BookToReadChapter 230
"Yeah, wasn't it a brilliant idea to see in the New Year here?" Sabrina grinned mischievously.
Olivia nodded with a smile, "Absolutely!"
"Hey, where's Allie?" Sabrina glanced at the door and pulled out her phone. "Letgive her a call."
Just then, the door swung open.
Sabrina looked up, smiling. "I was just about to call you and wait, what the heck?"
It wasn't Allison who walked in, but Joshua. And Megan.
Sabrina's smile vanished, replaced by a simmering anger. She demanded, "Who invited them?"
Olivia shook her head, signaling she had nothing to do with it.

George shrugged, also clueless.
Brian awkwardly chimed in, "Weren't you the one who said we should celebrate New Year's? | couldn't leave out
my best buddy, could I?"
"Seriously, are you out of your mind?" Sabrina snapped. "Don't you know what he did to Allie? He hooked up with
a movie star! | put this whole thing together to cheer Allie up, and you bring Joshua? What were you thinking?"
"What?" Brian looked bewildered. "You never toldnot to invite Joshua. We've been tight for over a decade..."
Brian rubbed his nose and sighed, "Don't blow a gasket. A breakup's just a breakup. We're all in the scircle.
We can't just cut one of them off over this."
"Ha." Sabrina let out a sarcastic laugh. "Why not? I've got no interest in hanging out with Joshua. If it means
cutting ties, then so be it!"
Brian got a bit panicked. "Hey, don't make it a big deal. It's not worth ending friendships over. Hearout..."
"Shut it!" Sabrina interrupted harshly before Brian could finish. "Either they leave, or | do!"
Olivia thought about calming
Sabrina down, but seeing Joshua
and Megan standing there made her feel awful. Allie was her best friend, and she was definitely on Allie's side.
Even though Joshua was also her friend and her brother's childhood buddy, she couldn't forgive a cheat!
Olivia and Sabrina stood their ground, protesting Joshua and Megan's presence.
"Hey, calm down, everyone. Joshua and | got together after he and Ms. Allison broke up. There was no cheating,"
Megan said with a friendly smile.
"You zip it too!" Sabrina wasn't having any of it.
Brian sighed and pulled Sabrina aside. "Please, just stay out of it. This is all a misunderstanding."
Brian knew the ins and outs of Megan and Joshua's relationship, unlike Sabrina. When the rumors first spread,
Joshua had cclean with Brian and George. After all in Oak Lake, a scandal involving its most prominent

George had even warned Joshua to be careful, lest Allison get hurt and refuse to cback.
Facing Sabrina's fiery stance, Brian almost spilled the truth, but a look from Joshua stopped him.
Sabrina was bold and
straightforward. She couldn't keep a
secret. If she knew, Allie would find
out soon enough, and it'd ruin all their efforts.
Amid the rising tension, the door opened again.
"Sorry, I'm late. Got held up."
Allison walked in, her eyes meeting Joshua's, and her heart skipped a beat.
