Chapter 66
“Lana really knows how to work her angles, huh? It didn’t take long for her to cozy up with Rhett. Wyart, everyone knew she used to have athing for you. She was totally into you,” said Trevor
Ethan looked indignant on Wyatt’s behalf. “And you always had her back. How quick she is to jump from one to another! Honestly, I never thought she’d tum into
“Do you know what you’re talking about?” Jade stepped forward from behind the group, blocking Ethan’s path.
She continued. “Luna had never liked Wyatt before. Even if she did, so what? She and Rhett are on the came team now. Having a meal together and chatting is completely normal, since when does that tum into Lama seducing Rhett in your eyes?
Ethan’s face twisted with defiance. “She never used to dress like that, smiling at everyone. If that’s not seducing, then what is? Honestly, I think she’s just shameless.”
jade raised her hand and slapped Ethan across the face.
“Your words are nothing but disrespectful. After all Luna has done for you, standing up for you all, is this how you repay her?
“Bitch! How dare you hit me?” Ethan snapped, raising his hand to strike back
But Wyatt grabbed his arm. He glared at Jade icily. “That’s enough! So it was you, huh? Did you really think pulling a stunt like this would make me remember you? “Well, dream on! I would never go for someone like you–pretty on the outside, but nothing underneath.”
“Ethan, let’s go.”
“You Jade’s lips trembled with anger.
“Jade, don’t waste your energy on people like him. He’s not v
worth it.” Luna hugged her from behind.
Wyatt’s eyes darkened even more when he saw Luna. He didn’t say a word. He just turned, ready to walk away.
“Apologize.” Rhett said, arms crossed as he stepped in front of Wyatt, blocking his path
Wyatt always wore white and had a friendly smile, making him seem approachable. In contrast, Rhett usually dressed in black sportswear and rarely smiled, giving him a serious and determined demeanor.
The two campus heartthrobs, contrasting in style and demeanor, exchanged silent glances in the crowded cafeteria.
Wyatt frowned. “I suggest you stay out of this. She won’t get you anywhere, and she’ll never help you beat me.
Rhett sneered. “I never rely on anyone. Only the weak think like that.”
“You” Trevor stepped forward, but Suzie gazed at him indifferently.
She asked, “What? You want to stand up for him? Looking for a fight?
It was well known around campus that Erin and Wilson didn’t get along, and their students weren’t exactly friendly toward each other, either. But the two sides had always kept their distance, mostly because they were in different professions and rarely found themselves in the same spaces.
For years, it had been a silent, uneasy peace. However, this was the first time they’d gone head–to–head like this..
The onlookers sensed the tension and silently wondered if a fight would break out.
Luna stepped in front of Rhett and Suzie, blocking Wyatt’s view. She turned her cold stare directly at Wyatt. “Wyatt, maybe there were some misunderstandings between us in the past. Since there are so many people here today, I think it’s time I explain
“When we were on the same team, I did a lot of things for you, like getting you a glass of water, wiphig down a table, or organizing some documents. But all of that came from the fact that, during my first year of university, you helped me out as a welcoming senior.
“Later, you also recommended me for Professor Hanley’s team selection exam. Out of gratitude, I respected you.
for someone who doesn’t meet me as an equal”
“But that respect and obedience were never about liking you. I know my place, and I would never fall to Her tone was detached, without a hint of emotion. Wyatt didn’t care if Luna liked him, but when their eyes met, ber cold gaze made his heart ache.
At first, the feeling was subtle, but as she spoke longer, it grew into a strong ache that made him feel unsteady, as if he might lose his balance in front of everyone.
