Celine snorted derisively when she heard those words. These few days, Melody had been constantly causing problems for Halley, Carly must have had a hand in that too.

They were nning on humiliating Halley tomorrow? It still hadn’t been determined who would be the one humiliated yet,

Celine returned to the females hostel. Halley was just about to go out with Den’s ck jacket in her arms when Celine stopped her.

“Hailey, wait a minute.”

Hailey bhad /bbeen nning on taking Den’s jacket to the dry cleaners. She stopped in her tracks.

“What is it, Celine?

Celine took out a colorful candy. “Hailey, this is for you.”

Hailey loved sweet foods, so she happily took the colorful candy and put it into her mouth. “Thank yo

Hailey immediately tried to spit the bitter candy out of her montiu

you… Ah! It’s bitter.”

However, Celine bcovered /bher mouth. “Don’t spit it out! The most bitter medicine is often the most effective. Quick. Swallow it‘

Hailey could only swallow the bitter candy, “Celine, what’s this? Why is it so bitter?”

Celine looked at Halley’s pretty face under the birthunark and winked mysteriously. “It’s a secret. You’ll find out tomorrow.”

“I’ll get going then” With that, Hailey ran off.

Halley dry–cleaned Den’s bck /bjacket, folded it, and put it into a bag before going to the ssroom to look for Den.

“Hey there. I’m looking for someone” Hailey stopped a male student.

The student looked bat /bHalley. “Are you looking for Den?”

Hailey was surprised. “How did you know?” She hadn’t said anything yet.

The studentughed. “Many girlse to our ss looking for Den. We’re all used to

Was Den that popr?

Even though Den and Ewan were the two best–loolding men at Yorhine University, Den wasparatively more under the bradar /baspared to Ewan. Furthermore, Den wasn’t seen often in school.

Despite all that, many girls still came to him

“Then is Den around? I have something for him.”

The ssmate shook his head. “Den hasn’te to school for a few days. He must have been working.”

Hailey was stunned.

“You should have heard about Den’s family’s financial status before. His father had passed away a long time bago/bb, /bband /bhis mother’s blind. He bhas /ba younger sister too, who’s just started junior high.

“Den’s grades are really bgood/b. He was the district’s top bscorer /bin the college entrance exam, and Yorhino University only got him because it offered him full schrship

“However, he still needed to take care of his familyb, /bso he stepped into society and started working early on.

“If you’re looking for him, byou /bcan try going to his home.”

Hailey had only heard before that Den’s father was a drug dealer, but she hadn’t known about his blind mother or younger sister,

“Then can you tell me where Den’s home is?”

“It’s at the Third Shanty.”

“Thank byou /b”

Hailey nned on going to look for Den, but before that, she went to the supermarket to buy a few expensive supplements before taking an Uber to

Third Shanty

Third Shanty was leated in the slum area, which was dark and wet. It was Halley’s first time stepping foot in an area like thisb, /bas she lived in Mercity’s most expensive housing area, Francis Court. The difference between the two ces bwas /blike heaven and earth.

Hailey held the luxurious gift box in her hands as she searched for his house ording to the baddress /bshe bwas /bgiven. It had just rained, and the muddy ground of the alleys dirtied the len of her skirt and her leather shoes.

Halley usually kept herself clean and tidy, but she suppressed her urge to wipe the ad ott as
