Chapter 187 Is She Deceiving Me?
The man noticed how Simone recognized him, and he smirked at her. “I knew it. You still remember me.” Simone walked over and took a seat, looking at the man as she responded to him. “Of course, I remember. Among all the men who pursued me, you were the least attractive, and you had the most cliché way of expressing yourself.” Little did she expect that this person would be Jodie’s brother.
During her college days, he had pursued her relentlessly. He even bothered her by standing downstairs outside her dormitory every day with a bouquet of roses each time. What was even more absurd was when he lit candles downstairs in the shape of a heart. He even brought a guitar and sang love songs. She was disgusted by his actions, and she called the security department back then.
He was forced to clean up the mess on the ground before he was taken away by the security. guards. Every Friday, she would leave the campus. He would wait at the school gate, and he would insist on taking her out for a meal. His actions annoyed her, and she found it very unpleasant. Leon found out about this, and he often came to pick her up from school during that time just to assert his dominance over this person. Gradually, this person stopped coming.
Right then, the man was stunned as he apparently found it hard to believe that she described him in such a manner. He questioned her with a serious look on his face. “How am I ugly? My way of expressing love is unique. How am I cliché?” Simone rolled her eyes at him. “You are simply unattractive, and your attempts at romance are exactly what netizens would call cheesy. Could you please have some self–awareness?”

It seemed to her then that he pursued her not out of love but with a hidden agenda. No wonder I found this guy so annoying at that time, Simone thought. She rarely hated someone s much, but her intuition told her to stay away from this man. In her previous life, her abilities in geomancy and mystical arts were not very advanced, so she didn’t manage to identify what was wrong with this man. But right then, as she looked at him, she felt an indescribable disgust.
She could tell that he didn’t just have issues but that they were also quite significant. The man was taken aback by her response, and his face turned even more sour than before. “You-!”
Simone waved her hand to brush him off. “Alright, enough with the nonsense. Why did you want to see me?” She had a strong impression of this person because, in her previous life, she happened to see him on the day that she was kidnapped. She could even recall how he had intentionally bumped into her on purpose on that day. Then, he apologized first before trying to initiate a conversation with her. She ignored him and headed off to the parking lot, where she fell into the trap and was kidnapped.
Looking back, it seemed like that was not a coincidence at all. From this new perspective, it also confirmed her previous suspicion. The ones who kidnapped her and Jodie weren’t really

enemies who wanted to extort the Gray Family, but rather, people who worked with Jodie. It was proven that Jodie was indeed not innocent.
The man could sense that Simone didn’t want to talk about the past. Yet, he couldn’t help but ask her a few questions. “Do you remember what my name is?” he asked. Simone had a good memory, so she naturally remembered his name. But there was no need to tell this guy the truth. “I don’t remember what your name is. I only remember how unattractive and sleazy you were.”
The man was infuriated again. He considered himself a very charming person, and he had played with countless women in the past. Many of them fell deeply in love with him. Yet, with Simone, he became unattractive and sleazy. What kind of taste does this woman have? Is she blind?
Although he pursued her with a hidden agenda, she was so beautiful that he naturally wanted to have her completely. He hadn’t expected that she would ignore him and avoid him. It was the first time he had failed so miserably in pursuing a woman, and this made him very unhappy.
He looked at Simone before speaking in a clear tone. “My name is Ernest Wilson. Remember it from now on.” Simone was speechless. “Why should I remember your name? Can’t you stop being so sleazy? If you have something to say, then just hurry up and get to it. Otherwise, I’ll leave.
