Mr. Fairchild's Rose: She is Wild and Proud Chapter 155 - 55: Was It a One-Sided Crush?

Henry Hughes’s voice turned cold too, biting off his words, "So, you’re playing word gas with ?"

Julian Fairchild didn’t deny it.

"Screw you!"

"Ah! Julian!!"

"Julian, are you okay?!"

"Henry Hughes, how can you just hit soone!!"

The stadium, which had quieted down because of Maeve Lane’s departure, exploded due to Henry Hughes’s sudden action.

Julian Fairchild barely managed to dodge, but his cheek was still grazed by the punch, leaving his handso face a bit disheveled, though his lips still curled up.

He looked sowhat defiant.

His gaze, as sharp as a blade, swept over Henry Hughes, whose fists were clenched, and he gestured for the people around to "stop" with a faint motion.

He wiped the wound on his face with his hand, coldly saying, "I’m in a good mood today, so I won’t bother with you."

Henry Hughes raised his fist again, but was quickly stopped by the people beside him!

"Henry, don’t be angry! Fair competition, fair competition! It’s no good to hit people!"

"Julian, you should also say a few less words. Henry just got rejected after confessing, his mood must be bad, don’t provoke him..."

"Yes, yes, you were originally good brothers..."

Henry Hughes broke free from the hands holding him, his eyes challenging, "Don’t forget she didn’t accept you just now either!"

"So what?" Julian retorted calmly, "You only have one week, or are you planning to be the first to breach the agreent?"

Henry Hughes gritted his teeth, "You had your excuses prepared long ago, waiting for to fall into the trap, right?"

The man didn’t argue, only calmly asked, "Do you know why today’s situation ca to be?"

"..."

Without waiting for Henry’s response, Julian continued, "I wouldn’t bet on Maeve Lane, no matter how confident I am, and you didn’t even think of a backup plan, yet dared to set a week’s wager. Should I say you’re naive, or blinded by Maeve’s closeness——"

"Of course." Julian’s tone suddenly changed, becoming sowhat arrogant, "Maeve never pursued you, so you’re definitely clueless, thinking the customized clothes and ga invites ant she treated you differently?"

Henry Hughes had never found Julian to be so talkative before, as if eager to show off.

"Has Maeve ever gotten up early to cross the entire Aurelia University just to bring you breakfast after class because you said so? Has she ever gone out of her way to be nice to you, rembering even the smallest of your habits?" Julian faced Henry, "These, and much more she has done for . Soone like her, who wouldn’t be moved by her kindness?"

Henry Hughes faintly felt sothing amiss.

Sure enough, Julian soon continued, "You’ve always thought it was I who rejected Maeve."

A thought flashed quickly in Henry’s mind, and before Julian spoke, his pupils slightly contracted in shock.

"Seems like you’ve guessed it." Julian didn’t feel the slightest sha in saying itout loud in front of everyone, even with a trace of endless regret, "In fact——"

"She rejected ."

A gasp rippled through the crowd.

"I didn’t expect... I always thought Julian rejected Maeve..."

"Maeve rejected Julian, oh my god, why..."

"So, all along it’s been Julian... one-sidedly liking Maeve..."

Henry’s gaze flickered, his heart already halfway cold.
