If she did, she would look like a total idiot.

Kayla's friend became more animated as she continued to talk.

“Bennett was always giving you special treatment during our school days. It was really a shame that your family decided to immigrate to another country when you were in high school. I never heard of any rumors that Bennett was seeing anyone, Before he got married, you were the only woman I knew who had a close relationship with him. Anyway, he told you about his marriage, and he asked you when you'd come home. Isn't that a hint that he still has feelings for you?"

Kayla laughed as if she had heard a joke and waved her hand.

"You're overanalyzing this. He and his wife are obviously in love. Didn't they make it to the hot topic online more than once because of how sweet they are to each other?"

Her friend remained unconvinced, “You don't really know anything, do you? Bennett isn't on good terms with his stepmother. Now, his relationship with his father has become strained as well. The moment he reached marriageable age, Benico started to pressure him to marry someone. Shortly after, Bennett married Claudia, Almost everyone thinks there's a connection between his father's nagging and his unexpected marriage to Claudia. Besides, Benico doesn't seem to like Claudia. I heard she got kicked out when she visited Bennett's family.

Nore than three months have passed since they got married. After that, Claudia had only visited his family once. It'll be Benico's birthday soon, and there will be a party. Just wait and see. Something interesting will happen.

Kayla's friend ended her speech with a grin,

Meanwhile, Kayla saw an opportunity. Her mother had known Bennett's mother for a very long time, Before Bennett's mother died in a car accident, their families were in regular communication. In addition, Benico was fond of Kayla when she was a child.

They had not seen each other for years, and Kayla was not sure if Benico still remembered her.

Still, she considered herself superior to Claudia in that regard.

Now that Bennett and Benico were at an impasse because of Claudia, Kayla might as well keep stirring up trouble with her.

With this in mind, Kayla did not bother to respond to her friend.

On the sixth floor of the mall, the more Aurora talked, the more ridiculous she sounded to Claudia.

Aurora's theory seemed like something out of a romance novel. Finally, Claudia had enough and interrupted her friend.

“Stop spouting nonsense. I had never met Bennett before the accident."

“Maybe you did, but you forgot about it. Maybe you two met before, and Bennett fell in love with you at first sight at that time," Aurora said. Claudia sent her an unimpressed look. She was silent for a moment before saying sarcastically, "You should publish a romance novel or something. Your ideas will definitely sell."

Aurora threw her hands up helplessly.

“Alright, alright! I'm sorry."

Anyway, despite everything she said, she also never really believed the possibility that she was correct in her assumption.

She just thought that maybe Claudia was right, and maybe she had just read too many novels.

Claudia looked around, but no item caught her attention. As she proceeded to the next aisle, she said, "Now, please don't bring this up again. Anyway, come here and see if there's anything you like.

Aurora shook her head. She did not have enough money to buy expensive designer bags at the moment.

“Let's just shop for some clothes, then.”
