Her fingertips trembled slightly as she slowly clenched her fist. Yayoi had a sore nose and her eyes
turned red. She stared blankly at the handsome face that was deeply engraved in her mind and asked,
"Hallie, it's you. Why don't you recognize me?"
Hot tears rolled down her face.
She cried.
Damari felt choked. He looked down at the ground and covered up the heartache that flashed through
his eyes.
"I'm sorry”
After a cold sentence, he turned around and no longer looked at her.
Hazel looked at him thoughtfully. Then, she looked at Yayoi with her eyes slightly narrowed, revealing a
trace of coldness.
"Yayoi, as your classmate, I'm telling you that Damari is not someone you can approach. If you did this
again, I wouldn't hold it back.”
Ignoring Yayoi's pale face, Hazel held Damari’s arm and walked away.
Yayoi stood there and watched as they left together, and her vision gradually blurred.
Shortly after Yayoi left, Maddox stood up and chased after her.
When he saw her walking towards a man and woman, he slowed down and stopped a distance away
from them. He hid in the darkness and watched quietly.
He saw everything and had a rough understanding of their conversation.
The message was that the man was an acquaintance of Yayoi, but the man did not admit it, and Yayoi
was very sad.
He was very unhappy to hear her call him "Hallie" so intimately.
Thus, he endured his displeasure and waited until he saw the man and woman leave before walking
over.
Only when he approached did he realize that Yayoi was crying.
His questioning words were held back.
He stared at her for a while and saw her crying non-stop. He sighed resignedly, "He has left. What's the
use of crying for him?"
As soon as these words were spoken, it was like a flame igniting a firework.
Yayoi exploded.
She fiercely shouted at Maddox, "It's none of your business. Why do you care? I'm not crying for you
anyway.
Maddox froze for a moment, and then his face turned cold. Even though he liked her, being treated like
this still hurt his self-esteem.
"Yayoi, do you think I like to care about you? If..." If I didn't like you, I wouldn't even look at you.
He didn't say the latter half, because he knew that she would disdain him if he did.
He smiled self-deprecatingly. Without saying anything else, he turned around and left.
Her cries came intermittently into his ears from behind, like a hammer hitting his heart, giving him a
mild pain.
He paused and chuckled, and his laughter carried a trace of loneliness. He couldn't bear to see her cry.
When he returned to her side, her delicate makeup had been drenched in tears, and she looked
extremely miserable.
His heart ached. He raised his hand and gently stroked the tears off her face with his finger.
She glared at him with teary eyes. "What are you doing here?"
Because she cried so hard, her voice was hoarse, but her tone was still so impolite.
Maddox's eyes twitched slightly, and the movements on his hands were even gentler. "I can't bear to
part with you.”
It sounded like a casual "I can't bear to part with you’, but it contained his indulgence towards her.
Yayoi sniffled and pretended to be disdainful. "It's useless for you to play this trick.”
Maddox paused and looked straight into her tearful eyes. He hesitated and asked, “Is he the person
you like?"
He? Yayoi froze for a moment, and then realized who he was referring to.
She put down his hand that was wiping her tears. "Yes, that's the person I like.”
Maddox narrowed his eyes and continued to ask, "Is that why you refused to be with me?"
"That's right.” Without the slightest hesitation, she immediately replied.
Maddox clenched his hands and his eyes turned cold. He smiled mockingly and said, "So it's really me
who is fantasizing.’
Yayoi raised her hand to wipe away the tears that kept falling, and pursed her lips. "That's right, you've
always been fantasizing, it's not too late for you to realize it.”
The two looked at each other quietly. After a long time, Maddox silently turned around and left without
saying a word.
This time, he really left.
After he turned around, Yayoi closed her eyes and covered the pain contained in them, allowing tears
to overflow.
Maddox, I'm sorry. Please forgive me for being insincere.
Even if she loved him, it was something she could not obtain.
In that case, it was better to let go.
Along with the conclusion of the Grand Ceremony, all kinds of news was spread.
Surprisingly, the ideal man Bertram showed up and won the Grand Award of the Year.
Alfred hinted that the good news was imminent.
Famous director...
Almost every major media website covered news about yesterday's Grand Ceremony.
The most popular news was not about Bertram or Alfred, but Rorey.
Whether it was the media website or the commercial social media account, they all had her news on it,
as if they had made an agreement.
The content of the news was almost the same, with photographs of Rorey attending the Grand
Ceremony.
In the first photo, Rorey was covered with a veil and her appearance could not be seen.
In the second photo, the veil fell off. Rorey's face was filled with horror and ferocity. She could not be
recognized as Rorey at all.
The third picture was about her normal appearance.
And the content of the news was almost all about "disfigured", and it was written with acerbity and
mockery.
It triggered netizens’ satire and schadenfreude.
"This is karma, observable karma!"
"Rorey's current look matches her vicious heart."
"My heart ached for Young Master Yunis. How could he kiss such an ugly face?”
Rorey seemed to have become a public enemy of the netizens. The comments were almost all about
scolding her. Even if there were people who spoke up for her, they were instantly overwhelmed.
Very quickly, Rorey's disfigured face, and heartache for Yunis hit the trending.
Regarding this situation, Juliet was quite satisfied.
As for Rosiley, she looked at the one-sided comments on the Internet, and she no longer felt joyful.
Juliet was puzzled. "Didn't you feel joyous, Rosiley?"
Rosiley shrugged. "Actually, not so much. I think this method might not have any effect on a person like
Rorey whose skin is as thick as a wall.”
She did not exaggerate. Rorey really had a thick skin. If she didn't, would she rob someone else's
fiancé or even snatch other people's property?
"Is that so?” Juliet was very excited when she saw the netizens laughing at Rorey, but after Rosiley
said this, her heart instantly turned cold.
