Chapter 240
Thala**a and Hertha turned around
There stood a man sporting a crisp short haircut and decked out in a British suit
His handsome face radiated an aristocratic aura, his charisma second to none.
It was Leopold!
Upon seeing Leopold, Thala**a frowned, puzzled why he seemed to always pop up around her.
Hertha’s eyes lit up. She hadn’t expected Leopold to show up!
Normally, running into old cla**mates should be a happy occasion, but recalling how Leopold had loved Thala**a so deeply, yet betrayed her and even had an affair with Thala**a’s cousin Isabella, Hertha didn’t have a good impression on Leopold.
Debby instantly got up, a flattering smile plastered on her face, “Leopold, you’re here too. We’re so lucky to bump into you here.”
Debby’s crush on Leopold hadn’t faded, and seeing him got her all excited. Her attitude towards him was a far cry from how she treated
Thala**a
Leopold, however, didn’t even spare Debby a glance. He went straight to Thala**a’s side with a gentle smile on his face.
The bar’s neon lights played across his handsome face, illuminating his smile, and making it even more dazzling.
“Thala**a, what a coincidence. We meet again.” Leopold’s eyes were all for Thala**a
He reached out his hand, attempting to hold Thala**a’s.
Thala**a deftly dodged.
With one hand on Hertha’s arm and the other around her shoulder, both Thala**a’s hands were occupied.
Thala**a kept her distance with a forced smile, “We’re all cla**mates, it’s fate that brought us all here.”
Hertha nodded, “Exactly.”
Leopold understood that Thala**a was rejecting him, because her attitude towards him remained cold.
His smile turned bitter, “Thala**a, what should I do for you to forgive me?”
Debby had been chasing after Leopold with everything she had, but he never reciprocated, and now Thala**a even dared to openly reject him.
Although Debby couldn’t win Leopold over, she didn’t want to see him hurt.
Debby felt disgruntled. She sneered at Thala**a, “Who do you think you are, a country bumpkin without a background, what right do you have to embarra** others? Leopold being nice to you is a blessing. What could he possibly do that you can’t forgive?”
Hearing this, Thala**a felt extremely uncomfortable. She laughed, “Who loves to butt in again?”
Debby was taken aback. She realized Thala**a’s words were a dig at her! She snapped, “I bet you’ll spend your whole life as a nobody and forever stuck in the same place!”
Leopold glared at Debby. “Shut up!”
Hertha had long been fed up with Debby’s mockery of Thala**a. She snorted, “Debby, sounds like you’re just jealous. Just so you know, Thala**a has a boyfriend now, and he’s way better than Leopold.”
Leopold’s eyes darkened at Hertha’s words. Shock and pain washed over him.
He looked at Thala**a. Thala**a had a boyfriend?
Debby scoffed in disbelief, “Stop showing off for nothing. Who could possibly be better than Leopold? I’m actually curious. Who is Thala**a’s boyfriend?”
Hertha was fed up with Debby’s condescending attitude, “I’m afraid once I tell you, you’ll be shocked.”
Thala**a had a bad feeling. She discreetly tugged at Hertha’s sleeve, signaling her to stop.
But Hertha was too excited to notice her warning.
“Spit it out then. Debby taunted.
Hertha stood tall and proud, “Thala**a’s boyfriend is none other than the CEO of the Sinclair group, Lysander! How about that, scared you, didn’t I?”
Hertha laughed triumphantly.
Thala**a choked a bit. Why did Hertha have to spill everything?
