I rolled my eyes, thinking: “You always return items within seven days for no reason. Now the platform has restricted your account, so returns can’t get instant refunds. Serves you right!”
Then Eliza thought of me, gripping my hand tightly: “Sophie, you make good money writing scripts. Lend me some money. Once I become Edward’s woman the day after tomorrow, I’ll pay you back double. No, a hundred times over!”
In my previous life, Eliza constantly borrowed money from me— I even paid for her abortion procedure.
But when I asked her to pay me back, she said: “Sophie, you’re the one who told me to get the abortion, so of course you should pay for it. We’re best friends, yet you keep bringing up money— I’m so disappointed in you.”
With Eliza and Lily as witnesses, I became the person who was stingy with friends, and all our classmates looked down on me.
No matter how I explained, even showing evidence of Eliza’s borrowing, my classmates thought I was making excuses.
I had to work part–time jobs to support myself, eating only instant noodles and drinking water every day. As a result, I fainted during an important exam a month later and missed out on my dream company.
This time, Eliza wouldn’t get a single penny from me.

I put on a troubled expression: “Eliza, I actually want to borrow money from you. I still owe several thousand dollars to online lending platforms. I hope after you get together with Edward, you can help me pay it off.”
Eliza was stunned and said with dissatisfaction: “Sophie, even though we’re good friends, you can’t ask for my money just because I’m Edward’s future wife.”
Then she thought of something and said: “Since you’ve already borrowed money, why don’t you download a few more loan apps and get me some cash? I’ll pay you back once Edward gives me money. How about it?”
Her words were absolutely shameless–I’d never seen anyone so brazenly shameless.
But I still held back and said: “Sure. But Edward really cares about face. If he finds out you have a friend drowning in massive debt, don’t blame me for ruining your relationship.”
In my previous life, Eliza always fantasized about marrying a rich man, so she worked hard to maintain her innocent and kind persona.
Now she was just one step away from achieving her dream, so naturally she didn’t want any stains on her image.
I pretended to scroll through my phone: “Actually, borrowing tens of thousands would be enough to buy a dress.”

Eliza quickly snatched my phone away: “I was just joking with you! I’ll get the loan myself. If Edward can’t find out about my loan, I’ll use the money he gives me to pay it back. If he does find out, I’ll say I had no choice but to borrow for tuition–he’ll definitely understand.”
After that, Eliza took out loans on various apps. I took the opportunity to flatter her a bit and got her to pay back all the money she owed
