âMiss, I heard that there is a cafe in Savrow Film Academy that makes really good coffee. Let me buy
you and Ms. Amelia a cup of coffee.â Steven suggested with a smile.
âOkay, you can go and pick Amelia up on the way.â
Bella kept her eyes on the proposal in her hand. âI called her just now, but she didnât answer. Why donât
you go in and call her again later? She doesnât know that we are waiting for her at the back door.â
âOkay.â
Steven got out of the car and walked into the school gate.
As soon as his tall and handsome figure in a neat suit appeared on the school campus, he attracted the
excited and eager eyes of many students around him.
Steven walked into the cafe and ordered two cups of coffee. The waitress was focused on him the
whole time..
At this moment, two female students who were fashionably dressed and wearing big brands walked in.
âHey, have you heard that Amelia Thompson is the female lead for the acting departmentâs graduation
stage play?â
Hearing Ameliaâs name, Steven narrowed his
Steven narrowed his eyes and listened attentively.
âHmph! Itâs her again? Amelia must have gotten the role by going through the back door and doing
something disgraceful with the professor.â
âYeah, I think so too. I just saw her in the garden chatting with one of the popular boys in school. Tsk
tsk! Sheâs such a slut!â
Suddenly, the two gossiping women screamed like chickens, scaring the waitress so much that the
color drained from her face.
Without saying a word, Steven splashed the coffee he was holding at them.
âAre you crazy?! Why did you splash us?!â The girlsâ makeup was smeared, and half of their false
eyelashes fell off.
âAccording to Article 246 of the Criminal Law, the intentional fabrication and dissemination of fictitious
facts that are enough to demean the character and damage the reputation of others is punishable by
law with imprisonment of not more than three years.
Stevenâs eyes were gloomy as he said in a low voice, âYou should be glad that I donât hit women.
Otherwise, you wouldnât be able to walk out of here in one piece.â
One of the girls was trembling with fear, but the other girl argued angrily. âAre you Ameliaâs boyfriend?
Hmph! Instead of venting your anger on us, why donât you go and see the situation yourself?! We only
said that because we saw what happened!â
The garden was at the back of the teaching building.
Amelia was stopped by one of the popular boys in school, Ethan Zaffino.
âEthan, I have told you many times that I donât like you, so I wonât accept your pursuit.â
Amelia looked at the man in front of her coldly and said, âI have an appointment with someone, so I
need to get going.â
âAmelia, do you think Iâm not serious about pursuing you?â
Ethan raised his eyebrows. Regardless of Ameliaâs rejection, Ethan took out a red box from his bag
and opened it in front of her.
Inside was a diamond-encrusted Cartier womenâs watch.
âThis is a gift I specially picked for you. Keep it. As long as you are my girlfriend, I can satisfy you with
sports cars, Hermès bags, or villasâ¦â
As he spoke, he smiled devilishly and licked his lips. âI can satisfy your material needs as well as some
other needs that you may have.â
Although Amelia was innocent, she heard the double entendre. Her whole body shook with anger. Then
she raised her hand and knocked over the box.
Amelia did not even take a look at that expensive watch before it dropped into the mud.
Ethan was a pampered child who had never been rejected before. Thus, he had never been humiliated
like that.
The veins in his neck bulged as he grabbed her wrist. âAmelia! How dare you ruin the things I gave
you? Do you think youâre so noble? Why are you playing hard to get with me?â
âLet go of me, Ethan!â Amelia was flustered as she tried to struggle free.
âHaha⦠I know youâre playing hard-to-get, right? Iâve seen too many women like you who are from
poor families wanting to move up the social ladder by using their good looks.â
Ethanâs other hand was already restlessly touching her waist as he smiled greedily. âYou donât want to
have a bleak future before graduation, right? As long as you are my girlfriend, you will get to pick and
choose any resources you want when you enter the entertainment industry.â
