Chapter 71
Jeff is your ex-boyfriend?! "Jamie Scavo kissed the genius?!" It was an unbelievable sight for all in the cafeteria. First, it was Fred Swinton who came to meet him and now he's kidding Jamie Scavo, the well-known beauty and Young Miss of the Scavo Family! Jeff also couldn't believe what was happening either. Jamie was kissing him, in front of other people?! As Jamie released Jeff's lips, she took her bag and dashed out of the cafeteria without looking back. The fact that a member of a well-known Starry City family was dining in the school cafeteria was already news, but now she is joking around with the rustic from Arty City?
If some people hadn't witnessed it, they would have called it lies.
With pain flashing in her eyes, Tonia turned to leave after witnessing the events that transpired. She never imagined that seeing another woman kiss Jeff would make her jealous.
Wasn't Jeff from a farming family? Why does she find someone like him attractive? Tonia did not feel like herself the rest of the day. She could not help but think of Jamie's audacious kiss on Jeff.
She is a rich girl; why would she pursue someone like Jeff? They are not even in the same league.
"Hey! What's wrong with you? You've not been yourself since you came back to the dormitory" Tonia's roommate
asked as her hand grazed through the table.
Tonia had no option but to remain in the school dormitory because she was only a student here. Apart from her, she lives with two other girls.
Prior to their roommate match, Tonia had already had a chance to get to know the two girls.
"Mira, Did you see the post about Jamie Scavo kissing..." Oh, that! I saw the post and trust me, I was kinda happy they look too good together" Mira said before Tonia could complete her words. "I wonder why Jamie Scavo did that though, she's quite well known for her untarnished reputation." "Is she that great?" Tonia questioned
dubifully.
"Although I have not really met her, she made her acting debut in "The Music Star' a few years ago as a young actress. She was the younger version of Aryza!" As she spoke, Mira was bursting with energy. Her admiration for Jamie was really palpable.
And of course, Tonia recalled the popular Movie. That Jamie Scavo was the child actress was unexpected, though.
"Don't you like her?" Seeing the look on Tonia's face, Mira asked.
"Do you know the guy I told you about, my ex-boyfriend?" Tonia questioned, a hint of pain in her voice. I I "Oh, the guy who ended things without saying anything?" Mira asked.
"Yes. "That is the guy Jamie kissed," disclosed Tonia.
Mira's eyes grew wide with surprise as Tonia shared her startling revelation.
Her brows furrowed in confusion as she processed the information, her mouth hanging slightly open.
"Jeff...was your ex-boyfriend?" she asked incredulously, her voice laced with disbelief.
Tonia nodded solemnly, her eyes clouded with hurt and confusion. "Yes, Mira. It's true. I recently learned that Jamie Scavo was the reason Jeff ended our relationship. Can you believe that?" She sighed deeply, sorrow tinged in her voice. RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only
Mira's admiration for Jamie had always been unwavering. It had always been her desire to meet her.
She couldn't fathom someone as brilliant and kind as Jamie being the reason behind Tonia's heartbreak.
However, Mira's beliefs were called into question when she saw the agony on her friend's face.
Perhaps Tonia was telling the truth.
The room fell into an uncomfortable silence as Mira's mind raced, searching desperately for an explanation.
At last, Mira broke the silence in the room with a worried tone of voice.
"Tonia, I... don't know what to say. I never imagined Jamie could do I something like this. Are you absolutely sure about this?" Tonia nodded, her eyes glistening with unshed tears. "Earlier today, I went up I to Jeff because I wanted to know why
our relationship ended so abruptly. He acknowledged that they were dating behind my back and that he had feelings for Jamie. I never saw it coming, Mira. How could Jeff do this to me? And how could Jamie be so heartless?" Mira felt a wave of anger crashing through her as she listened to Tonia's heart-wrenching story.
Her admiration for Jamie began to wane, replaced by a simmering sense of betrayal. The thought of Jamie, the girl who had always been so kind, causing such devastation left a bitter taste in her mouth.
As Mira's anger grew, so did her sympathy for Tonia. She reached out, placing a comforting hand on her friend's trembling shoulder. "I'm so
sorry, Tonia. No one deserves to be treated like this. If what you say is true, then Jamie has a lot to answer for." Tonia's eyes locked with Mira's, relieved to find understanding and support in her friend. "Thank you, Mira. I didn't know who else to turn to, and I needed someone to know the truth. I just want people to see Jamie for who he really is," she said with a pained yet determined expression.
Unbeknownst to Mira, a devious smile played upon Tonia's lips.
She had fabricated the entire story to manipulate Mira's emotions and turn her against Jamie.
Amelia rushed into Arlina's office, breathless with excitement. Arlina
glanced up from her paperwork, curious about what could have caused such a commotion.
"Amelia, what's gotten into you?" Arlina asked a hint of arrogance in her voice. "You look like you've just found the answers to the universe." Amelia began to speak quickly, barely able to contain her words. "Arlina, I've just received extraordinary information! Master Cleo...he's going to attend the birthday banquet of the Old Lady of the Trinder Family!" Arlina's eyes widened, mirroring Amelia's enthusiasm. A smile curved her lips, and a trail of hope glimmered in her eyes. "Master Cleo? Are you sure?" Amelia nodded, her excitement radiating from her every pore.
"Absolutely! The Trinder Family is hosting a grand banquet to celebrate the Old Lady's birthday, and Master Cleo is on the guest list!" After months of trying to track down Master Cleo, finally, there seemed to be a breakthrough. Yet, as she studied Amelia's face, she noticed a shift in her expression.
"But Arlina," Amelia continued hesitantly, "there's something else you should know... the Trinder Family." Arlina's initial joy began to sour as a frown creased her forehead. Her voice lowered, tinged with disbelief. "The Trinder Family? What do you mean, Amelia?" It seemed that Arlina just heard '"Trinder’'.
"I have no choice, Amelia. We have to get Master Cleo at all cost" Arlina finally uttered after minutes gf contemplating.
