Dahlia froze for a second, and to my disbelief, a flicker of happiness appeared on her face.

She quickly reached out and hugged him tightly in return, and the two of them looked almost like lovers.

Dahlia turned toward me and shouted, “Weston! Are you out of your mind? Apologize to Reid right now!”

I stood still, staring at her coldly. “Dahlia, he’s the one who poured water on me first. Why should I be the one to apologize?”

Her anger grew even stronger. She pointed at me, her voice rising as she yelled, “You hurt Reid, and you still dare talk back?! I must have been blind to ever fall for such a heartless man like you!”

Heartless?

So, in her heart, she had already decided long ago that I was just in her way.

At that moment, I felt both relieved and disappointed, relieved that I had never told her who I really was, and disappointed that I had once believed in her.

When we were together, I had only said my family was normal, letting her think I was just an ordinary second-generation rich kid. That was the only reason I got to see her true nature.

What I regretted was that before leaving for my studies abroad, I had even recommended her to my mother to be the branch manager.
