Chapter 1788

"Erica is downright nasty!"

Shawn couldn't keep his rage in check. His fists clenched tight, spitting out curses.

Rosalynn lowered her eyes, thinking to herself that even if the Virgin Mary was to descend from the heavens, Shawn won't be able to get away easily this time.

"Would you even be breathing if Erica had told me everything?" Jacob glared at Shawn, fury burning in his eyes. "You guys were all bullying her, and she didn't tell me a single thing. You know why?" Shawn's face turned ashen. He stared intensely at Jacob, saying nothing.

"Because she didn't want me to lose my friends because of her. How bloody ironic is that?!" Jacob suddenly exploded with anger, throwing his plate onto the ground with a loud crash.

"I've actually grown distant from Erica because of you guys! This is utterly ridiculous!"

Shawn and Jacob had grown up together. Although he had seen Jacob angry, he had never seen him this furious.

Warning bells rang in his head, and he began to realize the gravity of the situation.

"Jacob... let's all just calm down, okay?"

"You want me to calm down?" Jacob took a deep breath. "Then admit to what you've done."

"Admit what?" Shawn was confused.

"Admit to how despicable you are. When Erica rejected you at that fancy candlelit dinner you set up, you got angry and started bullying her with the rest of these guys. You hurt her!" Jacob spat out furiously.

Jacob had been oblivious to all this until about a fortnight ago when he got back at a rich girl who had been bullying Erica and spreading rumors about her online.

To save her own skin, the rich girl spilled the beans about everything she knew, including the fact that both Shawn and Jacob had fallen for Erica the first time they saw her.

But Erica had only eyes for Jacob, her heart belonged to him and him alone.

Even when Shawn and Jacob stood together, all Erica could see was Jacob.

When Jacob fell out with Erica over some photos, Shawn seized his opportunity. He rented a yacht, filled it with beautiful roses, and prepared a romantic candlelit dinner. He invited Erica out. Erica did come. Seeing all the roses and the romantic setting, she was initially very happy.

But the moment she saw Shawn, her smile faded.

She looked behind Shawn, then around her.

"Shawn, where's Jacob?"

Erica thought that Jacob had arranged all this in a bid to make up with her.

That's when Shawn's mood took a turn for the worse.

Forcing a smile, he explained, "I invited you here.

Why would Jacob be here? Erica... I know you're not a bad girl. I believe there's more to those photos. I'm not like Jacob. I love you, and I will accept and respect you for who you are. Will you give me a chance to be with you, to protect you?"

"Aren't you Jacob's good friend? How can you do something like this behind his back?" Erica was taken aback.

"You guys have already broken up..."

"Forget it.' Erica looked flustered. "I'm sorry, I thought Jacob was here. That's why I came. Since he's not, I should leave. I'm really sorry..."

Erica turned to leave.

Shawn was taken aback. He hadn't expected her to be so decisive.
