Amanda then feigned a look of concern. “On that subject, have you paid the manager back yet? You've got a bit of money on you now, right?”Stacy glared at Amanda. “What the hell, dude?! We're at an event. Do you really need to bring that up now?”Amanda feigned a look of innocence, shrugging her shoulders. “What? You're making it look like I'm saying something that wasn't already known to a lot of people. The incident happened right here, Stacy. Many other students of HU saw him cause the $50,000 bottle to shatter carelessly.”Before Stacy could say anything, Jamie held out a hand, signaling to her with a calm smile not to let Amanda rule her up.He then turned to Amanda himself, taking a step forward with a calm smile. “Amanda, what's the meaning of this? If you really wanna know whether I paid the $50,000 debt or not, then I think you should go ask the Manager Harari himself, don't you think?”Amanda persisted stubbornly. “And why can't you provide me with an answer?”Stacy cut in.

Despite all the Red flags around Amanda that were glaringly obvious to her and Billy, Stacy couldn't understand why Jamie just couldn't see them, or perhaps, he simply refused to see them. He was too in love with Amanda to see her for the traitorous woman that she truly is.Jamie pulled Stacy back, looking at her with a calm demeanor but a concerned look. “Stace, I told you not to let her rule you up like that.”Stacy pushed Jamie's hands away from her while staring at him with a bit of disappointment. “And why not?! I'm like this because you refuse to stand up for yourself right now! Are you just gonna do nothing while she openly humiliates you like this?! Don't tell me you're still in….”Jamie's gaze changed slightly. “Even I'm not that stupid.”Stacy persisted. “Then why aren't you defending yourself before the reporters in this nightclub?!”Jamie smiled reassuringly at her. “I'm not doing anything because I have people here to fight for me.”Stacy became confused. “Huh?”Jamie ch

Meanwhile, Stacy turned to Jamie with tear-filled eyes. “What the heck, Jamie? You didn't tell me that you went through so much.”Though she had witnessed what had happened to Jamie a few times in the past, that was it. She rarely witnessed the serious bullying incidents that happened outside of the Reynold family's Estate.Jamie smiled at her. “It's fine. I didn't want to make you worried, Stace. I'm okay now.”Stacy pouted at him. “Still, you didn't deserve these things happening to you at all.”She glared at the group of antagonists, pointing at them. “You guys are a bunch of horrible people! I can't believe that my brothers hang out with…..”She couldn't believe that her brothers hung out with these horrible people. That was the statement she couldn't finish. But she had realized mid-sentence that her brothers were no different from these horrible people. In fact, Nathan and Jonathan were the biggest endorsers for Jamie's bullies, always cheering them on for looking down on Jamie

The Reynold brothers, Amanda, Seth, Danny, Meghan, and Olivia. Every single one of them felt the urge to throw something at Jamie's face, in hopes of watching get hurt. Let the reporters make headlines out of that.It was infuriating. A simple plan by Amanda, which was expected to effortlessly yield results in their favor, had actually done a lot more damage against them all.Meanwhile, Sonia gracefully walked over to Jamie, stopping right where the four Red Fenix soldiers were standing to draw a line that couldn't be crossed.She glanced at them before turning to Jamie and Stacy. “Guts, is it okay if I join you guys?”She turned to briefly glare at Nathan and his group of antagonists. “I don't really wanna be around these people tonight.”Stacy turned to Jamie with puppy eyes. “I want Sonia with us!”Jamie chuckled in adoration of his stepsister, parting her head a bit before nodding his head to Sonia. “We'd love to have you.”He then whispered in a deeper tone to Manager Harari. “L

Sonia giggled delightedly before slapping Jamie's arm lightly. “Look at you in your protective wider brother mode. It's kind of endearing to watch.”Jamie tilted his head. “I love Billy, and he's my best friend, but I wouldn't mind putting him through the ringer once or twice if it turns out that he's truly dating Stacy. I wouldn't mind roughing him up a bit just to give him a taste of what hell he will be getting from me if he doesn't treat Stacy right.”Stacy might be the daughter of the man whose cruelty killed his mother, but Jamie would never fault Stacy for everything he and his mother went through at the hands of the Reynold family. Heaven knows that the young lady is doing whatever she can to alleviate the pain they were going through whenever she can.Also, Stacy has never hesitated to stand up for him, especially when it's against the men in her family. She never failed to let her brothers know that she would never condone their bullying acts towards Jamie.Sonia giggled so
