Before Viola could respond, Simone cut in with a sneer, "How can you be sure she's really that young? With how advanced cosmetic surgery is nowadays, who knows if she's had work done?" Viola shot back, "You seem pretty familiar with that world. Looks like you've had your fair share of treatments. It's obvious—your face practically screams 'technology.'" Simone's natural looks were never great, and her current appearance was entirely thanks to the money she'd spent. Adrian, always eager for drama, burst out laughing. "Viola, you nailed it! Her face is definitely tech-heavy. It's nothing like your natural beauty!" Adrian's tone had a teasing edge to it, which made Viola frown. She immediately snapped, "Call me Ms. Abbott." Now she understood why Bryce had handed this group over to her.
