Chapter 31

Jake saw Zack's message as soon as he stepped out of the conference room.The last conversation they had was two years ago—on the day they fought.Why did they fight?It had been so long that he couldn't quite remember. He only knew that after that incident, Zack went abroad.Jake sat in his office chair, reminiscing about their school days.Their families were neighbors, their mothers were best friends, and he and Zack had grown up together.They had always been close, but because of Emily, a rift had formed between them.A cliché love triangle.Suddenly, the office door was pushed open from the outside."Jake."Daniel walked in with a fawning smile.Jake withdrew his gaze, lifted his eyes, and glanced at him indifferently. "What do you want?"Daniel grinned cheekily. "Did you call me this morning?"Jake nodded.Daniel leaned in. "Was it about Emily? No need to thank me—it's what a cousin should do."Jake frowned. "Emily? What does she have to do with this?"Daniel fro

Jake clicked his tongue twice and mocked, "You're really generous."Daniel didn't catch the sarcasm in his tone and grinned. "I like her, of course, I have to treat her well. What if I don't, and she runs off with someone else?"Jake looked at him with disdain. "Look at you, with your lack of ambition."Daniel chuckled. "Jake, please help me out.""Fine. I'll have finance transfer the money from my private account for you later."Daniel's face immediately lit up with joy. "Thanks, Jake! I'll head back to school now. Don't forget to send it to me tomorrow.""Get lost."Having achieved his goal, Daniel left happily.Jake leaned back in his chair, thinking about what Daniel had said.So, Emily still cared about him.Since she had already lowered her pride and shown goodwill, as long as she behaved from now on, he wouldn't mind why she was with him.Money wasn't an issue anyway. If she liked money, then he'd give it to her.Once he figured it out, Jake's mood improved significa

Campbell paused for a moment and asked, "Wait... what did you just say? Who took care of you last night?""Emily, who else?""Wasn't it your little girlfriend? I called her last night."When he heard Helen's name, Jake's expression darkened.He hadn't expected Helen to lie to him. It seemed he had been too nice to her.Jake decided to ghost her for a few days, if she didn't change, he would break up with her.He never intended for things with Helen to last long—it was just for the novelty.But he hadn't thought she'd be bold enough to try deceiving him right under his nose.Emily carried her bag and headed straight for the Freeman Group's office building.After registering at the front desk, the receptionist saw her name and smiled. "Miss Sanders, this way, please."With that, she took an elevator card and led Emily to the private elevator.As the doors opened, the receptionist scanned the card for floor access and said politely, "Mr. Freeman is waiting for you in his office

Waving her hand at him, Emily turned and walked out of Luke's office.Almost as soon as she left, Luke quickly picked up his phone and called Liam.As soon as the call connected, Luke urged, "Hurry up and come to my office."Liam hesitated for a moment. "Luke, what's wrong? You don't sound right.""Just get here and take me to the hospital."Emily took the elevator down to the lobby. The receptionist saw her and greeted her politely, "Miss Sanders, are you leaving?"Emily smiled and responded with a nod.Stepping outside, she realized it had started snowing lightly.It seemed like this winter had seen quite a few snowy days.She walked to the underground entrance. She was just about to scan her ticket when her phone rang in her bag.Taking it out, she saw that it was a call from Wendy.Emily answered, "Hello, Wendy?""Emily, hurry! Come quickly—"Wendy's voice was frantic and incoherent. It took a while before Emily could piece together what had happened.After they had l

The phone rang twice before it was hung up.It was obvious that she had been blocked.Emily's mouth twitched.Although her first impression of Gary wasn't great—after all, he had tried to add her on WhatsApp behind Wendy's back—she hadn't expected him to be not only a flirt but also so unreliable.Even if he didn't want to pay compensation, it was too extreme to block his girlfriend so decisively.Besides, Wendy was still injured and hospitalized.Even if he was scared, he should at least put on an act instead of running away like this."Wendy, does he not know you're rich?"That was the only explanation Emily could think of.Wendy shrank her neck. "He probably doesn't."When she was dating Gary, she had never intentionally revealed her wealth. Unlike other rich girls, she didn't chase after luxury brands.As long as she liked something, no matter how cheap or expensive, she treated it like a treasure.It was the same with Gary. She had always known that he wasn't well-off.

Liam smiled and said, "Emily, do you know what my car looked like after the crash?"Emily shook her head.Liam took out his phone, pulled up a photo, and shoved it in front of Emily.Emily glanced at it and was stunned.The hood was bent upward, and smoke was still coming out.It looked pretty serious.Wendy also leaned over to take a look, and upon seeing how bad it was, she immediately felt guilty."Sir, I'm sorry. I didn't do it on purpose. I'll pay whatever it costs, just don't put me behind bars as punishment."Liam focused his gaze on Wendy.He had to admit, this little girl was just his type.He curved his lips into a smile. "Are you a friend of Emily?"Wendy nodded. "Best friend and roommate."Liam cocked his brows. "Well, since we're all friends, let's talk it out nicely, shall we?"He gestured for Emily to step outside.Emily knew exactly what Liam was thinking, she wasn't going to let her friend fall into a trap.But before she could say anything, Wendy whispe

Emily hurriedly got up and walked toward the balcony."What exactly do you want to say?""I know it was you who came to my house to take care of me last night. Emily, you still love me, don't you?"Emily was rendered speechless.She hadn't planned on going in the first place, but thinking of the promise she made to Linda, she couldn't leave until Jake broke up with Helen.With that in mind, she asked, "And then? What are you trying to say?"Jake took the initiative to speak. "I haven't been able to get used to life without you around."Hearing this, Emily sneered. "Didn't you say the campus belle was your true love? With your true love by your side, what exactly are you struggling to adjust to?"Jake was at a loss for words.Emily continued, "If there's nothing else, I'm hanging up.""No, don't hang up."Emily didn't hang up, but she also didn't say anything, waiting for Jake to continue.After a brief silence, Jake finally spoke. "Emily, whether you believe it or not, Hele

But the more she thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt."Luke, it's no wonder you're here getting an IV. You knew you can't eat beef, yet you kept stuffing them into your mouth."Emily froze when she heard this.She had thought Luke didn't know about his allergies.But it turned out he was fully aware that he was allergic to those foods.So why did he still eat them?Confused, Emily looked up at Luke.Luke, looking a little guilty, shifted his gaze away. "Liam, how about you give your mouth to someone who really needs it? Don't waste it."Liam was rendered speechless. ‘That bastard.’He walked up to Emily and said, "Emily, let's go. Don't mind Luke. It's his own fault he's in pain."As he said that, he pulled her, trying to leave.Emily sat still.Liam, confused, asked, "Aren't you coming with me?""He... has no one to take care of him.""Who cares whether he lives or dies? He chose to eat it, so he's allergic, it's his fault. Come on, I'll take you to the Sce

Liam looked at him with a disgusted expression, utterly unimpressed.He had been wondering why he suddenly wanted to go to the bathroom—turns out it was all part of his plan.Liam sneered. "Didn't expect you to be this love-struck.""Get lost, stop disturbing me here."Liam clicked his tongue. "You’re all hoes before bros, Luke, I really misjudged you...""Get lost or I'll stab you with this needle." He sat up straight, clearly ready to jab Liam if he didn't leave.Liam, still disgusted, stretched lazily, mocking, "Alright, I see you're not just love-struck. You are a criminal inside, too!"When Emily finished handling the admission process, she didn't see Liam and asked casually, "Where's Liam?"Luke's gaze darkened as he replied indifferently, "He went to find a girlfriend.""Oh, I still need to talk to him about something.""What's there to talk about with him?"Emily noticed the tone in his voice wasn't great, so she didn't ask further.She looked at the medicine bottle

Liam was stunned. "Girlfriend? Who said I have a girlfriend?"Emily instinctively looked at Luke.Liam immediately puffed out his chest and said angrily, "Luke, you're spreading rumors again. When did I ever have a girlfriend?"Luke glanced at him and said casually, "So she’s a friend with benefits then?"If killing wasn't a crime, Liam would've strangled Luke, that bastard, right there.He turned to Emily and smiled. "It's not true. Don't listen to Luke, I'm still single."Emily's lips twitched.She didn't quite believe it.Liam glanced at Luke. "Aren't we friends anymore? Clarify this for me!"Luke raised his head. "Clarify what?"Liam was getting agitated. "I'm single!"Luke replied casually, "Oh, you're single, that doesn't stop you from hooking up."Liam was rendered speechless.Emily looked at Luke. "What auction? Do you need a partner?"Before Emily could speak, Liam had already started explaining excitedly.Finally, Emily caught the main point.It was Luke's wel
