Chapter 62
Samuel’s voice messages came through one after another. It was somewhat unexpected.
Thad spent thousands of dollars arranging a romantic drone show and carefully timed it to happen when everyone was present
At this point, Samuel and Leonardo were probably suspicious of each other, each wondering who had broken the rules and confessed to Yvette first. This was also why I hadn’t included any names during the drone show.
But instead of dealing with the crisis, Samuel loept questioning me. He was a little too late, though. After all, this was already my second night staying at Gideon’s place.
No matter what Sampel sent or how many times, I didn’t respond.
However, Yvette’s message immediately caught my attention. I was surprised she had reached out to me first this time.
In my past life, whenever she wanted to see me embarrass myself, she would have Samuel bring me over. Yvette had contacted me so few times that I could count them on one hand.
Her text read, “puliet, are you free now? Can we talk? I’m seriously at a loss!”
1 snickered after reading it. Of course, she was at a loss.
First, Yvette had no idea who had confessed to her. Second, she was worried it was Samuel. If it were him, it would complicate her plans of becoming Gideon’s wife. Still, I wrote back, “Yes, I’m free.”
Almost immediately, Yvette video–called me. I answered without hesitation and noticed that her expression was grim
Just as she was about to speak, she froze when she noticed the background.
“Jules, where are you?” she asked. “The headboard looks fancy.”
1 lowered my gaze, then replied, “I’m at a friend’s place.”
“Is that so? The decor style is familiar to my friend’s place. And the painting above you looks almost like the real thing‘
I was aware of the painting above my bed, but Yvette Insisted it was a teplica.
Even so, I answered, “Oh, really? Well, I’m blind. So, I can’t see it.”
“It’s clearly a fake. I low who bought the original painting ”
Taling about it made Yvette’s face brighten slightly, a rosy glow returning to her cheeks. She was probably thinking of the person shelled.
I knew she wouldn’t suspect me. To her, if she couldn’t win Gideonover, a blind woman like me didn’t stand a chance.
She assumed that Gideon and I would never cross paths, which was why she would never suspect I had spent two nights at his place.
as also obvious she hadn’t heard the rumors about Gideon having a girltebend. If she had, she wouldn’t be so calm.
At that moment, it hit me. Yvette knew Gideon had bought the real painting, but she’d never guess that the one she was looking at now was the real deal. “Is there something you need from me?” I asked.
It was only then that Yvette seemed to remember what had left her so unsettled. Her expression darkened again as she bit her lip.
“Someone confessed to me on campus yesterday. I’m not sure it Samnentioned it to you,” she muttered,
I paused for a motient before responding, “Samuel did say something about surprising you last night.”
The moment those words left my mouth, I saw Yvette’s face fall of course, Samuel hadn’t said anything about suprising her,
But judging by her reaction, it was clear she was aware of Samuel’s feelings for her. Still, she couldn’t acknowledge them. It she did and rejected him, she would cut off her last connection to the jackmanı family
After that, she wouldn’t have a hace to get closer to Gideon. So, she couldn’t risk.
“Jules, how about dirais Commerzwingla? My reall” Yvelle offered.
I imanediately Eucard her down, saying, “Sony, I’m busy with work.”
“Will you only agree to have dinner with me if Samuel asks you to?” the grumbled. “Jules, chasing after guys too much will just make them look down on you.
I wasn’t sure low she had twisted the conversation to make it sound like I was pursuing Samuel. Yet one thing was for sure–my refusal had put her in a bad mood.
When Yvette was upuri, she always found a way to make the person tesponsible pay. Bringing up the past was second nature to her.
Samzuri watzo longer try sore spot.
