Chapter 7

He clumsily lifted the glass to my lips.

I wasn't paying attention, and the cold liquor trickled down the corner of my mouth onto his well-defined fingers.

He shivered, looking at me somewhat embarrassedly.

His eyes held an indescribable emotion.

In the dim light, his tall, muscular frame was barely visible, but I couldn't take my eyes off him.

As we were leaving, I tossed a business card to the handsome young man.

He called out "Big sis!" and waved goodbye reluctantly.

"We'll meet again," he said.

I've never been good with alcohol, but tonight I had a few extra drinks.

As soon as I stepped outside, the cold wind hit me, and I stumbled.

My sister had disappeared with one of the guys, leaving me alone to stumble back to the bathroom.

I hugged the toilet bowl and threw up for a while, which cleared my head a bit.

A familiar voice came from the next stall.

"Sophia, I heard your ex-boyfriend got divorced?"

Sophia Williams let out a cold laugh and said:

"Yeah, if I hadn't heard he inherited his grandfather's hundred-billion-dollar fortune, who would bother with used goods like him?"

"True, Sophia, you've never been one to use second-hand things."

I stayed hidden in the bathroom stall.

In my previous life, I never heard about Jack Sullivan inheriting a fortune. Could he be using this to win back his true love?

There was another possibility - the so-called inheritance could be my money.

I was such a fool.

Thankfully, in this life, I didn't let him into the company.

And I didn't give him a penny.

I only gave him a small allowance each month, out of pity.

The gossip continued.

Sophia chuckled and went on:

"But now there's a tricky problem. His ex-wife turns out to be Mia Coleman."

"Who? Your high school bestie? I remember she had a crush on Jack Sullivan back then."

"That bitch Mia Coleman, whatever she wants, I have to take it from her," Sophia said through gritted teeth.

Back then, Sophia was our high school beauty queen, stunningly gorgeous even at sixteen.

I was quiet and unsociable.

She approached me, giving me my only friend in high school.

When I liked Jack Sullivan, she encouraged me to persist.

Sophia was outgoing and straightforward. She helped me gather a lot of intel on Jack Sullivan back then.

At that time, rumors were flying around school that the beauty queen Sophia Williams and the heartthrob Jack Sullivan were getting close, and must be dating.
