Manipulating Grades, Stealing Hearts novel Chapter 7

Leaving the person I love with a rival—I couldn't do it.

Wesley glanced at Miss Taylor, his tone cold.

"Why would I tell you? I don't think we're in a relationship that requires reporting to each other."

He lightly pulled my sleeve. "Let's go."

Before leaving, I turned to Liam and mouthed:

"You're dead. Just wait."

Liam shrank his neck, looking guilty.

But Miss Taylor was still following us.

Seeing Wesley ignoring her, she turned to chat with me.

"I haven't seen you before. Are you new?"

I nodded.

Her eyes lit up. "Then you probably haven't heard about Wesley and me studying abroad. Would you like to hear about it?"

I hesitated.

Honestly, I was quite curious.

After all, there's often a difference between firsthand accounts and rumors.

Just as I was about to agree, Wesley couldn't take it anymore.

He stopped walking, looked at me first: "If you want to know something, just ask me directly."

Then he shifted his gaze to Miss Taylor: "Joy Taylor, if you keep bothering me, I'll call your family."

Miss Taylor looked pitiful. "But my parents are the ones who told me to pursue you."

Wesley was merciless. "Then I'll call the police. After all, you're harassing me."

Miss Taylor didn't follow us anymore, looking both dumbfounded and timid as she remained in place.

The evening breeze was light as Wesley and I exited, waiting for the driver to bring the car around.

He irritably tugged at his tie, complaining, "This banquet was a complete waste of time. Annoying."

I took a bottle of water from my bag, opened it, and handed it to him.
