Gilbert couldn't believe what Halsey said, and his anger flared. "Halsey!"Halsey let out a cold laugh. "Are you mad? What's there to be mad about? It's normal for you to make out with Sienna because you're a couple. But since you keep harassing me, of course, I have to call you out!"They had broken up; they were supposed to go their separate ways, but Gilbert kept showing up. Now, he was gripping her wrist, still sporting the mark on his neck from Sienna's earlier. The physical contact made Halsey feel physically uncomfortable.She tried to pull away. "Can you let go?"Gilbert gritted his teeth. "No!"At that moment, Sienna got out of the sports car. She shot Halsey a venomous look. "What do you think you're doing? Gilbert is my boyfriend now, and here you are, clinging to him. You really have no shame!"Halsey was speechless. She turned to Sienna. "You should see an eye doctor. Look closely—who's really holding on to whom?"Halsey raised her hand.Only then did Sienna realiz

Halsey stood frozen in place. She had never seen this side of Dwight before.Gilbert laughed. "Halsey, do you see it now? Is this still the Dwight you thought you knew? Now he's in a casino, mixing with the wrong crowd. He's living in a completely different world from yours. He's not worthy of you."Halsey turned to Gilbert, finally understanding why he had brought her here. It seemed he already knew Dwight would be here."No matter what Dwight is like, it's not for you to judge. You don't have the right to say anything about him!"Gilbert raised an eyebrow. "Even now, you're defending him? Did he put some kind of spell on you?""That's none of your business! I don't want to stay here. I'm going home," Halsey said as she turned to leave.But Gilbert blocked her path. "He's right up ahead. Aren't you going to at least say hi to him?""There's no need. Move out of my way!"Halsey didn't understand why Dwight was here, but she could feel that he didn't want to see her here. So, sh

Halsey stood still, locking eyes with Dwight.Dwight froze, his body tensing.Rachel, following Dwight's gaze, spotted Halsey and asked, "Who is she?"Dwight didn't answer.Without saying a word, Halsey turned and walked away. She wanted to leave, feeling suffocated by the atmosphere around her. She didn't belong here.In her rush to leave, she collided with a middle-aged man.Halsey quickly apologized. "I'm so sorry!"The man grumbled, "Sorry doesn't fix anything. Damn it, I lost a lot of money today, and now I run into you—just my luck…"When the man saw Halsey's face, he stopped in his tracks. He was taken aback by her delicate, youthful appearance.He eyed her up and down. "I didn't expect you to be so young."Halsey, fresh from school, was dressed in a white sweater and a pleated skirt, with a white down jacket over it. Her long black hair was tied up in a high ponytail. The pure, schoolgirl vibe she radiated felt completely out of place in this setting, making her stand

Dwight was silent for a moment before gently pulling Halsey's hand away. He turned to face her, his eyes cold. "Are you trying to give me a handout out of pity?"Halsey shook her head, her voice trembling. "No, I'm not! That's not what I meant. I just believe in your abilities and talent, and I want to—"Dwight smirked, his lips curling mockingly. "You want to? Look at you, saying all these things. These are your ideas, your plans. You're trying to force them on me."Halsey shook her head, eyes wide. "I swear, I'm not—""Stop making excuses," he cut her off, his tone harsh. "You want to control me. But I get it. You're a rich girl, and you've never seen me as your equal. You want to take charge of my life."Halsey's pale eyes reddened, tears welling up as she stared at him, hurt. "I told you, I'm not doing that. Is this really how you see me?"All she had ever wanted was to care for him, to help him. She didn't want him stuck in a place like this when he could be on a bigger stag

Cyril held out some fever medicine to Halsey. "You should take them."Halsey lay weakly in bed, her voice soft. "I don't want to take them."Cyril gave her a questioning look. "What's wrong? Did Dwight reject you?"Halsey shot her father a glare. Of course he'd bring that up now, right when she was already feeling miserable.Cyril chuckled. "What did I tell you? You can't win over Dwight. Let it go. Forget about him."Halsey stayed silent, staring at the ceiling.Cyril continued, "There are plenty of great guys out there. I know so many talented young men. I'll introduce you to a few. They say the best way to get over a relationship is to dive into a new one, right?"Halsey hugged the blanket tighter, not responding.Cyril placed the medicine on the nightstand. "Take the meds. I'll leave you alone."With that, he walked out.Halsey sat up and swallowed the pills, then lay back down, closing her eyes. She figured she should listen to Cyril and forget Dwight.After all, he h
