Chapter 1774
Chapter 1774:
“I’m worthless? If you believe you’re so capable, prove it. Earn your own money and respect,” Corrie challenged. “You’re an adult now, yet you still depend on me for money.”
Mitchel’s face contorted with rage. “Do I need your charity? That money comes from Mom. What claim do you have to it?”
“Her money comes directly from me. Who do you think has been supporting this family all along?” Having said this, she left angrily.
Later that evening, beneath the warm glow of restaurant lighting, Elyse and Jayden joined Brook and Jennie, who had invited them to celebrate their love.
Once seated comfortably, Elyse leaned forward with undisguised curiosity. “Weren’t you two involved in a relationship previously?”
Jennie cast a sideways glance at Brook, whose complexion reddened with embarrassment. “Our…”
“Our arrangement was straightforward: he provided financial support, and I shared his bed. There were no emotional attachments; I suppose I was his sex partner?”
Brook cleared his throat, eager to explain himself. “I was drawn to you the moment our eyes met. Back then, I couldn’t grasp what it meant to truly care for someone. That’s why I suggested we be just sexual partners.”
Jennie’s eyes widened in surprise. “I fell for you at first sight. Why else would I agree to such an arrangement? I had never done anything like that before.”
Elyse gasped, her hand flying to her lips. “So it was love at first sight for both of you?”
Jennie and Brook exchanged flustered glances, their cheeks warming as they shyly looked away.
Camille took a slow sip of her steaming tea, her voice dripping with sarcasm. “That’s true love, isn’t it? How absolutely enviable. When is fate going to send my Mr. Right my way?”
Brook’s expression turned serious. “You just focus on your academics.”
“I hit the books every single day!” Camille slammed her palm against the table. “Why can’t I dream about love in my spare time? You’ve got your happiness, but I’m still hopelessly single!”
“Once you’re twenty, you can date whoever you want,” Brook scoffed. “Until then, it’s out of the question.”

“Hmph! Really outdated!” Camille rolled her eyes and refused to argue further.
Brook let it slide and instead placed some food on Jennie’s plate while she poured him a glass of wine. Their affection for each other was undeniable.
Elyse sighed, unable to hide her admiration. “You two are a perfect match.”noveldrama
Jennie chuckled. “I heard about how you and Jayden met today. It sounds like fate had a hand in it.”
Elyse hesitated. “Our first encounter?”
Jayden spoke softly. “It was a spurofthemoment decision.”
Memories surfaced, and Elyse instinctively glanced at Jayden—only to find he was already watching her. Her voice lowered to a whisper. “Still, it feels like we were meant to be.”
