Chapter 507 - 504: I’ll Get My Dad to Deal with Him

Gideon Lawson didn’t like this man one bit.

"Can you stop coming to the cafeteria to find Chloe Sinclair all the time? If you need to eat, why don’t you go to the one next to your computer science building? The food the ladies make over there is much better than what the guys make here."

"Chloe Sinclair has a boyfriend. If you’re really so capable, go and take down Jasper Shaw’s company. Though I doubt you’ll get the chance in this lifetime."

Ten thousand Wyatt Thornes put together couldn’t hold a candle to Jasper Shaw’s family fortune.

After saying his piece, Gideon turned to Chloe. "Done eating?"

Chloe Sinclair nodded. "Yeah, I’m done. Let’s go."

Throughout the entire exchange, no one had paid Wyatt Thorne any mind.

Wyatt Thorne’s face flushed with embarrassment, and he gritted his teeth.

"Chloe Sinclair!"

Chloe Sinclair stopped in her tracks. She turned back and asked, enunciating every word, "Wyatt Thorne, do you really think you’re so amazing that no one is allowed to turn you down?"

Wyatt Thorne fell silent.

But the truth was, Chloe Sinclair had hit the nail on the head.

He’d been his parents’ favorite since the day he was born. To put him through school, each of his older sisters had to give him a thousand a month for living expenses.

Even ten years ago, his allowance was many times more than what other people had.

But now that Chloe Sinclair had said it out loud, Wyatt Thorne felt like she was mocking him.

Chloe Sinclair knew her words had struck a nerve, and she smiled.

"There’s a world full of people more exceptional than you. Look at all the celebrities out there—is there any one of them who isn’t better-looking or more talented than you? And here at Emberfall University, it’s crawling with Geniuses; we’re not exactly short one more. So let me ask you, what do you think you have left?"

Wyatt Thorne was speechless.

He was only just now realizing that he had nothing.

The world was brimming with talent. What did that make him?

The realization dawned on Wyatt Thorne, and he wished he could find a hole to crawl into and disappear.

Just when he was at a loss, a woman suddenly emerged from the crowd.

Everyone looked. It was Yuna Sutton.

Yuna Sutton was wearing a little white dress with a fur collar, her lipstick a fiery red. She looked imperious as she snapped, "Chloe Sinclair, if you have a problem with me, just say so. If you’ve got the guts, come at me!"

Chloe Sinclair was a little dumbfounded.

"If you’re sick in the head, I can introduce you to my boyfriend’s private doctor to get your brain checked. It’s not like your family’s short on cash, anyway."

Yuna Sutton froze for a second before realizing Chloe Sinclair was insulting her. She was instantly displeased.

"How dare you bully my boyfriend and act so self-righteous!"

Hearing this, Wyatt Thorne, who was standing behind her, blanched.

The surrounding crowd, however, erupted in a flurry of discussion.

"Holy shit, I thought they hadn’t progressed that far. Turns out they’re already boyfriend and girlfriend?"

"Didn’t the computer science students say Wyatt Thorne was some unattainable ice prince? Now I’m starting to think he’s just a player."

"It’s not what you ’think’. It’s obvious he is one!"

"Damn, that was fast. Didn’t someone say he rejected her?"

"Hah. So if they’re a couple, what’s he doing constantly pestering Chloe Sinclair?"

"Unbelievable. How can people like that exist in this world?"

"Chloe Sinclair is so unlucky to have run into a guy like this. Good thing our Boss Shaw showed up when he did, otherwise..."

Wyatt Thorne’s love-bombing was always intense.

He’d never failed in a pursuit before.

Being shot down again and again like this put him in a foul mood.

Yuna Sutton’s declaration, in particular, made his skin crawl.

He took a step forward and grabbed Yuna Sutton’s arm. "Yuna Sutton, would you stop giving everyone the wrong idea? When did I ever become your boyfriend!"

’How can this woman be so stupid?’

’She’s a student at Emberfall University, for crying out loud, yet she says and does things without a single thought!’

Seeing how angry Wyatt Thorne was, Yuna Sutton looked aggrieved. "But before, you said..."

"What did I say?!"

Wyatt Thorne grew frantic. He lowered his voice, speaking just loud enough for the two of them to hear, "Yuna, I just want to focus on my studies right now. We can talk about relationships later."

Yuna Sutton replied, "But I want to be with you now! I know you like Chloe Sinclair, but you’ve confessed to her so many times already. There’s nothing you can do if she just doesn’t like you back!"

It would have been better if Yuna hadn’t said anything. The moment Wyatt Thorne heard her words, he was so furious he almost coughed up blood.

He opened his mouth, but he swallowed the harsh words that were on the tip of his tongue.

But Chloe Sinclair cut in. "Since you already have a girlfriend, I hope you’ll remember to keep a respectable distance. I have a boyfriend. Stop harassing me. Otherwise, next time, I won’t just embarrass you—I’ll make sure you end up at the police station ’having a cup of tea.’"
