Hannah felt like she was going to throw up after  looking at Fred for a while. He was neither handsome nor all that bad looking. But to her, that was the worst looking person that she had seen all her life.

"How could someone exist that could still be this ugly?" She muttered aloud not even caring that someone's feeling was getting trampled upon by her words.

Fred bowed his head slightly, wishing already that the ground would open up and swallow him out of the embarrassment that he had experienced.

After putting on so much that he was going to look presentable, it still wasn't enough.

Hw thought about Riley that was always good looking even though he had to always to hard labor and didn't even have a skin care routine. But even with his skin care, it was more like his skin didn't care at all.

For the first time, he was jealous of Riley but soon snapped the thoughts off from his head.

"What are you even thinking about, Fred." He soon whispered to himself and braised himself up.

She replied with an irritated snort before turning around as though she had not seen anyone at all.

Fred could feel his heart dropping to the bottom of his feet seeing the reaction that he had been given and he felt truly bad.

Karl also did this and felt bad for his friends. If they didn't like him, they could have just said it instead of giving such a reaction.

The irritated duo quickly turned around ignoring his greeting as they continued talking to each other as though they had never even seen anyone.

Fred could feel a large lump going down his throat already. He wasn't good-looking. However, he wasn't ugly either.

"It's been such a long time since I saw someone this looking." Hannah snorted.

"Even if I was added to a bowl filled with oil I don't think that I will ever get that way." They snorted.

Fred was beginning to feel bad and Karl could feel the anger rising inside of him but was gradually able to control his anger. They were still Sarah's friends anyway.

To break the awkwardness in the place, he quickly walked off to his roommates and patted them on the shoulders.

"Why don't we get seated." He gestured to the seats.

Immediately after he said these words, Hannah and Tina quickly gathered their chairs towards each other, leaving Fred and Eddie to themselves.

They all sat down, all sitting next to each other. 

"Sarah. Do you care to dance with me tonight? You don't expect me to be with one of those eh." She paused, taking a clean sweep at both of them.

"Sure. I would love to have a dance with you." She replied.

Stacy was utterly disappointed. After seizing up everyone on the basketball team, she was hoping that she would find someone like Karl. Even though not that rich, it was still manageable.

She noticed that there were only two of them who were roommates with Karl instead of three.

"Huh!  Isn't there supposed to be four people in your room? How come there are only three of you here??"  Inquired Stacy.

"Oh! The last person. Riley would be here pretty soon. He went out to make a call." Karl explained.

These words that he just spoke made her fluster with a smile. She already did all the calculations in her head.

"Two non-basketball-playing ugly ducklings. And two ripped handsome dudes. The last one just has to be super quiet. There is no way that the captain of the school's basketball team wouldn't have at least a member of his team as his roommate." The thoughts filled her mind.

"At least, I still got a chance and I am not going to appear before everyone as single for another year." Stacy was still smiling as she whispered her thoughts to herself.

Her intuition made her pop out a mirror from her Louis Vuitton bag and stare at it. She smiled to herself pushing her boobs out to the limelight, making her even more attractive.

'Husbie. Where are you? Your dearest is waiting.,

The events that lay before them made it obvious to Karl and his Sarah. that she was anticipating meeting with Riley.

Karl's face broke up into a cold sweat. Though Riley didn't look bad, his was too ordinary for someone like Stacy who was a wealthy millionaire heir.

Even Stacy was a little bit uneasy, trying to calm her down already so that she was not going to be too disappointed when she saw the person that was coming in.

"Stacy. I think that you are good looking as you are already. There is no need for you to do too much." She said,

"Too much? Too much isn't even  good enough,  I have to look perfect." Stacy replied, still working on her hair without even turning around to face the others.

He was worried that there was going to be a disaster there.

The other duo hearing that someone else was coming were suddenly interested and their eyes lit up.

"Huh? Someone else is coming? Tell us, Karl, is he handsome?" They Inquired almost at the same time.

 A lump went down his spine again and it was like he was under some sort of pressure.

'What am I going to tell them now.' He was confused about what he was going to say.

"He isn't bad-looking." Sarah stepped in for Karl.

"Huh!" Hannah snorted.

"Not bad looking! You are trying to make your girlfriend sound almighty, aren't you? Why don't Karl tell us himself." Tina ventured.

"Well is handsome. Depending on the qualities that you are searching for in a guy. However, I don't think that you guys should be expecting too much." He added with a tensed chuckle.

They nodded abruptly, turning around with large grins on their faces.

They thought that Karl was trying to act modest and that whoever was coming was differently hot.

They stared at Stacy with the glaring looks of jealousy in their eyes wishing that they were the ones that had this person instead.

However, she was the celebrant of the event and it would only be normal to allow her to have the best...

"At least he will not be as wonderful looking as those golden Goose.". Hannah said loud enough for Fred and Eddie to hear her words with a mighty snort.

They looked away, hoping that the moment was not going to be too awkward.

At that moment, Karl received a call from Riley and he picked the phone up immediately.

"Hey, Karl. Where are you guys? I have been searching all over for you. This place is kinda huge." Riley mustered from the other end of the phone.

"Oh. Just tell me where you are, I am going to catch up with you."

Riley filled Karl in with the information about where he was at the moment, after which he walked right out to see him...

Stacy had already applied a few extra layers of makeup on her face. Doing all that she could to impress this person who was coming over

A few moments later, Karl could be seen walking in with someone beside him.

Quickly, Stacy replaced her makeup kits in her bag and placed the most stunning smile on her face. She was a goddess.

However, when he looked at him, her heart fell to the bottom of her feet and the smile that had been meant to win him over froze almost in an instant.

A few moments later, her face so red with anger, remembering what had happened between them and how he had ruined her day 

Riley also recognized that person. Who could he ever forget the face of the person who had rejected his billion-dollar card?

The others also looked over. They had already given up this guy for Stacy since she was the celebrant.

However, it wasn't going to be out of place to behold some hot guy with the perfect smile.

However, when they looked at him. They quickly lost interest. What is the use of a good face when you look like someone who just got picked from the trash?

They were most sorry for Stacy who had put in so much effort to impress such a dumb kin. They looked at her, to console her only to notice the furious gaze laced all over her face.

"Stacy, are you okay?" Sarah was the first to inquire...

Of course, it was enough to feel disappointed after seeing how badly the person that was standing before her looked. But for her face to be twisted with this much anger, there had to be something more to it.

For a while,  Stacy could not say anything and only kept on staring at Riley with the anger gradually rising in her.

"This is the guy that I had told you guys about. The one that had ruined the dress that I got for five hundred dollars." She announced with her hands tapping the table furiously.

"Huh!" Hannah and Tina exclaimed almost immediately.

"This is the bitch? He is even more pitiful looking than I had thought." Tina added.

    The ladies walked out of the hall with Charles, the cold night air outside feeling much calmer after the chaos inside. None of them spoke at first. The sound of their heels on the pavement echoed softly as they moved toward the parking area.Lixxypie finally let out a long breath and shook her head.“I still can’t believe Collins would go that far,” she said. “Involving minors? That’s beyond disgusting.”Sapphire crossed her arms, her expression still tense.“Good thing you noticed in time,” she said to Charles. “If that went on any longer, this could have landed you in prison with no way out. Those charges were serious.”Serena looked at him quietly for a moment before speaking.“Please… just be more careful next time,” she said softly.Charles smiled faintly and nodded.“Sure,” he said. “I will.”Natasha suddenly clicked her tongue in annoyance.“I’m just angry about one thing,” she said. “Why did you even help her? After everything she did to you? She humiliated you, compared you t

    Tracy’s vision blurred as the officer’s words sank in. She stared at Collins in disbelief.“So… all this time…” her voice trembled, “you were trying to dupe me?”Her heart began beating faster.If this was true… everything would have been over for her.She had been preparing to sign her entire company to him as part of the so-called partnership deal.If Collins had succeeded, he would have sold the company and disappeared. Her entire life would have been ruined.Tracy felt a chill run through her body.She looked at him desperately.“Is… is that true?” she asked.Collins gulped.His face was pale and his lips trembled slightly.“Wait… listen to me…” he stammered. “It’s… it’s not like that…”The police officer cut him off immediately.“Don’t even try to deny it,” he said sternly. “We already know everything.”The officer looked at him coldly.“You contacted someone to secretly purchase Ms. Tracy’s company after the transfer was complete. We already have that person’s statement.”The en

    Collins’ face had already turned pale, yet he kept shaking his head stubbornly.“No… no… this isn’t real,” he muttered. “I didn’t do it.”Even with the clear recording echoing through the hall, he continued denying it. His head moved repeatedly from side to side as if refusing to accept the reality in front of him.“I didn’t do it,” Collins insisted louder. “This is fake! Charles fabricated everything!”The police officer’s expression darkened.He had already heard enough.Slowly, the officer turned toward the two girls standing beside him. His face was stern now, and the patience in his eyes had completely disappeared.“Look,” the officer said coldly, his voice sharp and commanding. “You two are minors. The law is already willing to give you some leniency because of that.”The girls froze.“But if you continue lying to the police,” he continued, “you will spend even more time in jail. So think carefully before you speak again.”The two girls gulped nervously.Their earlier confidence

    Charles felt like disappearing after the words left his mouth. Serena, the beauty who had rejected countless powerful men, just agreed to be his fiancee?.Hearing this, Fred grew angry, he pulled out his gun and pointed it at him. “What audacity! Who are you to say such a thing to Ms. Serena? You want to die?”Charles tried to stay calm and cool. Serena didn’t stop Fred; she just stared at him before asking, “You’re asking me to be engaged to you because you saved my life? I should have known you had something mischievous up your sleeve when you showed up so suddenly,” Serena said softly.Charles swallowed. “No… I didn’t save you for that. I… I just want to stay by your side. To protect you.” He didn’t even know what he was saying, he kept slipping.Fred’s face went red with fury. “Ms. Serena can protect herself…let alone with us, her bodyguards around. We are over two hundred. Say something like that again and I will blow your head off.”Charles managed to gather courage and said, “

    “What the hell are you doing here!” Tracy yelled as soon as she set her eyes on Charles.Charles stared at her, debating whether to tell her what he had just witnessed. He even had the evidence…it wouldn’t be hard to prove it to her. Part of him wanted to let her know; she didn’t deserve this, even despite their broken relationship and her betrayal.“Tracy…” he began.Tracy immediately cut him off. “Just hang it there. So, you are here to apologize, huh? I knew you would come back. I knew you would regret it! Now you have no place to sleep, and here you are.”Charles couldn’t believe Tracy was still stuck in her own delusions, convincing herself that he would come crawling back.“Who told you I’m here to come back?” Charles shot back.“Isn’t that what you are here for? Your little plan yesterday failed! How could you present a fake ring, thinking you could win Serena’s heart and buy your way out of your filthy, poverty-stricken life? Haha! They must have found out it was fake. Your pl
