Chapter 2

Everyone fell silent, but immediately after, they burst into laughter.

“Are you crazy, Charlene? Have you forgotten who you are after being a sugar baby for two months?”

I pointed at myself in bewilderment.

“Me? A sugar baby?”

Prissy sized me up with a judgmental gaze.

“Why are you pretending otherwise? Everyone knows that you couldn’t get Jacob, so you became someone else’s mistress!”

My ears were ringing with anger.

“Stop insulting me! I was away for a competition!”

Prissy sneered and immediately pulled up my social media page.

“How would a poor student like you have money for a competition? Don’t you realize that you forgot to set your lovey-dovey posts private? If you don’t want this to blow up, get out of my house!”

I looked at the photo on her phone screen. It showed me and my father having a meal together while I passed through his city.

Prissy laughed when she saw my dumbfounded expression.

“Charlene, we have dirt on you. I want you to stay out of Jacob’s sight forever. If you understand what I’m saying, you should get lost now!”

I took a deep breath and slapped her.

“This is my house! You’re the ones who should be leaving! Not only are you leaving, but you’re also turning my house back to the way it was. Otherwise, I’ll sue you and make sure none of you can graduate!”

Prissy’s face turned sideways from the slap. She immediately widened her eyes in anger as she launched herself at me to hit me.

“How dare you, Charlene?! Everyone knows that Jacob gifted me this apartment! How dare you say that it’s yours?!”

She looked around after she spoke.

“Why are all of you just watching? Don’t you want to stay in a luxury apartment for only 200 dollars a month? If you don’t, you can move back to your dorms!”

The students trembled when she yelled at them, and they instantly started rebuking me.

“Charlene, Prissy is Jacob’s girlfriend now. His family’s rich and powerful. If you offend her, no one can save you!”

“Just apologize to Prissy. She’s rich, while you’re just a lowly mistress. I’m afraid that even your sugar daddy won’t help you out. How dare you hit her?”

They pushed me, and I fell onto the floor. My head landed sideways, and I could see the insides of the tiny rooms from this angle.

Every room had a small bed and table, but that was not what caught my eye.

What drew my attention were the old paintings that I had bought with a lot of money for my collection. They were being used to prop up the shaky tables!

My heart pounded against my chest, and I immediately stood up. Grabbing a broom next to me, I pointed it at the crowd and spoke fiercely. “I’m not letting this go! Those paintings are worth tens of millions of dollars! All of you will have to go to prison for this!”

Prissy rolled her eyes, as she was not afraid at all.

“You’ve really gone insane. I’ve told you many times that Jacob gifted me this apartment. Why don’t you understand?”

I glared at her and gritted my teeth. Then, I took out my cell phone and called Jacob on speaker.

“I’m calling him now. I’d like to see if he dares to admit to giving you this apartment!”
