Chapter 8

Penulis: Gardenia
"...What are you talking about?"

Ethan's face turned pale, and he immediately denied it, "I have no idea what you're talking about. Who's Maria? I don't know anyone by that name."

Our classmates looked just as confused, clearly having no idea who she was.

So, I spelled it out for them.

"Who's Maria? She's Ethan's mother. Currently, she works as the live-in housekeeper at my home."

Before I could finish, Ethan reacted with shock and fury. "My mother? A housekeeper? With my family's situation, why would she need to work as one? That's ridiculous."

Seeing him still pretending, I couldn't help but sneer, "Wasn't it your mother who brought you to my house back then, begging my mom to pull strings so you could transfer from your town high school to an elite one?"

Ethan froze, his face draining of all color. He hadn't expected that his mother really was my family's housekeeper, much less that the mysterious family's son he'd never met was me.

He panicked for a split second, then puff

    I turned around to find Claire standing there. Seeing my expression, her face flashed with embarrassment before she forced a smile."You… Can you take me with you? You know my family's situation, right? I definitely can't afford a ticket back. For old times' sake, please help me out. Otherwise, I really won't be able to get home."Her voice cracked as she spoke, tears welling up in her eyes.As if afraid I'd refuse, she quickly added, "Just economy class is fine. I just want to go home…"I raised an eyebrow and replied coldly, "Really? But Claire, we don't have any 'old times' to speak of. Whether you get home or not has nothing to do with me."I quickly shook off her hand and turned to leave.At that moment, Ethan called out to me and questioned, "Are you really going to be so heartless?"I didn't know where he got the nerve to sound so entitled. I turned back, caught between disbelief and bitter amusement. "What about it?"As expected, his expression darkened immediately. He

    Everyone hesitated at Ethan's words."Lucas is loaded? Didn't everyone say he was just faking it before?""Exactly. He only got to go abroad because you were footing the bill, Ethan.""If he's loaded, I'll eat my hat."Faced with their skepticism, Ethan tilted his chin toward the watch on my wrist."That watch he's wearing is a Rolex Submariner. That piece alone is worth millions, not to mention the bracelet and ring he usually wears. Everything's custom-made. He's definitely loaded. Getting us home would be pocket change for him. It turns out he's been pretending this whole time."He spoke without mincing his words. Hearing that, Sophia, who was standing nearby, turned to me with a laugh. She said, "You're in trouble now. They're going to latch onto you."I frowned, already feeling annoyed.Within moments, the group swarmed around me. One of them asked boldly, "Is what Ethan said true? Can you really get us home with just a snap of your fingers?"I looked at him and shook m

    "What's going on? The payment has failed several times now." "It was working fine before. How could it suddenly stop working?""Are we going to be stuck here?"A murmur of unease spread through my classmates as the payments failed. Some were suspicious, others were worried, and everyone was unsure what had happened."Let me try swiping it again." Ethan forced himself to swipe the card again, but it still wouldn't go through. He stood there, completely stunned, then his eyes suddenly snapped toward me.I met his eyes for only a moment before I turned back to my conversation with Sophia. She'd already picked up on what was happening and tugged at my sleeve. She said, "What's going on? It looks like their payment failed."I chuckled and quickly explained to her how Ethan had stolen my card to play the rich kid and that he was now getting his comeuppance.Sophia blinked in surprise, then grinned and settled in to watch the show.Meanwhile, Ethan was sweating bullets. Several faile

    I turned around and found myself looking at a strikingly beautiful face."...Sophia Sullivan?"She gave a soft smile, then casually glanced at the group nearby before turning back to me. "It's me. Long time no see. Mrs. Hart mentioned yesterday that you were on this cruise. What a coincidence."Her tone was gentle and polite, putting me completely at ease. I couldn't help but start chatting with her."It really is. It's been a few months since that last cocktail party. Even though we didn't run into each other during our trip here, sharing the return voyage is a nice surprise."We exchanged a few casual words. As we were about to board, I caught murmurs coming from behind us."How did Lucas manage to get to know a woman like that?""Seriously, she's stunning. She has a vibe that sets her apart from the rest.""Didn't he say they met at a cocktail party? Maybe she really is some wealthy socialite. Lucky bastard."Claire's and Ethan's reactions were the most obvious. The way Sop

    Seeing the words "break up" made my chest tighten with a weird, unplaceable feeling. I lowered my gaze and quickly typed out a brief reply."Fine. Let's break up, then."Claire clearly hadn't expected such a decisive answer. She instantly became flustered and angry. "What's gotten into you? We've been dating on and off for a year. Don't you have any feelings for me?"I stared at her disgruntled response, confused. Wasn't she the one who wanted to break up? Now, she was upset that I agreed. At this rate, she'd probably be unhappy no matter what I said. A sudden wave of exasperation with her hit me. I didn't respond and just blocked her, not wanting to listen to her endless complaints.Just then, my phone buzzed with a message from my mom. After sending her a quick reply, her call came through."Hey, Mom.""Lucas, your dad mentioned you're abroad right now. Are you about to board the cruise?"I listened absentmindedly while packing my luggage. Her warm, eager voice came thro
