Chapter 55

Originally, the plan was to use thisaituation to smear Elara, making everyone think she was just a terrible person. But unexpectedly, Elara turned the tables.

Now, everyone knew that Asher had confessed to Elara and been rejected. Daphne glared at Elara angrily, wanting to argue but unable to find the right words in the moment.

Elara's lips curled into a smile as she spoke lightly. "Oh, don't be mad. I know you only said that because you care about Asher, Daphne, I know you're truly devoted to him, otherwise you wouldn't be standing up for him right now "But really, you can relax. Asher likes you a lot. He's only using me to get back at you because you two had a fight. Deep down, the person he cares about the most is still you.

"Everyone here knows that, right? He used to treat you so well. Whenever you were sick, he was the most worried. So, you two should be together. Don't let any misunderstandings arise because of me."

After saying that, Elara glanced at Asher. "Aren't you going to explain things to your sweetheart? You told me before that only wanted to be with me to upset her, didn't you?" Asher lifted his head, looking at Elara. She said all of this so casually as if it were nothing. It was true that there was an element of him wanting to get back at Daphne before. But now

But now, hearing Elara say this left Asher feeling embarrassed.

E YOU

What does she mean? I said I wanted to be with her, and she just rejected me? Everyone knew she used to be so into me, but now that I'm serious about her, she's treating me like I'm just some simp? he thought. Back on his birthday, Asher thought he'd hit rock bottom in terms of embarrassment. He never imagined Elara would humiliate him once again. This was the second time.

Even when she suggested he surpass Lysander, it had all been to make fun of him. Elara had always been close to Lysander, and the way she treated him wasn't an act

As Asher thought it over, he realized that other than asking her father to help him that one time, Elara hadn't really done anything for him.

In fact, Elara didn't even want to walk to and from school with him each day. It turned out Elara found him embarrassing thinking he wasn't worthy to be with her.

Staring at her, Asher said, "Elara, I gave you a chance. You're the one who didn't want it

Asher had been sincere about wanting to be with her, but not only had she shown no gratitude, she'd treated him like this. Hmph. I was the fool, letting her play me like that, he thought.
