She Became Rich After Divorce

Chapter 723: In My Eyes, You're Just a Jerk

If it weren't for Sean remembering that his older sister Nora was also at the bar, he might have lost an arm tonight as he anxiously rushed to the door of the private room. As for Mikaela's claim that the Lawrence family owed her a life, Sean was utterly puzzled and bewildered.

Taking a deep breath, he spoke, pulling at the wound on his mouth, causing a sharp pain that made him grit his teeth.

"Mikaela, what are you saying? What about owing a life?"

Mikaela's gaze turned to Nora, her red lips parting as she replied with clarity, "You should ask your good sister!"

"Nora, are you too guilty to admit it? What did you do four years ago, did you forget it so soon?"

This last sentence from Mikaela resonated strongly throughout the private room.

Four years ago? Nora stood still in a daze, her pupils instinctively shrinking slightly. She then carefully examined the girl with long hair before her and faintly found a resemblance in her features. Matilda Buck! Right, she almost forgot about this. She never expected that Matilda would choose to jump off the building in the end. She only asked Danielle to teach that girl a lesson. It was her own decision to jump off, what did it have to do with her?

After the incident, public opinion criticized Cheyenne, everyone thought she bullied Matilda, leading to Matilda's suicide. Akloit High School was a prestigious school for the wealthy, so when this incident happened, it even made the newspaper, drawing the attention of society and the school authorities.

The police also conducted an investigation but found no trace of evidence at the scene. Although public opinion indirectly implicated Cheyenne, she provided an alibi and proved her innocence.

With Cheyenne dropping out of school and getting married, public opinion gradually subsided, and the matter eventually faded away. Nora thought this matter would be buried forever, without any incidents happening for four years, and now suddenly being brought up by Mikaela, fear emerged from her heart. She was sweating profusely.

"What's your relationship with her?" With a slightly hoarse voice, Sean couldn't help but ask in his mind, "her?"

Which "her"? What was his sister talking about?

Before Nora asked this question, she already had a rough idea in her heart. Looking somewhat similar and having the same last name "Buck," if she guessed correctly, they should be sisters. It wasn't hard to understand why Mikaela knew about this matter and why she suddenly mentioned it today, she was here for revenge!

In a daze, Nora thought of another, even more brutal truth. Her sultry red lips tightened into a straight line, a visible anger apparent at the corner of her lips.

"Are you deliberately getting close to Sean? You want to retaliate against our Lawrence family, so you've gone to great lengths to become his girlfriend!"

Boom! Nora's words made Sean's head ache even more, the wound on his mouth still burning, but all of this paled in comparison to the agony he felt from Mikaela's response.

Her heart felt as if it had been torn apart by an invisible force, blood flowing freely.

"Yes, I deliberately got close to Sean and made him fall in love with me. If it weren't for avenging my sister, would I even look at a worthless guy like him?"

As it turned out, in Mikaela's eyes, he was just a good-for-nothing.

Sean's jaw trembled with anger, and fiery flames lit up his eyes as he glared at her, gritting his teeth as he asked again, "In your eyes, am I just a good-for-nothing?"

"All these years, I've been so good to you, and all you can think of is plotting against me and my family? Mikaela, I really misjudged you."

Knowing that she had no money, he always saved his allowance to help pay her tuition fees.

After winning prize money in an e-sports competition, the first thing he did was to buy her a gift.

He never missed her birthday.

Aren't all of these worth mentioning?

Mikaela stared at Sean's face, beaten to the point of being almost unbearable to look at. His gaze was so serious that she felt she had come back to the first time when they met.

He, with his unexpected dark circles,

accidentally bumped into her,

causing her books to fall to the

ground. Books she had struggled to

borrow got dirty and she was

scolded by the teacher in class.

Suddenly, she heard someone calling her name at the classroom door. She looked up, only to see a boy in a white shirt, standing with his back to the sun, flashing a big smile at her. He ran up to her, drenched in sweat, and handed her a newly bought book.

"Sorry, classmate. This book is for you."

She opened the book, and the first page was filled with sloppy handwriting, but it was somewhat cute-"My name is Sean Lawrence."

It had been three years.

It would be a lie to say she felt no affection for Sean, even after such a long time.

He, who was fond of play, would wake up early to accompany her to the library because she said she wanted him to study diligently. When he wanted to stay up all night playing games at the internet café, he would change his mind because she said it wasn't good for him.

After winning a competition, he would take her out to eat well and buy her gifts.

Actually, many times Mikaela had thought about giving up revenge and being with Sean, going to college, and getting married in the future...

But last time at the Western

restaurant, after the surprise Sean

prepared for her turned into a public humiliation from Nora, MikaelaContent bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

understood their backgrounds didn't match, and they had no future together.

She couldn't let go of her poor but warm family, and Sean, as a rich boy, didn't have the courage to give up everything for her.

In the end, their love was too naive and couldn't withstand reality's scrutiny.

She smiled bitterly, closed her eyes softly, and said in a gentle voice, "Sean, you're too naive. You've never thought about our future. If I follow you, I'm doomed to be disliked by your family, and what about you? Would you stand up to them for me?"

He suddenly choked up at her question. Sean had never thought about the answer.

As for the answer, it was naturally no.

Seeing her foolish brother still lingering over this calculating woman, Nora was itching with anger. If he wasn't heavily injured at the moment, she really wanted to hit him to wake him up. "Sean, snap out of it. She wants to ruin me and the Lawrence family now!"
