Jodie. This might work on other people, but you would only be making a fool of yourself by doing this to
Louis.”
Xyla took a look at Ryleigh and continued.” I refused to accept it when I learned that Louis had gotten
engaged to her. Six years! For six years, I had been trying to win over his heart, yet he still didn’t choose
me in the end. I need to know why. I need to know why he would rather choose her over me.”
Ryleigh looked at Xyla.
Xyla gave her a smile and said, “I didn’t feel bad losing to Ryleigh.”
You guys come from a good family. You’re destined to have everything you want the moment you are
born, and you don’t even need to work hard for it,” Jodie shouted hysterically. “But I’m different. If I want
something, I need to work for it. I don’t think I’m inferior to you rich girls, but why does the world have to
be so hard on me!?” Looking at Jodie, who was crying and sobbing profusely, something crossed
Ryleigh’s eyes, and she said, “Can it be the same as what your parents give you and what you get for
yourself? If I only knew how to ask for something, it would be better for me to stay at home and be a rich
lady at home than to come here and get criticized by you.
“Putting our identity aside, both of us are the same. My family didn’t help me, nor did Louis when I was
applying for the music academy. You think that you’re not inferior to us, but how can you be so sure that
we’re not as hardworking as you are? If you want something, you need to work for it. It’s the same for
everyone. Why should people who live a privileged and affluent life need to make compromises because
your life is hard? Nobody in this world is living an easy life. Do you think those cleaners, delivery men,
and construction workers are living an easy life? Do you ever hear them complaining about anything?”
Jodie suddenly stopped crying.
Ryleigh looked toward another side and added, “So what makes you think that people born into a
wealthy family won’t work harder than you?”
The wind blew through the branches, and a few flower petals dropped to the grass.
After a long while of silence, Jodie suddenly gave a cold laugh, “Hah! Don’t make me laugh, please.
Even though I’ve put in so much effort, I still couldn’t get what I wanted, so what makes you think you
can convince me that you’ve worked hard in just a few words?”
Just when Ryleigh was about to say something, Xyla interrupted and said sarcastically, “You tried your
best to squeeze yourself into high society. You sold your body and used everything you could to get
yourself a man, but do you know why you failed in the end? That’ s because high society is never short
of smart women like you. You need more than just a pretty face. Brain is a good thing, and I suggest you
use it sometimes.”
Jodie’s face turned red and blue with embarrassment after Xyla humiliated her. A smile then appeared
on Xyla’s face as she said, “If you had worked hard and had become a real ballerina or a pianist, you
would certainly attain more than you have right now.
Jodie’s body trembled, and she clenched her fists tightly.
Xyla walked closer to her and added, “I remember the music academy had high hopes for you, but you
were the one who let them down. Weren’t those rich people willing to invest in your dance dream? But
you, did you return the favor?”
Jodie stumbled. Her legs gave way, and she fell to the floor,
Xyla looked downward at her, her face bereft of emotion. “You were the one who put yourself in your
current situation, and you still have the guts to say that you’ve worked very hard for your dream? Don’t
make me laugh, please! You decided to rest on your laurels, and you still want to get recognition from
people. Do you think everyone is blind?”
After that, she glanced at the few female instructors. “You chose the wrong team, buttered up the wrong
person, and refused to use your brains to think over the situation yourself. Do you think you represent
justice? No, you’re just idiots. Honestly, it’s the first time I’ve seen such brainless people.” The few
female instructors hemmed and hawed. They felt embarrassed and humiliated at the same time.
