Crystal shota deep look before turning to Dorian. "What's going on between William andis our business-
it's none of your concern! Even if he was
momentarily blinded and still interested in someone like her, I'm confident he'll see her true colors eventually
and forget her!"
Hearing this, not only was Dorian stunned, but | was taken aback as well. |
couldn't believe she was still standing up forat this point.
Normally, | wouldn't bother explaining myself since | didn't care how others chose to misunderstand me. But for
Crystal's sake, | couldn't let her lose face because of
me.
Taking a step forward, | said, "I'm not hung up on Lina. From a neutral

perspective, | simply believe Dorian isn't someone she should be with. | didn't want to stand by and watch her
make a mistake, so | tried to warn her. In reality, she was the one beggingto reconcile, and | turned her
down."
| glanced at Lina. Tears brimmed in her eyes, and her body trembled. Any lingering pity | might have felt for her
had vanished entirely after her earlier betrayal.
| continued, "If you don't believe me, think about it. If | really had bad intentions, wouldn't I have acted by now?
Why would | wait all this tand do nothing? That would've been the perfect chance for Dorian to swoop in and
play the hero."
| paused to let my words sink in. "And take it a step further-if | were really forcing her, why wouldn't she have
called for help? Why didn't she shout 'help' in the moment? Why wait until you all showed up to suddenly act like
the victim?"
The group fell silent for a moment, clearly reflecting on what | had said. Everything | had mentioned made sense
and was logical. If | had any ulterior motive from the start, | wouldn't have waited so long to act.
Crystal's eyes lit up. She grabbed my hand and asked eagerly, "Really? William, you really don't have feelings for
her anymore?"
| shook my head. "You know very well who my girlfriend is. If | still had feelings for her, | wouldn't be with my
current girlfriend."
"Alright, | believe you!" Crystal said.
Hearing that | had a girlfriend, the crowd turned their attention to Lina with more suspicion. It didn't make sense
for a man with a girlfriend and top-tier admirers to waste his tchasing after an ex in a restroom. Anyone with
a bit of common sense could see the truth.
Dorian turned to glare at Lina.
Lina panicked completely. Her face turned pale, and she stammered, "He—he's lying! Sure, he has a girlfriend,
but he's s-still in love with me. If you don't b- believe me, look at the messages he sent me! They're all
confessions—he's obsessed with me!"
With that, she desperately shoved her phone into Dorian's hands. He took it with a look of skepticism, but after
glancing at the screen, he burst into laughter.
"Haha, he's a total simp! This is definitely a classic case of a simp!" Dorian laughed, shaking his head.

Oliver leaned in, eager to join in the fun. "Dorian, can | see?"
Dorian casually tossed the phone to Oliver, who immediately laughed aloud. To everyone's amusement, he
started reading the messages out loud.
"Leena, where are you? | got you your favorite roasted sweet potatoes. I'll bring them over now, okay?" He read
them out mockingly.
"Why don't you answer my messages? Every t| message you, it takes forever for you to get back," Oliver
continued, reading another message with a smirk.
"The sweet potatoes are cold now, so | gave them to an old lady who was picking up trash on the street. If you
still want them, I'll go buy you shot ones," he continued, snickering.
"Leena, | miss you. Can | csee you after class? | got you that necklace you wanted, so don't be mad at me,
okay?" he continued.
"It's not that | didn't want to buy the necklace. | just thought it was overpriced for the quality. | was planning to
get you a better one for your birthday. Since you were upset, | bought it for you anyway," Oliver said, reading yet
another message.
"Leena, did you block my number? Why can't | ever get through to you?"
