Chapter 7

He clumsily lifted his glass to my lips.

I wasn't paying attention, and the cold alcohol trickled down my lips onto the young hottie's fingers.

He shivered, looking at me a bit embarrassed.

There was an indescribable emotion in his eyes.

In the dim light, his tall muscular physique was barely visible. I couldn't take my eyes off him.

When we were leaving, I tossed the young hottie my business card.

He called me "big sis" and waved goodbye reluctantly.

"We'll meet again," I said.

I've never had a high alcohol tolerance, but tonight I had a few extra drinks.

As soon as I stepped outside into the cold air, I started stumbling.

My sister got distracted and ran off with one of the guys, leaving me alone.

I turned back and ran to the bathroom, hugging the toilet and throwing up for a while until my head cleared a bit.

I heard a familiar voice from the next stall.

"Olivia, I heard your ex-boyfriend got divorced?"

Olivia laughed coldly and said:

"Yeah, if I hadn't heard he inherited his grandfather's billion-dollar fortune, who would bother with used goods like him?"

"True, Olivia never uses anything second-hand."

I hid in the bathroom stall without coming out.

In my past life, I never heard about James inheriting a fortune. Could he be using this to win back his first love?

Another possibility is that the so-called inheritance is actually my money.

I was such a fool.

Thankfully in this life, I didn't let him into my company.

And I didn't give him a penny.

I only gave him a small allowance each month, out of pity.

The gossip continued.

Olivia chuckled and went on:

"But now there's a tricky problem - his ex-wife turns out to be Chloe Morgan."

"Who? Your high school bestie? I remember she had a crush on James back then."

"That bitch Chloe, anything she wants, I have to snatch it away."

Olivia said through gritted teeth.

Back then, Olivia was our high school beauty queen, stunningly gorgeous even at 16.

I was quiet and antisocial.

She actively befriended me, giving me my only friend in high school.

When I liked James back then, she encouraged me to persist.

Olivia was outgoing and straightforward. She helped me gather a lot of intel on James at the time.

Back then, rumors spread that the school beauty Olivia and the school heartthrob James were getting close and probably dating.
