Chapter 59
When class ended that afternoon, we reached the classroom door to find that Lina was already waiting there.
A few concerned glances swept towardat once. Felicia was so agitated that she senta message
immediately.
"She's lying to you! Don't believe her!"
However, | still left with Lina, because | wanted to see how she would carry out her act. | hadn't expected her to
takestraight to the Black Dragon.
| was amused. "Lina, why did you bringhere? Are you going to buylunch?"
Lina choked slightly. "Where would I get the money to treat you to a meal at a place like this? It's just that we
had a misunderstanding here yesterday, didn't we? This restaurant puton the blacklist, right? Go and tell
them to takeoff the blacklist."

"Me? | don't have that kind of authority."
"Don't you have a VIP card?" She was agitated, and her voice had beclouder. She had forgotten to make
herself sound sweet.
| found it funny, so | said impassively, "I've already given the VIP card back to the restaurant. It's probably been
returned to its rightful owner already."
"What? You gave it back? Y-you were lucky enough to cacross it! Why would you give it back?" She stamped
her foot, looking anxious.
| shrugged. "I picked up something that belonged to someone else. Isn't returning
it to its owner the normal thing to do? What belongs to someone else will always belong to someone else.
"No matter how poor we are, we can't covet other people's money. Don't you think that materialistic people are
disgusting?"
Upon hearing this, Lina smiled awkwardly and remained silent. Then, she thought for a moment and pulled me
toward another restaurant, which was only slightly less expensive than the Black Dragon.
"William, treatto a meal. Didn't you get 500 thousand in prize money for your business? You haven't treated
| laughed coldly to myself. If | was going to buy a meal for anyone, it wouldn't be for her.
On the outside, | kept up my innocent demeanor. "lI wanted to buy you a meal too, but you didn't givethe
chance to. Didn't you dump me? You kept looking down on me, and you mockedwhenever we met."
Lina blushed and immediately hugged my arm. "I did all of that on purpose. | like you! | still like you, William.
Really."
She cupped my face in her hands and looked tenderly at me. "Let's make up, alright? | promise that if you make
| put an arm around her waist and smiled as | asked, "Really? | think you've got the order wrong though. You've
always known that | like you. However, whether you likeor not is hard to say. Don't you need to prove it to
me?"
Lina said at once, "How do you wantto prove it?"

"How about you give Ryan a call and tell him you don't like him and will never see him again? If you do that, I'll
believe you."
Ryan had been Lina's biggest safetyso far. Besides, Ryan had caused trouble forlast night, and | hadn't
taught him a lesson yet. I'd be killing two birds with one stone.
Lina immediately bit her lip hard. It was clear that Ryan wasn't that important to her because she was seriously
considering getting rid of him. However, she was still hesitating.
| smiled. "It's okay if you don't want to. | know that | can never compare to him in your heart. After all, | don't
even have a car."
"No, it's not like that." Lina was in a dilemma.
On the one hand, she could play the long gand catch herself a wealthy heir who wasn't that generous to
her.
On the other, she could get a poor devil likewho was generous to her and had 500 thousand in prize money.
Which would she choose?
In the end, she gritted her teeth and said, "Alright. I'll call him."
