Compared to me, Janet excelled in everything. In order not to let my grandma say any bad words to my mom because of me, I had to study hard.

Because studying was the only thing I was good at. I went from a key middle school to a key university through hard work, finally gaining recognition through my own efforts.

Under Patricia's repeated warnings, Ronald no longer blindly catered to Georgina and tried his best to meet all my needs.

I knew that I looked ordinary, but my appearance was given by my parents. I never complained or felt sorry for myself. I believed that a person's character and thoughts mattered more than their appearance.

Beautiful people like Janet deserved favor because the Creator had put too much effort into creating her.

In the second half of the movie, Cecil became much more relaxed. He was no longer as restrained and shy as before. Instead, he began to happily discuss the plot with me.

I patiently listened to him and smiled at him from time to time. He became more relaxed, and the smile on his face hadn't faded for a long time.

Looking at Cecil's side face, I suddenly felt that he was quite cute.

When I got home at night, Janet asked me on WhatsApp how the things between me and Cecil went. I replied, [Not bad.] After a long time, I finally got a reply from Janet.

[Oh, that's good.]

I didn't think much about it. After putting down my phone, I went to bed.

The next day, I thought that since Cecil had invited me to watch a movie, I should also invite him to something else in return.

So, I asked if Cecil could have dinner with me tonight, and he readily agreed.

Cecil said he could come to pick me up at the company, and I didn't refuse. Since I planned to get to know him, it was always good to spend more time with him.

To know someone's character, one needed to observe their words and actions from multiple perspectives.

However, when Cecil arrived, there was actually another person sitting in the passenger seat. It was Janet.

I was a little confused at the time and didn't understand what was going on.

But Janet said to me with a perfect smile, "Lydia, I'm so bored. Can I join you for dinner?"

Cecil glanced at me and was somewhat embarrassed, but he didn't say anything in opposition.

Before long, Cecil and Janet began to chat happily.
