Chapter 396

Rowena paused, then answered honestly, “Yeah, he said his name is Sean Lecter. You saved him, and he came to thank you.” She glanced at Winifred’s face. Seeing her calm expression, Rowena asked carefully, “So… what’s your relationship with him?”

“Nothing, really. I just happened to save him, and his family already gave me money as thanks. If he comes by again, just tell him not to waste his time,” Winifred replied flatly.

Hearing that, Rowena smiled and leaned closer. “Alright…”

After Amber started college, she made many new friends. Claire, feeling a little jealous, slyly pointed out that Amber was almost forgetting about her.

Amber put her hands on her hips and huffed, “You’re the one forgetting about me! Claire, ever since you got a boyfriend, you’ve stopped hanging out with me.”

Claire considered how lovey-dovey she’d been with her boyfriend lately and realized she had been neglecting Amber. She gave an awkward smile and threw her arm around Amber. “Amber, I know I messed up. Why don’t we go get some barbecue tonight?”

Amber shook her head. “Nah, I’m going home.”

Claire looked confused. “Every single day after class, you go straight home. Your sister isn’t due yet, is she? I mean, there’s still like four months to go, right?”

“That’s quite important. I’m not talking about this anymore. Bye,” Amber said, waving goodbye.

Amber waved and waited for her chauffeur, but he never showed up. Feeling puzzled, she pulled out her phone to call him—just then, a black car pulled up.

The window rolled down—it was Hudson.

Amber kept her face blank, looked away, and stepped aside.

Hudson said, “No need to wait. Your chauffeur got a flat tire. Hop in. I’ll take you home. I’m heading over to see your sister anyway.”

Amber shot back coldly, “No, thanks! I’ll get a cab.”

Hudson tapped his fingers on the steering wheel, giving her a half-smile. “Amber, what are you so afraid of? I’m not going to eat you.”

“Afraid? Me? What’s there to be afraid of? I just don’t like you, get it?” Amber huffed, full of annoyance.

Amber let out a cold snort, her face full of disdain.

“Hey!” Hudson was getting annoyed, gripping the steering wheel tighter. Not a single word from this girl was ever what he wanted to hear.

Just as they were bickering, a group of people surrounded a guy and cheered him on. The boy, blushing furiously, held out a bouquet of roses and confessed, “Amber, I like you. Will you be my girlfriend?”

Amber froze, still processing, when suddenly, the guy was sent flying by a kick.

“Hudson, what the hell are you doing? How can you just hit him? Are you insane?” Amber yelled, completely freaked out.

“The nuts, or what?” she thought, utterly stunned.

Hudson shot the guy a murderous glare, looking like he wanted to skin him alive. How dare he confess to her right in front of me? he fumed.

“Who… who are you? What gives you the right to hit me?” the guy gasped, each breath agonizing.

Amber shoved Hudson hard. “Hudson, what are you doing? Apologize to my classmate right now!”

Hudson pointed at the boy on the ground, his face livid. “So this is your type?”

Amber’s voice cracked as she yelled, “Who I like is none of your business, Hudson! You psycho, get the hell out of here!”

Hudson flung open the car door, grabbed several thick wads of cash—probably over thirty thousand—and threw them at the guy’s head. “Get lost!”

Then, without another word, he grabbed Amber’s hand and shoved her into the car.

Amber panicked, pounding on the window. “Hudson! You psycho, what do you think you’re doing? Let me out! I don’t want to go with you!”

Hudson quickly got in and locked the doors.
