CHAPTER 266: CHAPTER 272: THE TRUTH ABOUT MARRIAGE (5)

Mia Ginger was taken aback and turned around warily to look at her.

"Curious how I know?" Windsor Myres sneered and said, "Your dad is involved with the Jackson Family, right? With that appearance, temperament, and figure, plus what you yourself let slip—the youngest neurosurgery professor in the country—how could I not know?"

Mia Ginger hesitated for a moment and frowned, "I didn’t know he was so famous."

What she knew of Koa Jackson was that he was very low-key.

He had just returned to the country, busy with work.

She hadn’t heard of him attending any gatherings or having any favorite hobbies.

"Let me put it this way."

"..." Mia Ginger was at a loss for words.

After a while, she scolded softly, "Are you crazy? Who talks like that?"

"I’ve spoken like this since I was a child," Windsor Myres said dismissively.

She had always been like this—arrogant, sharp, eye-catching, and unrestrained.

Only by being that way could she find the greatest sense of presence in the Myres Family, and only that way could she avoid being gnawed away by the people around her until there was nothing left but bone residue.

Thinking about it brought a twinge of sadness.

Windsor Myres stared at the night and took a drag of her cigarette.

The cold wind entered her lungs, causing her to cough violently.

Mia Ginger found the sound discomforting and said bluntly, "If it makes you uncomfortable, just throw it away. It’s not like it’s anything good."

Windsor Myres loosened her fingers, letting half the cigarette fall from her hand.

She leaned on the railing in a daze.

Windsor Myres pulled out another cigarette from her pocket and lit it, taking a deep drag and speaking in her distinctively lazy tone, "The second son of the Myres Family. But it’s just in name. He’s the child of my aunt and another man,

Mia Ginger glanced at her sideways and after a moment, consoled, "It’s all in the past."

"Isn’t that right?

Mia Ginger widened her eyes.

Looking at Windsor Myres, she was somewhat incredulous.

Her mind churned, but soon, she believed her words.

She always felt life was unfair to her, but at this moment, she suddenly felt that life had treated her quite well.

Despite the many twists and turns, there was still room for everything.

Mia Ginger took a deep breath.

She looked at her seriously and said, "Classmate Windsor Myres."

"Hmm?" Windsor Myres was baffled.
