Boyce walked to the office building with doubts in his mind and found the principal's office. When he
raised his hand and prepared to knock on the door, he heard Wendy’s voice.
“What makes you look for me?” The voice that spoke was that of a woman, the daughter of the
principal, who was very close to Wendy.
“Can’t I come to you if I have nothing to do?” Wendy’s voice doesn’t sound energetic.
“What’s happened? Aren’t you having a good relationship with your boyfriend?” The principal's
daughter could see that Wendy’s expression didn’t seem good.
Wendy nodded her head, “We might break up.”
She didn’t dare to argue with Boyce as she was afraid that he knew her dark past which was something
scandalous that she didn’t dare to disclose.
She could only give up this relationship even though she was unwilling to do so.
“Hasn’t that girl called Jasmine Burke already left City B? Wasn't she reviewing herself and was
embarrassed in front of all the teachers and students in school last time? How dare she have the
shame to compete with you for a man?”
“No, she is a stupid woman.” Wendy had no idea that Jasmine had already returned and even returned
together with Boyce.
It was a wise move where Boyce had arranged for Jasmine to stay at Matthew Nelson’s house
because Wendy had suspected and purposely went to Boyce’s house, but she couldn't find anyone
there.
The reason why she came to school was also to make sure if Jasmine had come back again, but it
turned out she was not here at school either.
“I think that girl is pretty smart, why has she become foolish?” The principal’s daughter asked with a
smile.
Wendy was close to her, so she spoke directly, “Do you know that she even looked for me before she
left?”
“Huh, why did she look for you?”
“She had low self-esteem. She thought she would hinder Boyce and said that Boyce and I can have a
good future if both of us are together. She hoped that I would treat him well. In fact, I also want to treat
him well, but he has changed his mind now.” Wendy was furious once she recalled Boyce’s tough
attitude. “Was his brain damaged when he drowned for a while? He clearly promised to go out with me
before, and then now he wants to break up with me right after he comes back and tells me that we’re
not suitable for each other and that he doesn't like me.”
“Maybe it’s true that he doesn’t like you.” The principal’s daughter laughed.
“I’m disgusted.” Wendy pretended that she was angry.
Boyce was standing erect outside the door. Even though his face remained expressionless, his heart
was filled with emotions.
It turned out to be Wendy was the one who made him come to school and ran into Jasmine when she
was reviewing herself in front of all the teachers and students.
The reason why Jasmine chose to leave him was that she was afraid of holding him back.
Suddenly he felt that the girl was too silly.
It’s heart-breaking to know her silliness.
Luckily, he had known all about it and would be able to take good care of her in the future.
He clenched his hands and repeated it several times until his body relaxed considerably. He raised his
hand and knocked on the door.
“Who is this?” The principal's daughter froze for a moment when she saw it was Boyce after she
opened the door.
Wendy’s face changed in a flash right after she saw the person who was standing at the door. Perhaps
it was because she had done something wrong and she had a guilty conscience, the first thing that
came to her mind was, ‘When does he come? Does he hear anything?’
“Bo... Boyce, what’re you doing here?” She stood up from the sofa.
Boyce’s face was calm, “I’m here for the principal to discuss something.”
“You may come in, my father has gone for a meeting, and he will come back later.” The principal’s
daughter pulled herself away and let him in.
Boyce stepped in and his eyes rested on Wendy’s face. He thought he knew her well. After all, her
father was such a decent person, she should be like his father too.
At that moment, he realised that he was wrong and it’s ridiculous.
“Are you free? Let’s go outside together and have a few words,” Boyce said. He wanted to take this
opportunity to speak to her clearly.
“You guys can talk here if you have anything to say. I’ll go out first.” The principal’s daughter gave
Wendy a wink, trying to hint that she should take this opportunity to explain.
She then walked out of the office after giving Wendy a hint and closed the office door behind her.
“What… What do you want to talk about with me?” Wendy felt vaguely uneasy.
It was like Boyce was about to have a showdown with him. Nevertheless, she was right in her
perception.
Boyce got right to the point and said, “I unintentionally know why you get divorced.”
Wendy’s body immediately stiffened and she firmly refused, “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
“You understand and know exactly what I’m talking about. It is your business that you’re unwilling to
admit it but it is my business that I know it is a fact. It is unintentional today that I have overheard
something I shouldn’t have. I used to think that you should be a good person but now I just find that I’m
wrong and we’re really not suitable for each other.”
Wendy bit her lip, “You eavesdropped on us.”
“I’ve told you that I didn’t mean to listen.” Boyce sat down, “As long as you promise to break up, I can
keep your secret for the sake of Officer Miller. I’m willing to forgive you once but only this time.”
He said and gazed at her sharply, “Bullying a parentless orphan is despicable.”
Wendy clenched her hands into fists and gritted her teeth, “Are you here for a lesson to me?”
Boyce snorted scornfully, “I’m not your parent so definitely I don’t have the right to lecture you. I just
feel bad for Officer Miller. If he knows what you have done, he must be very sad. Not to mention if he
knows that I am aware of that, he will even feel disgraced. You shall know that your father has always
been open and honest, especially as he is a dignified person.”
Of course, Wendy knew it, which was why she was afraid that her secret had been disclosed.
She clearly understood that she had no way out but to agree to Boyce’s proposal.
“I promise you that we will break up peacefully. However, you must promise that you will not tell
anyone, and the secret must die with you!”
“Sure.”
Boyce agreed immediately.
His purpose was to end his relationship with Wendy, he had no plan to put the situation into a deadlock.
He was willing to keep it a secret even for the sake of Officer Miller.
“I hope you understand that all my tolerance today is for the sake of your father.” Boyce’s expression
was extraordinarily cold and stern. It was the first time Wendy had seen such an expression of Boyce.
Her heart fiercely cringed, then she grabbed her bag on the sofa and ran out.
