Chapter 24 Who Do You Want To Marry? Calista hesitated, then stopped. Paul was clearly drunk. His clothes were rumpled. His voice was hoarse when he said, “I’m sorry.. about last time” Calista knew what he was talking about. It was about the recording of her proposing to him. Back then, she was going around begging for money to pay off her debt. When the recording was leaked, it was the last straw for her. At that time, everyone thought she should sleep with more men for money. They believed she was already comfortable with it, and money would just come. So, they considered her debt of a few hundred million dollars to be simple for her. Even after three years, the memory was still stark. “We did talk about marriage back then, but that was just a consensual transaction on both sides,” Calista said calmly. That did not mean that she had let it go. She continued. “You could have just rejected me and cursed me for it. I wouldn’t have minded. But why did you put it on the Internet? No matter how much you hated me, you shouldn’t have done it! In the end, she still got emotional. Once she was finished, Paul laughed. “You thought I was the one who leaked the recording?” Calista did not answer, but her silence was answer enough. There were only two people in the recording.

The balcony was pretty spacious. Calista went to a corner. She kept her distance from Paul and occupied herself on her phone. The silence lasted for a while until Paul broke it. “How have you been?” Calista paused. She knew he was asking about her marriage to Lucian. She smiled and answered simply, “Not well. I should have listened to you.” He knew his friend well. When Calista and Lucian’s engagement broke out, Paul had told her that they weren’t suitable for each other. He told her that Lucian was in love with someone else and that her marriage wouldn’t last. At the time, Calista was already at her wits‘ end. She did not care whether they were suitable or not. To her, Lucian was her savior. Looking back, she had acted rashly A scoff sounded suddenly. “Listened to him?” Calista jumped and looked back. Lucian sauntered in, his expression dark. “Listened to him and went to the loansharks? Got sold as a prostitute abroad?” Paul frowned when he saw him. For the first time ever, he felt the animosity from his friend. “That’s harsh, Lucian. Don’t twist her words.” Lucian glanced at him. “You’re the party’s host.
