Chapter 282: Triumph Above All Chapter 282

Yulia looked back and saw a man and woman walking out of the Ocean Hill community.The woman with long curls wore a red low-cut dress that accentuated her curves. She was a sex kitten.All that beauty was marred by a mocking expression she carried on her face.“Yulia, is that really you?”“What are you doing in an exclusive community like Ocean Hill?”The somewhat familiar face sparked a memory in Yulia.The woman was Stephanie Stephenson. They shared a desk during high school.However, Stephanie had always been a vain girl who refused to be outshined.Yulia had nothing in common to chat with her.At the time, all the boys in school could not take their eyes away from the brilliant girl Yulia was. It was reason enough for Stephanie to turn into a green-eyed monster.Nevertheless, Stephanie caught wind that Yulia dropped out of school during the year of their graduation. Yulia gave birth to a baby whose father was unknown not too long later and was ostracized by her family. That was it for her future.Since then, Stephanie would get a sense of superiority every time she saw Yulia.The guy next to her was her newfound rich boyfriend. The pair hit it off, and wedding bells would soon be ringing.Stephanie counted the days until she would become the wife of a wealthy husband.Now that she stumbled upon Yulia, there was no way Stephanie would miss the chance to show off.Displeased, Yulia answered, “I’m free to do whatever I want here, Stephanie. I don’t need to explain myself to you.”“Oh, my. Did I ask you to explain yourself?”Stephanie’s shrill voice was ear-piercing. “I was concerned you might be embarrassed if the security kicks you out. It was only friendly advice, seeing that we used to share a desk.“And that’s what I get for being nice.” Skylar heard every word as he was walking out of the security office.Taking large strides ahead, Skylar wrapped his arm over Yulia’s shoulder and curtly uttered, “We don’t need your so-called friendly advice.”“Don’t need? Are you telling me that you’re residents here too?”Stephanie retorted in disdain.Skylar gave her a glance. “Why? Can’t we live here?”“You probably have no clue about the price of the properties here.”Stephanie burst into laughter. “Take a look in the mirror. I don’t know where you find the courage to brag about living in Ocean Hill.”She had an idea of Yulia’s situation. Although Yulia was the CEO of her family business, she was in the same salary range as a professional manager. Together with the burden of raising a child, Yulia would be lucky to accumulate a saving of a hundred thousand dollars.Stephanie took stock of Skylar, noticing the absence of a label on his clothes. The man must not be made of money. For all she knew, Skylar could just be a moocher.The most expensive property in Ocean Hill was the 130-million-dollar hillside villa while the cheapest cost at least 60 million.It was unlikely Skylar and Yulia could afford any!“Idiot!”Skylar coldly scoffed, refusing to spend any more time with the woman. “Let’s go, Yulia.”Yulia was kind of over Stephanie too. She nodded and carried Lola to head toward their ride.In the back, Stephanie drew out her claws and shouted, “Who are you to call me an idiot, you bloodsucker!“I’ll find out whether you’re property owners here once and for all!”Strutting her heels, she swayed her hips and sauntered toward the security office.Stephanie was almost at the door when she yelled at the security guards in a high-pitched voice, “Hey! Those two beggars bragged that they are residents here. Aren’t you going to do something about it?”
