Chapter 108
Jenny couldn’t help but scoff, “There’s no need to be polite with you.
“Jenny, I was wrong. I won’t complain if you blame me. But this time, I genuinely want to apologize to you…. Will you forgive me?” Clara’s tears streamed down her face.
Tiffany tugged at Jenny, who reluctantly sat back down.
“You both know that the school has revoked my scholarship. My life is really difficult right now, and I can’t always rely on my boyfriend… I’m paying for this meal with my own hard–earned money,” Clara said. She bit her lip, looking extremely aggrieved.
Tiffany and Jenny had also heard about Clara’s scholarship being revoked. Their expressions softened slightly.
“I’ll do anything you ask if you can forgive me. Jenny, I know you’ve been through a lot lately. I’m willing to tell the director that it was me who spread rumors on the bulletin board, and it had nothing to do with you. I just hope you won’t ignore me,” Clara pleaded.
Jenny turned her head away, perhaps because Clara’s words had moved her. After all, their relationship had been the closest over the past three years. They wouldn’t have ended up like this if Clara hadn’t thrown her under the bus in front of the program director last time, confirming her as the one spreading rumors.
“Clara, we’ll forgive you if you really go and tell the director that it was you who spread the rumors,” Tiffany said. She was more practical, and wouldn’t just listen to Clara’s hollow promises.
Clara seemed determined and said, “Okay, I’ll go tell the director it was me who did that. I just hope you’ll forgive me.”
The two stopped their sarcastic remarks after seeing Clara’s serious expression. Maeve couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow as she witnessed this scene. It seemed that Clara still had some tricks up her sleeve. But lies were lies after all, and they would eventually be exposed.
Maeve asked with great concem, “I heard there’s a jewelry banquet hosted by the Hacketts tonight?”
“Yeah, seems like
ke it,” “Sheldon was indifferent to these events as long as Levi was in charge.
“I remember Jenny and Tiffany, their families own small businesses, right?”
“Not sure, I’m not interested,” Sheldon said nonchalantly. He continued asking only because Maeve seemed interested in the matter, “Are you planning to investigate them?”
“Not really, I want to ask for your help,” Maeve said.
“You need my help?” Sheldon rolled up his sleeves and asked, “Do you want me to stand up for you, or…?”
“I need you to have someone help me deliver two invitations.”
Sheldon was caught off guard, he frowned slightly, “Just that?”
“Just that.”
Maeve felt satisfied with this meal. Sheldon, on the other hand, felt extremely frustrated. As the second son of the Hacketts, he was asked for help just to deliver two banquet invitations?
Though it sounded that way, Sheldon had someone efficiently handle it in the afternoon.
In the evening, Maeve intentionally chose an evening dress for the banquet. The burgundy dress she wore wasn’t extravagant or luxurious, but it was certainly eye–catching.
