her forehead, “those who make you sad, I will deal with them accordingly!”

This was the vow that he made for her. He had not even made her cry and yet someone else managed to do that before him. Dracon couldn’t take it and neither could he. So, what if his woman has such a past?

She was his and his to judge.
