2/2 Chapter 39 Surprisingly , Lacy ignored Mia's mockery , her smile growing even more eager . " Come on , Mia , why are we doing this ? Our families have so many business dealings . Why defend someone like Sarah ? She's just a divorced nobody . " Mia was disgusted . Lacy's fawning behavior gave her the creeps . Even Lindsey , standing behind Lacy , looked shocked at her friend's behavior . " Lucy , If you don't leave now , I'll have security escort you out , " Mia said flatly . Though taken aback , Lacy maintained her smile , standing up casually . " Well , since you're busy , I'll get going . See you around ! " How shameless can she be ?

" It's my grandfather's birthday today , so I need to head back early . Can't walk home with you today . " Sarah nodded , helping the student council members pack up the tables and chairs . " Go ahead , I'll be a while here anyway . " Mia left reluctantly , making Sarah smile at her attachment . 1/2 After storing the registration forms in her office drawer , Sarah gathered her things and headed toward the main gate . A Maserati was parked outside , drawing student attention . While Adams University had plenty of wealthy students , a Maserati was still a rare sight . Lucy and Lindsey were leaving campus , trash - talking Sarah , when Lindsey suddenly gasped , staring ahead . " Lucy , is that your brother ? " Lucy froze , following Lindsey's gaze to indeed spot her brother . How strange had hell frozen over ? Though James was her brother , he rarely involved himself in her affairs . What was he doing at the university ?
