NovelEnglishChapter 1158:
“What?” Laney responded weakly.
Kailyn released a heavy sigh at her friend's pitiful state. “Forget it, he’s a jerk. We don’t need him.”
Hidden in the shadows, Cliff remained silent. Fine, he would take the blame. Better to bear their scorn than be
discovered in his current pathetic state. He'd rejected her advances firmly, yet his own body had betrayed him.
He couldn’t stomach such a blow to his dignity.
When sobriety finally claimed her, Laney’s drunken boldness returned in hazy fragments of memory. Her fingers
traced the bite mark on her collarbone and then drifted to her swollen lips. She froze.
“Did I really kiss someone?” Laney asked Kailyn, her voice tinged with horror.
Without opening her eyes as she applied her skincare product, Kailyn replied, “I didn’t see it, but Cliff probably
did.”
The color drained from Laney’s face. Her lips quivered. “He saw?”

Kailyn briefly described how Cliff had taken Laney away. “Then you calledbut said nothing. | thought
something happened to you, so | rushed over, but Cliff had already disappeared.”
Laney immediately jumped to the conclusion that Cliff was mad. He must have witnessed her hanging on
another man, judging her impropriety, too disgusted to even care for her anymore.
“But really, wasn't it Cliff who kissed you?” Kailyn asked, curiosity lacing her voice.
Laney shook her head miserably. “He would never kiss me. Last night, that guy used his tongue and even bit my
chest. Cliff can’t stand even touching me.”
Laney’s words grew heavier with each syllable, and she buried her face in her hands with self-loathing. “Why did
| drink? Why do | beclike that when I'm drunk? | haven't even kissed Cliff with tongue.” Laney had a hazy
memory of the man resembling Cliff, and in her anger at Cliff's perceived deception, she had impulsively kissed
him.
Kailyn squeezed Laney’s shoulder reassuringly. “It’s just a kiss. No big deal. Wake up, Laney. Cliff is only good to
look at. If you're seeking a real relationship, he’s not the right person. His character is lacking.”
Just as Kailyn finished speaking, Laney’s phone lit up with a call from the very man they'd been discussing.
Laney froze, caught between the fear of answering and the terror of not answering.
Once connected, Cliff's voice carried its usual glacial tone. “I’m outside your building with ssoup for you.”
Kailyn's boldness was all for show.
