Chapter 86
Alicia looked at him like the answer was obvious. “Yes, you’re in the wrong. He’s in a wheelchair and you were about to put your hands on him. That’s crude and disrespectful. Can’t you act like the gentleman you’re supposed to be p>
She gave him a warning look and added firmly, “Jason is my friend now. If you try to lay a hand on him again, don’t blame me for what happens next p>
Nicolas eyes widened with disbelief. “You’re not just hitting me and yelling at me for him, but you’re threatening me too p>
His face paled, and he looked at her like she’d betrayed him. “And since when are you two even friends p>
Alicia saw the shock and hurt on his face, and she felt a surge of satisfaction.
See?‘ she thought. These hypocrites never understand how it feels until they’re the ones getting hurt p>
Nicolas couldn’t stand Jason, and now he couldn’t even handle her being friends with the man.
But when it came to Nicole, someone Alicia couldn’t stand, he expected her to be understanding and accommodating. He wanted them to be like loving sisters.
Alicia deliberately said, “Why can’t Jason and I be friends? You’re the one being petty here. So what if you two didn’t get dong in middle school? It’s not that big of a deal. Why hold a grudge for so long?
Jason is amazing, and being friends with him is the smart choice.” She added meaningfully, “I think you should let go of your prejudice and make peace with him. You could reach out first and turn this rivalry into a friendship p>
Nicolas‘ expression changed. “Impossible p>
His voice got louder. “There’s no way I’m making peace with that snake. And right now, he’s the one starting trouble, going ifter me and Kevin on purpose p>
He looked at Alicia with rare hurt in his eyes. “What’s wrong with you p>
How can she say things like this when she knows I hate Jason the most?‘ he thought. ‘We’re supposed to be on the same side.
Alicia let out a mocking laugh. “Wow, you guys are such hypocrites. I’ve said I hate Nicole too, remember? But you all kept bushing me to be best friends with her anyway. Why is it such a problem when it’s about you? Can’t handle your own nedicine?
She wrinkled her nose in disgust. “You look so pathetic right now, throwing a tantrum like this. It’s honestly annoying to watch. Jason has way more class than you. Maybe you should learn from him p>
She gave him a look that said, “Stop embarrassing yourself,” and added, “If you want to keep any dignity, move out of my way
They used to tell me to learn from Nicole, to be sweet and accommodating like her,’ she thought with satisfaction. Well, how do they like it now?
Nicolas face froze. He clearly hadn’t expected her to say something like that.
Alicia felt satisfied and looked down at Jason. “Don’t waste your time on that hypocritical jerk. Let’s go eat p>
Jason’s eyes lit up with amusement, and he smiled. “Sounds good. Let’s go p>
He had to admit, having Alicia stand up for him felt pretty damn nice.
