Chapter 708
Chapter 708:
As far as Bernice was concerned, they were the best noodles she had ever tasted.
“I didn’t expect such delicious noodles from a small street stall!” Bernice exclaimed.
Yelena replied, “Delicious things can be found everywhere. It’s not just high-end restaurants that can make great food. The same goes for people. Being born into wealth doesn’t automatically make someone a good person. Some people, even with a privileged upbringing, may lack kindness due to their inherently evil nature p>
Bernice cast a glance at Yelena, sensing that she was hinting at something deeper.
“I need to get back to work now,” Yelena then said.
Bernice replied, “Alright, see you tonight p>
Tessa was unaware of the connection between Yelena and Bernice. She assumed that Bernice was a new friend Yelena had made. Bernice had the demeanor of a rich heiress, exuding elegance, which led Tessa to think she was someone from a privileged background.
Tessa believed that she and Yelena were quite different from one another. Tessa didn’t look down on Yelena for it; she simply felt that Yelena and Bernice were different kinds of people.
“Wait a minute.” Bernice had already walked quite a distance, but then, as if remembering something, she turned and jogged back. “Tessa, let’s exchange contact information.” With that, Bernice took out her phone.
Tessa didn’t feel particularly flattered. She calmly took out her phone and exchanged contact details with Bernice.
Some people assumed that knowing rich people automatically meant having valuable connections.
In reality, however, that wasn’t the case. Human relationships were far more complex than that. Only connections that offered mutual benefits could be deemed valuable. Otherwise, they remained nothing more than casual acquaintances.

“Yelena!” Maggie exclaimed from a distance.
Although she yearned to address Yelena as her daughter-in-law, apprehension held her back, worried it might not sit well with Yelena. Thus, she opted simply to call out her name.
Yelena’s surprise was apparent. “Maggie, what brings you here?” she asked, puzzled.
Ignoring the question, Maggie presented a bag to Yelena. “What a stroke of luck meeting you like this! Saves me the trouble of inviting you out,” she said.
Yet, Maggie had actually been anticipating Yelena’s arrival, deliberately waiting to hand over the bag.
Yelena was confused. She couldn’t bring herself to accept a gift without understanding the reason behind it, so she declined it.
Maggie said, “The last time we met, you bought me coffee and later treated me to a burger. This is just a small way for me to show how grateful I am p>
“You really shouldn’t have,” Yelena said.
“But I insist,” Maggie continued. “You might really enjoy what’s inside. Are you available tonight? I would love to take you out for dinner p>
Yelena responded, “I won’t be free this evening; I’ve made prior arrangements with someone else p>
Yelena appreciated Maggie but often found her excessive warmth a bit overwhelming. Since she had previously agreed to go shopping with Bernice that evening, she decided to decline Maggie’s invitation.
Maggie wasn’t upset at all. With a smile, she simply said, “That’s okay. We can arrange another time to meet p>
