.In the eyes of others, Adrienne was the aloof campus belle of Artaw University. Even I, born into wealth, couldn't win her affection with all the money I spent on her.
But Jasper had effortlessly drawn her attention. It was not surprising that he was showing off.
"James has really brought disgrace to us men."
"Although he is rich, he is still a loser. Despite his efforts, he still failed to get Adrienne to fall for him. I heard that she didn’t even give him a look."
The discussions continued.
I couldn’t help but laugh bitterly, regretting my actions in the past life.
What had gotten into me?
I was supposed to lead a good life, yet I had swallowed my pride to pursue a woman who didn’t deserve my affection??
Jasper and his friends heard me laugh and turned to look in my direction. When they spotted me, their expressions soured.
"Speak of the devil."
"So what if he's here? Everyone in the school knows that he's thrown away his pride to pursue a woman. Jasper said it was Adrienne who approached him. What else can he do except live with it?
I dismissed them and proceeded to study for a test.
Jasper, however, confidently walked up to me and said, "James you’ve heard of the photos, right. Each is worth 16,000. If you pay for them, I can remove them. I bet it’s just pocket money to you. After all, you’ve spent a tens of thousands of dollars to please her."
Those nearby stopped what they were doing and watched the unfolding drama with interest. And they expressed that they roosted for Jasper...
Getting carried away with their support, Jasper cast me a derisive glance and declared, "How about this? If you beg me to be your boss, I’ll help you win over .Adrienne…"
After he finished speaking, I looked up at him with indifference.
"Thank you for letting me enjoy a free show. It was impressive," I remarked.
Jasper didn’t get what he wanted, and instead, got embarrassed.
His face turned livid. As he spoke, there was a touch of anger in his voice.
"You’ve crossed a line, James. I’ve given you an opportunity, yet you didn’t cherish it."
I laughed though I was annoyed by his remarks..
The truth was, Jasper could go to college because my family paid for his tuition fees. I didn’t understand why he had the nerve to talk to me like that.
