The club was for members only, and the annual fee alone cost millions.

Therefore, they couldn’t help but fawn on Jared.

Jared was obviously in a good mood. Tugging at his sleeve, Debbie asked him in a low voice, “Why did

you book a room here? Are you sure you can afford it?”

“Don’t worry. I have my brother’s VIP card. There is at least ten million in it. So, enjoy the night and

help yourself with everything here.” Debbie knew that Jared had an older brother named Damon, but

her impression of him wasn’t exactly positive. Although, she had met him once or twice in passing, she

had Long forgotten what he looked Like in person.

Jared was itching to spend all the money in Damon’s VIP card. In truth, apart from being half brothers

and sharing the same father, they didn’t have a lot in common.

One day, Jared stole the VIP card from his brother’s table when he was passing by Damon’s room.

Debbie had heard about Damon from when Jared used to complain about him to her. From what she

could gather, Damon was always very nice to his younger brother, whereas, Jared would treat Damon

with disdain.

Although it was Jared’s one-sided statement, Debbie could tell that he had been obedient to his older

brother on some occasions.

“Jared, what are you two talking about? Come over here!” One of their classmates urged the two to join

them.

Jared responded in a loud voice, “All right, all right. Scott, you won’t be allowed to leave here until you

have more alcohol than blood running through your body.” All of a sudden, Jared looked at Debbie with

a concerned expression on his face.

“Tomboy, I won’t drink much tonight. You don’t need to drink if you don’t want to.”

This caught Scott’s interest, as he looked at Jared and cheerfully shouted, “Hey bro, what’s up? Are

you two dating or something? Do you have to ask for Debbie’s permission before you drink, huh?”

Debbie and Jared were very popular in their high school. Most of their classmates used to joke about

their relationship. However, the truth was quite far from reality. Although they had been good friends

who trusted each other, that was all their relationship was, a reliable friendship. Apart from that, they

had absolutely no chemistry between them.

Debbie was interested in guys who weren’t afraid of commitments, while she thought Jared was more

of a playboy. On the contrary, Jared thought

Debbie was a tomboy, whereas, he liked winsome coquettes.

They both understood each other very well and agreed that they could only make good friends.

“What? A couple? Come on! Even if we spent the night in the same bed, nothing would happen

between us, besides the usual chatting and fighting.” Jared held the chair out for Debbie like a

gentleman, but the latter cast a reproachful glance at him before sitting down.

In truth, Debbie never enjoyed taking part in these gatherings. Most of the girls chose to isolate her

because she was a pretty girl and the boys liked hanging out with her. Their impression of Debbie was

that of a bitch who was just pretending to be a tomboy to attract boys.

The girls began to speak ill of her amongst themselves in soft murmurs so that Debbie wouldn’t hear

them. But she could tell from their body language and the way they looked at her that they were quietly

conferring about her.

Why didn’t they just say what they had to say to Debbie’s face? Mostly because they were afraid of

being beaten up by her. Besides, they didn’t want to offend Jared. Why didn’t they just keep to

themselves?

They would if they could, but they were so envious of Debbie that they needed some way to vent their

anger on her.

Debbie, however, felt wronged and misunderstood. After all, she had never laid her hands on a girl

before. Even when her cousin, Gail, had given her multiple reasons to hurt her, Debbie refrained from

Laying even a finger on her. Instead, she would let Gail off with just a warning.

It wasn’t like Debbie was afraid of the girls; far from it! The girls wouldn’t even stand a chance in a

fistfight with her. She could easily injure them without even breaking a sweat.

A few moments later, Jared went to the men’s room to clear out the several bottles of beer he had

drunk. Right after he left, the girls started to taunt Debbie because they believed that her arrogance

and power only lasted as long as Jared was with her.

“Even after so many years, she’s still running around after Jared like one of his Lackeys. I guess he’s

not interested in her at all.”
