[Chapter 81]

"What are you doing? Don't be silly, he doesn't look like the person you were talking about. Look at his clothes. He doesn't look much better than a beggar on the street," Sharon said. She had a poor impression of Alex, mainly due to the way he was glaring at her. It didn't cross her mind that she was the one who had teased him first and that his glare was perfectly justified.

"Just stop talking for a minute," Kelly said as she glanced at Sharon. Then she looked at Alex and said, "Hello, Alex."

"Sorry, I'm leaving." Alex didn't like Sharon either, and he assumed that her friend must be as unpleasant as she was. He started to walk away.

"Now look what you've done," Kelly grumbled as she glanced at Sharon. Then she grabbed her friend's hand and they followed him.

Alex felt thirsty and as he walked past the cafeteria, he decided to get himself a cold drink.

After the server had handed him his lemonade, he tried to swipe his meal card on the machine, but it wasn't accepted. Unfortunately, this canteen only accepted meal cards or cash.

Alex had thrown all his cash at the driver the other day to take him and Debbie to the hospital to see her mom. He didn't have any left to pay for the drink.

"Oh no. I'm so sorry, I don't—" Alex was about to leave in embarrassment when he heard a "beep" from the machine beside him.

He turned his head and saw that it was Sharon's friend who had paid.

The girl was slim, with snow-white skin and bangs framing her forehead. Her eyes were big and full of spirit. She had a straight nose and thin, pink lips. She looked very delicate.

Alex didn't understand why she was paying for him, but he wanted to thank her.

Sharon pulled Kelly away from the canteen and said with a frown, "Why are you paying for him? He was just bragging about having all that money. He said that he has over a million in the bank and that he has a Ferrari, but he can't even pay for a soda. I think he's crazy. You shouldn't pay him any attention."

Even if Alex was the one who had saved Kelly that night, Sharon didn't think much of him. She didn't believe he was as rich and powerful as Kelly thought. She thought he was just a braggart and a loser.

"Shut up, Sharon." Hearing what she said, Kelly started to get annoyed. She didn't care if Alex had been bragging on the phone just a moment ago. To her, he was still her hero.

Alex became suspicious when he heard Sharon's words. He wondered, what does she mean by, "don't pay him any attention"? She's reminding me of Cathy and Karen. When the two of them had been "paying me attention," they'd both been thinking of ways to cheat me out of money.

Could it be that this seemingly harmless friend of Sharon is also after my money? It's possible. After all, quite a few people in the school know that I donated more than one hundred thousand dollars to the charity.

Thinking about this, Alex couldn't help but feel a little angry. He didn't want to be cheated by any woman, no matter how pretty they were. Any woman who was only paying him attention because of his money was ugly to him.

He put the lemonade glass on the counter, turned, and walked out of the canteen.

Kelly started to follow him. She wasn't aware of what Alex had been through with Cathy and Karen, so she couldn't understand why he was being so rude to her.

Alex picked up a hire bike on campus and headed to his dorm so that he could get rid of Kelly and the others.

To his surprise, Kelly also got a bike and started following him.
