Loved You Once But He's My Forever

Chapter 332 Intentions or Love at First Sight?

The group stared at Sadie curiously. "Wait, Sadie, are you truly saying you can't cover tens of thousands?"

"I read in the news that your dad's company handles billion-dollar projects. Didn't you even donate a building? Surely this meal-"

"Who said I can't afford it?" Sadie interrupted firmly. "I'm just worried there'll be too much wine, and no one will finish it." She scrambled to come up with an excuse.

One of her classmates grinned. "Don't worry about that. The guys in our class can handle their drinks. Let's go with a bottle of red wine for each person to start!" Sadie was momentarily speechless.

At that moment, she must have felt trapped, unable to back out without consequences. The thought of her true identity being exposed and her carefully crafted image as a wealthy heiress crumbling terrified her.

If I hadn't transferred to this university, she might still be living comfortably in her façade. My presence disrupted everything, and now, even tears wouldn't help her situation.

Her identity felt like a precarious secret hanging over her, and the power to reveal it rested entirely in my hands.

As long as I was around, Sadie would live in constant fear.

Meanwhile, her classmates continued to lavish her with praise. Most of them came from modest backgrounds, so a bottle of wine worth tens of thousands was an extravagance. The boys weren't the only ones enjoying it; even the girls joined in.

Yael raised his glass toward me with a friendly smile. "Welcome to our class, Zoey."

Remembering that this body couldn't handle alcohol well, I took a tiny sip. "Thank you, but I'm not great with alcohol. Sorry."

"That's okay," Yael said, understanding.
