NovelAppChapter 257 | Chris' tone couldn't sound any harsher.
"I understand you, Chris. No matter what I do, Mrs. Gildon won't like me. I'm sorry for dragging you into this emotional mess." Jewel had gotten the gist of it. Nevertheless, her apology was self-effacing. She hadn't done anything that warranted it. Even if she had, it would've been due to her overwhelming love for him. Otherwise, she wouldn't have endured those grievances for him.
"I don't mind the mess because I deserved it, but you should stop creating trouble for yourself." Chris sounded unusually cranky.

"Explain Yerick then." When Chris brought him up, I knew he planned to confront Jewel.
"What's with Ricky? Did he ask you to clean up his mess again?" Her voice turned nervous. Chris huffed. "Are you acting clueless?" "Chris, I really don't know what you're talking about." The innocent Jewel becanxious.
"Yerick is pursuing Madeline." I felt the grip on my arm tighten when Chris said that, and I locked eyes with Brandon, who wore a frown.

"He's probably just toying with her for fun because Madeline molested him was at a loss for words. Id explained myself regarding that incident and even proved Yerick had lied when the police checked the surveillance footage. So, I couldn't believe Jewel was still using that against"You actually think I don't know about that?" That statement similarly angered Chris.
"Chris, let's not talk about that anymore. I swear I didn't know Yerick was pursuing her. I'll call and warn him to quit his antics!" Jewel promised him.
Receiving no response from Chris, she softly added, "Think about it, Chris. There's no way I told him to pursue Madeline. If she ends up dating him out of spite, I'd be the first to be repulsed by their relationship. Don't you think?" I was glad she knew as much.

"I don't know. I didn't even know Madeline liked that. I've only seen you sending her regular white roses," Jewel explained.
Chris had no words to refute her statement, and I was similarly baffled. How did Yerick, that rascal, know that I liked the white rose of York then? Did he investigate me? Just as I thought of that, I heard Xander's voice. "How long do you two plan to hug? The food is getting cold."
At his words, I finally realized I'd been in Brandon's arms all this tMy I face instantly flushed, and I quickly En escaped from his embrace. "You two carry on. I have to get back to my table."
I was ready to leave right then, but Brandon tugged at me. Whend turned around saw Chris and Jewel looking at us.
