A scene appeared in his head.A girl wearing a loose basketball jersey stood in the middle of a basketball court. She had a ponytail and wore a headband.She was playing basketball. She dribbled the ball expertly, close to her teammates. Even though she was not very tall, she looked so cool when she moved past the other team with the ball in her hand.She made the shot and the ball entered the basket nicely. She jumped for joy and high-fived her teammates. The moment she turned her head, he could see the clear sweat being flung away from her face, shining like pearls under the sun.At that moment, this sporty girl was deeply imprinted into his heart.Too bad, he was just passing by. He was busy with schoolwork and did not have time to bother with things like this. When he finally makes it in his career and his family starts urging him to get married, he would compare all women to this girlHe thought the girl would only be a beautiful illusion that he kept in his heart. Unexpecte
Lindy thought about it and replied with a grin, “Right. You’re so considerate.”“Of course.” Marcus was happy that Lindy was praising him.The two were eating when they heard a commotion.Lindy craned her neck to see what was going on and she was amused. Jessie had started an argument with someone again and that person seemed to be one of the women from the restroom just now.“Let’s go have a look.” Lindy had a nosey look on her face.Marcus was not interested in drama. He was about to tell her not to go when he looked down and saw her holding his hand.His face turned red immediately and he stood up to walk over with her.Ray had no idea where the two were going. When he saw them going over to join in the drama, he showed a look of disbelief.He looked at his eldest son and asked, “When did that kid become such a busybody?”Bill was surprised too. Then, he laughed. “Perhaps he met someone interesting.”Ray glared at Bill. “Are we calling busybodies interesting now? I think t
“She’s framing me! Shouldn’t I uphold justice for myself?” Jessie barked.Marcus wanted to continue talking but Lindy pushed him away.“You don’t have to, I’ll help you…”Before Marcus could finish his sentence, Lindy interrupted him softly, “Thank you, but this is my business. I can take care of it myself.”Marcus’ heart skipped a beat when he saw the confidence and firmness on her face.She was still the same. She was still the high-spirited girl on the basketball court.Lindy grabbed the microphone on the table and said, “Firstly, I didn’t post that. Secondly, even though I didn’t post it, it’s true.”Her voice resonated throughout the hall.Now, even the people at a distance could hear what Lindy said. The guests were all in an uproar.The Cole family was just nobodies among the upper class in Harbor City. Jessie’s top scholar persona only influenced a small area, but today, she held Micah’s hand to attend Will’s birthday party proudly with the air of the Third Young Miss
Sonnet smiled slightly. "I have evidence." As she spoke, she took out a piece of paper from her bag.Lindy took the paper in Sonnet's hand, looked at it, and raised it up for the people around to see. "Everyone, look! This is the exam admission slip. This is the evidence that Sonnet took the exam, not Jessie."Jessie rushed forth and snatched the exam admission slip from Lindy's hand. "You must have forged it!""Whether it's a forgery or not, you can check it to find out yourselves. The venue for the exam back then was printed all on the admission slip. I think this will be verified with this!""Then are you a fool to go in my place?!""I'm not a fool, but I had no choice. Back then, my father was paralyzed in bed and our house collapsed due to a heavy rain. I really didn't have the money to repair the house. In addition, my biological mother kept begging me, so I helped you." Sonnet said, her eyes slightly red.The guests started talking,"This girl is really kind. She never
That puppy-eyed pleading expression, how pitiful.If Maxwell saw this, his jaw would probably drop in shock!Mr. Pine, who had always been calm and stoic, could still pretend to be pitiful!Lindy did not push back and flashed a hearty smile. "Okay, since I promised you, of course, I have to do it, right? Tell me, what else should I do?""You don't need to do anything, just have dinner with us.""How is that difficult?" Lindy said and pulled him back.After they sat down, Lindy felt Ray Pine’s particularly cold gaze upon her. "Do you know the Second Young Miss of the Brooks?""Yes, we are childhood friends," Lindy said without hesitation."So, she asked you to make trouble with Jessie tonight?""Of course not! She won't let her best friend do such a thing. I just couldn’t stand Jessie's arrogance anymore! I don't know how much Jessie has benefited from Sonnet but Sonnet was never calculative. But Jessie is envious and always makes things difficult for her, it's too much!" Lindy
After a while, she smiled and said, "Okay."The weight on Marcus' heart suddenly dropped.Then, Lindy's phone rang. When she saw the caller ID, her eyes lit up."Lucas! You're back?" She answered the phone, her voice full of joy.Something was said over the line and she immediately replied. “Oh, sure, then I’ll go now!”Marcus' heart sank.Lindy hung up and smiled apologetically at Marcus. "I'm sorry, my friend came back from abroad, and I want to get together with him, shall we make an appointment next time?"Marcus suppressed the disappointment in his heart and said to her, "It's okay, let me take you there?""Erm…that’s not too nice...""It's okay. I have nothing to do anyway. I'm just driving. It's not easy to take a taxi at this time."Lindy smiled brightly, "Oh, then thank you!"Marcus finally felt a little relieved.Lindy got into the car, Marcus asked where she was headed, and started the car.The place was very far away, a hotel in the suburban film city."Why is
He cheered up and started the car, ready to leave.At this moment, he saw Lindy coming out of the hotel with a man.The man wore a sports jacket with jeans, and his long legs made him look extraordinarily slender. Coupled with his slightly styled hair, he looked like a college student in his early twenties, youthful and energetic.Marcus looked down at his suit and suddenly felt like an old man!When they left the hotel and turned around, Marcus saw the man's face.Slim and handsome, with deep eyebrows and eyes, the pretty boy type!Marcus turned to look at Lindy again. She was talking to the man, her whole attention seemingly on him, and she did not even notice that his car had not left yet.Marcus felt an ache in his heart, lowered his head, and started the car.Since he was a child, he has been a top student and capable of anything. Even in front of Maxwell, he never felt that he was inferior to him.But today, he actually felt like he was defeated!Not only in temperament
"Then I'll call Sonnet over tomorrow so that the three of us can get together?" Lindy asked tentatively.Lucas shook his head. "Forget it. I have to be on standby for filming all day these days, so I’ll probably be busy.""Then shall I accompany you?""No need, don't you need to be on-site yourself? You should just go about your business."Lindy's eyes dimmed, but she did not say much.The two ate in silence, and Lucas stood up. "It's getting late, shall I call a taxi for you?""No, you go back, rest, and take care of yourself. I'll just book a taxi." Lindy waved her hands and stood up."It's a bit late, and it's remote here, a girl being alone—""Am I an ordinary girl? I usually go on-site and I've always been alone when I'm on a stakeout, so don't worry about me!" Lindy said casually.Lucas chuckled. "Well yes, you are very good."The two left the restaurant and parted ways. Lindy walked a few steps and turned around, watching Lucas' back disappear from sight. She felt warm
