Chapter 190: Chapter 190

Angus Langdon noticed Skylar Hughes didn’t look too happy and asked her, "What’s wrong? Why aren’t you happy?"

Skylar Hughes gave a bitter smile, lowered her head slightly, and said helplessly, "Paige Sterling refuses to listen to my explanation. She still has a lot of misunderstandings about me, and everyone else misunderstands me deeply too, like they don’t quite like me."

As she spoke, she glanced in Paige Sterling’s direction.

Those girls were happily chatting with Paige, but they were excluding Skylar Hughes, and wasn’t this thanks to Paige’s handiwork?

Angus also felt that Paige was being excessive, but he didn’t know how to comfort Skylar Hughes.

Summer Xavier, who was passing by and overheard their conversation, chuckled, "Complaining already? Not being liked is now Paige’s fault? And you’re blaming her because of how ugly you are?"

Angus looked at Summer Xavier, "Summer, show some respect with your words."

Summer Xavier smirked at Angus, "You two seem quite close lately, huh?"

"Nothing to do with me, just hoping you don’t always bring her around Paige. Paige is busy and doesn’t have time to deal with you guys all the time."

This made Angus unhappy, "Summer, what do you mean by that?"

He looked at Summer Xavier, "Your brother also doesn’t like Paige, right? Aren’t you afraid he’ll be upset with you getting so close to her?"

"My brother hates Paige?" Summer chuckled softly, "Which eye of yours saw my brother hating Paige?"

"Everyone knows this; it proves that Paige is really annoying."

Summer found it amusing, "Angus, do you think my brother is like you? His judgment is way better than yours."

Then she walked away.

Austin Xavier liked Paige Sterling. Besides Paige and someone as straightforward as Angus, probably everyone else knew it.

But her brother never mentioned it before, and now, he doesn’t even have the chance to.

Summer Xavier didn’t feel any sympathy for Austin Xavier at all, thinking he got what he deserved.

Angus, annoyed by Summer Xavier, turned back to Skylar Hughes, "That’s just how Summer is, not very likable. Don’t take it to heart."

Skylar Hughes looked disappointed, her eyes slightly red.

"I just don’t understand why everyone dislikes me so much, why Paige Sterling never listens to my explanations. We’ve been sisters for so many years, and she’d rather believe those baseless rumors than trust me..."

Angus awkwardly consoled her, "She’s always been like that, since we were kids. Just ignore her."

Angus also felt that Paige was often quite inconsiderate, which was indeed excessive.

So when Paige returned from the restroom, he stopped her.

Paige raised her gaze to glance at him.

"I remember you just lost to me, and now you’re still coming to me. What do you mean by that? Looking for trouble?"

Angus took a small step back, creating some distance between them, "Paige, I just want to talk, nothing else. Please don’t get aggressive."

Paige chuckled softly, "Alright then, what do you want to talk about?"

Angus said, "In the future, could you not always target Skylar Hughes? She hasn’t done anything wrong."

"You’re making me think that beating you up might be the best solution."

Before Angus could react, Paige really threw a punch at him.

Angus covered his punched nose, pointing at Paige, "Why would you hit someone!?"

"Why not? I warned you not to get in my face, and you didn’t listen. Did you have to wait for me to hit you to realize how serious I was?"

With nobody around, Paige stepped forward and started beating up Angus.

Julian Hawthorne, seeing that Paige hadn’t returned, came looking for her and saw her beating up Angus.

He stood by, waiting for Paige to finish, then walked over, acting like he knew nothing, "What happened?"

Paige said, "Young Master Langdon wanted to play a game with me. I couldn’t just refuse, so I played with him. Young Master Langdon seemed to enjoy it quite a bit."

Angus looked at Paige in shock, stunned by her blatant reversal of truth.

Julian glanced at Angus, "Oh, that’s what happened. If Young Master Langdon still wants to play, look for someone else." Get full chapters from 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹✶𝗳𝗶𝗿𝗲✶𝗻𝗲𝘁

Angus retorted, "What game, Paige just—"

Paige slapped Angus on the shoulder, feeling the weight of a ton, and then heard her threateningly say, "Young Master Langdon, how about we keep playing?"

Angus stiffened, his face turning pale.

He then glared at Paige, gritting his teeth, "No more games. Miss Sterling can find someone else to play with."

Paige nodded, linking her arm with Julian’s, "Then we’ll be leaving. But if Young Master Langdon wants to play such games again, I’d be happy to oblige."

What kind of game was this!

It’s like a bottomless pit of games!

A group of girls saw Paige returning and gathered around her, one of them asked Paige.

"God Sterling, can you reveal what kind of men you like?"

Paige didn’t answer, and the girl said, "Is it inconvenient to say? Never mind then..."

Paige shook her head, raising her hand to point in Julian Hawthorne’s direction.

But at that moment, a man walked in line with Julian, blocking him from view. So everyone saw that the man Paige was pointing at was... Angus Langdon?

The girls looked shocked.

Paige felt something was off and looked over, still seeing Julian.

Liking someone like Julian, what was so surprising about that?

Angus, unaware of what had just happened, although Paige hadn’t hit his face, now felt his whole body was in pain.

At this moment, Skylar Hughes came up to him, seemingly having something to say.

Angus asked, "Do you have something to say to me?"

"There’s something I think you should know."

Skylar Hughes said, "Earlier, everyone was asking what kind of man Paige likes, and she..."

Skylar Hughes paused, "She pointed at you."

Wasn’t Paige supposed to like Julian? Why point at him?

So Paige actually liked him?

Even though Paige’s attitude towards him was bad, often hitting him at the slightest disagreement.

Every time he saw Paige, she was indifferent and aloof towards him.

There was no sign that Paige liked him at all.

They say during puberty, boys show affection by bullying girls. Was Paige’s previous beating and hitting all to get his attention?

Being seen with Julian was to provoke him?

Angus looked terrified, yet somehow there was an indescribable excitement mixed in, his expression was very complex.

"Why would she like me?"

"Maybe she just likes your type."

Paige Sterling, such a woman, was hard for an average man to handle. But precisely because of this challenge, there would always be someone who can’t help but want to take it on, to conquer it.
