[Chapter 86]
Everyone stared at Cathy in shock. Had Cathy and Alex previously been together?
"Babe, is this the ex-boyfriend you told me about?" Simon asked, walking over to Cathy.
"Yes, that's him," she said, sneering at Alex.
"Ha ha!" Simon laughed arrogantly and swaggered over to Kelly. "Kelly, you have no idea what kind of boyfriend you'd be getting with him. He would take you out for fast food, and if you got a room, then it would be the cheapest one available. Would you really feel special with a boyfriend like that?" He smiled proudly. As he saw Kelly frown, he got even happier.
"That's right," Cathy said, walking over to stand beside Kelly and Alex. She looked at Alex with a cold smile. "This loser followed me around like a dog. He'd run up to me right after class, chat with me, and tell me jokes. One time I was sick, and even though I didn't tell him, he just came over with a month's worth of food. But then he got tired and didn't do anything for six months."
Even though Kelly was polite, she couldn't help but get angry.
"Get out of my way!" she said.
"Hey, cousin, you've got quite the temper," Simon said, smirking. "We're just telling the truth. If you don't believe us, ask him."
She knew that Alex was poor, and Cathy's words might have some basis in truth, but she must have made up most of it. Kelly trusted Alex, and the man who had dared to drive into a group of people that night was definitely nothing like the one Cathy had just described.
"You don't believe me, do you?" Cathy asked, taking out her cell phone. "I saved the messages he sent when we were together. Oh, don't get me wrong. I'm not pining after him; I just want a reminder of why I definitely don't want him."
She opened the chat history with Alex. "Let me show you what he said to me back then." She began to read the messages out loud. "Cathy, how did you sleep? The street outside the school has been closed for a while, so I took the bus to get some food. I just came back, but I can get someone to bring you food if you need it."
She continued reading. "I'm still short of the money for the makeup you want, but don't worry. I'll definitely buy it for you. I'm still washing dishes at the restaurant, and I've also found a part-time delivery job."
She smirked as she read the next message. "Cathy, since you said that you were tired of eating in the canteen, then I'll take you to the snack bar instead. It's quite nice there, and it's been busy for the past three days. They have a twenty percent discount."
Everyone was crowded around Cathy, looking at her phone and laughing as she read each message.
As she spoke, her eyes locked onto Alex's face. Seeing how serious he looked, she became even prouder of herself.
Alex was hurt. He didn't regret a single word of what he had written. He had sent those messages because they had been in a relationship, and he had loved her. Everything he had written had come straight from his heart, even though it looked ridiculous now.
He was also angry because those messages were a reminder of the feelings they had once shared, and he didn't understand why she would use them to publicly humiliate him.
Cathy smiled, and her words stabbed at his heart like knives.
"Hey, let us look," one of the men said, taking the phone and beginning to read the chat messages.
"Cathy," he read. "Is your mind too busy to sleep? Are you thinking about me like I'm thinking about you?"
"Cathy," he said, moving on to the next message. "I just realized that you look like one of my favorite actresses. I'm so lucky to have you as my girlfriend. Every man on the planet is probably jealous of me! I've only been eating one meal a day so I can save the money to buy a phone for you. Don't worry about me. If a new phone will make you happy, then it's worth not eating much."
