Soon, a crowd of students gathered around. "Someone's fighting!"Alina immediately felt a rush of fear. Fights at school could result in a formal reprimand, and the worst part was, she was the one getting hurt—and it really hurt, too. Throughout the entire altercation, Alina had been pinned to the ground by Halsey. Although a few other girls were also attacking Halsey, it didn't make any difference. Halsey was relentless. All Alina felt was a searing pain all over her body. Finally, she managed to shove Halsey off her. "Halsey, just you wait! I'm gonna get help and teach you a lesson!" With that, Alina grabbed her friends and fled.Halsey, though she had also taken a few hits, was unfazed. Her clothes were torn, but she picked up her handbag from the floor and made her way to the changing room. She needed to change into something else; she couldn't go out looking like this.She wasn't at all regretful about the fight with Alina. People who had nothing nice to say didn't de
In the changing room, Halsey pulled out a new outfit and, with her back to the door, started changing into her undergarments.Suddenly, a soft knock echoed from the door.Wendy had arrived? That was quick."Come in," Halsey called.The door opened, and someone stepped inside.It wasn't Wendy, but Dwight who entered.As Dwight stepped into the changing room, he caught sight of Halsey in the middle of changing. She wore the school's skirt and had just switched into a new bra, her slender hands reaching behind to fasten the hooks.Dwight froze. He had knocked first, not expecting to see this.Halsey's skin was as white as snow, almost glowing, with a delicate frame. Her long, dark hair cascaded down in soft waves, gently curling around her arms. Her back was breathtakingly beautiful, with a slim waist and a perfect curve that drew his gaze.Dwight quickly turned away, his face flush with embarrassment, and he started to step back toward the door.But before he could leave, Halse
Halsey was saying that Dwight had seen her without her clothes on.Dwight looked at her, unflinching. "I didn't.""Don't lie! Are you saying you didn't look at me at all?" she demanded, her voice sharp.Dwight remained silent, but it was obvious. Of course, he had looked—he wasn't blind.Halsey's soft, delicate face was flushed with a rosy hue. The thought of what had just happened made her feel both angry and embarrassed. She had thought it was Wendy, not him."What exactly did you see? What did you hear?" she asked, her curiosity piqued.Dwight stayed quiet, not answering her.Halsey hated when he did that—ignored her, stayed silent. "Cat got your tongue?" she teased.Finally, Dwight spoke. "You said you wanted a D cup...""Ah!" Halsey squealed, quickly standing on tiptoe and pressing her hand against his mouth, stopping him from saying more. "Stop talking!"Her hand came down abruptly, closing the gap between them. Dwight found himself staring into her bright, captivatin
Dwight quickly released her wrists and took a couple of steps back, putting some space between them.Halsey felt a warm sensation in her nose and reached up to touch it. When she looked at her fingers, they were covered in blood."Ah! I'm bleeding," she cried out, panic rising in her voice.Dwight glanced at her and saw the blood. He pulled out two tissues and handed them to her. "Tilt your head back. It'll stop soon."Halsey took the tissues and tilted her head, still confused. "Why am I bleeding?"Dwight didn't answer. He turned and opened the door, stepping out.The cold wind hit him immediately, freezing his face. It was sharp and biting, but it also helped clear away the soft, sweet scent of the girl he had just left behind.Just then, Halsey caught up to him, having stopped the bleeding from her nose. "Wait up! Why do you have so many scars?"Dwight didn't slow his pace, continuing on with long, determined strides.But Halsey was relentless, chattering away beside him. "
Halsey paused for a moment. She was indeed wearing a hairpin, but it was a gift from her aunt.Alina chuckled. "You're wearing a thousand-dollar Chanel hairpin like it's nothing, but that kind of money would take Dwight forever to earn. Do you really think you two are a good match?"Halsey put her hands on her hips. "What does it matter to you if we're a good match? You and Dwight aren't a good match, that's for sure!"Alina sneered. "You little…!"At that moment, Dwight turned to Alina, his voice cold as he spoke, "Get out of my face. Don't make me say it a third time."Alina, torn between love and fear for Dwight, shivered as his icy gaze landed on her."Fine! Just wait and see. You and Halsey won't have a good ending," Alina snapped, then turned and walked away with her group."Finally, she's gone." Halsey turned to Dwight. "Don't fall for her. She's not nice—she kept insulting you!"Dwight looked at her, puzzled. "What did she say?"Halsey hesitated, trying to protect his
Halsey turned on her heel and walked away, leaving Sienna standing there, speechless.Gilbert quickly stepped forward, blocking her path. "So you have feelings for Dwight?"Halsey nodded. "Yeah, I do."Gilbert still couldn't believe it. "No way! How could you possibly like someone like Dwight? You must be doing this to get back at me, right? I didn't expect you to play hard to get."Halsey was at a loss for words. "Gilbert, listen carefully: It's over between us. We were too young back then, and I know you took advantage of me and cheated on me. But honestly, I never had any romantic feelings for you. Now, Dwight's the man I want."Gilbert was in disbelief. He couldn't believe that the girl who used to chase after him had fallen for someone else."Do you even know who Dwight is? He has such a messy background. Do you really think he can take care of you? Or are you planning to support him?" he sneered.Halsey frowned. "I seriously don't know where you and your friends get your s
Hearing Gilbert's words, Halsey stopped struggling and obediently got into the passenger seat of the Ferrari.Gilbert slid into the driver's seat, his face dark with frustration. "Are you really that curious about Dwight?"At first, she refused to get in his car, but for Dwight's sake, she had agreed.Halsey looked up at Gilbert. "Do you realize how strange you're acting right now?"Gilbert paused, taken aback."I've already stepped aside for you and Sienna," she continued. "Now she's your girlfriend. She's got great boobs and a tiny waist, plus she's into dance. Isn't that the type you like? You should be with her. Why do you keep bothering me?"Gilbert gripped the steering wheel tighter. "I...""Gilbert, don't tell me you've fallen for me," she said, a mocking glint in her eyes.The sarcasm in her gaze hit Gilbert hard, and he couldn't hold back his frustration. He scoffed, "Get over yourself! How could I ever fall for you?""Good," Halsey replied coolly.She didn't want hi
Gilbert clenched his fist. "Halsey, are you under Dwight's spell or something?""That's none of your business!" Halsey snapped. Gilbert placed his hands on his hips and let out an angry scoff. "Fine! Then what I do is none of your business, either. I'm going to find Dwight right now."With that, Gilbert turned and started walking toward Dwight.Halsey's face changed, and she immediately reached out to grab Gilbert. "What are you doing? People are working! You have no right to disturb them!"At that moment, the construction foreman rushed over, panting. He bowed to Gilbert and said, "Mr. Gilbert, what a surprise! It's so messy and dirty here. You'll ruin your clothes. Are you here to inspect the site today?"Halsey froze.Gilbert turned to Halsey with a sly smile. "Oh, I forgot to tell you. This is one of my family's properties, and I oversee this construction site. It's no surprise I'm here for a site inspection."Halsey almost forgot that the Greenwood family was in real esta
Wendy knew Stanley would never approve of Halsey getting involved with Dwight.Wendy raised an eyebrow, clearly irritated. "Mr. Hawk, you're really overstepping. What does Halsey's business have to do with you?"Stanley shot her a sharp look. "Had enough fun? If you're done, I'll take you home."With that, Stanley grabbed Wendy's slender arm and started pulling her away.Cecelia called out from behind, "Wendy! Mr. Hawk!"-Dwight had gone backstage to change. He didn't come to this place often, but he had to admit—it was incredibly profitable.He had pulled off his torn white tank top and was about to slip into a black hoodie when the door behind him suddenly opened. Dwight's piercing gaze darted to the intruder. "Who's there?"Halsey, having followed him in, was startled to find Dwight standing there topless.Her pale face flushed bright red, and she immediately covered her face with both hands, letting out a small gasp.Dwight quickly pulled the hoodie over his head, grabb
Dwight and Halsey locked eyes.Dwight's face was hidden behind a mask, making it hard to read his expression. But his gaze was as cold as ever, staring at Halsey like she was just another stranger.The host laughed. "Ladies, calm down! Here's what we'll do. Only one person can come up and touch our star dancer. We'll decide by a bidding war. The highest bid wins."Immediately, the rich women around them started shouting out offers. "I'll pay a thousand!""Three thousand!""Five thousand!""Ten thousand!"The price quickly climbed to ten thousand, and Cecelia was stunned. "Ten thousand just to touch him? Is his six-pack made of gold or something? Are these women out of their minds?"At that moment, Halsey raised her hand. "I'll bid twenty thousand!"Halsey had bid twenty thousand.Wendy and Cecelia turned to look at her, surprised. Cecelia subtly tugged at Halsey's sleeve. "Halsey, why are you jumping into this?"Halsey, her almond-shaped eyes still focused on Dwight on st
Wendy, Cecelia, and Halsey stopped in their tracks. Cecelia said, "This restaurant's bar is really famous. I've heard there's a main attraction here who draws in all the rich women. They say when he does his striptease, the tips just keep coming."Halsey nodded. "I've heard that too. Apparently, all the waiters here are shirtless muscular guys with abs. Let's go in and see for ourselves."Wendy had no objections. "Alright, let's go in."The three of them squeezed into the bar, which was already packed. Everyone was gathered around the stage.On the stage, several handsome men were dancing while the music blared. The crowd was chanting, "Take it off, take it off, take it off!" as the men started to strip.The man in the center was the headliner of the bar. He wore a black tank top and black pants, and his face was hidden behind a cold, emotionless mask.Cecelia raised her eyebrows. "Is that him? The main guy? Wow, he's even better than I expected! That body is incredible."Wendy
Wendy watched the scene unfold before her. The woman in Stanley's arms was gazing up at him with deep affection, while he lowered his gaze in return. It was clear he was enjoying the attention he was getting.Wendy quickly averted her eyes. "Alright, enough of that. Mr. Hawk and I aren't together. Since Jessica hasn't said anything about this, I have nothing to say either. Let's go."With that, Wendy turned and left with Cecelia and Halsey.Wendy entered the restroom, while Cecelia and Halsey waited outside. "Stanley doesn't deserve Wendy," Cecelia said. Halsey suddenly had an idea. "Wait, I've got it."Halsey pulled out her phone, found a picture of Wendy, and posted it to her social media with the caption, [Single lady urgently seeking a boyfriend.]After hitting send, Halsey winked mischievously. "Mr. Hawk has a beautiful woman in his arms, so let's find Wendy a boyfriend online. When he sees this, his reaction will be priceless."Cecelia immediately gave Halsey a thumbs up
Wendy, Halsey, and Cecelia raised their glasses.At that moment, the door to the restaurant swung open, and a group of people entered. Leading the pack was a tall, handsome figure—Stanley.Stanley had come to the restaurant, but not for a casual meal. He was here for business, accompanied by several senior executives.The restaurant manager greeted him warmly. "Mr. Hawk, the private room is ready. Please follow me."Stanley followed the manager toward the private room, but as he did, his eyes scanned the crowd and immediately locked onto Wendy, who looked as graceful as ever. Wendy, along with Cecelia and Halsey, had come out to eat. They were deep in conversation, laughing and toasting, clearly in high spirits.The executives behind Stanley noticed where he was looking. "Mr. Hawk, do you know those three ladies? They look so young, like schoolgirls."The executives were intrigued by Stanley's attention to the women, since he was rumored not to be interested in them.His face r
Cecelia's questions caught Wendy off guard. Honestly, she hadn't fully decided what to do about the baby yet.She placed her small hand gently on her flat stomach, feeling the weight of the decision. The thought of aborting the baby was unbearable. This wasn't just Stanley's child—it was hers too. If Stanley didn't want the baby, did that mean she shouldn't want it either?Cecelia broke the silence. "Wendy, if you want to keep the baby, then go ahead. With our financial situation, we're not exactly struggling. A lot of women are opting to be single mothers now. And honestly, if Mr. Hawk doesn't want the child, that's even better. We can just kick him out of the picture and raise the baby ourselves. I'll be the godmother!"Halsey nodded in agreement. Even though Stanley was her cousin, Wendy had made it clear that she didn't want him to know about the pregnancy. Halsey respected that and fully supported whatever decision Wendy made. Wendy always took the time to think things thr
Stanley looked at Jessica. "You already know about the heart match?"Jessica didn't hesitate to admit it. "Yeah! Wendy's heart is a perfect match for mine. Why didn't you tell me?"Stanley countered, "If I told you, then what?"Jessica answered as if it were obvious. "Then you should figure out a way for Wendy to save me."Stanley fell silent.Jessica's voice grew more urgent. "Don't you want to save me? Are you really going to hesitate between me and Wendy? Are you in love with her? Is that why you're hesitating?"Stanley looked at Jessica, his expression firm. "You can't take Wendy's heart."Jessica's face turned pale.He actually said that she couldn't take Wendy's heart."So, what do I do now? Are you going to give up on me? Have you forgotten your promise to me? First, you've been hot and cold with me, and now you won't even try to save my life?"Stanley's voice was low, almost resigned. "I've already sent people out to search for alternatives. You can't take her heart, b
Wendy called Stanley out, saying she needed to talk to him privately.Jessica immediately made a fuss, grabbing onto Stanley's muscular arm. "If you have something to say, just say it here!"She wasn't letting Stanley go.Wendy looked between the two of them. Now that she was pregnant, why should she bear this burden alone? She couldn't let Stanley and Jessica continue their little moment. No, she had to tell Stanley what was going on.Wendy said firmly, "Jessica, this is none of your business. I can only talk to him about it. Mr. Hawk, I'll be waiting for you outside."With that, Wendy walked out.Jessica pulled at Stanley's arm. "Stanley, you're not going anywhere."Stanley pulled his arm away gently. "I'll just be a minute."He turned and walked out."Stanley!" Jessica shouted after him, her voice filled with frustration.-Stanley stepped into the hallway, where Wendy was waiting for him.He walked toward her. "You wanted to talk?"Wendy looked at him, her expression se
Wendy sat on the couch for a long time, lost in thought. Finally, she stood up and headed for the hospital. She needed to think about the situation with the baby, but for now, she had to meet Jessica.Half an hour later, Wendy arrived at Jessica's VIP ward and saw her lying on the bed.Jessica smiled, her lips curving up. "Hey, Wendy. You got here pretty fast."Wendy glanced at Jessica's pale face. "Your heart is getting worse. If you faint again next time, it could be life-threatening. So, I figured I should visit. Who knows? It might be the last time."Jessica was silent, feeling the sting of Wendy's words.She finally realized why her heart condition had worsened—Wendy had to be the one causing it.Jessica took a deep breath to steady her emotions. "You don't have to worry about that. Stanley already found a heart that matches mine. He'll save me."Wendy raised an eyebrow. "So what if he found it? Does the person even agree to save you? Without his or her consent, it'd be
