"I've been waiting for almost an hour. You're late today, he said, shaking his wrist like I hadn't noticed the time.
I took a deep breath, trying not to snap at him, and walked over.
I wasn't in my usual heels but wearing flats instead since my legs were still sore and shaky.
"Not feeling great today?" Brad asked, surprisingwith his sudden concern.

"Just cut to the chase, Brad, What do you want?" He ignored my question "Rough night?" This brat was getting bolder with each question, like he knew more than he was letting on.
I straightened up, forcing myself to stay calm. "If you've got something to say, say it. If not, get out before I call the cops and report you for harassment." "Heh," Brad chuckled. "Still holding a grudge, huh?" "Enough with the games. What do you really want?" I said, holding up my phone as a warning.
He flashed a mischievous grin. "I want to pursue you." I didn't even flinch. I knew he wasn't serious; he was just trying to get a reaction out of me.
If I lost my cool, he'd win.
I gave him a stern look, like I was scolding a kid. "Aren't you still underage? If you're serious about pursuing me, have your parents givea call." "Are you free this weekend?" Brad asked out of nowhere.
I ignored him, but he leaned in closer. "It's my birthday this weekend. Il be turning eighteen. So, how about coming to my party as my girlfriend?" Looking at his smug face, I could only think of one thing: Like a frog trying to date a princess.
I pursed my lips, deciding not to waste any more breath on him. "I don't care what gyou're playing. Stay away from me. Don't test me, or you'll regret it." As I spoke, I tapped my phone, eyeing his limited-edition sneakers and designer clothes-such a stark contrast to the scrappy kid who'd tried to frme back when we first met.
Tanya's sudden rise had clearly rubbed off on him too.
"You didn't tell Tanya you were coming here, did you? Or better yet, does Jace even know?" Brad snorted. "Don't try to scareby bringing them up." +25 BONUS Chapter 270 He was like a little monkey, thinking he ruled the jungle just because the tiger wasn't around. I gave him a small, amused smile. "If you want to keep enjoying your fancy lifestyle, you'd better back off. Because if you don't, you won't even be able to afford a bunch of flowers, let alone Gucci." I wasn't trying to insult him, just reminding him that his current status was borrowed.
Sure, Jace might be with Tanya now, but there's no way he'd let his ex bechis future brother-in-law's girlfriend. Brad was playing a dangerous game, and it showed on his face as it turned bright red with embarrassment.
He shot up from his seat. "Don't look down on me-I mean, don't underestimate me. Everything I'm wearing. I bought with my own money. Not a single cent cfrom him!" Is that so? I thought.

Funny, considering Tanya couldn't even afford a decent meal a while back. One of them was definitely lying. But they both had the sflaw: vanity.
Tanya, obsessed with appearances, was using Jace's money to keep up m her image, while Brad, with n background of his own, was strutting around in designer labels. Whether he was really spending his own cash or Jace's, only he knew. "Well, good for you, still trying to prove yourself," I said, voice dripping with sarcasm.
'Of course, I am- Brad began, but he stopped mid-sentence when there was a knock on the door.
I glanced over and saw Hayden standing there.
My heart skipped a beat. What was he doing here? Was he planning to start a fight?! Things could get messy, fast.
