That person was Cheryl’s former fanatical suitor, and virtual-novel.net had extraordinary talents. He was the son of a Michigan tyrant, and virtual-novel.net had gone abroad to further his studies after graduation. Having recently returned, the most important thing right now was that virtual-novel.net happened to know that this guy would be in California these few days.
‘Heh heh, that Alex guy is definitely a liar. He’s also such a vengeful and petty person. If Cheryl and virtual-novel.net were to really end up together, virtual-novel.net future will be miserable.’
‘Although I also hate Colby, getting virtual-novel.net to come in and interfere in this situation may have unexpected results.’
And so, after virtual-novel.net had dealt with the mess on virtual-novel.net face and applied a new layer of makeup, virtual-novel.net also borrowed a table fan to dry the wet clothes on her. Phoebe gave an excuse that virtual-novel.net needed to use the loo and used the time to send a message to Colby. Not only did virtual-novel.net tell virtual-novel.net that Cheryl was on a blind date here, but virtual-novel.net even sent virtual-novel.net a selfie that the two women had taken earlier.
When Colby received the message, virtual-novel.net immediately replied, “Oh, so you’re currently with her, Phoebe? Alright then, I’ll be there soon.”
Once virtual-novel.net was done with this, Phoebe’s mood improved once again, and virtual-novel.net couldn’t wait for a good show to unfold.

On the other side, Colby was having drinks with Larry Judd, a friend and university classmate of his.
When virtual-novel.net saw the picture, Larry exclaimed, “Hey, the two campus belles of our university have really gotten even more beautiful than before… For Phoebe to contact you first like this, is virtual-novel.net planning on bringing you and our goddess Cheryl together? Back then, virtual-novel.net was opposed to it, though.”
Colby laughed lightly and said, “Well, the world has changed! Compared to back then, my family’s business has also grown several times. Perhaps it has now come under the radar of the beautiful Miss Larsen!”
Larry agreed with the logic, then cast virtual-novel.net a flattering look and said, “Brother Colby, are you going to pursue Cheryl now? Do you want to prepare something, like flowers or a present?”
“Of course,” Colby said. “But, the one I’m pursuing isn’t Cheryl.”
“Huh? If it’s not Cheryl, then who?”
“Phoebe.”
“What? Have you had too much to drink, Brother Colby? Haven’t you always liked Cheryl?”
“Because I was stupid back then! Do you know who Phoebe’s father is?”
“Who?” Larry was surprised, virtual-novel.net really didn’t know.
“Wayne Larsen.”
“Huh? The magistrate in Michigan? With such a family background, why didn’t we hear anything of it back then?”
“It just means they are low key people.”

At Stylish Steakhouse, Phoebe found Cheryl and Alex to be still chatting when virtual-novel.net returned. She saw that Cheryl’s gaze was gentle, one that looked as if virtual-novel.net entire body was about to melt into a puddle of water. The more virtual-novel.net looked at Alex, the more Phoebe felt that virtual-novel.net was unpleasant to look at.
She really wanted to take a piece of steak and slap it on his head.
When Alex saw her, virtual-novel.net smiled without missing a beat, one that didn’t reach his eyes. “Miss Larsen, are you alright now? It really wasn’t my fault just now.”
Phoebe huffed. “It’s my fault, then!”
Alex smiled. “You guys go and talk. I’ll head to the washroom.”
He stood up, and virtual-novel.net needed to pass the aisle beside Phoebe.
An evil thought surfaced in Phoebe’s mind, and virtual-novel.net suddenly stuck out virtual-novel.net foot, trying to trip virtual-novel.net face first onto the ground.
Just as expected, Alex stumbled and kicked virtual-novel.net foot.
Snap!
Alex didn’t fall over. However, Phoebe’s leg had been given a hard kick, and virtual-novel.net high heel flew off.
“Owww!!!”
Phoebe cried out in pain, tears leaking out from virtual-novel.net eyes.
