Chapter 060 ~ Public Rejection
Flashbacks from the past two years of his life came flooding back. He remembered when he first met Sophia. How kind he had been to her when they bumped into each other. He was so cute and naive that they became instant friends. Peter used to be mocked by other girls because of how he looked and how he dressed, despite being a very handsome young man. In fact, it was that cuteness of his that drew Sophia closer to him in a romantic way. What started as friendship slowly turned deeper, and before they knew it, they became lovers. Sophia wouldn’t end the day without long hours of talking with Peter. They would chat and sometimes fall asleep on the phone. That was how deep their love for each other had been. So… would he be wrong if he accepted her back? She used to be his first love, the first woman he ever bought ice cream for. He had deeply loved her in the past and was ready to sacrifice everything for her sake at any time. Back then, after Sophia began to get more exposed and i
Chapter 059 ~ Sophia's Downfall
[BACK IN THE PRESENT]“Meet my new girlfriend, Paige Carter. I know you’ll be delighted to hear this news because it’s something you’ve always wanted, so I give you this one. You won, loser,” Troy mocked, his hand wrapped around her waist.“New girlfriend? I thought you were dating Sophia?” Peter asked, not entirely surprised. “What now? What happened, Troy? Don’t tell me you’re down for polygamy.”Troy scoffed, taking a quick glance at the woman beside him as he said, “Funny, but no. My woman doesn’t like to share her meal.”“Which of them—Sophia or Paige?” Peter asked, triggering yet another round of murmurs from the gathered crowd.The students loved drama. Who needed a Netflix subscription when you could always watch one every day in school?“Exactly, which one of them is actually his woman?” a voice said. “Is he a two-faced boyfriend? Does he now service two women at the same time?”“Wait until Sophia finds out. I can’t wait to see the look of humiliation on her face,” another la
Chapter 058 ~ Paige Carter
It was a brand new day. The morning sun was already up, and Peter, despite spending the night in his soft, comfortable, extra large bed, didn’t dare think about making the same mistake he had made the other day—sleeping past his alarm. Today had a strange feeling attached to it. It felt strange but kind of sweet. Peter could not explain it fully, but for some reason he was pumped, as if today was going to be his lucky day. Moreover, he had planned on purchasing a house for his grandmother today, after their discussion last night. He had thought hard about something pleasant to get her for her birthday but couldn’t come up with anything tangible, so he decided to buy her a new house since he could now afford it without breaking a sweat. It was also the right thing to do. It felt wrong that he lived in a massive mansion that looked like a royal house, even larger than a king’s palace, while his grandmother, who had been there with him all his life, still lived in their old, shabby
Chapter 057 ~ Red Flags
Later that evening, around 8 p.m. Peter arrived at the Graham estate. He was going to spend the night at the mansion because of the amount of work he had to do, he needed a serene environment for it.The moment he stepped in, the maids welcomed him and took his belongings to the places they were meant to be.Peter ordered them to take the box to the library, as he would be using the place as his work office instead, despite the mansion having at least five empty rooms designed as home offices.When he entered, he saw Oscar already standing in his usual professional position, hands clasped neatly in front.“Welcome home, Young Master,” he greeted with a pleasant smile. “I believe you had a good day at the office. Your dinner will be served shortly. Please freshen up while the maids get everything ready for you.”Peter loved the idea, but not tonight.“Yeah, I did,” he said. “And as for dinner… that would be lovely, but I’d rather eat in the library instead. I have a ton of work to do.”

"Look who finally decided to show up," the familiar voice sneered. "I almost thought you were dead or something. You poor shrimps always find new ways to avoid paying up your debts." The voice belonged to Punch Walker, the notorious school lender who didn’t play about his money, even if it meant death. "Pu—Punch?..." Peter was startled. He knew a day would come when Punch would pester him for the money, but he didn’t expect it tonight. What terrible timing... He had just spent all his earnings on a diamond ring he planned to gift Sophia as a proposal. But Punch didn’t look like he was ready to hear any of that. "I’ll be quick and snappy with you. You got my money?" Punch asked with a cruel frown. Peter was short of words. He didn’t know how to respond because, truthfully, he didn’t have it. His words stumbled over each other as he searched for the perfect lie. "I... I... Uhm..." "I guess that means no." Punch chimed in curtly. "it’s not like that, Punch. I’ll get you
Chapter 055 ~ Something To Talk About
One Hour Later. Peter stepped out of the factory building with Ms. Price—Valentina. She had just given him a tour around the factory, showing him how most of their expensive collections were made, from the bags, to the designers, to the shoes, boots, leather gears, and many others. After the tour was over, they decided to head back to the HQ, because Peter needed to wrap up for the day and head back to school. When they entered, all eyes suddenly fell on them. Every worker turned their heads, pointing secretly toward Valentina and Peter as they walked side by side toward the elevator. “Who’s that with Ms. Price?” someone asked among the curious eyes. “I saw him earlier at the office entrance. He looks like a beggar. Maybe it’s one of her many charity cases. You know how kind and compassionate Ms. Price is.” “I agree,” another voice chimed in. “Just take a good look at him. Poor thing. He looks like he might break in half anytime soon.” They all laughed, hiding their exp
