"I had no idea Evelyn was sa adept at winning prople over. From now on, you'd better watch her like a hawk and make sure she doesn't attempt to run away again!" As Jack reprimanded Elene, it was clear that he wanted her to keep an eye on my every move. Alter changing into a clean dress, 1 opened the door and went home with them, Jack went all out and drove me home himself. Yet, it only made me feel more uneasy.

I arrived home and tidied up. But as soon as I stepped out of my room, I ran into Elene, whose countenance betrayed a palpable sense of resentment

"Do not assume that you can do whatever you want just because you're on good terms with the Tyler family!

"Thave no idea why Liam showed up at our place last night, but if you had been here, he wouldn't have had the chance to pressute Dad into bringing you back!"

It didn't take long for Elene's loose lips to tell me everything I needed to know. It turned out that tiam had come to the Wiley residence last night, intending to replace me, but I wasn't there

toward me Liam told Jack that if I was subjected to any more

Eleme, ever the blabbermouth, told him that I had run away from home, which naturally let Liam in on Jack's attitude for mistreatment, he could kiss the collaboration with his family goodbye.

Having finally gotten his foot through the door with this company, there was no way Jack would relinquish such a valuable connection. Consequently, he showed up at my door first thing this morning with Elene to apologize and bring me back

It was then I realized the reason behind Jack's strange behavior, became evident that he was a highly opportunistic individual As expected, he still saw me as a means to an end.

In fact, his attitude toward me was completely different. It was almost as if he genuinely liked me.

Whether it was his constant clashes with Ethan or his obvious dislike for Leah, everything about Liam left me feeling perplexed. I couldn't help but wonder what he was really after. Denjoyed my time at home. It seemed like Liam's waning had worked, as none of them had come to bother me

kept to my route of teaching dance classes and Eving a straightforward, no-nonsense life. Sometimes, on my way home, I would think about how wonderful it would be if things could remain as calm as they were at that point. Iwished 1 could stay in this peaceful bubble forever.

Before I knew it, the cicada-filled summer was over. The commencement of a new academic term prompted me to report to St. Nicholas University.

True to my memories, this institution had stood the test of time and had become even more outstanding with each passing year. The campus was teeming with students from all over the country, and I was just one of the many faces in the crowd, filled with hope and ambition.

As soon as I arrived at the campus with my suitcase, I spotted Liam, who was greeting the new students. He was dressed casually, radiating a bright and cheerful vibe. He was surrounded by a bunch of girls, his good looks clearly earning him plenty of attention I was just about to walk away when he called out, "Evelyn!"
