Scars Of A Broken Bond by Calv Momose

Chapter: 790
He was reserved and academic; she was bold and outspoken.
No one could ever win an argument against Bettie, who had a sharp tongue
However, around Lance, she became surprisingly docile.
Elora remarked with a smirk, “It’s been ages since you’ve seen Lance, hasn’t it? Lance, there’s Bettie. Weren’t you two lovers
once? Won’t you greet her?”
Lance’s unwavering gaze settled on Bettie as he approached her with deliberate steps.
The boy she remembered had grown into a poised man, with gold-framed glasses lending him an air of sophistication.
Bettie glanced at Lance and their eyes Locked.
Behind his glasses, his eyes held a hint of meaning.
Bettie said with a cool edge, “Couldn’t make it overseas, so you’ve come crawling back?”
Without missing a beat, Lance retorted, “All these years and still single, are you?”
The room was thick with tension as the former lovers exchanged sharp words and even sharper glances.
Elora chuckled and said, “Oh Bettie, always with her jokes. Lance, failing abroad? He’s practically royalty in the venture capital
realm.
Even though you’ve been broken up for many years, do you still have those old angry feelings towards him? Listen to me. Don’t
be so narrow-minded.”
Sabrina countered, “This is Lance, right? Funny, isn’t it? Bettie’s had her fair share of admirers over the years. Are you implying
nobody’s wanted her? It’s been years since your breakup. Can’t get over her, can you? Funny, in all our years of friendship,
Bettie’s never once brought up someone named Lance.”
Lance squinted his eyes and gave Bettie a silent, intense Look.
She never once mentioned him to her friends over the years.

Elora’s expression clouded as she addressed Sabrina with displeasure.
“And who might you be?”
“Me? Just a friend of Bettie’s. Sabrina Chavez.” With a calm expression, Sabrina glanced at her. “Is something wrong?”
Elora looked at her up and down and remarked with disdain, “Ah, Tyrone Blakely’s ex-wife. He chose to cheat on you. No
surprise you and Bettie get along.”
“You making fun of Sabrina over this issue? It’s quite the joke.”
Bettie shot back.
