Chapter 301
DEWAL
Hailey froze as Ewan grabbed her arm. “What do you mean by that?
Ewan looked at Declan before turning back to Hailey. What’s your relationship with him?
Hailey laughed bitterly and yanked her arm free. “Ewan, we already called off the engagement. What right do you have to question me? Don’t forget, your girlfriend now is Melody!”
Melody had just caught up. Hailey was chasing after Declan, and Ewan was after her. This was the first time he had done something like this. Melody’s eyes filled with disbelief as she looked at Ewan, but he didn’t spare a glance at her.
His focus remained on Hailey while his expression was twisted with anger. “Don’t change the subject. I’m asking you about when you and Declan got together. Wore you cheating on me?“”
Cheating?
Ewan had flirted with Melody and tore her heart into pieces. That night, she had fled in despair, only to encounter a nightmare in the pouring rain. If not for Declan, she might not even be alive now.
“Ewan, I don’t owe you any explanation. And let me make this clear. I don’t like you anymore!” Hailey said icily.
“Then who do you like? Him?” Ewan’s eyes burned with fury as they landed on Declan.
Hailey wanted to say something, but Declan turned on his heel and started walking away “Declan, wait!” Hailey called out, wanting to follow him.
However, Ewan stepped in front of Declan, blocking his path. “Who said you could leave?”
Declan stopped. He had stayed silent the entire time, exuding a bearing of indifference as though the situation had nothing to do with him. Now, he raised his eyes, meeting Ewan’s glare with icy detachment. “Move!” Ewan said coldly
Ewan clenched his fist tightly. As the son of the Shaw family, nobody dared to talk to him like that.
He despised Declan.
Declan was nothing but a dark horse who had stolen the spotlight during the college entrance exams. While Ewan was at the top of his class, had a private team of top tutors, and was expected to be the district’s top scorer, Declan emerged as the surprise champion
He even heard that Declan had spent the day before the exam working on a construction site. How could someone from such a humble background outshine him?
“Declan, you think you’re so great? How about we settle this with a basketball match? Or are you too scared to face me?”
Ewan had challenged Declan to a basketball match. The students were losing their minds and began to chatter excitedly.
“Wow, the two biggest heartthrobs of Yorhinn University are about to have a showdown!”
“All because of Hailey? They’re going to fight over her!
“Don’t forget, today’s supposed to be about Melody!
“Honestly, though. Halley’s way prettier than Melody now that her birthmark is gone.
Melody hadn’t anticipated the situation spiraling like this. Ewan was challenging Declan over Hailey?
Her gaze drifted to Hailey’s delicate, heart–shaped face, her flawless skin glowing. Her nails dug into her palms as jealousy coursed through her.
How could the ugly duckling transform into someone so breathtaking?
She grabbed Ewan’s arm. “Ewan, stop it. Let’s go. I’m not feeling well.
Ewan shook her off without a glance. His eyes stayed locked on Declan: “What’s the matter, Declan? Afraid you’d lose?
Declan was confident in his basketball skills, certain he would crush Ewan in front of Halley. However, he didn’t even filnch. “I don’t have time for your games. Go play with someone else,” he said flatly and walled away.
Ewan stood there, stunned into silence. How could Declan ignore him just like that?
“Ewan, who do you think you are, demanding a match whenever you feel like it?” Halley snapped. “Declan, I’m sorry for dragging you into this, Please, wait for me!” she said and hurried after Declan.
Furlous, Ewan grabbed a basketball from the side and hurled it with all his strength at Declan’s back.
“Declan, look out!” Hailey shouted in alarm.
