“I am.”
“Then, how can you still be so chilled? Let’s meet up and get him to tell us more. His misfortune excites
me!”
Jeremy was stupefied. Eventually, he said, “I’ll go over now.”
…
Soon, they arrived at their usual hangout spot.
As usual, Gareth didn’t talk much.
Vincent was always fun and talkative, but today he was reticent and moody. If it was in the past, he
wouldn’t hesitate to probe Gareth and get to the bottom of his plight.
But today, he was also being peculiar.
Obviously, Gareth and Jeremy could sense something was wrong with Vincent. They exchanged a

Vincent was jolted back to the present. He shrugged, “What could go wrong with me?”
Gareth glanced at Vincent, “You called me and said you were upset?”
He might appear indifferent, but he genuinely cared for Vincent.
Jeremy was flabbergasted, “What happened? Didn’t know there’s anything that could upset you.”
But after he finished speaking, something struck a chord in him, “Is it about your mother?”
Immediately, Vincent seethed and lamented, “What else if not because of that d*mn woman!”
Gareth and Jeremy looked at him, especially Jeremy. He was surprised to see Vincent getting so
worked up.
“You are being unusual. You used to be upset at that woman, but what’s gotten into you lately? Why do
I sense something peculiar?”
Vincent gave him a once-over, “What do you mean?”
Jeremy smirked and said nothing. Gareth was indifferent.
Vincent clenched his teeth and lamented, “That godd*mned woman still refuses to return my mother’s
heirloom! She’s been hogging it and thinks she has the right to it. I wish I can just strangle her to
death!”
“Of course, you can.” Jeremy looked at Vincent, gave him an ambiguous smile, and said, “But can you
bear to hurt her?”
Vincent widened his eyes in shock and bawled at Jeremy, “What the he*l are you talking about? What
do you mean by I can’t bear to hurt her? I would do it if strangling her to death was permissible by law!”
“Tsk Tsk.” Jeremy smiled and didn’t argue.
Gareth shot a sly, conspiratorial glance at Vincent.
He was disquieted by Gareth’s glance and looked back at him and Jeremy, “Why are you guys giving
me that look? Is there something on my face? And stop with your wild imagination!”

Jeremy twitched his lips, “Haven’t you noticed the recent changes in your personality and mood?
You’ve been getting flustered very frequently.”
Vincent was speechless.
He looked at Jeremy disquieted, “I’ve been asking her to return my mother’s heirloom, but she shuns
me every time. I’m at my wit’s end, but this d*mn woman just won’t budge! Wouldn’t you get flustered,
too, if you were in my situation?”
“Then, tell me, who was the woman you forced into a restaurant?” Jeremy said nonchalantly. Gareth
stared at Vincent with eyebrows raised, serving him a cryptic look.
“You saw us?!”
Vincent was caught off guard. Jeremy darted an impish smirk at him, and the latter tried to legitimize
his action, “I didn’t mean to tackle her soft spot, but that d*mn woman is so stubborn! I had to come up
with a new idea to persuade her. I knew she was hungry, so I thought treating her to a nice dinner
might change her mind.”
