Chapter: 141

The club was for members only, and the annual fee alone cost millions.

Therefore, they couldn’t help but fawn on Jared.

Jared was obviously in a good mood. Tugging at his sleeve, Debbie asked him in a low voice, “Why didyou book a room here? Are you sure you can afford it?”

“Don’t worry. I have my brother’s VIP card. There is at least ten million in it. So, enjoy the night andhelp yourself with everything here.” Debbie knew that Jared had an older brother named Damon, buther impression of him wasn’t exactly positive. Although, she had met him once or twice in passing, shehad Long forgotten what he looked Like in person.

Jared was itching to spend all the money in Damon’s VIP card. In truth, apart from being half brothersand sharing the same father, they didn’t have a lot in common.

One day, Jared stole the VIP card from his brother’s table when he was passing by Damon’s room.

Debbie had heard about Damon from when Jared used to complain about him to her. From what shecould gather, Damon was always very nice to his younger brother, whereas, Jared would treat Damonwith disdain.

Although it was Jared’s one-sided statement, Debbie could tell that he had been obedient to his olderbrother on some occasions.

“Jared, what are you two talking about? Come over here!” One of their classmates urged the two to jointhem.

Jared responded in a loud voice, “All right, all right. Scott, you won’t be allowed to leave here until youhave more alcohol than blood running through your body.” All of a sudden, Jared looked at Debbie witha concerned expression on his face.

“Tomboy, I won’t drink much tonight. You don’t need to drink if you don’t want to.”

This caught Scott’s interest, as he looked at Jared and cheerfully shouted, “Hey bro, what’s up? Areyou two dating or something? Do you have to ask for Debbie’s permission before you drink, huh?”

Debbie and Jared were very popular in their high school. Most of their classmates used to joke abouttheir relationship. However, the truth was quite far from reality. Although they had been good friendswho trusted each other, that was all their relationship was, a reliable friendship. Apart from that, theyhad absolutely no chemistry between them.

Debbie was interested in guys who weren’t afraid of commitments, while she thought Jared was moreof a playboy. On the contrary, Jared thought

Debbie was a tomboy, whereas, he liked winsome coquettes.

They both understood each other very well and agreed that they could only make good friends.

“What? A couple? Come on! Even if we spent the night in the same bed, nothing would happenbetween us, besides the usual chatting and fighting.” Jared held the chair out for Debbie like agentleman, but the latter cast a reproachful glance at him before sitting down.

In truth, Debbie never enjoyed taking part in these gatherings. Most of the girls chose to isolate herbecause she was a pretty girl and the boys liked hanging out with her. Their impression of Debbie wasthat of a bitch who was just pretending to be a tomboy to attract boys.

The girls began to speak ill of her amongst themselves in soft murmurs so that Debbie wouldn’t hearthem. But she could tell from their body language and the way they looked at her that they were quietlyconferring about her.

Why didn’t they just say what they had to say to Debbie’s face? Mostly because they were afraid ofbeing beaten up by her. Besides, they didn’t want to offend Jared. Why didn’t they just keep tothemselves?

They would if they could, but they were so envious of Debbie that they needed some way to vent theiranger on her.

Debbie, however, felt wronged and misunderstood. After all, she had never laid her hands on a girlbefore. Even when her cousin, Gail, had given her multiple reasons to hurt her, Debbie refrained fromLaying even a finger on her. Instead, she would let Gail off with just a warning.

It wasn’t like Debbie was afraid of the girls; far from it! The girls wouldn’t even stand a chance in afistfight with her. She could easily injure them without even breaking a sweat.

A few moments later, Jared went to the men’s room to clear out the several bottles of beer he haddrunk. Right after he left, the girls started to taunt Debbie because they believed that her arroganceand power only lasted as long as Jared was with her.

“Even after so many years, she’s still running around after Jared like one of his Lackeys. I guess he’snot interested in her at all.”
