Chapter 156: Wave Of Jealousy

(QN: I’ll agree something paragraphs sound cringe.)C

Sitting next to their dates or either sipping a drink, every girl in sight felt their hearts skip a beat the moment their eyes landed on Miles.

’Impossible.’

A certain person who was prideful and spectating the lively scene almost stood up in shock the moment he recognized Miles.

Nearby, all the girls glanced at the recent arrivals. Eyes darting towards Miles first, then to Chloe with a feeling of inferiority etched in their hearts because of her boobs.

At one corner, Josephine stopped taking pictures with her friends and froze when they all noticed Miles.

’Miles?’

She said in her heart, feeling her chest become heavy with jealousy the moment she took notice of the beauty whose arm was interlocked with him.

’How can she—’

Suppressing her emotions, she forced herself to turn away while secretly casting a few glances in that direction.

Surrounding one of the large tables, the Hayes triplets—Alice, Allison, and Alisha—and the new addition Jazmín, with some other guys, weren’t excluded from noticing, especially Alice, Allison, and Jazmín.

However, the one who felt the biggest wave in her heart was Allison when she saw Chloe’s big-busted chest, beauty, outfit, and figure.

Her eyes were filled with complicated feelings, recalling her last interaction with Miles.

’No wonder he didn’t hesitate to be rude.’

With a beautiful girl like Chloe, Miles truly had nothing to lose; she would never beat Chloe.

’Perhaps, I shouldn’t have talked to him like that,’ she thought, beginning to regret her previous attitude.

"Allison. Take this."

Suddenly the boy beside her, her boyfriend, reached out to pour her more drink with a self-evident smile that showed he wanted to get her drunk.

A bit disgusted, Allison winked at Alisha.

There was also the likes of Britney and Lena who wanted to approach but stopped because of Chloe.

’Miles and Chloe? Never seen them together before, when did this start?’

This thought was shared by countless students.

Just then, a figure dressed in a shiny lace gown with a tiara walked towards them.

It was Rachael, the main course dish of tonight’s events, dressed as a princess.

"... Miles? Rachael, thank you for coming tonight."

After struggling to recall his name, she smiled and actually leaned in for a hug.

’What’s with the change, bitch?’

Stunned, Miles cursed at her and lightly wrapped one arm around her waist, pulling away as swift as possible.

’Phew.’

He heaved a sigh of relief when he noticed Chloe’s expression didn’t change.

Leaning for an equal hug with Chloe, they separated and Miles spoke up.

"Happy Birthday, Rachael," he smiled, whilst Chloe’s eyes froze and she instinctively clenched his arm, unconsciously expressing her panic.

’Oh no! I was trying my best to look good for him that I actually forgot to bring her a gift.’

Chloe inwardly began to panic. Just as she was on the brink of feeling ashamed, Miles held her arm briefly and proceeded to bring out a little wrapped gift from the pocket of his jacket.

"May your heart’s desire come true. Our little gift," Miles said as he handed her the little wrapped box.

While Rachael froze for a split second at the utterance of those words.

’If only you know what my heart desires. He just keeps rejecting our bookings.’

She thought back to the masculine back of the masseur that fucked the brains out of her body, wishing her desire to experience that same thing could come to pass.

"Thank you."

Instinctively clenching her thighs to hold back the moisture that had gathered there, she smiled and collected the box.

"Hmmm."

Humming a nod, Miles held Chloe’s arm as they moved towards a large, unoccupied VIP table.

Rachael moved to welcome Theo and the rest, exchanging a brief handshake as she collected their gifts.

"Don’t worry. That’s a teacher’s monthly salary," Miles whispered, easing Chloe’s worries, and she nodded shyly.

’Now that I think about it, I feel scammed for ordering such a simple gold & silver chain for four grand.’

"Here."

Miles signaled at the boys who seemed hesitant in sitting around the table.

In a corner, at this moment, Tyler’s eyes glinted dangerously as he stared at Miles. Beside him, the rest of the crew were nowhere to be seen.

Turning a little burner phone, he secretly leaned in, and a voice came from the phone.

"He caused quite a commotion. I can’t believe that siscon Billy let him ask his sister out to a party."

"Yeah, he’s seated but has quite the attention on him. What should I do?"

"Hmm, just find a way to make him come out unnoticed."

"Okay. That’ll be hard."

"Just do it. He’s spent quite a lot to make this happen. If you don’t want to be the scapegoat, then you better do it."

"Got it."

Tyler’s expression was beyond grim at Chris’s last words.

Things had spiraled further than what they first budgeted.

Thinking about the fact that they were about to commit murder for real this time, Tyler felt nervous. Raising his gaze towards Miles’s clueless figure as they were served dessert and two bottles of vodka, his eyes became determined.

’You’re a ticking time bomb. I have to do this.’

"Oh man."

The clique was visibly nervous due to this being their first time at a birthday party, except for Miles.

"Here, drink up."

His eyes scanned the girls in the pool, instantly locating the three he had blackmailed. They were already glancing in this direction, having already found their targets.

Pouring everyone a half cup of vodka, Miles smiled and leaned back in his seat to signal to Theo.

(Move in ten minutes. Your surprise will come for you.)

Although he wasn’t one to condone cheating, he didn’t mind ruining their relationships with cheating because high school love was a fairy tale.

However, just as they drank their first gulp, earnestly trying to keep their composure from the taste, a figure approached them and drew the attention of everyone present.

"Hi there."
