Olivia called him several times before he finally came to his senses, “What’s wrong?”
“It’s getting late, and everyone’s hungry.”
“What’s the rush? Not everyone’s here yet.”
“Who else is missing?”
“Yeah, who hasn’t arrived?”
“Simon hasn’t come yet.”
“Oh, I remember now. Lola, Lola hasn’t come either.”
“Will Lola come?”
“On Zack’s birthday, Lola wouldn’t miss this kind of occasion…”
Zack suddenly interrupted everyone’s words, “I didn’t invite her.”
“Even if she comes, I won’t let her in.”
“Zack, don’t be angry. It’s your birthday today!”
Olivia quickly tried to soothe him gently, “Don’t let an irrelevant person spoil the mood, right?”
“You’re right.”
Zack looked at his girlfriend beside him.
Olivia was truly very beautiful.
Lola was pretty too, but not in this kind of stunning, alluring way.
So at that time, he was attracted to Olivia at first sight.
♡ A
But after pursuing and winning her over, he found that she was nothing special after all.
For nearly a month now, Lola hadn’t been waiting for him at the bottom of the dorm
building.
She hadn’t been clinging to him to go to class together or to the cafeteria.
She had suddenly disappeared from his world.
Even when they occasionally ran into each other at school, she would turn away to avoid
him.
Zack had to admit, he was very uncomfortable with this.
Yes, he attributed all of this to habit.
He was just not used to someone who had been revolving around him every day suddenly turning cold.
He wouldn’t like Lola.
And he certainly wouldn’t anger his elders for the sake of this fake heiress.
But after all, they had known each other for many years.
Zack thought, just for tonight.
If Lola couldn’t resist and came back to find him.
He wouldn’t even need her to humble herself and beg.
As long as she shed a few tears with red eyes.
He would always leave a place for her by his side.
The door of the private room was suddenly pushed open.
“Guess who I just saw?”

The guy who came in had a gossipy look on his face, but his gaze fell on Zack’s face.
“Who is it? Stop keeping us in suspense.”
“Yeah, who is it? It can’t be Lola, right?”
“It really is Lola.”
“Zack, we told you, Lola can’t stay away from you.”
“Look, she couldn’t resist tonight, could she?
Zack didn’t say anything, but the gloomy expression on his face had obviously faded by
half.
Olivia’s expression changed, however. She lightly tugged on Zack’s sleeve.
Looking a bit aggrieved, she said in a small voice,
“Zack, can you ask Lola to leave?”
“She’s been chasing after you for so long, I feel really uncomfortable about it.”
“Sure, then let her get lost.”
Zack pinched Olivia’s face, responding carelessly.
“Who are you telling to get lost?”
The half–closed door was pushed open, and Simon strode in.
His voice wasn’t loud, but it was as weighty as metal striking the ground.
With an indescribable pressure.
The large room suddenly fell silent.
Because everyone saw that there was a girl following behind Simon.
And that girl was me

Zack sat without moving.
But the wine glass he was playing with in his hand.
Suddenly shattered in his grip.
Olivia screamed in fright, “Blood, Zack, you’re bleeding…”
“Get out.”
“Zack?”
♡ A
“I said get out, can’t you understand?”
Zack suddenly stood up and violently smashed the shattered wine glass on the ground.
Olivia was stunned for a good while before bursting into tears and running out.
The others in the room also sensibly left one after another.
Zack’s hand hung at his side, blood dripping onto the ground drop by drop.
But he seemed completely unaware of the pain, just staring intently at Simon.
After a while, he finally raised his hand and pointed at me.
“Simon, care to explain this to me?”
The fingers hidden under his sleeve were gripped even tighter by Simon.
His fingers were dry and strong, giving an indescribable sense of security.
“Explain what?”
“Why is Lola here with you?”
“You invited me to bring my girlfriend to your birthday party, remember?”
Simon held my hand and pulled me to his side, putting his arm around me.
10:26 Thu, Nov 14 B
He picked up the cups and plates in front of him with his bleeding hand and smashed them violently on the ground.
“Simon, do you fucking know that Lola is mine?”
“Yours in what way? Girlfriend or fiancée?”
Simon didn’t back down an inch, “Or are you saying that just because a girl liked you, she’s become your private property with your label on her?”
Zack’s eyes were bloodshot, a sea of red.
“You knew damn well that Lola liked me, and you still fucking stole her from me?”
“Zack, he didn’t steal me.”
I squeezed Simon’s hand and looked at Zack,
“I made the first move.”
“Also, I don’t like you. I should say, I stopped liking you a long time ago.”
I looked at him and suddenly realized that I had long since let go.
After all, any girl with a bit of self–respect wouldn’t like someone who never respected
her one bit.
Nor would she like someone cold–hearted and callous, who treated her as if she could be
summoned or dismissed at will.
Perhaps in those years when we grew up together as childhood sweethearts, there were some hazy feelings.
But after my true identity was revealed and his attitude changed drastically.
Those feelings had actually long since turned to ashes.
“Lola, what are you saying?”

Q A
“Lola, what are you saying?”
Zack seemed to have heard the biggest joke ever.
“You fucking almost jumped into the river for me, and now you’re saying you don’t like me?”
“I never thought about jumping into the river for you.”
“That night I went to the riverside, it was just to find an excuse for Simon to come pick me up.”
Zack was suddenly stunned.
After a while, he stared at me with bulging eyes, gritting his teeth as he spoke word by word.
“So, that night in the dorm, the person in Simon’s bed was you?”
“That’s right, it was me.”
“Zack, you go on with your relationship.”
“I told you that day, I will never cling to you again in the future.”
“I’ll never go back on those words.”
After saying this, I didn’t look at him again.
I pulled Simon and turned to leave, “Simon, let’s go home. I want to see what our new
home looks like.”
But Simon didn’t move.
He looked at Zack, his gaze calm yet sharp and pressuring.
“Zack, in the future, I don’t want to hear anyone criticize my girlfriend.”
At this point, Zack had completely lost it, speaking without thinking, “Simon, who the hell

♡ A Q
do you
think you are?”
Simon just smiled coldly, “If you’re not clear about who I am, why don’t you go home and ask your old man.”
Zack suddenly fell silent.
His gaze slowly moved from Simon’s face to mine.
His originally handsome face now had an indescribable grimace.
“Lola.”
“Simon probably doesn’t know yet that you’re not really the daughter of the White family,
does he?
“It’s not right to keep such a big secret from him, don’t you think?”
Although I had long been prepared for my background to be revealed to the world.
Being suddenly exposed by Zack like this still made me feel embarrassed and at a loss.
The hand held by Simon almost instantly became stiff and cold.
My palm was covered in a fine, cold sweat, layer after layer.
Seeing my face turn pale, Zack laughed, “Looks like you really were hiding it from him.”
“I thought so. If he knew about your true background, Simon would only avoid you like the plague. Even if you threw yourself at him, he wouldn’t touch you with a ten–foot pole…”
“Zack.”
Simon suddenly let go of my hand.
He expressionlessly rolled up his sleeves, one fold at a time.
Then he took off his watch and handed it to me.

“I used to think you were just a fickle playboy, not a good person, but not completely
despicable either.”
“But now I realize.”
Simon stepped forward and grabbed Zack’s collar, slamming him hard against the wall.
“You’re not only a despicable scumbag.”
