Chapter 149


    Today, Andre caught sight of a couple on their way to work while waiting for the traffic light. The girl was


    sipping coffee as they walked, while the guy chatted andughed with her.


    Seeing this, Andre couldn''t help butpare it to his own rtionship with his lovely wife.


    He remembered his wife was particrly keen on having coffee, going on dates, watching movies, and


    travelling with him!


    These activities were generally easy to arrange, except now he was too caught up with work and Mia


    was too busy with her studies to take a break for a trip. So, their travel ns were put on hold for now.


    Upon reaching the office, he began searching for movie info on his phone.


    Andre dialed the inte, "Alice,e to my office."


    Alice rushed to the CEO''s office, thinking there was something urgent. "Mr. Cedillo, you called for me?"


    Andre, holding his phone, asked, "What kind of movies do you girls like?"


    Alice was taken aback, unsure of what to say.


    So, all the rush was about helping him pick a movie for his wife?


    Text property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org.


    "The new romantic movie is said to be good. Girls usually like newly released movies."


    Andre immediately bought two movie tickets.


    "Mr. Cedillo, do you need to book the whole theater?"


    Andre declined, "Mia wouldn''t like it."


    He had his own little scheme. If he booked the entire theater, Mia would keep a certain distance from


    him.


    At a packed cinema, she''d have nowhere to escape and would have to sit next to him.


    Having bought the tickets, Andre was looking forward to the day.


    He nced at Mia and Leo''s ss schedule and found out they didn''t have many sses today, so


    they could get home early.


    Andre was already nning how to surprise his wife.


    However, the surprise Mia had prepared for him was already on its way.


    After school in the afternoon, a guy peeked into the ssroom.


    Only after making sure that the scary man from yesterday wasn''t there, this guy named Eaton walked


    in.


    He had changed his clothes, looked well groomed, and even wore perfume.


    When he approached the trio, they all covered their noses.


    "Good Lord, what cologne is that?" Jade couldn''t help but ask.


    "Armani, don''t you like it?"


    Jade bluntly asked, "Did you buy a fake?"


    The same cologne smelled subtle and nice on her brother, which she liked. But the one this guy was


    wearing either was too strong and irritating or was a fake of poor quality.


    Eaton sniffed his arm awkwardly, "Uh, sorry. I was in a hurry to see you and didn''t control the amount I


    sprayed."


    Leo knew right away, this guy was a pro at picking up girls.


    "Jade, this is ssic pick-up lines. Don''t fall for it."


    Eaton gave an awkward smile, he was about to try asking Jade out again, but his words were blocked


    before he could even say them.


    Mia said, "Are you here to ask Jade out again? How many people do you ask out at once? Call your


    other three girlfriends here, let''s all hang out together. How about that?"


    "What you just said…"


    "Didn''t your teacher tell you that the school principal has been reced?" Mia, who was in a bad mood,


    exploded at the annoying guy in front of her, using the principal status her husband gave her to


    intimidate her ssmate.


    Eaton swallowed nervously, stuttering, "What you just said about three girlfriends, I don''t know what


    you mean. I''ve always liked Jade."


    Jade was scared.


    She immediately interrupted him and quickly drew a line between them in front of everyone.


    "Eaton, we''ve only exchanged a few words in the club. You better not associate with me.


    I''m afraid yourw school girlfriend will sue me, she''s studyingw.


    I''m also afraid the freshman girl in our club will create trouble for me, using me of seducing her


    boyfriend.


    And, if your girlfriend from the bar can''t find you, she mighte to school and bully me."


    Jade''s words were sharp and sarcastic, pointing out Eaton''s behaviour in just a few sentences.


    The whole ss started to buzz with discussion again.


    When Jade finished, Eaton was already struggling to control his emotions.


    His pursuit of Jade was also because they were in the same club, making it convenient to get close to


    her. Plus, she was very close to Mia and Leo.


    Although he didn''t know about Jade''s family situation, the fact that she had such a close rtionship


    with these two was enough reason for him to pursue her.


    If he could sessfully win over Jade next year, he could use her rtionship to get Mia to go home


    and tell her husband Andre to agree to let him intern at Cedillo Inc. With this connection, he could


    continue to develop his career at thepany, which would be a bright future.


    In addition, Jade was currently a recognized beauty in school. If he could win her over, his reputation in


    school would not be inferior to Leo''s. Being able to show off such a beautiful girl as his girlfriend would


    be a great pride for a man.


    So, he began to create opportunities to interact with Jade.


    When Mia was the school belle, he knew she was very pretty, but it would be difficult for her to be


    his girlfriend.


    Because he didn''t know Mia, and pursuing her wouldn''t bring any additional value.


    Luckily, he didn''t pursue Mia.


    If Andre found out that someone had been coveting his wife, being expelled from school would be the


    least of his worries, he might even be in danger of losing his life.


    Luckily, he managed to save his own life.


    Last night, he also investigated Jade''s brother, Chad, who turned out to be a cop.


    In Eaton''s eyes, this guy was just a small cop, so he wasn''t that afraid of him anymore.


    But when he got to the ssroom, a sudden pain in his shoulder reminded him that although Jade''s


    brother didn''t have much power, he was good at fighting, so he carefully checked that he wasn''t there


    before he dared to appear.


    He hadn''t even asked Jade out yet, and the trio had already aimed their shots at him.


    What''s even more terrifying is that they knew about the disgraceful things he was doing behind the


    scenes!


    "Don''t think that by changing your phone number or WhatsApp ount and then dating so many girls


    online at the same time, my bro won''t find out. As long as your appearance and identity information


    remain the same, no matter where you do your dirty deeds, Chad can find evidence."


    Despite her grudges against her own brotherst night, she still believes that as a member of the Byrne


    family, she must show her brother''s abilities and prestige to the outside world.


    Gossips are already buzzing around the school''s forum...


    Jade seemed particrly keen toy bare the man''s deceit today. She persisted, "Every single time,


    you''re scrimping and depending on women to foot the bill. You balk at even shelling out for a hotel


    room. Given that you can barelyst an hour in a short-stay ce, it''s evident you''re inept sexually. If


    you''re that inadequate, stop parading around trying to impress."


    Eaton teetered on the edge of a breakdown. Gazing at Jade''s self-satisfied expression, he was itching


    to strike back.


    Meanwhile, the online forum was in uproar. Rumors circted about a male student at the school


    juggling rtionships with three different women concurrently: aw student, a freshman, and a girl


    he''d met at a bar.


    The guy is sexually incapable, doesn''t even pay for hotels when staying with women, is this true love?


    …


    Finally, the three who caused all these heated discussions didn''t say anything more, they picked up


    their bags and walked out with swagger.
