Chapter 379

Author: Glazed Snow
Halsey rushed to Dwight's side, trying to stop the game. "Dwight, don't go along with Gilbert's game. This could hurt your body. If you really need money, I can—"

Dwight glanced at her, and Halsey immediately fell silent.

She hadn't meant to say that—it was just that she didn't want him to hurt himself for the sake of money.

Dwight looked at the foreman. "We can start now."

The foreman began loading cement bags onto Dwight's shoulders, one by one, quickly reaching eight bags. Then, the foreman added a ninth and a tenth bag.

Gilbert watched eagerly, clapping his hands. "Wow! I didn't expect you to push yourself so hard for money. Here's one, two..."

Gilbert tossed two hundred dollars onto the ground.

The foreman continued stacking bags—eleven, twelve.

"Three, four hundred..."

Gilbert kept tossing money onto the ground.

With twelve bags now on Dwight's shoulders, his face remained expressionless, but the sweat on his forehead dripped relentlessly, and his uniform was soaked thr

  • The Heartbreak Prescription   Chapter 1044

    "Halsey, when you put it that way, your fiancé really is a good guy!""Yeah, you and your fiancé are so in love.""If some girl barged into my boyfriend's shower and he threw something at her, I'd be thrilled."Everyone suddenly started admiring the relationship between Halsey and her fiancé.Sierra was stunned. It felt as if she had only managed to make Halsey and Shaun's love story look better. Somehow, she had set up Shaun as the perfect boyfriend."Halsey, come on. Don't keep us guessing. Who's your fiancé?""Yeah, we're dying to know!"Halsey smiled. "You'll find out one day.""Fine, we won't push you.""Let's go grab some food."A few girls pulled Halsey away, and the rest of the crowd quickly dispersed.Sierra stayed behind with Zada, digging her nails so hard into her palms that it hurt. This wasn't at all what she had pictured. She was fuming.She turned to Zada and asked, "Did I mess up again?"Zada comforted her. "No, you didn't do anything wrong. Forget it. L

    Every word out of Halsey's mouth hit like a hammer. Sierra's head was buzzing, and she forgot how to argue back. Maybe she couldn't argue at all.People who did shady stuff would always slip up. There were no exceptions.Halsey had caught the flaw in Sierra's plan and was now showing it off in front of everyone.Their classmates crowded closer. "Sierra, why aren't you saying anything? How did you even afford such an expensive nightgown?""Yeah. Halsey's not the only one who thinks it's suspicious. We all do.""At first, when you groveled and begged Halsey for forgiveness, we actually felt bad for you. But now, you're the one who looks guilty."Sierra stammered, "I-I didn't buy the nightgown. Someone gave it to me.""Who would give you such an expensive gift?"Sierra's eyes darted toward Zada. "You gave it to me. Don't you remember?"Zada froze for a second, then it clicked. "Wait… I think I do. Around your birthday a while back, I asked a friend overseas to bring back a dres

    The students around Halsey and Sierra started whispering."Halsey's fiancé was in the shower, and Sierra walked in on him?""Yeah… That's something anyone would misunderstand.""Wait a second! Sierra was just a guest. Why was she even in the master bedroom?""She knew Halsey had a fiancé. Doesn't she get boundaries at all?""And walking around late at night in a strappy nightgown? Really?"Sierra clenched her fists. She had been putting on this whole performance, but Halsey had flipped everything against her with just a few words.Tears rolled down again as Sierra pressed a hand to her forehead. "I was looking for you when I went into that room. Ow… My head hurts..."Zada immediately leaned toward her. "Is your head injury acting up again?"Sierra peeled back the bandage on her forehead, revealing a deep cut. "I think it's bleeding again."Everyone gasped when they saw it."That's a nasty wound!""Her fiancé really didn't hold back."Sierra shot Halsey another taunting gla

    "Oh my god!" Someone gasped and shouted, "Look over there!"Heads turned. All eyes locked on Sierra, groveling before Halsey."Why is she groveling?""Who even is she?""I think she's that new transfer student, Sierra. I heard her family's in rough shape. A few days ago, her gambling dad showed up here, making a scene. He was trying to sell her off to some old guy for money.""That's awful! Poor girl.""But why's she groveling? Let's go check it out."Students started gathering around.Halsey had no choice but to stop walking and turn back toward Sierra.Zada was stunned. She rushed forward and tried to pull Sierra up. "What are you doing? There are so many people here! Why embarrass yourself like this? Get up before everyone laughs at you!"But Sierra knew this was her chance. After failing to win Shaun over and ending up in the hospital, she wasn't about to let things slide. She wanted to stir things up and get some kind of advantage from Halsey.She pinched herself hard

    Shaun was in his CEO office, going through paperwork, when Halsey's message popped up. He replied instantly. [At work. What about you?][I'm at school. I need your help with something.][Go ahead.][Can you look into those guys who once tried to harass Zada?][Sure. I'll let you know when I find something.]That was all Halsey needed. Shaun was always decisive and fast. If he said he'd take care of it, she knew he would.Ding!Another message from Shaun appeared. [Is something bothering you?]Halsey's lips curved into a small smile. [Thanks for asking, but I'm fine.][Glad to hear that.]The heavy feeling in her chest lifted, replaced by warmth. Her mood brightened instantly. She pulled out her sketching pens and went back to working on her designs.Before long, it was lunchtime. Halsey got up and headed to the cafeteria.The moment she stepped in, she spotted two familiar figures—Zada and Sierra.Zada had told Sierra to take it easy and rest, yet here Sierra was, showin

    Halsey nodded and said casually, "That's good. Let Sierra rest and recover for a while."Halsey's nonchalant tone made Zada frown. Thinking back to what Sierra had told her only made her more upset. "Do you have some kind of misunderstanding about Sierra?"Halsey tilted her head. "Didn't she already tell you everything that happened last night?""Yeah, she did," Zada replied quickly. "She went to your room to find you, but you weren't there. That was when she happened to see your fiancé. It was just a coincidence. You don't really think Sierra was trying to seduce him, do you?""She knows better than anyone whether she tried or not," Halsey said flatly."How can you even think that? Sierra may not come from money, but she's got a great character. She even stepped in and saved me—hardly any girls would've had that kind of courage. Please don't misunderstand her!"Halsey shook her head. "It feels like Sierra has brainwashed you.""What's that supposed to mean?" Zada shot back. "Ho
