Chapter 49
“It must be that dreadful guy! He kept trying to steal my limelight. Ah, he is courting death!”
Hearing that Casper might be Mr. Simpson, Sawyer popped a vein and demanded, “Look for a chanceto lure him out, and teach him a lesson.”
“Sawyer, I don’t think you have to see him again. You can get rid of him by getting someone else to dothe dirty work for you,” Sax suggested while making a gesture to slit his throat. His eyes were burningwith anger.
“I’ll leave this to you then. Remember not to leave any traces behind,” Sawyer ordered.
Then, he took a deep breath, his eyes flashed with hatred.
It did not take a genius to guess what Sax meant. Clearly, he wanted to teach Casper a lesson andmake it clear that no one could mess with Sawyer.
“Sure, Sawyer. I will make sure I get things right.”
Sax flashed a grin before pulling out his phone to dial a number.
Of course, Casper did not know what was going on at that time. Otherwise, he would have foughtagainst this baseless allegation.
Looking at the comments section, Casper was surprised to see that Mr. Pretentious was still goingagainst Mr. Money. There were also many users cheering them on, and it was quite a scene.
At that moment, Giselle messaged him again. She mentioned that a website had contacted herrecently. They wanted to organize a fan event for her and suggested that she sign up as a new internetcelebrity.
No doubt, Casper egged Giselle on to participate in the event. After all, it would be held online.
It would be a good opportunity since she could sing and interact with her fans as well.
Moments later, Giselle’s live broadcast ended. Casper switched off his mobile phone and lay down torest. The corner of his lips curled upwards into a faint smile as he imagined Giselle’s beautiful featuresand that made his heart flutter.
Hearing Casper’s light chuckle from his bed, his other three dormmates exchanged looks before theyturned to him with their eyes glinting with playfulness. They all thought that he was dreaming about agoddess and was fantasizing about her.
Time flew by in a blink of an eye, and it was a weekend. Felix had already made plans with Wendy toorganize a gathering for those who lived in the dorm. To put it bluntly, they wanted everyone to interactwith each other and create a small matchmaking session.
After waking up early in the morning, Felix saw Casper reading a book. With a smile on his face, hetapped on his shoulder and reminded, “Casper, Wendy has already asked the girls from her dorm out,so we have to put up a good show today. We still have two thirsty bachelors in our dorm waiting to getinto a relationship.”
“Don’t worry, I will make sure Colton and Remy don’t go home empty-handed,” Casper joked.
Excited, he glanced at the two other boys and mocked, “Both of you better do a good job. I hope I don’thave to work too hard to make sure you win a girl each.”
If he could witness both of them getting a girlfriend, that would be the best. Anyway, it was arguablyone of the major tasks to tick off one’s wishlist in university.
“I will definitely get a girl”, stated Remy confidently.
Turning to Colton, he added with a wry smile, “But I’m not too sure about Colton. Are you going to bringaround Shakespeare’s Sonnets to try to court a girl?”
Immediately, Colton straightened his shirt and puffed out his chest. “Screw you! Why would I throwaway my image like that?”
He had put a lot of thought into his outfit that day, and he looked like a gentleman.
Yet, none of his friends paid attention to him. Amused, Casper shook his head and chuckled.
“Casper, are you not going to give Lillian a call? You are allowed to bring a plus one to the gathering.”
While wiping down his leather shoes, Felix specifically reminded Casper. No matter what, he wasdetermined to bring them together.
“No, it’s alright. She is busy today.”
On the other hand, Casper did not feel like inviting her out today. Thus, he came up with an excuse toappease Felix.
It was clear to him that if he continued to keep her around, they would only go to the point of no return.In the end, he might not be able to control himself. He would be in emotional distress while Lillian’sfeelings would get hurt too.
Hence, Casper wanted to stop everything as there was no way he would allow anything like that tohappen.
Under Felix’s arrangement, the people from their dorm began to head to the female dorm for thegathering.
From a distance away, Felix spotted a boy hanging around Lillian.
“Casper, I think that guy is bothering her again,” Remy cautioned Casper at once when he recognizedLilian with his sharp eyes.
“How can we let that happen? Who is trying to mess with her? Let’s go over and check it out.”
Felix’s eyes lit up, and he quickly dragged Casper in Lillian’s direction.
When they got slightly closer, the three boys pushed Casper forward in her direction.
“Casper, you should take care of it.”
The moment Lillian saw Casper, her frown turned into a wide smile. Like a child, she skipped over tohim and held his hand affectionately.
“Tom, this is my boyfriend. I told you not to hang around me anymore, but you won’t listen. Now, areyou happy that you have met him?”
Lillian shamelessly kept her grip on Casper’s arm without Casper’s consent. She pulled him closer toTom and emphasized, “He is my boyfriend, and we even went to a hotel last night. When we graduate,he will be the person I will marry. Is that clear enough for you to back off?”
As soon as Casper heard those words, he froze. He felt as though a bolt of lightning had just struckhim. When did I go to a hotel with her or sleep with her? Ah, I will never be able to come out clean.
Frantically, he turned his head and looked around. Realizing that Giselle was nowhere near him, he feltslightly relieved.
Even the grip on his arm felt less suffocating.
Meanwhile, the rest of the boys were startled. Did Casper lie to us last night when he said that he didnot book a hotel room? What is going on?
“I’ll still like you even if you are no longer a virgin,” Tom professed.
Eyeing Casper from head to toe, he estimated that his rival was worth no more than a hundred. In amocking tone, he boasted, “As long as you get together with me, I can buy you any branded items. Beit clothes, shoes, or bags, as long as you name it, I’ll get it for you. If you choose this poor bloke, whatcan you even get?”
Tom was another typical guy who judged others based on their appearance. Seeing Casper clad incheap clothes, he immediately had an ego boost that he wanted to ridicule Casper.
By doing so, he thought he could impress Lillian. Needless to say, if she ended with Casper, he thoughtit would be an insult to her, like a flower stuck in cow dung.
