“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
Marcus took it without a word.Although he knew that this was the best time for a hero to save the beauty, but Lindy's firm gaze convinced him that he should watch quietly first.The motorcycle man looked Lindy up and down. Her slender neck and slender legs reflected every inch of womanly beauty.He could not help whistling. "Baby girl has a smashing bod, I like it! You said it, if you lose, I can do whatever I want, then I will show no mercy!""Sure." Lindy responded, lifting the hem of her skirt, revealing a small section of her thigh above her knee.The motorcycle man squinted and was about to speak again when Lindy suddenly turned and gave him a roundhouse kick."Boom"!Before the man could utter a word, her foot hit his jaw. He fainted instantly, and fell straight down with a loud noise.Marcus opened his mouth into an "O" in surprise.‘I knew that she would be capable, but I never expected her skills to be so neat!’Lindy put down her skirt, patted the hem of the skirt,
There was a school meeting that day, so Sonner got off work slightly late.Coming out of the subway station, Sonnet walked towards the villa, passing by a remote corner. Suddenly, two burly men came out from inside and blocked Sonnet's way.Sonnet took two steps back vigilantly. "What do you want?""What do we want? Take a guess!" The two big men sniggered and grabbed Sonnet's arm.Sonnet struggled to resist, and shouted at the same time. "Help! Help!"Two lanky young men came out from nowhere, rushed over and fought with those two burly men.They were very skilled and knocked down the two burly men in a short while.After knocking them down, the two of them went to the back of a nearby bush.“Ouch!” After a while, there was a cry from behind. Sonnet hurriedly approached to have a look, and saw two young men dragging a man out of the bushes.This man was none other than Micah!He had already been beaten up, his nose was bruised and face swollen, as he sat on the ground moanin
