Being Pursued By Ex-husband

Chapter 611 Serves Her Right

While her ex-classmates were discussing the fact that Charlize had gotten together with Spencer, Jacqueline was about to express her skepticism when Spencer’s “thank you” caused her world to collapse.

After Marcelo praised how compatible Charlize and Spencer were, Spencer’s acknowledgment put their relationship beyond any doubt.

The sudden realization caused Katrina to subconsciously look at Jacqueline. Even the other classmates around them did the same thing too.

After all, it was Jacqueline and Katrina who started the rumor about Charlize getting together with a rich old man in the chat group. If that wasn’t enough, both of them were still harping on the topic not too long ago.

Contrary to their words, Charlize had arrived at the ballroom glamorously with the “rich old man,” who turned out to be none other than their university senior—Spencer Lacroix.

Obviously, everyone knew who Spencer was, for he was an exceptional figure both inside and outside the university. On top of that, he had taught their class before as a substitute lecturer.

During that period, quite a number of girls had confessed their feelings to Spencer. Jacqueline was just the most dramatic among them.

Even though some were jealous of Charlize over her relationship with Spencer, most of her classmates were more interested in watching Jacqueline humiliate herself.

She had brought it upon herself by unilaterally declaring, based on her decent looks, that she was Spencer’s girlfriend back then.

Unlike Jacqueline, Charlize kept a significantly low profile despite being a lot prettier. Throughout her four years in university, Charlize spent them quietly and wasn’t embroiled in any controversy at all.

On top of that, Jacqueline had given Charlize grief during their university years after resenting the latter over the matter of campus belle. It was a fact that wasn’t lost on their classmates.

Now that Charlize and Spencer had gotten together, the turn of events felt like a huge slap to Jacqueline’s face.

“Wow, Charlize and Spencer are together now? No wonder someone was being so sarcastic in the group chat this morning, accusing Charlize of ingratiating herself with an ordinary-looking man who was ‘successful.’ Tsk-tsk. Since when was Spencer ordinary-looking? It’s clear to me that this is just a case of sour grapes.”

“Some people are just like that. They think what is beyond them is equally unattainable by others too. Haha, why doesn’t she look at herself in the mirror? I’ve said so before. Considering how gorgeous, humble, and well-behaved Charlize is, I would choose her too if I were Spencer.”

Sometimes, the relationship dynamics between girls were just that simple. The two girls who spoke weren’t on particularly good terms with Charlize. It was just that both of them disliked Jacqueline more.

As the enemy of one’s enemy is naturally one’s friend, all they had to do was take Charlize’s side against the latter.

It went without saying that Jacqueline was scowling by the time she heard the two girls’ remarks.

The humiliation had come so swiftly that even Katrina didn’t dare defend Jacqueline anymore.

The girls weren’t speaking loudly, yet their voices were clear enough for those involved to hear it.

Throwing Jacqueline a glance, Charlize was amused when she saw the former glaring at her.

Both girls might not be on good terms with each other during their four years in university, but Charlize barely paid any heed to Jacqueline. Thus, it was Jacqueline alone who got all worked up most of the time.

The fact that they were always in school limited Jacqueline in what she could do. That was why Charlize simply watched as the latter made a fool of herself every time there was a trivial conflict between them.

Obviously, both of them didn’t keep in contact after graduation. The few times they ran into each other were no more than fleeting encounters.

Even then, Jacqueline didn’t let slip the opportunity to insult Charlize. Regardless of how nonchalant the latter was, it was difficult not to feel upset.

Therefore, when she heard the girls’ snide comments about Jacqueline, Charlize chose to take a page

out of Sophia’s book by simply observing the situation in an aloof manner.

“Do you want to have something to eat?”

Noticing Charlize’s gaze, Spencer furrowed his brows when he trailed its trajectory toward Jacqueline. This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.

He could still remember that the latter had always given Charlize grief.

The thought sparked an icy glint in Spencer’s eyes.

Upon hearing Spencer’s question, Charlize retracted her gaze and shifted it to the rows of snacks being served. “Let’s just have some cake.”

She couldn’t deny how generous her classmates were in organizing the event by ordering snacks from branded shops.

The cake in question was from a recently-opened cake shop in Jadeborough that would sell out every day.

With such delicious food before her, Charlize had even less reason to care about meaningless affairs.

After picking out two flavors that were Charlize’s favorite and pouring a glass of coconut juice, Spencer filled a small plate with snacks before leading Charlize to a small table.

No sooner had they sat down than Jacqueline came over. “It’s been a long time, Spencer.”

Having expected Spencer’s presence, Jacqueline wore a long red dress and thick makeup. The four-

inch heels she was wearing made her look slender and alluring.

Even though Jacqueline was attractive, her beauty was of a different kind when compared to Charlize. She was mature and sexy, whereas the latter was sweet and gorgeous.

Charlize was the kind that wouldn’t impress one at first glance but would definitely grow on one. As for Jacqueline, the converse was true. That was the reason behind the controversy over who was the campus belle back in the day.

As if Charlize was invisible, Jacqueline had come over with a wine glass in her hand.

However, Spencer threw her a glance before asking with a frosty look, “And you are?”

Spencer naturally recognized Jacqueline, but what was said earlier hadn’t escaped his ears.

Since Jacqueline was rude to Charlize, it was natural for him to return the favor.

Just as he spoke, the girls that walked past them burst into laughter.

The sound of it felt like a dagger that pierced Jacqueline’s heart. Regardless of how shameless she was, she didn’t dare embarrass herself by continuing the conversation.

Eating her cake quietly, Charlize was filled with delight at the sight of Jacqueline storming off. She then raised her head to give Spencer the side-eye.

Hmph, don’t think that I have forgotten how she pursued Spencer back then. Serves her right!

As Charlize didn’t want to come in the first place and Spencer never enjoyed such gatherings, both of them planned to leave after briefly staying.

However, a few of the guys wanted to talk business with Spencer. Hence, they caught him before the couple managed to leave.

Charlize naturally didn’t mind, while Spencer hesitated briefly. “Give me ten minutes.”

“Sure.”

Since they were talking about business, Charlize felt it inappropriate to join them.

She subsequently found a corner to settle down in and enjoy her food. If Jacqueline and Katrina hadn’t come over, she would likely have ended up overeating again.
