NovelEnglishChapter 1355:
Sylvie lit up at the sight of him and eagerly waved him over to their table. Jordy didn’t waste ton small talk.
“So, how'd you manage to get out of prison so soon?”
Sylvie’s smile faded. “Why does that even matter? | was falsely accused, and once the truth cout, they let
Sylvie had been out of prison for a while now, and she'd learned a lot about Jordy’s new status. He was no longer
just another rich kid. He'd worked his way into the city’s elite, powerful enough to make waves in Shirie.
The moment she heard about his rise, her mind drifted back to their history. Maybe, just maybe, the bond they
had once shared would be enough for Jordy to throw the Higgins family a lifeline or even help them take on the
Harper family.
Hooking her arm through his, Sylvie put on her best smile. “Jordy, long tno see. You've changed a lot since
we last met.”
She quickly realized he wasn’t the same. There was a quiet strength in the way he held himself, a hint of

The next second, Jordy pulled his arm away and stepped back. “Apologies, Miss Higgins, but I've got plans
today.”
He glanced over at the window, where a young woman waved at him, dressed in a loose white sweater, all
effortless style and youthful energy. She looked like a college girl—tall, poised, and undeniably attractive.
Brenna noticed her too, catching how gracefully the girl carried herself. The girl hurried over, slipping her arm
through Jordy’s, her eyes flicking to Sylvie with wariness. “Mr. Barton, who's this?”
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 in her look, but she didn’t say anything, simply radiating
superiority.
Sylvie’s stomach twisted, her confidence shaken. She tried to keep her voice light. “Jordy, just because you're
successful now, you don’t have to pretend there’s nothing between us. The past doesn’t just vanish.”
Jordy squeezed the girl's hand with care. “Wait forover there? Ill just be a minute.”
“Alright.” The girl nodded, 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, shooting daggers at the girl's back before snapping
at Jordy. “Is she even an adult? Honestly, you are too old for her.”
“She’s twenty-one. She is in college. If you've got something important to say to me, spit it out. But stay out of
my personal life.” Jordy’s patience wore thin, his hands stuffed in 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. He didn’t bother 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.”
