“Did I take a photo of you? Look at yourself! There’s nothing about you worth capturing. It’d be a waste of my storage space, idiot!”Â
Wendy was so stunned by the tirade that she was momentarily speechless.Â
Had paparazzi really become this arrogant?Â
By the time she finally snapped out of it, her anger had only grown stronger. Then she spotted Nancy sitting across from her.Â
Nancy’s striking, familiar face caught her off guard. A moment later, realization hit Wendy, and she sneered, “So, you’re my cousin’s friend. Well, well, Nancy, you’re hanging out with such low-Â
class people, huh? If you don’t want your friend to end up in jail, I suggest you make her deleteÂ

the restaurant, and the moment they spotted her, they flocked to her side.Â
“Wendy, are you serious? Hillary was just taking a selfie, not a picture of you. Get real!”Â
