Chapter 690

"Was it your own doing finding me, or did someone put you up to it?"

He came with a whole entourage, clearly ready for a showdown.

Did you manage to squeeze anything out of him?"

Ludwik recalled the scene, a chill spreading, "I confronted Lane, asking if Bryce had set him up.

His face gave him away.

Most likely... Bryce again."

"That scoundrel, what grudge does he have against you, constantly kicking you when you're down, aiming to take you out with every move." Ashton couldn't hold back his curse any longer.

Ludwik remained expressionless, "Because of Whitney. And my previous run-ins with him."

"Only a coward resorts to such underhanded tactics!

Bryce must be in cahoots with Jarvis by now, their gang itching to see you destroyed."

Ashton lamented, "Last time in the detention center, Bryce had already made a move on your turf.

He wants to torment you! Watching you pine for Whitney as she moves in with him.

Ludwik, can you really swallow this bitter pill?

I know you feel stripped of your pride, disheartened, thinking you can't win Whitney over, that your whole world has turned dark.

But you've got to shake off this despondency.

Bryce, that bastard, you used to not even spare him a glance. Stand up and fight back!"

Ludwik's expression froze, his mind a mess.

After a moment, a bitter smile crossed his heart.

He had dreamt of Whitney last night, her kindness and gentleness visiting him.

Crying, he spoke words long buried in his heart.

He had been too arrogant, assuming she would understand his unspoken love, afraid to show how much he valued her.
