Chapter <b>317 </b>
Bowen chuckled and said, “You still remembered.”
Inwardly, he sighed with resignation. He could tell that Aubree had probably forgotten it herself.
“Damn it! You’ve got some nerve back <b>then</b>! You’re the kind of backstabbing jerk who’d ditch your bros the second a girl shows up. Go freeze your ass off by the river all night and see if you will remember!” Ollie ranted. What really pissed him off was that he had dressed up to the nines, had gotten a ne with a massive diamond pendant as <b>a </b>gift, and was <b>all </b>set to attend Aubree’s birthday bash. In the end, he lost out to a crummy leaf given by Bowen!
He had nned to one–up Bowen with his gift, but that jerk simply banned him from the event. Ollie did not even have a chance to make an
entrance.
Ollie’s eyes glinted with mischief. <b>“</b><b>No </b><b>way </b>am I missing out on the fun this time,<b>” </b>he thought.
“Now that Bree’s with you, you should introduce her to the <b>rest </b><b>of </b>us, shouldn’t you? I’ve got a hot <b>spring </b>resort <b>in </b>Südlichen Strand. If you’re up for it, I can arrange everything.
You can consider this my wee gift to Bree,” Ollie cajoled.
Bowen thought for a while. Within <b>their </b>group, Ollie had <b>always </b><b>been </b>the one nning all <b>their </b><b>get</b><b>–</b><b>togethers</b><b>. </b><b>If </b>anyone could pull this off<b>, </b>it was him. And Ollie <b>was </b>right. It was time to bring Aubree into his social circle.
“Mark, you cane along too,” Bowen said.
“Then you bring Nina along,” Mark blurted out at once<b>. </b>
“Fine…” Bowen grumbled.

After Bowen arrived in Südlichen Strand, he and <b>Aubree </b>spent two <b>days </b><b>together </b><b>having </b>fun.
Meanwhile, Trevor had almost fully <b>recovered </b>from his injuries<b>. </b><b>As </b>a high–profile celebrity constantly under public scrutiny, he couldn’t risk stepping outside his home when his <b>face </b><b>was </b><b>still </b>swollen. He almost went nuts from the <b>constant </b>harassment over the <b>past </b>two <b>days</b>.
That pest, Milena Yurchenko, somehow found out it <b>was a </b>woman who <b>saved </b><b>Trevor </b>that <b>day</b>. Convinced <b>that </b>it was <b>his </b><b>ex</b><b>, </b>she <b>had </b>been bugging him nonstop these <b>past </b>two days, short <b>of </b>summoning people to break down his door.
Trevor feared that too muchmotion might <b>draw </b>the <b>reporters</b>.
With new grudges piling on old, <b>Trevor </b><b>was </b><b>practically </b>gnashing his teeth <b>at </b><b>Aubree</b>. The moment <b>his </b>injuries healed, he immediately began plotting his revenge. Furthermore<b>, </b>she hit him<b>. </b>She would <b>pay </b>for that.
Trevor’s phone sounded at this moment. <b>It </b>was a message from his assistant, Joey Reed,
[Mr. Wilson, I found it. Aubree Miller and Bowen Turner <b>are </b>heading to <b>Star </b><b>Lake </b>Hot Spring Resort together tomorrow.]
Trevor finally felt satisfied. He pulled out his phone and dialed a number. <b>The </b>call <b>was </b><b>picked </b>up almost immediately. On the other end, Milena’s voice rang out. “Trevor, you’ve finally decided to talk to me! I don’t like using such pressure tactics on you. You know I just can’t stand seeing you with other women.”
Sweet–talking women came <b>naturally </b>to Trevor. <b>He </b>said smoothly, “Sweetheart<b>, </b>you know that given your exalted status, there’s just no way I can give you what you’re asking for. Being with you makes me <b>feel </b>so suffocated. Deep down, <b>I </b>actually,”
The moment he said that<b>, </b>no more needed to be said. Milena instantly filled in the nks herself. “I’ll change<b>, </b>Trevor. <b>I’ve </b>thought things over, and I know I’ve made mistakes too. I should be more understanding. Do you think… is there any chance we could get back together<b>?</b><b>” </b>she pleaded.
Trevor made no promises but kept his tone deceptively gentle. “Sweetheart, I heard the Star Lake Hot Spring Resort in Südlichen Strand is quite nice. Why don’t we go there together tomorrow?<b>” </b>
“Great!” After the <b>call </b>ended, Milena <b>still </b>couldn’t <b>wipe </b>the excitement off her <b>face</b>. ‘What could it mean<b>? </b>Trevor invited me to the hot spring resort?‘ The more she thought about <b>it</b><b>, </b>the redder her cheeks <b>grew</b>. She dove into her closet<b>, </b>rejecting <b>one </b>swimsuit after another. “This one’s not sexy enough, that one’s too shy<b>, </b>and this innocuous one is just too in…
In the end, Milena decided she would just <b>go </b><b>out </b><b>with </b>her <b>bestie </b>and buy a <b>new </b><b>set</b>.
