NovelEnglishChapter 1346:
Jordy answered with a calm smile. “Oh, just an old flame. We happened to bump into each other.”
The girl's expression cooled, a hint of disdain flickering in her eyes, but she didn’t say anything. Instead, she
radiated superiority.
Sylvie’s stomach twisted, her confidence faltering. She tried to keep her voice light. “Jordy, just because you're
successful now doesn’t mean you have to pretend there’s nothing between us. The past doesn’t just disappear.”
Jordy gently squeezed the girl’s hand. “Wait forover there? Ill just be a minute.”
“Alright,” the girl replied, nodding and stepping away with practiced grace.
Sylvie watched her go, jealousy gnawing at her. Was there any chance she could win Jordy back now, or had that
door been closed for good?
She couldn't hide her contempt, glaring at the girl's back before snapping at Jordy, “Is she even an adult?
Honestly, you're too old for her.”

But stay out of my personal life.” His patience was wearing thin, his hands shoved into his pockets as he kept
glancing over at the girl.
Sylvie’s irritation only grew sharper. “Wow, must feel really impressive, dating a college student.”
Jordy brushed off the insult without defending himself. “If you've got nothing important to say, I'm going to eat. |
don’t have tfor idle chatter.”
“Hold on.” Panic flared in Sylvie’s voice as she grabbed Jordy’s arm, forcing him to sit down. “My family’s in
trouble, Jordy. No contracts, barely able to pay wages—we’re on the brink. You've got plenty of money now.
Could you invest a little to help us out? | promise I'll pay you back after we recover.”
Sylvie’s tone slipped into desperation as she looked Jordy in the eye. “I’m begging you. For old times’ sake.”

“No,” Jordy replied without hesitation. “Your family isn’t worth a danymore. I'd be burning money if | threw it
your way. Try your luck elsewhere.”
Jordy was well aware that the Higgins family had crossed the Harper family. Until they received the Harpers’
forgiveness, any chance of a comeback was nothing more than a pipe dream.
Glancing aside, he spotted Brenna surrounded by her friends. He told Sylvie flatly, “If you really want another
shot, you'll have to beg Brenna for it.”
“I won't do that!” Sylvie shot back, her eyes welling up with tears as she looked at Jordy.
Jordy didn’t flinch. Sentiment meant nothing to him anymore; if it didn’t turn a profit, he wasn’t interested.
He stood up and walked over to Brenna'’s table. “Well, isn’t this a surprise. Didn't expect to see you here.”
Brenna motioned toward an empty chair. “There's room if you want to eat with us.”
“Thanks, but my girlfriend’s waiting.” Jordy glanced at Libby and Finley; their sharp suits and alert posture made
it clear they were on duty as bodyguards. Then, he looked at Lilith. She looked familiar, then he remembered—
she was Ernst’s fiancée.
He offered her a polite smile. “You must be Miss Richardson. I'm Jordy Barton, Brenna’s ex-boyfriend.”
Lilith glanced at Brenna, who gave a nod of confirmation.
