She was stunned. Goosebumps appeared all over her body.
âColby Withers, what the heck are you playing at? Isnât Cheryl the one you like? Everyone in university
knows about how youâve been chasing her for five years and how you liked her for those years. You
should be confessing your love to her. Why are you confessing to me?â
Cheryl was also taken aback. This was not the same as what she had imagined.
But very quickly, she rejoiced in her friendâs misfortune and said while smiling at Phoebe, âYou said it
yourself just now, that if it were you, you would agree. Hurry up and accept him, then!â
Alex also chipped in, âThatâs right, you were boasting all about him just now, praising him up to the sky
and how there was no one better than him on earth, and that he is a hundred times better than me.
Such a good chance for a relationship here⦠You shouldnât waste it, lest you be struck down by
lightning for forsaking such a waste!â
âYou⦠Iâ¦â Phoebe was furious, but she was also speechless.
Alex said, âEnough with that you-me business. Quickly agreeing is the important thing here⦠Oh, or
was it all just nonsense that you spouted just now? Was it just to push Cheryl into a pit? Arenât you
Cherylâs best friend? Sigh, so it turns out that youâre the kind of best friend who cockblocks everything,
scams her, and takes everything for yourself. Itâs not worth having a best friend like this!â
âYou⦠You asshole! I wonât scam Cheryl like that! Youâre the scammer here!â
âIf youâre not one, then you should agree to his proposal. Look at how sincere the guy is, and how
beautiful the flowers are. If you pass up this chance, who knows if youâll be able to receive such
beautiful flowers in the future?â
The words that Alex said made Colby feel like he had found a good confidant and friend. What a good
person!
If he was able to get Phoebe, then Alex would be equivalent to his matchmaker, and he would be sure
to give him a big gift for this!
Phoebeâs father was a magistrate in Michigan!
With such a senior man behind him, he wouldnât need to struggle his entire lifetime.
Phoebe felt like she couldnât beat Alex at all, and she was so angry now, unable to even speak like
normal. Finally, she turned to Colby and said, âColby, donât go out of your mind. The person you like is
Cheryl. How can you just shift your feelings like that? Arenât you a disappointment like this? Yes, I said
that you were great because you had a passion for Cheryl. But to suddenly confess to me like this, Iâm
unable to accept you.â
Unexpectedly, Colby said, âPhoebe, Iâll be honest with you. I deceived you in the past. Actually, the one
Iâve liked, and always have liked, was always you! Chasing Cheryl was just a strategy of mine⦠I was
afraid that you would reject me if I directly pursued you. So, I used this strategy to get closer to you, to
be more familiar with you, so that I could see you every day. Didnât you realize this? With my family
background, why didnât I manage to chase after Chery? Thatâs because I couldnât!â
âWhat?!â
Phoebe was stunned.
Cheryl was also stunned, but it quickly turned into relief.
She turned to Alex and said, âIt really scared me just now, I thought⦠So, it turns out that I was just a
tool!â
Alex whispered in her ear, âFrom what I see, itâs definitely his eyesight that has a problem. Compared
to you, Phoebe is like ten times worse. Youâre way better than her.â
Alex was deliberately belittling Phoebe.
But in Cherylâs ears, it simply sounded like the words of some intoxicated lover. She couldnât help but
lean closer to Alex. Their heads turned at the same time, and their lips brushed against each other
lightly.
It was as if they were struck by a wave of staticâ¦
Cheryl shuddered from that little contact, and she bowed her head in embarrassment.
At the same time, others watching from the side had also started cheering.
âAccept him!â
âJust accept him! Such a handsome boy, itâll be a shame to miss a chance like this!â
âItâs rare to have such love in the world!â
Being forced into a corner, Phoebe didnât know what to do, and she looked towards Cheryl for help.
However, Alex suddenly grabbed Cherylâs wrist and said, âOh no, Cheryl, if we continue to stay here,
your friend may feel embarrassed to agree. This bro had pretended to like you for so long before this,
after all. I think itâs better if we leave to give them a chance.â
