Chapter 282 Congrattions You yed Yourself
Eliza didn’t agree with Colton’s usation of betrayal.
She said. “This is between us, Colton. Stay <b>out </b>of it”
“Us? So now it’s you and Henry, huh?”
Colton nearlyughed in disbelief.
“Eliza, how could you do this? Don’t you feel guilty toward Nn?”

“When Nn got engaged to ine <b>and </b>kept it from me, was he <b>thinking </b>about whether it was fair <b>to </b>me?”
That shut Colton uppletely. He opened his mouth, but nothing came out.
“Colton, I’ve always seen you as a good friend. l’in engaged to Henry now, and I’d hoped you’d give us your blessing. Rtionships aren’t so easy to exin. As for me and Nn, there’s no chance now.”
–
When Eliza said there was no chance now between her <b>and </b>Nn. Henry nced at her.
e still
No chance now… That didn’t mean no chance ever. But Colton didn’t pick up on the nuance in her words. He thought Eliza had gone too far.
“Fine, Eliza. If you’re really with him, then let’s just not be friends anymore. We’re done.”
He reached for Lewis. “Come on, Lewis, we’re leaving.”
But Lewis held him back.
Colton frowned. “What’s that supposed to mean?”
Lewis smiled at Eliza and Henry. “You two are getting engaged. As your friends, we congratte you. Colton just tends to act impulsively–don’t take it to heart.”
Colton’s face turned ck as soon as he heard Lewis speak so politely, “Lewis! What the hell are you <b>saying</b>?”
“We’ve got things to <b>do</b><b>, </b>so we’ll head out.”
Lewis kept up the surface–level courtesy and then dragged Colton toward the exit.
Colton growled, “When did I ever say congrattions? Those two are traitors!”
“Nn was the one who wronged Eliza first. <b>What </b>else is there to say?”
“She still shouldn’t be going <b>this </b>far with Henry, should she? Engaged? If she does that, then she and Nn are done for good.”
“That’s not our concern,”
Lewis replied, “Just worry about yourself. I don’t think things between Nn and Eliza are as bad as they
“Not that bad? Did you not see the way Eliza acted <b>just </b>now?”

The more Colton thought about it, the angrier he got.
“You clearly didn’t understand a word she <b>said </b>back there.”

“What do you mean I didn’t understand? She was obviously saying she’s not calling off the engagement wit Henry.
Colton had heard her loud and clear–Eliza wasn’t backing out of her engagement, and she had said there <b>was </b>no chance with Nn.
Lewis reminded <b>him</b>. “She said there’s no chance with Nn right now. She didn’t say forever.
Colton’s brows furrowed. Was that what she meant?
“You get it now?”
“Maybe you heard her wrong<b>.</b>”
Not far away, Henry handed Eliza a ss of champagne. “Feeling upset?”
“No.<b>” </b>
She shook her head. “I didn’t tell them in advance, so I get why they’re mad.”
Henry raised a hand and tapped her lightly on the forehead. “You understand everything–don’t you think you’re a little too good–natured?”
For a second, <b>when </b>Eliza looked up at him, she felt like she was looking at the Henry from their high school days.
No schemes; just a warm, sunny boy.
“Remember, you’re the noble daughter of the Sue family. You don’t need to cater to others, and you sure as hell don’t need to understand them. Your status is powerful enough–they should be the ones understanding and adjusting to you.”
“I know. But Colton and Lewis are my friends. If it were anyone else, I wouldn’t bother trying to understand
them.”
“As long as you know that.”
While the two were talking. Naomi walked over from across the room.
She <b>wore </b>a flowing white gown, and looked like a proud, elegant swan. From the <b>moment </b>she entered, she had drawn the attention of nearly everyone.
Naomi had dressed beautifully, with just the right touch of mature allure in her features.
She was incredibly <b>popr </b>among the guys; many of them wanted to befriend her.
<b>As </b>soon as she stepped <b>into </b>the <b>room</b>, a crowd of boys swarmed around her.
She stood out even more in that sea of men–but she never favored just one. Every guy there looked utterly enchanted by her.

Eliza had long known what Naomi was capable of. Naomi had a way of making men fall head over heels for
her<b>. </b>
Meanwhile, a group of girls nearby shot Naomi dirty looks.
<b>“</b>All she does is flirt with guys every day, like she’s desperate for attention. Honestly, it’s pathetic.”
“Right? She thinks she’s some knockout, but it’s all just because she acts cheap.”
“Everyone knows she got in through the back door by sleeping with someone. These guys are idiots for falling for it.”
