Chapter 109 Shocked
The group sat down at a table opposite Simone and Gwen.
Since Simone and Gwen were sitting in a dark corner and they deliberately sat sideways, the people on that side didn’t notice.
After the group sat down, Jodie and Innocent Lily didn’t sit with the other girls.
Instead, one sat next to Titus, and the other sat next to Harold.
The four of them were sitting on a large couch, with two men in the middle and two women on the sides.
After ordering drinks, Titus and Harold leaned in to chat while Jodie and Innocent Lily poured drinks for them, giving the impression of two couples.
Simone, with her good hearing, could vaguely hear their conversation.
Sc*mbag No. 2 was discussing investing in web dramas, specifically the new drama of Sc*mbag No. 4, with Useless Rock.
Curious, Simone asked Gwen, “Were Sc*mbag No. 2 and Useless Rock close before?”
She wasn’t very familiar with Harold. When she arrived at Cebros, he went abroad.
Gwen whispered, “Sc*mbag No. 2, Useless Rock, and Leon were all high school classmates. They were a tight–knit trio during their school days.” She added, “Sc*mbag No. 2 is two years older than us. He dropped out for two years before returning to our grade.”
That was why she had Sc*mbag No. 2’s contact.
Leon came to Cebros during his first year of high school, but she couldn’t due to her grandfather.

back together
Unfortunately, her grandfather passed away during her second year of high school.
At that time, Gwen wanted to stay and be with Simone.
However, with a significant inheritance in her hands, her mother persuaded her grandmother and father to transfer her back to Cebros for school.
As a result, she ended up in the same class as Leon.
To defy her mother and due to her rebellious ne at the time, she pretended to be a bad student, but behind the scenes, Gwen actually studied with Simone. So, she had a solid

foundation.
However, during exams, she would randomly fill in the answers, intentionally maintaining the last–place record.
Every time her mother saw her grades, she would be furious. It wasn’t because she cared about Gwen’s future but because she felt embarrassed.
After all, both Skyler and Leon were influential figures in school when they were students.
Both of them consistently ranked in the top three of the entire grade.
The other cousins and siblings also had good grades.
Every time the Fosters used Gwen to taunt her mother, she found it quite amusing.
In their year, Harold was a genius student, always ranking first in the whole school. After Gwen transferred, the teacher arranged her seat next to Harold. He had a cold temperament, and she initially tried to start a conversation, but he was very indifferent.
After that, she ignored him.
Later, she was pursued by a boy outside of school.
She didn’t agree and told him to go away
When the boy’s ex–girlfriend found out, she brought a group of about ten people to confront her.
Gwen was capable of fighting, but there were too many of them. Before she could react, the girl took a brick and smashed it toward Gwen’s head.
At that time, Harold happened to pass by that alley. So, he swung his backpack and hit the girl, saving Gwen from being hit on the head.
He also stepped in and beat down several boys who were surrounding her.
Although Harold had a cold temperament, he was good–looking and always a top student.
That day, seeing him fighting in his school uniform, Gwen suddenly found him very hot and had a crush on him. Because of this incident, she no longer pretended to be a bad student but instead worked hard to catch up with him.
She would often pester him and ask about acadernic matters.
He would sometimes get impatient, but he would still carefully explain the questions to her.

Other girls saw this and started to seek his help, but he would coldly refuse.
Every month, she would bother him to go out and play.
As a result, they stopped talking.
Seeing Simone decisively break up with Leon, Gwen suddenly felt exhausted.
That was when she decided to let go, stop entangling with him, and return to the country to accompany Simone.
