[Volume 4]: Chapter 112 - A Sweet Girl Won’t Be Fooled By The Villainess

If we were to say that the previous Jessica was naive and innocent, she has grown considerably after experiencing Austin's pursuit. At least when it comes to matters of the heart, she is no longer a novice. So, when she thinks about the intimate relationship between her friends Ifia and Miss Barren, it's obviously more than just friendship and is moving in the direction of a romantic relationship. Jessica is very curious about this. After all, Miss Barren is synonymous with perfection, excelling in every aspect and standing above others as a talented individual. Not to mention her appearance and figure, which are in perfect condition. Compared to her, Austin... well, it's better not to make any comparisons to avoid embarrassment. It's not that Austin is bad, but Miss Barren is just too exceptional. And for such an extraordinary person to be devoted to Ifia alone is quite astonishing. Moreover, there have been clues of this long before. The way they are affectionate and clingy with each other is no different from a couple that is deeply in love. Hmm~ No matter how you see it, you have to wonder how Ifia managed to captivate such a powerful figure like Miss Barren! "Huh? Jessica, what are you talking about?!" However, after Jessica's question, Ifia's expression was one of astonishment. Subsequently, with an incredulous look in her dark eyes, Ifia gazed at Jessica as if she had heard something not about expressing feelings but rather about committing a crime. This left Jessica puzzled. What is Ifia thinking? Meanwhile, Lucy continued to be an eager observer, enthusiastically soaking in this juicy gossip. Later, Ifia continued, "Jessica, it's great that you and Austin are together, but don't go around playing matchmaker carelessly! Be careful, if Amelia finds out, she'll be furious with you!" ".. Hearing this, Jessica was speechless, convinced that Ifia was absolutely unbending in her stance! So, Jessica simply waved her hand dismissively, indicating that she understood and steered the conversation away from that topic, chatting about something else instead. It was actually Ifia who couldn't sit still, resembling someone sitting on a couch cushion with a hidden spike. Unable to use a reason to excuse herself, Ifia endured and then picked up some pastries to eat, but her mind was elsewhere. Her unconsciously shifting black eyes couldn't focus on anything. Jessica actually suggested that she should confess her feelings to Amelia!!! How is that even possible!!! She and Amelia are just good friends. How could things develop into something else! If that were the case, it would ruin their friendship... But then again, why not! Jessica and Austin are both girls, and after Austin's pursuit, the distance between them has already shortened, and it's likely that they will announce good news soon. So, she and Amelia can too! Compared to anyone else, only she is Amelia's favorite! Thinking about this, Ifia couldn't help but smirk quietly, smiling so foolishly and innocently that it was almost unbearable to watch. Both Jessica and Lucy exchanged glances, their eyes indicating that they were ready to witness a good show. If Ifia and Miss Barren could be brought together, they would surely be greatly appreciated by Miss Barren! There would definitely be a generous token of gratitude. However, if Ifia could be easily persuaded, Amelia wouldn't have hinted at it several times before, and they could only helplessly indulge Ifia in the end. At this point, Ifia, who had been thinking about confessing her feelings, had even thought about becoming a queen, but suddenly something came to her mind that brought her back to reality. Ifia also really likes Amelia. She has liked her from the beginning, and as time passed, this fondness has only grown deeper! She yearns to be by Amelia's side at all times and doesn't want to be apart from her. Hence, what she said about their friendship was only used to deceive others, not herself. This left Ifia feeling conflicted. But, confessing her feelings is definitely not something she should initiate. Because Ifia is uncertain whether Amelia wants to change their relationship from friends to lovers? In case she confesses and Amelia hesitates or rejects her, just thinking about it feels like a nightmare! Initially, Ifia thought she had concealed her feelings so well that even Amelia hadn't noticed. But she hadn't expected that Jessica would find out!!! Annoying! Thinking about this, Ifia immediately snapped out of her trance, then looked at Jessica silently, unable to understand how she had been exposed! After being stared down by Ifia, Jessica was temporarily speechless and then glared at Ifia with a raised eyebrow, "Do you have something to say, or are you going to keep staring at me like that?" "Ahem... well... Noting Jessica's words, Ifia suddenly became somewhat awkward. But curiosity prevailed. Moreover, since Jessica had already seen through her, Ifia finally admitted, "Jessica, how did you figure out my feelings for Amelia?!" "How else could I have figured it out, through telepathy? You really think you concealed it so well?! Anyone with eyes would notice your unscrupulous intentions towards Miss Barren~ And if you don't believe me, ask Lucy. She noticed it even earlier than I did!" Jessica knew how to be sarcastic. Ifia announced the end of their friendship for a minute. However, after contemplating something, Ifia ended up asking, "Can Amelia tell too?" It was a question she had never considered before. If Amelia found out... then all those times they were close and affectionate, Amelia would surely realize that Ifia had weird intentions. Oh no, it's so shameful. Ifia's cheeks quickly turned bright red, prompting her to cover her face with her hands due to embarrassment. But even through the gaps between her fingers, she looked like a cute little red apple. Seeing this, both Lucy and Jessica couldn't continue. Apart from Ifia's impure thoughts, it's likely that Miss Barren is up to no good either. Although this might sound bad, on closer inspection, since Ifia's enrollment at Pris Academy, Miss Barren has taken her under her wing, forcefully integrating herself into Ifia's life. Miss Barren even monitored Ifia's social circle, eliminating any threats to Ifia whenever she sensed any ill intentions, without Ifia's knowledge. Ifia was so clueless that she had no idea about any of this, otherwise, anyone else would have felt suffocated. But judging from the meticulous care that Miss Barren showed for Ifia, it undoubtedly meant that she would be the best partner for her. Both Jessica and her hoped that Ifia would always be happy. So, the pair decided to keep quiet about Miss Barren's actions and let Ifia continue with her sweet illusions. "Huh? What are you guys talking about? You seem to be having fun." Just as Jessica was considering whether to add fuel to the fire before Ifia goes to confess, the voices of Miss Barren and Amelia were heard from the doorway.
