A Life Beyond Limits novel Chapter 778

Cynthia mentioned that her best friend was also looking for a place to eat and asked if Jack wouldn't mind her joining. After getting his approval, she hung up.

They soon arrived at the agreed-upon location. Before long, Cynthia showed up with an equally stunning woman in tow.

The moment Jack saw her, he and the beautiful woman both released a soft, surprised gasp.

What were the odds? The woman Cynthia had brought was none other than the sharp-tongued beauty who had criticized him earlier at the bulletin board.

A wry smile crept onto Jack's face as he said, "Hello… I never thought I'd run into you again here."

Cynthia looked at them in surprise. "You two… know each other?"

The woman, no longer as harsh as before, flashed Jack a smile. "What a coincidence. I didn't expect Cynthia's classmate to be you." She then briefly explained the earlier encounter to Cynthia.

After hearing the story, Cynthia chuckled. "Jack, I never would've guessed! You said you didn't care about Bella, but you've been thinking about her all along."

Feeling a bit awkward, Jack joined them, and the three of them walked and talked together.

From their chat, Jack learned the woman was Magdalene Wachs—Cynthia's classmate and roommate. She had a straightforward personality, which explained why she'd called him out earlier for scraping the glass.

When he offered to treat them, Magdalene smirked mischievously. "Jack, since you're so invested in Bella, how about this—if you're willing to splurge today, I might just share some inside info about her."

This was exactly what he had been hoping for. Without hesitation, he replied, "No problem. Money's no issue."

He wasn't short on money—what he lacked were leads on Bella.

However, Cynthia had always assumed Jack wasn't well-off, so she scolded Magdalene. "Mag, don't take advantage of him. You know how high the prices are in Alnewgo."
