Riches and Bitches: I have a gate to an isekai and leveling-up system!

"Who the hell is she?!" Cassie screamed out from the bottom of her lungs, ignoring how she was smack dab in the middle of the city's street.

She cared not for the looks the passersby gave her. She cared not for how she did something she always hated, causing a drama out in the open of a public space.

She cared not for any of those points, focused on the simple and straightforward task of somehow cramming all the emotions bursting in her soul into this single shout.

Hearing her scream and startled by her sudden appearance, Peter shot his left hand to the side, as if in a bid to push his companion to the back from the possible threat.

That alone was enough to create a whole, new hole in Cassie's heart. And when he shook his head and rid his mind and face of the surprise…

He simply raised his eyebrows.

When it was for that unknown beauty, he instantly rushed to put her out of the potential harm's way while stepping forward, ready to take the brunt of the danger himself.

Yet, when it came to Cassie, he only bothered to raise his eyebrows.

Cassie froze.

And then, Peter allowed one more change to his face, revealing an amused look as he looked right back into her face with a mix of equal amount of bewilderment and repulsion.

'Ugh…' Cassie felt her heart painfully twitch.

She already knew he wasn't going to treat her with the same kindness he always showered her with. She knew there was no point hoping for this kind of reaction, not after their last phone call.

But at the same time, this was the first time Cassie faced Peter since their thing fell apart. And to see his formerly kind eyes look down on her as if she was some sort of filthy worm slithering around to the disgust of everyone around…

Cassie simply lost her breath, her heart in too much pain for even a single further word to form in her mind or to escape her mouth.

"She is my girlfriend," Peter calmly replied while squinting his eyes a tiny little bit. He then removed his hand from this beautiful girl's stomach, reaching out… Only to have that damned, thieving whore instantly catch up on his intent and sneak her fingers between his, holding his hand back as soon as he realized there was no real threat around.

"A real and a faithful one," Peter added as his face filled with…

With what, exactly?

'Why are you looking at me like that?' Cassie internally cried out, unable to bear the hostile look in the eyes of someone whom she only ever saw smiling when interacting with her or serious whenever he tried his best to achieve something.

But now, not even a hint of those two expressions was left on his face, replaced with just the emotions Cassie already figured out he would feel towards her.

'So this is how much I've hurt him…' Shocked by her on-the-spot realization, Cassie took a step back. Her pupils widened, tears already starting to gather in the corners of her eyes. Her hands trembled, forcing her to clench them into fists.

"Hon, who is she…?" paying little to no mind to Cassie, Peter's companion turned her beautiful face towards him, looking at him without even a single hint of reservation or suspicion. яҽ@а!ԁ?-&Ғ+ιг∫т*-*ө-ո-

'I wouldn't react like that in a situation like this,' Cassie instantly realized. She didn't even need to imagine herself being in the fancy, elegant shoes of this white-haired beauty to know her reaction would be far more hostile, far closer… to how she was acting right now anyway.

"Don't mind her too much. She's that cheating…"

Peter's face suddenly froze and turned serious… far more serious than Cassie ever had the chance to see.

In a single instant, she felt vanishing from his line of sight, as if she suddenly turned into just another obstacle for his eyes as he looked around with a tense look in his deep, brown eyes.

Peter's nose twitched as he carefully sniffed the air, only for the look in his eyes to intensify even further as he now threw his head in all directions.

Startled, Cassie looked around as well, puzzled and somewhat pressured to look for what her former boyfriend was in such a desperate search of.

"Is it just me, or…" Peter muttered, no longer even capable of seeing Cassie. And his question was directed at the equally as serious-looking girl.

The ephemeral beauty that this white-haired girl was oozing out of every inch of her body was now gone, replaced by a sharp sense of wilderness, one Cassie only ever felt when faced with an excited guard dog when it chased away some vandal who attempted to cover her aunt's house wall with some graffiti.

"It's not just you," the girl spoke in the same, charming, soothing voice that Cassie already heard her use… Only this time, it carried a whole, different vibe. "It's the same smell as back at your former place," she added, already swinging her head around, equally as pressed to find whatever caught the attention of the two as Cassie saw Peter be.

'Wait,' Cassie's mind suddenly went blank when all her thoughts about what actually was going on vanished, replaced by the simple and extremely painful realization.

'His former place? So he moved? Where to?'

And when Cassie's initial reaction to the sudden information went through, her thoughts filtered through her emotions, turning darker.

'Doesn't that mean she actually was at his former place? EVEN THOUGH HE NEVER INVITED ME OVER?!'

The guilt, the regret, the sadness that clouded Cassie's mind all merged together, into the one, ultimate form. And with the sea of her soul now calming down as it filled with just one type of feeling, Cassie finally managed to pinpoint and name it.

'Am I… simply being jealous?'

Cassie's hands trembled again. Her heart ached. And as he raised her eyes to Peter and his new girlfriend, she could sadly confirm this to be the case.

Just seeing them two together was enough to make her feel like ripping her heart out.

Regardless of how jealous she was, though, how much she wished to change her foolish mistakes of the past, how much she desired to have Peter forgive her…

By now, as hurtful as it was, one thing was obvious.

Peter no longer had Cassie in his eyes.
