“You see, I am pure and flawless, elegant and charming, admired and pursued by countless young girls, but you actually pretended to be my girlfriend. This is simply tarnishing my good name, making everyone think that I’m already taken! What if, in the future, I can’t get a wife? What if I can’t have children? What if I end up alone for my whole life?”
Damn!
Ivy White heard this and staggered, almost falling right onto the ground.
Damn it!
She’d seen shameless people before, but never anyone who treated shamelessness as their daily bread!
You, elegant and charming?
People think you’re already taken?
I spit blood in your face!
What made Ivy White even angrier was that this bastard was blaming her for him not being able to have children or find a wife.
With your level of shamelessness, does your mommy even know?
However, this was just the beginning. Next, Evan Clark put on a solemn face, started counting on his fingers, and began to calculate in all seriousness:
“In summary, you need to compensate me for reputation loss: 388, ‘already taken’ fee: 234, emotional damage: 226, can’t get a wife fee: 178, can’t have children fee: 392, chastity damage: 416… @%#¥…”
Listening to Evan Clark seriously calculating all these bizarre fees, Ivy White felt like her head was about to explode:
“Shut up! Fine! Evan Clark, you… you’re ruthless!”
Ivy White was as furious as a little lion, glaring at Evan Clark, her face flushed with anger:
“Just say it! How much do you want me to pay you?”
“Uh… a total of 1,938.87 yuan!” Evan Clark said with a cheeky grin.
Hearing that he’d even calculated down to the last two decimal places, Ivy White felt like a herd of wild horses was stampeding through her mind.
She immediately pulled out her pink wallet, took out a wad of cash, and slapped it hard onto Evan Clark’s face.
Whoosh!
Red bills flew everywhere.
But Evan Clark didn’t care at all. He picked them up one by one, wetting his fingers and counting each bill, looking every bit the petty street vendor.
Finally, with a sly grin, he said:
“This is two thousand!”
After saying that, Evan Clark dug around in his pocket, finally pulling out a handful of change and coins:
“Here! Your change: 61 yuan and 1 jiao 3 fen!”
Ivy White: “……”
She glanced at the money in Evan Clark’s hand and, speechless, realized that he really did have exactly 1 jiao and 3 fen in coins—no more, no less.
“You… you scoundrel!!!”
Ivy White was so angry she was at a loss for words. She snatched the pile of change and hurled it at Evan Clark’s face, then turned and stormed off.
Seeing this, Evan Clark shook his head and sighed:
“Tsk tsk! What a waste! That’s over 61 yuan—enough for me to use Yu Fei once and unlock 10 different positions!”
Thud!
Ivy White, who had just walked a short distance away, heard this and fell right into the bushes.
Climbing up in embarrassment, Ivy White cursed under her breath as she fled in a panic.
But as soon as Ivy White had gone a little further, she suddenly stopped in her tracks, her delicate brows furrowing slightly:
“Wait! That guy did it on purpose!”
Only at this moment did Ivy White realize:
“In these past three days, all the aquatic life in the rivers around Jiang City has died. It definitely has something to do with this guy! And, he said before that my grandpa was about to die! I originally wanted to get close to him and ask him about it, but…”
Now that she understood, Ivy White shivered involuntarily.
The reason she helped Evan Clark out of the situation, and even publicly claimed to be his girlfriend, was because the Bai family had instructed her to get close to Evan Clark.
Especially since Old Master Bai suspected that the recent mass death of aquatic life in the rivers around Jiang City was related to Evan Clark.
And, this guy had previously said her grandpa was about to die!
All of this was what Ivy White had wanted to investigate, but she never imagined that from beginning to end, she had been led by the nose by Evan Clark.
The other party had used shameless tactics to drive her away—could it be that he had already seen through her intentions?
Thinking of this, Ivy White felt a chill run through her, as if she had fallen into an ice cellar. If that was really the case, then this guy’s scheming was unfathomable—truly terrifying.
After figuring all this out, Ivy White hurriedly ran back, but when she returned to the original spot, she found that Evan Clark was already long gone.
In the bushes nearby, a wad of bright red bills was scattered all over the ground—the same two thousand she had given Evan Clark earlier, now tossed aside like trash.
As expected!
Seeing this, Ivy White’s pretty face turned pale.
Only now did she realize that Evan Clark didn’t care about money at all, and his earlier petty behavior was all an act, just to avoid her and make her dislike him.
“This guy…”
It had to be said, at this moment, a bitter smile appeared at the corner of Ivy White’s mouth, and her curiosity about Evan Clark grew even stronger.
“I won’t give up so easily. I have to find out who you really are, and what secrets you’re hiding!!!”
Chapter 8: No, no, no! You heard wrong!
Senior Year, Class 2!
When Evan Clark walked to the door of Senior Year, Class 2, he immediately heard a noisy buzz of discussion coming from inside.
