Soon, people started drifting over to where Harry was sitting. He hated such situations the most, especially classmates whose intentions couldn't be more obvious."Harry, we were classmates for three whole years. Don't forget us once you make it big!""Exactly! Once you inherit your family's company, we could work for you!""Which college are you attending overseas? I've been thinking of asking my parents to send me abroad too. If we end up at the same place, we could keep each other company!""Harry, you're still single, right? I have a twin sister who is graduating this year too. Do you want me to introduce you?""Why are you sitting so far away? Come and sit in the middle!""Harry, I let you copy my homework for three years during high school. That's a life-and-death kind of friendship. You can't forget about it."Harry felt his scalp go numb. His eyes darted around desperately in search of his best friend, Brody. But his friend only shrugged helplessly, hinting that he could
"Let go of me! You're hurting me. Sam, we have nothing to do with each other anymore. Can't you at least show some dignity? It hurts!"Giselle had always had sharp hearing. Now that she was standing by the stairs, every single word came through loud and clear. It piqued her interest. This was a juicy scoop about Sam.The woman's voice was sweet and crisp. It was instantly recognizable. It was none other than Kelly Manning, the celebrity who had already sparked rumors with one glance when the dating reality show had just started. As expected, netizens had sharp eyes. Giselle's observation of details was also accurate. What she overheard now basically nailed the truth to the wall. Instead of exposing them, though, she turned and slipped away quietly.Outside, Harry noticed that Giselle was visibly in a good mood. He couldn't help but ask suspiciously, "Giselle, why are you smiling so happily?"Happy? Giselle raised an eyebrow and asked, "Aren't I always like this?"She felt the
Inside the suitcase were trinkets that Giselle had once given Jonathan. They were never displayed in the condominium. God knows where he had dug them up.Standing nearby, Charlotte hesitated for a long while before asking, "Mr. Lawson, do I need to go back with you too?"If she had the choice, she would rather stay here on her own a little longer. Who knew what mess awaited her back in Serica? Especially since running into Giselle was inevitable.The very thought of Giselle made rage burn inside Charlotte's chest. It almost consumed her reason, but Jonathan forced her to rein it back in.After spending time abroad with him, she had grown afraid of him. Who would have thought that his temper could be so violent when he was a teenager? He was completely unreasonable.Still, there was one thing to be grateful for. Jonathan was generous with money. Thanks to selling off the expensive things he gave Charlotte, she had paid off most of her family's debt.Only half remained, and that wo
"Gigi, Jonathan is coming back," said Jean.It had been several months since Jonathan was sent abroad to lie low. During that time, Jean kept a close eye on his every move.Thankfully, his temperament had calmed. He was no longer as restless as when he had first lost his memory. Watching him gradually settle down gave her a chance to rediscover him in a new light.Because Richard had stepped in back then, Jonathan hadn't gone down the wrong path. Otherwise, with the way he had been, would there have been a way to set him straight?Vivian, on the other hand, was a constant source of worry. When she had first returned home, the way she dressed screamed delinquent. After Jean's strict guidance, she had finally straightened up a little. However, it would take a long time for her character to truly change.Lately, Jean noticed that Vivian's whereabouts had become rather suspicious. When she asked, Vivian wouldn't say a word.To avoid triggering a rebellious streak, Jean chose not to p
The one who answered the phone was Hector. They exchanged a few words before Chester expressed his motive. He wanted to know if his touch starvation could ever be cured. Sadly, Hector wasn't specialized in this field. He answered vaguely, "Maybe once you're with Ms. Stone, it'll just go away?"It was a blatant lie. Even if Hector had said there was a 50 percent chance of recovery, Chester wouldn't have felt this agitated. However, after Jonathan's call earlier, his emotions had been stirred.Hector thought for a moment before asking cautiously, "Chester, why are you suddenly asking me this? Did Ms. Stone find out?"Hector and Chester had known each other for years, and their friendship went deeper than most in their circle. Hector knew every detail of Chester's situation, including how Chester had been hiding his condition, terrified that Giselle might look at him differently.Chester's question today was unusual. Could Giselle have heard something?Chester stood before the floo
As if Jonathan wasn't a love rival, Chester said, "I see."The indifferent tone made Jonathan frown in displeasure. He was enraged. This wasn't what he expected. How could Chester remain so calm?Grinding his teeth, he spat, "Do you really think that once Gigi finds out you have a mental illness, she'll still choose you without hesitation? Chester, no one would ever like a psycho. If you had any self-awareness, you'd step aside on your own instead of waiting for Gigi to abandon you."Every word was testing Chester's limits. He started the engine. He had to admit that a wave of emotion surged within him at the mention of Giselle, but he refused to let it show. Giving Jonathan that satisfaction would only embolden him to go even further.The silence on both ends grew suffocating. Finally, Chester snorted and said indifferently, "So what if I'm a psycho? At least, I've kept myself clean. I don't fool around. Can you say the same?"Jonathan's smug expression stiffened. His grip on t
