In Chapter 115 titled \u201cUngrateful Girl,\u201d Liana bursts into a room filled with excitement, proudly announcing her achievement of ranking 15th in the state. This accomplishment is significant in Haldoria, symbolizing her hard work and dedication. As she shares her joy with Matthew, her attention seems solely focused on him, while her friend Adriana watches from a distance, wearing a mask of tranquility that hides her growing discontent.<\/p>\n
Adriana\u2019s feelings of jealousy and frustration simmer beneath the surface as Liana revels in her success. When Liana playfully questions Adriana about her own achievements, Adriana deflects, instead choosing to remind Liana of her past struggles. This moment highlights the stark contrast between Liana\u2019s current lifestyle, adorned in expensive clothes, and her earlier days of hardship. Adriana\u2019s attempt to ground Liana in reality is met with confusion and hurt, leaving Liana vulnerable and uncertain.<\/p>\n
Matthew\u2019s support for Liana only exacerbates the tension between the two women. Adriana feels sidelined, as Matthew consistently defends Liana, ignoring Adriana\u2019s concerns about the potential consequences of showering Liana with too much financial support. As the emotional undercurrents rise, Adriana decides to leave the celebration, feeling unappreciated and frustrated by Matthew\u2019s inability to see her perspective.<\/p>\n
In a desperate attempt to retain Adriana\u2019s friendship, Liana chases after her, expressing gratitude and remorse for her choices. However, Adriana, while sympathetic, recognizes the futility of trying to change someone else\u2019s path and gently withdraws her hand from Liana\u2019s grasp. She asserts the importance of honesty and understanding between women, conveying that they have both experienced similar struggles. This moment signifies a turning point, as Adriana resolves to prioritize her own emotional well-being over the complexities of their friendship.<\/p>\n

**Chapter 115: Ungrateful Girl**<\/p>\n
Liana dashed across the room, her heart racing with excitement, and plopped down next to Matthew, a bright grin plastered across her face. \u201cGuess what? I ranked 15th in the entire state!\u201d Her voice was a melody of triumph, echoing through the air as if she had just announced a great victory.<\/p>\n
This was monumental. In Haldoria, achieving 15th place in the state was nothing short of genius-level recognition. It was a badge of honor, a testament to her hard work and dedication.<\/p>\n
Adriana, sitting nearby, couldn\u2019t help but smile. \u201cCongrats, Liana,\u201d she said, her tone warm but tinged with something unspoken.<\/p>\n
Liana\u2019s gaze flickered toward Adriana, curiosity piqued. \u201cSo, what did you get back then?\u201d she asked, her voice playful, a hint of mischief lacing her words.<\/p>\n
Adriana deftly sidestepped the question. \u201cI ordered a cake to celebrate. It should be here soon, so I\u2019ll just\u2014\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWait, Adriana! You\u2019re leaving already? I just got here! Are you upset because I did well?\u201d Liana teased, her laughter bubbling like a stream, half-joking but hoping to provoke a reaction.<\/p>\n
Adriana shook her head, distancing herself from the cheerful duo. It was as if an invisible wall had risen between them, one that had grown thicker over the years. Ever since Matthew had begun to support Liana four years ago, Adriana had slowly withdrawn, her attention fading like a shadow at dusk. Liana, in her youthful exuberance, paid little mind to Adriana\u2019s retreat; her focus was solely on Matthew.<\/p>\n
Though Liana was still navigating the waters of youth, she was no longer a child. She was an adult now, or so she believed, and she should have understood the boundaries that existed between men and women. Yet, here she was, clinging to Matthew\u2019s arm, embodying the very definition of cute, a playful charm that seemed to light up the room.<\/p>\n
Matthew, for his part, appeared unfazed by Liana\u2019s antics. In fact, he often stole glances at Adriana, perhaps hoping to spark a flicker of jealousy in her calm demeanor.<\/p>\n
Adriana maintained her silence, her expression a mask of tranquility, but beneath it, a tempest brewed.<\/p>\n
Last year, at Liana\u2019s coming-of-age party, both Matthew and Adriana had been present. It was a day that had etched itself into Liana\u2019s memory; Matthew had gifted her a brand-new iPhone, a lavish present that had cost him over ten thousand dollars. The thrill that coursed through Liana had been palpable, leading her to plant a kiss on Matthew\u2019s cheek, a gesture that had sent ripples of annoyance through Adriana for days. Yet, Matthew had shrugged it off, viewing Liana as just a spirited girl, full of life and innocence.<\/p>\n
\u201cLiana,\u201d Adriana interjected, her voice slicing through the air, \u201ccongrats on getting into college. But remember when I first met you, crying on the street, begging for my leftover lunch?\u201d She aimed to ground Liana, to remind her of where she had come from. \u201cAnd now, look at you, decked out in designer brands. That outfit must have cost a fortune. Did you buy it with your scholarship? That alone could probably cover your tuition for a while, right?\u201d<\/p>\n
The contrast was stark. Back then, Liana had struggled to afford even a proper meal. Now, she was adorned in high-end Adidas and Nike gear\u2014certainly not luxury, but expensive enough to reflect a regular person\u2019s monthly salary. The shoes alone had set her back over three thousand dollars.<\/p>\n
Liana\u2019s smile faltered, her expression shifting to one of confusion and hurt. \u201cAdriana, what are you implying?\u201d<\/p>\n
Her head drooped, a picture of vulnerability, her eyes shimmering with unshed tears.<\/p>\n
She was a master of theatrics\u2014her performance far superior to that of Danielle or Nicole.<\/p>\n
\u201cMatthew,\u201d she said, her voice wavering as she turned to him, \u201cis Adriana upset with me for spending your money? You paid for my education, and I promise I\u2019ll pay you back. I bought this outfit as a little reward from my scholarship. I wore it today just for you. Usually, I wouldn\u2019t even dream of it.\u201d<\/p>\n
Matthew\u2019s brow furrowed, concern etching his features. \u201cAdriana, if you\u2019re upset, take it out on me. Liana just got into college\u2014that\u2019s a reason to celebrate, not to scold her.\u201d<\/p>\n
Adriana let out a laugh, a sound that held no joy.<\/p>\n
See? People rarely changed.<\/p>\n
Old habits clung like stubborn vines.<\/p>\n
Matthew had always been like this. Whenever she expressed disagreement, he would instinctively side with the other person.<\/p>\n
Adriana had voiced her concerns before. Supporting Liana was one thing, but showering her with too much money was a slippery slope. Girls their age could easily lose their way.<\/p>\n
But Matthew wouldn\u2019t hear it. He would call her heartless, exclaiming, \u201cHow\u2019s a girl supposed to live on a thousand a month?\u201d<\/p>\n
Back then, Adriana had felt crushed. A thousand dollars a month? That was what she earned through hard work and odd jobs.<\/p>\n
Matthew seemed to see everyone else\u2019s struggles but was blind to hers.<\/p>\n
And truthfully, she had been foolish to stay by his side for four long years despite all the turmoil.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou two go ahead and celebrate. I\u2019m sure you\u2019ll have a blast without me,\u201d Adriana said, rising from her seat, a sense of finality in her voice.<\/p>\n
\u201cAdriana!\u201d Matthew exclaimed, shoving Liana aside and gripping Adriana\u2019s arm. \u201cDon\u2019t do this. We agreed to throw a party for Liana today. Remember?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re the one funding her celebration, not me,\u201d Adriana replied, shrugging off his hand as she made her way to the door.<\/p>\n
\u201cAdriana, do you not like me?\u201d Liana cried out, desperation creeping into her voice as she chased after her.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you don\u2019t like me, I can change. Please don\u2019t leave. I\u2019m so grateful for everything you\u2019ve done!\u201d She grasped Adriana\u2019s hand, tears streaming down her cheeks. \u201cIt\u2019s my fault for buying these expensive clothes.\u201d<\/p>\n
Adriana paused, looking at Liana with a mix of pity and resolve. She had felt compassion for Liana once. Here was a young girl, inexperienced and alone, with a disabled father depending on her. But now, she understood that kindness could be squandered. Everyone had their own journey, and trying to alter someone else\u2019s path only drained her spirit.<\/p>\n
\u201cLiana,\u201d she said softly, her voice steady, \u201cwe\u2019re both women. I was once your age too. There\u2019s no need for games between us.\u201d With that, she gently withdrew her hand, her gaze unwavering. \u201cI know exactly what you\u2019re thinking.\u201d<\/p>\n
In this poignant chapter, the emotional arc of Liana and Adriana culminates in a moment of stark realization and painful clarity. Liana, buoyed by her recent success, is blissfully unaware of the growing chasm between her and Adriana, who has silently borne the weight of resentment and disappointment. The celebration of Liana\u2019s achievements, tinged with the shadows of their shared past, forces Adriana to confront the uncomfortable truth of her own sacrifices. As she attempts to remind Liana of her roots, the young girl\u2019s naivety and insensitivity become painfully evident. This moment serves as a turning point for both characters, highlighting the complexities of friendship and the often unspoken expectations that accompany it.<\/p>\n
Adriana\u2019s decision to step away marks a bittersweet conclusion to their interaction, illustrating her resolve to prioritize her own well-being over the emotional burdens she has carried for too long. Liana\u2019s desperate pleas reveal her vulnerability, yet they also underscore her inability to grasp the depth of Adriana\u2019s struggles. The chapter closes with a sense of finality, as Adriana recognizes that true compassion cannot be one-sided, and that sometimes, the hardest choice is to let go. In this moment of self-assertion, both women are left to grapple with their evolving identities\u2014Liana, still chasing validation, and Adriana, finally reclaiming her voice. The emotional landscape they navigate is fraught with tension, but it is also a necessary step towards healing and growth, even if it means facing the uncomfortable truths that lie ahead.<\/p>\n
