The glimmer of excitement in Elenaâs eyes became brighter and brighter as Casper continued to share with her the plan he had in mind.
Establishing an exotic-themed food street after debunking the circulating ghost stories here is such a clever idea! No doubt this unique food street will cause a sensation!
In an instant, her respect and admiration for Casper grew. She thought he would suffer a loss in his current investment, but little did she know that he had long had a strategy in mind.
âYour idea is amazing! When shall we begin?â she exclaimed excitedly.
She could hardly wait to invite people from various television stations to come and spread the news to the public.
He patted her shoulder with a grin. âThere is no need to hurry. First, we need to investigate the background of the person who purposely makes this place appear haunted.â
After all, being able to pull this trick for so long is really something.
After that, Casper and Elena further discussed the plan for the food street before going back to the campus.
As she went on her way, his words just now fully occupied her mind. The longer she pondered about the plan, the more confident she was in the future success of the food street.
Meanwhile, since Casper did not have much to do later, he strolled down the street, heading to a bus stop nearby. Just as he was about to reach there, he saw a bus coming and immediately hopped onto the bus to his university.
After passing through several stops, he finally arrived at the universityâs entrance two hours later.
By now, the sky had darkened, and the street lights were lit.
Not long after he got off the bus, he bumped into two acquaintances outside the gate.
Kitty was smiling bashfully in Charlieâs embrace with his new car stopped at the roadside.
After Charlie whispered something into her ear, she pounded on his chest coquettishly as a warm blush crept across her cheeks.
Casper clicked his tongue in contempt. A scumbag and a wench!
Rolling his eyes, he opted to ignore them and headed straight to the campus.
However, Charlie did not want to let the opportunity slide away. Tightening his arms around his girlfriendâs waist, he peered down at Casper and called, âYo! Where have you been? Coming back from your part-time job?â
âItâs none of your business,â Casper replied monotonously, not bothered to engage in further talks with them.
Upon hearing their conversation, Kitty averted her gaze from her boyfriend and sized Casper up scornfully. âLuckily, Iâve broken up with you.â
Pleased at her attitude, Charlie beamed at her and planted a kiss on her face affectionately.
On the other hand, their public display of affection caused a wave of revulsion to sweep through Casper, totally ruining his good mood.
âThatâs enough. Instead of causing trouble every day, you two should go to class more. Whatâs the point of doing all this nonsense?â Casper waved his hand with a disgusted look. âI wonder how you can bring yourself to kiss that face of hers. Canât you see that thick layer of makeup sheâs wearing? Look at yourself, dude. Your lips are powder white.â
Hearing Casperâs remark, Charlie could not help but touch his lips out of instinct. Meanwhile, Kitty immediately turned red with anger as she glowered at him. âYou said that because you never get to kiss me! Itâs sour grapes!â
Looking at her acrimonious manner, Casper shook his head in regret. Was I blind? Why would I fall for this witch previously?
Then, he glanced at her chest mockingly and nodded at her. âUh-huh. They do look like grapes.â
âArgh!â Kitty was so exasperated that she started stomping her foot and snapped, âI didnât know youâre such a foul-mouthed person!â
Knowing that Casper was paying no mind to him, Charlie turned indignant as well. âWho do you think you are? How dare you talk to my girlfriend like that!â
âOkay. Iâll take my leave then. Work is exceptionally exhausting today. Let me go back and rest.â
Casper waved, bidding them goodbye.
Before Charlie could say more, Casper left right away.
Irritated, he kicked the stone at the side and huffed. D*mn it!
Iâll have to teach Casper a lesson!
Since Casper was quite popular in the university, Jessica soon found out some of his details.
She snatched the paper from her hired private investigator and tore it into pieces, livid.
As the heiress of the Taylor family, how could I let this poor guy tricked me?
Besides, I even got slapped by Amelia today!
Jessica strode to the window as a cold glint flashed across her eyes. âD*mn you, Casper. Iâll make you pay!â
While over on the other side, Casper was sleeping soundly in his room, completely unaware that he was targeted by two people.
The weather was good the next day, so he planned to meet up with Elena after attending classes for the day to talk more about the food street plan with her.
When he stepped out of the campus, he suddenly noticed that a few vicious-looking, burly men with tattoos were trailing him. All of the passers-by around them subconsciously avoided them out of fear.
As Casper walked down the street, he was racking his brain to think about the person who had sent that group of people to follow him.
He pondered for a long time but to no avail. How can I know which one is it? Iâve got too many enemies!
Nonetheless, he decided to go to a desolate alley. However, when he was about to turn the corner and head into the backstreet, someone pulled him by his arm and dragged him to the main street.
A fragrant smell wafted into his nose, and he turned his head in surprise, only to see Giselleâs pretty side profile beside him.
She eyed him nervously and said in a hushed voice, âThere is a group of men trailing you. You should follow me to a crowded place.â
He went silent for a moment before nodding in reply.
Actually, he planned to lure those men to the alley and beat them up, but Giselle had disrupted his plan.
Although he was a tad upset, he did not have the heart to reject her act of kindness.
With her eyebrows furrowed deeply, she asked, âWho did you mess with?â
Seeing her frown, he quickly said, âAh, donât furrow your brows. Iâm okay. Donât worry about it. No one can hurt me. I can fight well.â He punched the air playfully.
His action instantly brought a smile onto her once-gloomy face. âItâd never crossed my mind that youâre a good fighter. Haha. But since you said that youâre good at it, Iâll believe you then.â
âTrust me. Those guys mean nothing to me,â he said, turning around to find those men again, but she immediately clutched his arm and coaxed, âFine. I know youâre very powerful, but Iâm worried that you might get hurt.â
