MainNovelChapter 1345:
“Please, you should be smarter than that. That bet’s weak. If you want a real challenge, pick something else, or
just leave,” Brenna waved off the idea, deciding Sylvie wasn’t worth the effort.
Finley stepped forward, his presence intimidating. Whitney immediately shrank behind Sylvie for cover.
Already uneasy, Sylvie shrank back too, rendered speechless by the bodyguard’s presence. Reluctantly, she led
Whitney away and back to their seats, defeated.
Lilith let out a mocking laugh. “I actually wanted to chat with Whitney, maybe ask where she’s working these
days. But after the way she acted, | don’t see the point. She’s not worth my time.”
Brenna took the menu from the waiter, picked out two dishes for herself, then handed it to Lilith, who ordered
next, followed by Libby and Finley.
Even though Libby and Finley were technically just her bodyguards, Brenna made sure to treat them as her
friends. “So, how did Sylvie manage to get released from prison so early?” Brenna asked. Her curiosity got the
best of her.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtFinley replied, “If someone behaves well in prison, they can get tknocked off their sentence. And if their
family’s got the right connections, that will be even easier. That's probably why she got out early.”
Brenna gave a thoughtful nod. “That actually adds up.”
While they were in the middle of their meal, Jordy arrived, a sweet-looking young woman by his side. She had
the kind of fresh-faced innocence that screamed college student.
Jordy’s eyes scanned the room, missing Brenna, but he spotted Sylvie right away.
Sylvie lit up at the sight of him and eagerly waved him over to their table. Jordy didn’t waste ton small talk.
“So, how'd you manage to get out of prison so soon?”

Sylvie had been out of prison for a while now and had learned a great deal about Jordy’s new status. He was no
longer just another rich kid. He had worked his way into the city’s elite, powerful enough to make waves in
Shirie.
The moment she heard about his rise, her thoughts immediately returned to their past. Maybe, just maybe, the
bond they once shared would be enough for Jordy to throw the Higgins family a lifeline—or even help them take
on the Harper family.
Hooking her arm through his, Sylvie flashed her most charming smile. “Jordy, long tno see. You've changed a
lot since we last met.”
She quickly realized, however, that he was no longer the same. There was a quiet strength in the way he held
himself, a hint of indifference in his gaze that hadn’t been there before. For a brief moment, it felt as though he
didn’t even recognize her.
The next second, Jordy pulled his arm away and stepped back. “Apologies, Miss Higgins, but | have plans today.”
He glanced toward the window, where a young woman waved at him. She was dressed in a loose white sweater,
effortlessly stylish, with an air of youthful energy. She looked like a college student—tall, poised, and undeniably
attractive.
Brenna noticed her as well, catching the way the girl carried herself with such grace. The girl hurried over,
slipping her arm through Jordy’s, her eyes flicking to Sylvie with a wary expression. “Mr. Barton, who's this?”
