Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance

On the car.

Without any prior agreement, both Mia and Leo clapped in unison for Jade who was sitting at the back.

Mia asked, "Jade, are you a silver-tongued devil or what?"

With an air of arrogance, Jade fluffed her bangs and smirked. "Hmph, I already planned to expose that bastard when I heard about it from Chad last night. I'd be a sinner if I helped him cover up such shocking news. And that ungrateful jerk actually had the guts to ask me out today. Like I, Jade, would ever fall for such a bad guy."

Leo curiously asked, "Jade, how did you know about the hourly hotel room and his... short performance?"

"My brother let it slip when he was cussing him out yesterday, and I overheard it," Jade confessed, looking at her friends innocently.

With curious eyes, she asked, "Chad, if he's that bad, what's so attractive about him?"

At that moment, Chad wished he could smack her out of the room.

He was her brother, not her boyfriend! How could he answer that!

So, Chad wrapped Jade in a blanket and threw her back into her room. "Chad-"
