C31- Something Doesn’t Seem Right

Everyone was startled by this person who seemed to have emerged from nowhere. She looked familiar, but no one was sure.

“Sandara, you are here!” Sunny was the first to recognize her. She walked over to Sandara Park and pulled her close affectionately, “This is Sandara Park , you guys don’t remember her?”

“Sandara Park? The girl who looked innocent in high school, but had a terrible reputation?”

Back in those days, people knew Sandara Park, not because she was the daughter of Park Sungwoo or because of her looks. People knew her because she would always make Park Hanbyul, who was the beauty queen of the school, cry. Sandara had a crappy personality too and didn’t get along with other kids. Almost the whole school ostracized her.

Watching the surprised faces of her old teachers and classmates, Sandara Park felt slightly annoyed. “Was this necessary?”

In fact, Sandara Park knew why they were surprised. She pretty much disappeared right after high school and lost contact with all of them. Even when she was still in school, everyone knew she was having constant fights with her father. Compared to Park Hanbyul, who was well loved by the family and was always generous towards classmates and teachers, Sandara Park was the less favored daughter who had no money.

As a result, Park Hanbyul enjoyed top popularity at school while Sandara Park was dumb enough to be taken advantage of and set up by Park Hanbyul Yuqing to be the bad guy in many incidents.

“She is Sandara Park?”

“Well, she does look like her, but at the same time, not like her…”

“What did she just say? She paid for everyone at the party today?”

“Yeah, that’s what she said!”

“Where did she get the money? I remember that she was broke when we were in school…”

“Don’t be stupid. She is still the daughter of the Park Family! She must have made up with her father over the years. She is his blood after all.”

“I guess… Did you guys see the stuff on Kakaotalk?”

“You mean that Park Hanbyul got kicked out of the family to live in a hotel, and then caught kneeling in front of Sandara Park?”

“That’s right. At first everyone was blaming Sandara  for being a bully, but then she played the video where Park Hanbyul and her mother were plotting against her.”

“Definitely. I knew Park Hanbyul was not that simple back when we were in school. I bet Sandara Park  was also tricked back then by Hanbyul , and ended up ousted by everyone…”

People started to chime in with the gossip, but Sandara Park ignored them all and sat down next to Sunny. In the meantime, Park Hanbyul had an unpleasant expression on her face. She was obviously affected by the fact many people witnessed the incident where she tried to set up Sandara Park, even though Park Sungwoo didn’t find out and seemed to side with her in the end.

She felt that those classmates who were fawning over her before had started to look at her weird. “As a step-daughter who got kicked out of the Park Family, how are you still so arrogant?”

Park Hanbyul face twitched and she wanted to leave the party right at that moment, but she remembered the plan she was about to carry out. For that, she forced herself to swallow her pride.

 
Park Hanbyllul brightened up and walked over toward Sandara Park submissively. “Sister, you are here! Why didn’t you t
