Chapter 234

Since he couldn’t recall it right away, Ian didn’t overthink it. He saved the photo and had a short chat with

Ben.

After sorting everything out, Ian instructed him, “Don’t mention this to anyone else for now, including, but not limited to, Stanley and Jeffrey.”

“Alright,” Ben didn’t press for details, just agreed.

“Make sure to take care of yourself,” Ian said this and then left.

He had to figure out who this scar belonged to–and fast.

Even though Becky and Andrea were working together now, Ian still felt more secure digging into it himself.

After getting home, he dropped the photo into the girls‘ group chat and typed, “This scar looks pretty familiar -any of you remember seeing it before?”

As soon as the message went out, Jessica flooded the chat with a string of question marks.

Ian was totally baffled. “What’s up?”

Jessica didn’t bother replying–she just called him up and started yelling, “Ian, are you some kind of creep?”

“What do you mean, creep?” Ian was completely lost.

“If you’re not a creep, why are you even taking pictures of Rebecca’s thigh? Seriously?” Jessica blurted out, not even bothering to read the caption. “Are you out of your mind?”

Ian: “???”

Ian: “!!!”

Ian’s pupils practically shook in disbelief.

Jessica kept ranting, “Seriously, you say you like her, but you pull this disrespectful stunt–and you call that love? Where’s the respect?”

“Wait, are you absolutely sure the photo I just sent was of Becky’s thigh?” Ian’s voice brimmed with pure excitement and anticipation.

Jessica raised an eyebrow as a hint of annoyance crept in.

‘That tone? Seriously?‘ she thought to herself.

‘Why does he have to sound so damn cocky?‘

“Get Becky to check if that’s her scar–like, right now!” Ian was practically losing his mind; he’d never felt this out of control before. “Once you confirm, reply to me in the group chat. It’s super important!!!”
