Vanished Best Friend, Vengeful Me

Summary

Sunlight warmed my back as I gardened, then a news alert flashed:

"Crestwood’s Golden Boy Humiliates Gatecrasher to Please Fiancée."

Lucas Vance—my best friend Lily’s fiancé.

Dread coiled in my gut. A month ago, Lily left to plan their wedding in Linwood… then vanished. My contacts swore she was fine.

I tapped the video.

The "gatecrasher" being thrown out was Lily.

Hair tangled, she begged as Lucas coldly held another woman. Guests sneered:

"Claiming to be Sophia Song’s best friend? Pathetic."

"Look at her rags—another delusional Cinderella."
