The Lee Family's West Hill Villa, Elise Don visited it just last month.
At that time, the Don family and the Lee family were cooling off together in the garden.
Under the crescent moon, Leo Lee took out the car keys of a luxury car, as if presenting her with a small toy. That feeling of being cherished made Elise Don truly believe she was in a fantasy novel.
But just a month later, at the same location, not only did they ask her to return the gift, but even the hostess of the gathering had changed.
Elise Don felt a chill in her heart, ignoring Leo Lee, instead slightly turning her head to glance at the girl closely following behind him—big waves, her chest bound like a pair of suckling pigs.
Not just charming, but full of passion.
Elise Don held a cold smile, not speaking.
Leo Lee immediately became alert. "Lily, don't misunderstand."
Elise Don: "I'm not misunderstanding."
With the situation so evident, is there even room for misunderstanding?
Elise Don's heart felt cold.
But, in front of so many pairs of eyes, should she punch the mistress and step on the jerk?
Forget it.
She couldn't afford to lose face, quick resolution is the priority.
Elise Don took out the car key from the handbag at her waist and raised it in front of Leo Lee.
"The gift you gave me is in the car. The car is parked at the entrance. Returning everything to you."
Turning around, Elise Don placed the key on the temporary bar counter.
"From now on, we're done."
She suavely turned around, only for Leo Lee to pull her back.
He cared about saving face, gritting his teeth, "Elise Don! Have you had enough?! Returning things to me in front of so many people, who's losing face here?!"
"Do I, Leo Lee, lack these few things from you?!"
Elise Don slowly turned around, also finding it humorous.
"It was young master Lee who asked me to return the things, and now you're saying I'm making trouble?!" Elise Don felt choked with anger.
This man is best at shifting blame.
Last week, when Leo Lee and that girl named Madeline were caught naked in a car by her, he even said Elise Don was imagining it, truly making people want to gouge their eyes out.
Back then, how did she get touched by such a person, actually believing his empty promises of eternal love?
Elise Don shook off Leo Lee's hand, took out her phone, and thrust it directly in front of him.
"Just look at it yourself! Look at what you told me this afternoon!"
Leo Lee's face darkened, his gaze focused on Elise Don's phone screen.
The whole crowd fell silent, everyone holding their breath waiting for Leo Lee's reaction.
But in truth, everyone knew, the contest between new and old love often doesn't bother with reason, only seeing whom the man loves more.
Tonight, it's obvious Madeline Hunter has the upper hand, after all, Leo Lee just asked everyone to call her sister-in-law.
The new love has taken the position, it's an established fact.
Sure enough, after reading the messages, Leo Lee immediately turned to look at Madeline Hunter.
She met Leo Lee's gaze with anticipation and innocence, eyes filled with undisguised pride.
Just as everyone thought Elise Don was finished, Leo Lee suddenly smiled.
He turned to wrap an arm around Elise Don's waist, even softening his tone.
"You keep the things, we won't break up, hubby holds Lily, Lily don't be mad."
The whole crowd was in an uproar.
No one expected Leo Lee's attitude to change so quickly, as if what Elise Don showed him wasn't a message but some kind of magic.
Yet Elise Don only felt nauseated by the unsolicited hug and especially the word "hubby."
Her sharp stiletto heels took a big step back, letting Leo Lee hug thin air.
"Break up means break up, whoever clings is a dog."
Elise Don arrogantly raised her head to leave, leaving Leo Lee standing there. His expression wasn't good, but he didn't plan to chase after.
The surrounding noise resumed, the atmosphere returning to liveliness.
Everyone was discussing Elise Don's breakup declaration, comments about "rhyme" and "grave scene of chasing wife" were buzzing in the air.
Madeline Hunter stood there, watching it all unfold, the sharp features of her face becoming more blurred as if smeared with a layer of animal fat.
As the party hostess, Madeline Hunter didn't know how to handle herself, unconsciously twisting the swimsuit strap, and when she looked up, she saw Leo Lee watching her.
After a moment's eye contact, Leo Lee lowered his gaze, glanced at the car key on the counter, then raised his wrist to motion her over.
Madeline Hunter walked over.
Leo Lee lazily raised the car key, looking at Madeline Hunter.
"Baby, it's you who wanted this car, right?"
...
Growing up, Elise Don had never suffered such grievance.
Under those malevolent gazes, Elise Don walked out of the big house, took out her phone to call for a ride, her fingers trembling with anger against the blue screen.
Soon, the car arrived, and the driver called: "License plate ending 4562, white Passat. Right by the roadside."
Elise Don replied, hung up the phone, composed herself, and then saw a not-too-new Volkswagen pulling into the side parking space.
Without waiting for the car to stop, she walked over, directly opened the car door, and sat sideways in the passenger seat.
"University A, girls' dormitory."
She stated the destination, casually placing her phone on her leg, just about to grab the seatbelt when she sensed a strange atmosphere.
The "driver" had no intention to move, and the person's gaze carried weight, resting on her shoulder.
Elise Don raised her eyebrows, turned her head, and her eyes collided with a pair of deep ones, making her pause.
Those eyes were truly rare, both dynamic and still, ink-black and profound.
Overall features were hard and cold, not looking fierce, but also not too friendly.
Feeling agitated earlier, Elise Don's aura suddenly weakened, carrying a bit of politeness, she repeated herself.
"I'm going to University A."
Oliver Bloom calmly said: "I'm not a ride-share car, you have the wrong one."
