Cheated on? Yeah, right! Lina was actually the person who had cheated on me. Yet, she now dared to bring this up. Still, I wasn''t going to get angry. Getting angry at her would only bring me down to her level.


    "Are you done talking? If you are, I''m leaving," I said.


    "William, are you insane? I''m telling you that Felicia is cheating on you, yet you''re acting indifferent. Don''t tell me that you''re dating that loser just to spite me because you''re jealous of me and Ryan being together."


    Her voice was shrill, almost hysterical, and her expression was far from her usual pitiful, delicate demeanor.


    I figured the crushing debt of 90 thousand in three days had driven her to the brink, stripping her of her rationality.


    Looking at her, I couldn''t help but feel helpless. "Lina, calm down. Take a look in the mirror. I bet you wouldn''t even recognize yourself anymore. You''ve changed so much.


    "Do you remember what you said when we started dating at the beginning of the semester? You said that you wanted to get into grad school, find a stable job, marry a gentle, family-oriented husband, have a cute kid, and live a simple, happy life.


    "Now look at yourself. Are you closer to that dream or further away from it?"


    She froze.


    My words brought a sliver of rity back to her mind.


    But after briefly hesitating, she looked up at me with a fierce re. "Stop spewing nonsense! You''re no better! You lied to me, saying you would treat me well


    forever. And what happened? You won the lottery and didn''t even give me a single cent! How''s that treating me well?"


    I was left speechless.


    The lottery story had been a lie, but I understood her point.


    "Lina, we''ve already broken up. And the reason we broke up was because you cheated on me. Under those circumstances, if I still gave you money and supported you, what would that make me? A fool You''re beingpletely unreasonable."


    Lina had be so selfish and shameless that talking to her felt like a waste of time. Shaking my head, I walked straight into the building without looking back.


    When I returned to the dorm, Liam and Benjamin huddled, excitedly discussing something on their phones. But the moment they saw me enter, their expressions shifted to one of unease and concern.


    "What''s going on?" I asked, puzzled.


    "Uh... William, did you watch the live stream just now?"


    "I did."


    Hearing this, Matthew suddenly stood up, looking shocked. "You did? And you''re still this calm?"


    Benjamin quickly tried to smooth


    things over it''s fine. Even if that guy Anonymous gave Felicia money, he can''t actually meet her in person. They''re justmunicating online. It won''t affect her and William''s rtionship."


    "Exactly!" Liam chimed in.


    "Felicia seemspletely loyal. She would never cheat on Mr. Top Dog. William, you don''t have to worry."


    So that was what had them concerned. I couldn''t help butugh.


    Unlike Lina, who was trying to stir up trouble, they only said these things because they were genuinely worried about me. Far from being angry, I felt touched by their concern.


    Still, I needed toe up with a reasonable exnation to rify things. Otherwise, in their minds, I would forever be the poster child for getting cheated


    on.
