SPOILED GIRL, VOLUME 2 - Season 11 Episode 63

‘She was fine when she left. Why has she come back so furious after only a few hours?

Did Ray do something wrong?’ Ray’s servant wondered in confusion.

Ray opened the door bleary-eyed and rumpled. When he saw this anxious woman with large sunglasses and a mismatched outfit standing in front of him, he was stunned, but quickly recovered his cold composure.

He hadn’t slept well last night, so he had hoped to get more sleep after Michelle had left; however, he certainly hadn’t expected to be called up from his bed to deal with her only hours after falling asleep.

“What’s the matter with you?”

He wasn’t a morning person, and he responded with a bad attitude.

“You have the nerve to ask me that?” Michelle was filled with anger when she saw his innocent appearance. It was as if butter would not melt in his mouth.

She pushed her cell phone in front of his eyes and stared at him angrily. “Explain to me what the hell is this then,” she demanded, gritting her teeth.

What had happened last night was only known to the two of them. She had been drunk and dizzy at that time, so it was impossible for her to have arranged someone to take photos. Ray was the one who had had the best chance.

“What’s this?”

He looked blank, as if he had completely no idea why she was so mad. He took the cell phone from her impatiently and glanced at it.

A second later, he stared transfixed at the phone screen with his face turning pale. Ray was struck dumb by every photo and comment posted about them online. He couldn’t believe his eyes, so he asked coldly, “Who did this?”

These were photos taken during their meeting and conflict, and they even showed Ray taking Michelle home yesterday and her leaving the house this morning.

The guy who had secretly taken these photos had obviously followed them from the beginning of their meeting until Michelle had left this morning. Maybe he was still waiting outside even now.

“You’re asking me?”

His question sounded like a big joke to her and set her blood boiling, so she grabbed his collar and looked straight at him with her sharp but bloodshot eyes. “I also wanted to ask you why you’d have such photos taken to ruin my reputation.”

‘I went to Starlight Club in the spur of the moment, and no one knew about it.

What’s more, I just stayed in the corner the whole time. If that guy was following me, how come he only started to take photos once Ray appeared?

Why not capture the man who accosted and drugged me? Isn’t that more convincing to use against me? So there’s only one explanation:

That guy who took the photos came with Ray.

Whether Ray knew about him or not, it has something to do with him!’ she thought.

“Are you crazy?”

He pulled her fingers away from his shirt and frowned in displeasure. He was really annoyed to see her biting like a mad dog. He straightened his collar and said in a deep voice, “You’re barking up the wrong tree here.”

He wouldn’t have done such a dirty thing!

“What? Not you? Humph, don’t tell me you think it’s Jacob,” she sneered derisively.

Michelle thought he was being ridiculous. It was clear what had happened, but Ray was still pretending to be innocent.

“Well, looks like you already know who it is.”

He raised his eyebrows and leaned against the door frame expectantly. After the initial agitation, he had calmed down somewhat. He started to tease her with a tart smile as he ragged on her.

However, his words were like salt in her wounds.

“You…”

She didn’t expect that he would denigrate Jacob. She was really irritated and stared at him with a building rage that left a vein throbbing at her temple. “You don’t have the guts to admit it?” she spluttered.

She was very stubborn and kept on insisting that Ray was behind it.

“Humph! Michelle, has anyone ever told you that you are hopelessly stupid?”

Ray narrowed his ice-cold eyes, and looked at her with a compelling stare. He stepped forward, pushed her into the corner between two walls, looked down at her, and slowly asked, “Aren’t you tired of living in your own fabricated world?” Even a stranger like him could see that Jacob didn’t love her at all. Why was she being so arrogant?

“What, what do you mean?”

She was startled for a moment, and her face suddenly appeared flustered. She was a little overwhelmed by his proximity and the fierce pressure as he pushed against her, adding to her confusion. “I don’t understand what you mean.”

“Humph!”

He put his arm down and leaned against the wall. He started to feel that she was more than a little pitiful. “Jacob doesn’t love you at all. He’s probably the one behind this. Now you blame me instead? If I wanted to hurt you, I think it would have been easier to have just left you alone in the club last night.”

“That’s impossible!” His harsh words had hit on a raw nerve, making her blood first boil and then freeze with rage. Michelle raised her head sharply, stared hard at him with her red, cold eyes, and continued to bark at Ray. “No. He loves me. He won’t do such a thing to me!” She wouldn’t allow anyone to doubt Jacob’s love for her!

“When will you stop kidding yourself?” Ray frowned tightly and felt tired by this exchange. No one could wake up a person who was pretending to sleep. Even if she knew the truth very well, she still chose not to believe it.

Michelle had used to be a brisk and tough girl, not this disheveled and hysterical mess that she was now.

She was not herself today.

“No, I’m not deceiving myself. You just don’t understand me. You’re all blinded by Emily, that bitch!”

She rolled her eyes, but then seemed to remember something. After shouting her anger out at Emily, Michelle nodded as a way of affirming her convictions.

“If Jacob loves you, he won’t be eager to get rid of you like this!”

Ray growled in disappointment and grabbed her shoulder, forcing her to look straight into his eyes, and continued, “Did you hear him or not? He said you two are just friends. Friends! He doesn’t love you at all!”

Michelle stood there dumbly, utterly speechless because of his roar.

Suddenly, tears welled up in her eyes and her voice choked with emotion. “No, it’s impossible. He loves me. He loves me!”

“He doesn’t love you!” Ray thundered, shaking her slightly as if he could shake the truth into her.

Ray looked at her with fierce and piercing eyes as he really didn’t want to see her foolishly continuing to be the third wheel between Jacob and Emily. She was so naive to have ever believed that Jacob really loved her.

The man had been using her!

“He loves me!” she cried out, in a raw and choked voice, with her eyes tightly closed. Then, Michelle pushed Ray away and rushed out of the house.

She didn’t want to listen to Ray anymore. All he did was speak lies because he didn’t want her and Jacob to be together. She wouldn’t buy it!

Jacob loved her!

“Michelle!”

Ray called from behind her and ran a few steps after her with worried eyes, but he stopped at last with his lips pressed together bitterly.
