Chapter 121 Chapter 121 (+23) Haley was never polite when speaking to Aaron. And after breaking up and all the with Ellie, she was even less so now. "Aaron, do you know what happened when I went to Ameria yesterday?" Aaron replied in a calm tone, "Your issues have nothing to do with me." Haley's face twitched noticeably, and she bit out. "I saw Ellie and Alex checking into a room together. Doesn't that concern you at all?" Aaron's gaze darkened a bit. "I know Ellie's character well. My shift is starting, and please step aside," he said politely before he left.

Haley, unwilling to give up, blocked his path. "Aaron, not only do the elders of the Warren family know about this, but all of Alex's friends know too. Are you really going to let Ellie get caught between Alex and me, and have people call her a mistress?" Aaron just said, "Please step aside." Seeing that Aaron wasn't taking the bait, Haley snapped in frustration. "I know you haven't gotten over our breakup and are still mad at me." Aaron frowned.

After a pause, Haley continued, “But I can't help it. There's too much of a gap between us. I wanted to help you succeed, but you just didn't get it.

"We've dated for a while, and I've been friends with Ellie for many years. I really don't want to see her becAlex's plaything, used and then tossed aside after a few years." "Thanks for the heads up," Aaron said, not looking too pleased as he sidestepped Haley and walked away.

"If you don't handle this, I won't be kind to Ellie." Haley watched Aaron's figure as he walked away, her hands clenched tightly at her sides. She was never one to back down, and now that Ellie and Alex had been caught red- handed, she wasn't going to let it go.

**** A few days later, the scandal between Ellie and Alex continued to spread in the social circles. Layton tried several times before finally getting Alex to agree to meet.

"Where have you been these days? You've been nowhere to be found." Layton handed Alex the pool cue, noticing a recently healed scar on Alex's forehead. “You hurt yourself?" Alex casually dusted off the pool cue with chalk.

Across from Alex at the pool table, Layton asked with a gossipy lok. "So, what's going on between you and Ellie?" Alex leaned down to test the pool cue. "What do you mean?" Layton said, "Everyone is talking about how Ellie is trying to seduce you to climb the social ladder, saying she's got no boundaries and is willing to be your other woman. You must have heard by now, right?" Alex looked up and met Layton's eyes.

Layton gave Alex an assuring nod. "Haley said she caught you and Ellie together in bed, and now there are several versions of the story making the rounds in our circle."

The two of them went to the lounge area for a smoke. Layton noticed that Alex wouldn't speak and tentatively asked, 'Alex, Njust don't understand. Even if Haley saved your life, you don't have to offer yourself to her, do you? If you want to thank her, can't you just give her money or gifts?" Send gift Comment
