Free Web NovelChapter 322: Chapter 322: She Wants Cecilia Vaughn to Suffer!
Cecilia Vaughn’s thin lips slightly curved upwards, as she lifted her arm nonchalantly, even crossing them, entirely in a stance of watching the spectacle unfold.
As soon as she finished speaking, everyone turned to look at Fiona Vaughn and Chloe Alden. At a glance, they all burst out laughing...
The rooster complementing the phoenix?
This metaphor is absolutely spot on!
Fiona Vaughn, in her peach pink dress reaching her ankles, although proven to be a counterfeit, was still finely crafted. Her delicate face carrying a tinge of sadness was undeniably striking.
From any angle, she appeared as a tender, fragile beauty in need of protection.
In stark contrast, Chloe Alden, who had been vehemently defending Fiona Vaughn, was almost bursting with rage, her once delicate and charming face now resembling that of a shrew.
Moreover, she chose to wear a vibrant nightclub-style makeup today, with a black spaghetti strap mini dress, her ample cleavage nearly spilling out, and her long white legs blatantly attracting attention. A slight movement might even reveal her undergarments.
The dress was also embellished with rhinestones, strikingly gaudy and tacky!
So vivid it was hard to look directly!
She had lost her own youthful charm!
...
The worst part is, Chloe Alden chose to stand right next to Fiona Vaughn, making it a clear phoenix and rooster scenario.
No wonder Chloe Alden couldn’t find a boyfriend all these years. According to them, any man with normal taste would choose to look at Fiona Vaughn twice, rather than pick someone who looks as garish as Chloe Alden.
"Hahaha, this is killing me! Campus Belle Vaughn sure has a way with words! I think this metaphor about Fiona Vaughn and Chloe Alden is spot on!"
"Exactly, Chloe Alden, a proper college girl, ends up looking like a nightclub hostess. Isn’t that just a rooster?"
"Today’s laughs are all thanks to Campus Belle Vaughn. I never realized she was so straightforward, and she definitely has a knack for dry humor!"
Hearing the gossip all around, Chloe Alden was so furious it was like a thousand claws were scratching her heart.
She clenched her wrist tightly, feeling almost as if blood would gush from her throat.
"Cecilia Vaughn, you bitch! How dare you say that about me!"
Cecilia Vaughn’s analogy of the phoenix and rooster wasn’t new. Chloe Alden was already furious when they fought over clothes at the mall before, but at least there weren’t many people around then!
Now, under the watchful eyes of familiar old classmates!
Chloe Alden glared at Cecilia Vaughn’s indifferent face, hating Cecilia’s composed confidence!
"You, a plastic surgery freak, have the nerve to comment on others’ looks!"
...
"I know best whether I’ve had surgery or not, I don’t need you calling me a plastic surgery freak."
Cecilia Vaughn shrugged, her expression as serene as a still pond, as if she hadn’t heard Chloe Alden’s insults at all.
"Of course, Chloe Alden, if you think your looks are lacking and you need a cosmetic hospital for treatment, I wouldn’t know about that, can’t help you. However, I know Doctor Prescott from Prescott Hospital, he’s well-connected and might be able to refer you reluctantly."
"Cecilia Vaughn, you—"
This bitch dared to insinuate that I don’t measure up!
Chloe Alden was seething with anger; if it weren’t for everyone around, she almost wanted to smash a wine bottle on Cecilia Vaughn’s face!
The girls nearby couldn’t help but cover their mouths in laughter.
Chloe Alden, flaunting her status as the mayor’s daughter, had always strutted around, not just in Class A but all through high school, bullying everyone to some extent.
Now seeing Chloe Alden falter, those who had been bullied secretly felt delighted. They couldn’t confront Chloe Alden, but someone sticking up for them was satisfying!
...
"Sister, how can you say such harsh words to Chloe? That’s just too much..."
Fiona Vaughn, looking as beautiful and kind-hearted as ever, blocked Chloe Alden, shaking her head disapprovingly at Cecilia Vaughn.
Chloe Alden felt warmth in her heart; this usually arrogant and domineering heiress nearly moved her to tears.
"Fiona, boohoo, I knew you were the only one who truly treats me well. Everyone else is laughing at me..."
Cecilia Vaughn, seeing their display of sisterly affection, was immediately covered in goosebumps.
"Fiona Vaughn, what are you pretending to be a peacemaker for? When Chloe Alden called me a plastic surgery freak, you didn’t step in and stand up for justice, and now when I make a slight rebuttal, you jump in to protest? Your moral compass is seriously skewed, isn’t it?"
Having her hypocrisy exposed so directly, Fiona Vaughn’s expression turned ugly in an instant.
And Chloe Alden’s face changed over and over again, unable to suppress her raging anger.
"Cecilia Vaughn, you shameless woman, I won’t allow you to talk about Fiona that way!"
"You’re just jealous of Fiona and me being close, jealous that Fiona can get into Director Chapman’s project, aren’t you? After all, a career failure like you is not even worth mentioning in front of us!"
"Hah, I’m not envious of your kind of fake friendship..."
Hearing this, Cecilia Vaughn’s lips curled slightly with a crisp and bright expression.
Though no makeup graced her face, just that simple curl of her lips highlighted her natural beauty, captivating many of the boys around.
"If anyone has been convincing me for years to wear nightclub outfits just to make her own seven-point looks shine as perfect tens, whoever wants to engage in such a vile setup can do so without involving me."
Though she didn’t name names, Cecilia Vaughn’s words were no less than a grenade tossed into the calm center of a lake, causing an explosive splash!
Everyone was starkly silent, staring at Chloe Alden, suddenly remembering that she never used to favor this garish style, at most just a bit unconventional. As unsophisticated as it might have been, it wasn’t as outrageous as now.
But since she befriended Fiona Vaughn, her style veered more and more off track, contrasting sharply with Fiona Vaughn who always dressed fairy-like and beautifully.
"Yeah, if Fiona Vaughn really suggested Chloe Alden dress like this, while she herself dressed so angelically, wouldn’t the contrast make her look like a goddess come to earth?"
"Wow, using a friend to accentuate her own beauty, Fiona Vaughn’s scheme is terrifying?"
Even Chloe Alden felt a tension creeping into her heart. She might be straightforward, but not entirely dense to reason.
Dazed, she stared at the gracefully dressed Fiona Vaughn, then compared herself in that garish outfit, feeling utterly lost.
"Fiona, I..."
Fiona Vaughn internally panicked, fearing Chloe Alden might see through her scheming, quickly adopted a sorrowful expression and exclaimed emotionally.
"Chloe, do you really think I’m that kind of person? Boohoo..."
While crying and expressing grievances, a malevolent glint flashed in Fiona Vaughn’s eyes.
——It’s Cecilia Vaughn’s fault; she deserves this!
In the midst of speaking, Fiona Vaughn’s hand seemed to "accidentally" spill a glass of red wine towards Cecilia Vaughn’s down jacket!
