"Slanders someone and doesn't even apologize. That's just poor character, honestly.""No wonder her boyfriend dumped her in front of everyone. What kind of woman throws a fit constantly with a boyfriend that good-looking, and still expects him to love her the same no matter what? I bet she's watched one too many short dramas.""Film it, film it, post it online! Let this drama queen go viral worldwide."By this point, everyone's attention had shifted entirely to Kelly and Carter.A number of people, hungry for more gossip, even trailed after Kelly to keep watching the drama unfold.The crowd quickly dispersed.After the scene Kelly had made, Sharon had lost her taste for the hot springs too.She glanced up at Thomas.Thomas seemed completely unbothered by what had just happened, soaking in the water with his eyes closed, perfectly at ease....Kelly and Carter never came back.By the time Sharon and Thomas finished up and left the springs, the sky outside had gone completely

The night before, Kelly's face had inexplicably broken out in a rash.She had gone to the hospital, and the doctor diagnosed it as rubella — she wouldn't be able to leave the room for a full week.Kelly had hoped to use this trip to repair things with Carter."Repair" being a generous way of putting it — what she'd actually intended was to sleep with him, to seal the deal so Carter would have to take responsibility for her.But no sooner had they arrived in Neldene than Julliard's situation blew up before they even had a chance to enjoy the trip.By the time they'd finally dealt with that mess, they'd run into Sharon.Kelly had planned to get intimate with Carter after they finished soaking in the hot springs last night.But she hadn't counted on running into Sharon and Thomas at the springs.Kelly had been terrified Carter would be drawn to Sharon if he saw her, and that fear was exactly what had driven her to smear Sharon so viciously.In the end, she hadn't managed to ruin

The needle on the dashboard shot upward in an instant.Wendy screamed her lungs out.They were going to end up in the river!Just as the front of the car was about to slam into the guardrail, Thomas yanked hard on the handbrake, spinning the wheel toward the center of the turn.The tires shrieked against the road as the car slid sideways through the turn at an almost impossible angle.The cars behind them clearly hadn't expected him to take the corner like that. They braked hard, but it was already too late.The lead car slammed straight into the guardrail, thick smoke billowing up.Sharon, thrown against the door by the momentum, could only watch through the window as the cars chasing them fell away behind them.Thomas didn't slow down, quickly merging onto the off-ramp ahead and blending into traffic.He picked out one of the busiest main roads, easing the speed back down to normal, and soon the car melted into the night.Wendy finally released her death grip on the handle

The Kalen family's reach didn't extend this far.After looking into Sharon, Nate discovered her friend Wendy was currently in Amstern City.So while Wendy was busy picking them up from the airport, they'd planted a tracker in her car, hoping it would help them track down Sharon and Wendy's whereabouts more effectively.Except the tracker hadn't just been found — it had ended up tied to a dog.An absolute disgrace!He'd talked such a big game to Kelly, yet ended up making a fool of himself instead.If word of this ever got out, he'd be a laughingstock.No — there was no way he could just let this go....On the plane, Wendy couldn't help but give Thomas a thumbs-up.She laughed under her breath. "Thomas, your head really does work fast… once those people find out the tracker ended up on a stray dog, they're going to be absolutely furious, right?"The sudden ambush had left them so rattled that Wendy hadn't even had time to pack — she'd just booked the earliest flight availabl

As he spoke, Julliard couldn't help clenching his fists.If Carter hadn't been in Neldene, there was no telling how much longer it would have taken him to escape that place.Hearing Carter's name, Sharon froze for a moment.She was about to ask more when the door to the room opened.Carter walked in, just back from speaking with the doctor.Seeing Sharon, he faltered too, clearly not expecting to run into her here. He said, almost without thinking, "You... what are you doing here?"Sharon had already heard the gossip about Carter and Kelly from Wendy.Seeing him now didn't come as much of a surprise."I'm here to see Julliard," she said.Julliard looked between the two of them. "Sharon, Carter... you two know each other?"Sharon didn't think especially highly of Carter. She said flatly, "I ran into Carter and his girlfriend in Neldene."Carter looked at her as if he wanted to say something, but with Julliard right there, he held his tongue.With his arrival, the atmosphere
