Chapter 141 Superb Acting Skills
“Oh my God, three hundred grand? I’ve got to work hard for ten years to afford a watch like Lincoln’s!”
“Comparisons are odious. We can’t possibly compare!”
“Lincoln has both looks and riches! This kind of man is truly perfect!”
“When are you going to break up with him, Mich? I want to book him in advance. I’m even content with being his girlfriend for a day!”
They all sang Lincoln and Michelle’s praises while also teasing them, causing them both to burst out laughing.
Ah, this feeling of being envied is truly great!
“I remember that you used to date Hilda in the past, Lincoln. Why did you two break up?” a long-haired girl in a dress asked out of the blue.
That girl was Yvonne White, and she was from the same dorm as Hilda back then, so she knew some things about Hilda and Lincoln.
Following that question, everyone abruptly went silent, and the atmosphere became awkward.
After all, Hilda and Michelle were roommates from the same dorm, so it was rather despicable of the latter to have somewhat stolen the former’s boyfriend.
At that turn of events, Lincoln suddenly put on a sorrowful expression and feigned hesitance as he murmured, “It’s a long story, and it’s also something I’m most reluctant to bring up. I gave Hilda my heart, yet she wasn’t satisfied at all. Besides her penchant for lavish spending, she also loved to frequent bars. In the end, she even became an exotic dancer. I really couldn’t take it anymore…”
His story was so moving that everyone looked at him with sympathy in their eyes.
It seemed that Lincoln still kept up with news of Hilda, for he even knew that she became an exotic dancer.
“I never thought that she’d be such a person! She looked all sweet and docile back then, but she actually became an exotic dancer at a bar?”
“We can never judge a book by its cover. She looked innocent and pure, but she turned out to be such a promiscuous woman!”
“I really pity Lincoln. He’s such a great guy and was so good to her back then, yet she just didn’t appreciate him!”
“I heard that she’ll also be attending the class reunion today. I really don’t understand where she got the courage to do so!”
“It isn’t worth it to grieve over such a woman, Lincoln. You and Mich make a good match now!”
Everyone condemned Hilda while consoling Lincoln.
With tears shimmering in his eyes, Lincoln nodded lightly. “It’s fortunate that I met Mich now. She’s a balm to my wounded heart!”
Undeniably, Lincoln’s acting skills were superb. In the blink of an eye, he managed to get everyone on his side. Everyone then heaped the blame on Hilda.
At that moment, Hilda still hadn’t any idea that she had already become the target of public criticism before she had even arrived.
“I’ve known Hilda for three years, and I didn’t even know that she’s such a person. No wonder she got herself an ex-convict for a boyfriend now.” Yvonne curled her lips.
The instant her words fell, everyone was astounded. They all gaped at her incredulously.
“Who told you that, Yvonne? Are you sure about that?” Michelle hurriedly inquired.
“I heard it from Yolanda. We spoke on the phone last night, and she told me that Hilda has an ex-convict for a boyfriend. I was also surprised at that time, but knowing that she’s an exotic dancer now, I think she’s lucky enough to bag him!” Yvonne answered.
A smile bloomed on Michelle’s face when she heard that. She then cooked up a plan to humiliate Hilda if the latter happened to bring her boyfriend along.
Meanwhile, the corners of Lincoln’s mouth turned up after he learned that Hilda had an ex-convict for a boyfriend.
At just that moment, Yolanda and Hilda arrived. They pushed open the door and sashayed in, with Jared following closely behind them.
“Hello, everyone! It’s been a long time!” Yolanda greeted as she stepped into the room.
