7 Chapter 7
Hendrik, on the other hand, was the guy sitting behind me, the one who kept asking for my WeChat after 1 excitedly got Dashiell’s.
At that time, Hendrik was decked out in designer clothes, tall and handsome, surrounded by a group of girls vying
for his attention.
I’d also heard from other girls that he was the only son of the renowned Grey family from Los Angeles.
In contrast, I came from an ordinary background. My parents passed away in a car accident the year I got into college, and my grandparents, who lived far away, were supporting my college education with their meager pension.
So, the difference in social status and background made me never even imagine the possibility of being with someone like Hendrik.
Adding to that, I’d heard rumors that guys like him, born with a sliver spoon, always had girls around them, and his interest in me was probably just a passing fancy.
Due to my Insecurities and various complicated factors, I simply rejected him outright, saying I didn’t like his type.
Dashiell, on the other hand, came from a similar background as me. His hometown was thousands of miles away In the countryside, and he had only his hardworking mother, who toiled in the fields to raise him and put him. through college.Our similar backgrounds led us to quickly confirm our relationship and get together, but even after I became official with Dashiell, Hendrik never gave up on me.
Throughout our four years of college, he persistently pursued me, writing love letters, singing romantic songs, and giving me frighteningly expensive gifts. Everyone in the world knew he loved me.
As graduation approached, he even said that if I left Dashiell for him, he would marry me immediately and gift me a mansion and luxury car.
He got down on his knees in front of me, swearing that Dashiell was a jerk who wasn’t worth marrying, that I would regret it sooner or later, and that only he was my true soulmate.
He also said that if one day I discovered Dashiell had betrayed or mistreated me, I could come to him, and he would drop everything to save me.
I clearly remember how I responded at the time. I called him an arrogant bastard who thought he was all that just because his family had some dirty money.
I even swore that I would work hard to earn my own mansion and luxury ear, that I would spend my whole life loving Dashiell, and that I would never need him to come save me.
But looking at it now, except for earning the mansion and luxury car myself, everything he said about Dashiell has come true. I’ve really slapped myself in the face hard.Four years have passed, and we’ve all matured considerably, Dashiell, dressed in a sharp suit, exudes an air of refinement – a far cry from the bright–eyed boy in a white shirt during our college days.
Hendrik is no longer that rich playboy who used to slick back his hair and wear sunglasses to look cool.
Instead, he’s become a low–key, composed CEO with an aura of Intimidating power.
Hendrik protectively holds me in his arms, his demeanor fierce and domineering. He looks down at Dashiell, who’s half a head shorter than him, as if he’s regarding an ant, and speaks calmly.
“My relationship with her… I guess you could say we’re more than friends but not quite lovers? But I’m confident things will progress soon. However… I’m pretty sure you two are divorced now, and Scarlett is single
“So you’re that playboy who chased after Scarlett for four years when my son was in college? Well, well, Scarlett,

you sure are fickle! So you’ve been fooling around with this scoundrel all along, even during your eight–year relationship and four–year marriage to my son! Unacceptable! You were unfaithful during the marriage, so this mansion, these luxury cars, and the company shares they all belong to my son now. You’ll leave with nothing!“As I gazed at Mabel’s twisted expression, I was utterly speechless. This old lady knew jack shit, but she sure had a knack for stirring up trouble.
I let out a sigh and turned to face Mabel.
