Goodbye Ex, A Billionaire Is Obsessed With Me のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 71 - チャプター 80

When Hayes dropped me off at the entrance of the residential area, it suddenly started raining heavily.I unbuckled my seatbelt, got out of the car, and politely thanked him.Hayes replied casually, “No need.”His handsome face was expressionless, he just looked at the heavy rain outside the window. He took out an umbrella and handed it to me.“No need, I’ll run inside in a few steps. You keep the umbrella.” I subconsciously said. I thought to myself, what if he needed the umbrella? If I took it away, what would he use?But Hayes insisted on putting the umbrella in my hand. “Take it, I don’t need it.”“But…”“Aren’t you going to see Julian? Shane has already arranged the time. What if you get sick from the rain and it delays things? Time in the detention centre isn’t something we can just pick anytime.” Hayes said firmly. “Take it.”It would be impolite to refuse again, so I took the umbrella. “Thank you….”Hayes frowned slightly.I asked hesitantly, “What’s wrong?”Hayes called my

Hayes stepped forward, coldly staring at the second sister of the Vale family, who was so frightened that her voice trembled. “Try hitting me! My man is right here!”Hayes said coldly, “I’d be disgusted to hit you!”I saw a rare kind of fierceness on Hayes’s face, a cold and ruthless kind.The second sister of the Vale family was held down by the security guard and shut up reluctantly.Her husband, however, was a reckless man. He struggled to break free from the security guards and wanted to fight with Hayes.He was a country bumpkin, used to doing farm work all year round, so his body was strong. Even the security team couldn’t hold him down. The moment he rushed up, I shouted, “Hayes!”Hayes turned around nimbly and kicked my brother-in-law in the stomach with considerable force. The man fell to the ground, clutching his stomach and howling in pain.His wife cried and wailed, saying she would call the police and put Hayes in jail.Hayes sneered. “Call the police? I’ll help you.”A

When I woke up the next morning, a blank stretch of memory left me feeling disoriented.This had to be what they called a blackout.Hayes was still asleep next to me, his chest rising and falling in calm rhythm. I hesitated, then slipped quietly out of bed, washing my face as if the cool water could wash away the fuzzy fragments of last night. How did Hayes end up sleeping beside me? I couldn’t recall a single detail.I stepped out of the bathroom to find Genny already awake, perched on the bed, hair roughed, rubbing her eyes.“Eloise… I’ll never dare to drink with you again,” she murmured, her voice a mix of amusement and exasperation. “How… how is your alcohol tolerance so bad?”A jolt of panic ran through me. “W-what shameful thing did I do?”Genny waved her hand dismissively, her grin widening. “Nothing at all. You were… surprisingly well-behaved. No crying, no fussing. You just slept. But I couldn’t carry you at all. In the end… Hayes carried you back.”My heart stuttered. “What

Once Julian’s affair with Ivy was exposed, not only would he fail to graduate with his doctorate, but his application for postgraduate studies would also be re-examined. Even if he was admitted on merit, he would still be the subject of gossip.Ivy would also be expelled for abusing her position; a scandal that would disgrace Melbourne University, a century-old prestigious institution.No wonder, not long after Julian graduated, Ivy resigned, and no one knew where she went.I felt a deep sadness. I never imagined Julian could stoop so low. I couldn’t reconcile him with the sunny, cheerful boy I once knew. They were completely different people and utterly unrelated.I sneered. “Did you confess these things to the police?”“I confessed but so what?” Julian’s eyes flashed arrogantly. “My guilt was already established, wasn’t it? There’s no point in saying more.”I clenched my fists under the table, keeping my voice calm. “I don’t need to do anything to you. Your crimes will be judged by

He looked down, shaking his head. "When the teacher came chasing after us to demand tuition, the whole village surrounded our house. Eloise… do you know what I was thinking then? I thought… it’s better not to go to school."He lifted his eyes, voice cracking. "When I told my mother this, she slapped me. She said even if she had to sell her blood, she would send me to school. She cried, she scolded me… 'You must remember this well today,' she said. 'I want you to make something of yourself in the future and trample all those who bullied us under your feet! You have to make me proud, you know?'"Julian’s shoulders shook. "Later… when I was in middle school, even though it was nine years of compulsory education, textbooks were still required. The school knew my family was poor, so they applied for free textbooks for me. But do you know what? Eloise… the textbooks of poor students all had a red stamp with the words 'Free Textbook' written on them."He wiped at his tears, his voice trembl
