Bye, My Irresistible Love

Chapter 633: Take Revenge 

Helen’s POV:

Lucy and I asked Cece, "What happened?"

We didn’t get a verbal response.

Cece only cried harder and louder.

Several minutes later, she thankfully ran out of tears.

After dabbing at her eyes so she could see clearly, she took out her mobile phone and switched it on with a furious glint in her eye.

The next second, what we heard was, "Kendal, you are a bastard! A bastard!"

She yelled furiously before placing her phone on the table face up so that we could see her phone’s screen.

On the screen, it showed that the voice message she just sent wasn’t delivered.It would appear that Kendal had blocked Cece from his social media account.

Although Kendal was outgoing, he was devoted and faithful.He had been chasing after Cece since high school.

After getting her social media account, he even reported his schedule to her every single day, and said good night to her before sleep.

Kendal had been doing this for at least five years.It didn’t matter whether Cece replied or not.He just never missed a single day.

But such a faithful man had unfriended Cece.

Gaze narrowing, Lucy asked, "Did he fall in love with someone else?"

Cece suddenly sat up straight and scowled at Lucy.

"Why are you looking at me like that? I already told you a long time ago to stop acting indifferent if you really do like him.Look at the two of you now.Because you were playing hard to get you ended up losing him to another girl.Are you happy now?"

Cece’s scowl deepened.

"He said he loves me.Why can’t he wait a little longer? How could he fall in love with another woman while he is supposed to be obsessed with me?"Cece’s statement ignited Lucy’s anger and she shot to her feet.

"Hasn’t he been patient enough with you? Helen and I have seen everything he has done for you over the years." Cece’s arrogance instantly fled at Lucy’s reprimand.

When she spoke again, her voice turned lower with each word.

"I just wanted to wait until my career develops, okay? You know his family background and their status in society.All these years, I’ve been doing everything I can to excel in my career so that I can finally be on the same level with him.I thought that when I became very successful, then I could agree to be in a relationship with him."

This was the first time that Cece was coming clean about her feelings for Kendal and the reason for her attitude.

Before today, she never once showed any inclination of reciprocating Kendal’s feelings.I sat beside her quietly as my mind pieced together a clearer picture of what had happened.It had been about a month

now since Kendal last contacted Cece.It seemed that he had finally decided to give up on her and start a new relationship.

But Cece loved Kendal.

Since that was the case, it was wrong to let Kendal continue to believe that his love was unrequited.

When I saw Cece burst into tears once again, I was very sad for her.It was obvious that the two of them loved each other very deeply.It wasn’t right for them to be apart.

Making a snap decision, I took out my phone and dialed Kendal’s number.

The phone was answered as soon as it rang.

"Where are you, Kendal?"

It was so quiet on the other end of the phone that I could hear the sound of his breathing.

"Helen, it’s me, George.Kendal is drunk and he just fell asleep."

The sound of George’s voice stunned me into silence.

All of a sudden, it occurred to me that when we got off work, George had indeed mentioned that Kendal wanted to have dinner with him later in the evening.

"What’s up? I can convey the message for you," George added.

His words jolted me back to reality and I remembered that I was still on the phone with George.

Since I had no interest in discussing Kendal and Cece’s relationship with him, 1 decided to end the call.

"No, that’s not necessary.I’ll call him another day."

"Helen…" George called out my name in an anxious tone.

My heart ached uncontrollably and my fingers tightened around the phone.

"Anything else?" I asked stiffly.

"Is Cece with you?"

"Yes," I answered quietly as I looked at the woman in question.

She was now drunk and sobbing into Lucy’s shoulder.

"I need a favor from you.Can you please take her out to dinner tomorrow? Kendal was in great pain the whole night.I don’t think he can continue like this.It would be better if the two of them saw each other face to face and cleared the air."

If he had made such a request in the past, I would have refused without hesitation.

After all, this was Cece’s personal matter and I didn’t want to get involved.

However, a few moments ago, Cece had expressed her feelings for Kendal.

George was right.If they didn’t make things clear, the two of them couldn’t be together.

At the very least, I could help create a chance for them to meet and talk this out.

"Okay, I’ll ask her out to dinner."

Then I hung up the phone.

Cece’s POV:

The next morning, I got up and made plans to return to Philly.Helen was the reason for my trip to New York this time around.

Now that I had seen for myself that she was fine, I was very relieved.

There was nothing else for me to do here, so I decided to return to Philly.

However, Helen refused to let me leave.

"Tomorrow is Saturday.Why are you in such a hurry to go back? Can’t you stay for the weekend?"

"I’m very busy with my work.Real estate industry has no weekends, honey."

It had taken years of hard work and dedication for me to get to my current position at such a young age.

As the planning director in the real estate company I worked for, I was indeed very busy.

There was a very important and lucrative building that would be on the market soon, so I really did have lots of work to do.

"Just stay with me for one more day.You are already here anyway."

Helen hugged me tightly and kept persuading me to stay.

"Are you sure you want me to stay here and keep you company? You are even busier than me.Did you stay up all night?"

Last night, when I woke up to get myself some water, I found that the light in her bedroom was still on.As Helen explained, she changed her clothes in preparation for work.

"I have a lot of work piled up, so I had to work late into the night to clear off most of my workload.You can spend the day resting at my apartment and later in the evening, we will go out for dinner.I’m sure it won’t make a difference if you decide to postpone your trip until tomorrow."

Helen didn’t wear a business suit.

Instead, she took out a dress and a beige windbreaker from a corner of the wardrobe.She was a naturally beautiful woman, and after she dolled herself up, she became even more charming.

When she wasn’t looking in my direction, I rolled my eyes and sighed helplessly.

Did Helen really think I couldn’t see through her? i knew exactly what she was planning.

She must have invited Kendal out to dinner and was trying to coerce me into going so that I could meet with him.

After Helen left, I had nothing to do and I was feeling a bit bored in the apartment.

So I dressed up and took a taxi to Zhester Technology. Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

Once I arrived at Zhester Technology, I went straight to Jane’s office.

Jane and I graduated from the same high school.

Back then, everyone in the school had been aware that Kendal was chasing after me.

Since she and Kendal were both George’s friends, she knew exactly who I was.

"You’ve changed a lot.I almost didn’t recognize you,"

Jane murmured with a smile as she inspected me from head to toe.

"We haven’t seen each other for so many years.It’s normal that you don’t recognize me.You’ve also changed a lot.You’ve become more confident, more intellectual, and more successful.You’re a good example for us."

I was good at telling lies with a straight face.It was a result of my years in the real estate business.

Jane smiled and asked, "Why brings you to New York? Last time when I had dinner together with Kendal, he said you were always busy and didn’t have time to talk to him."

"Are you not aware that George and Helen are fighting? It’s gotten to the point that I think that they might break up.That’s why I’m here to see them.I am literally worrying my ass off for these two.You should know that George has had a crush on Helen since high school.I just can’t believe he was able to hide it for years.Even though he loves her so much, he still hasn’t worked up the courage to confess his feelings to her.And by some miracle, they became involved in a relationship after years of pining for each other.And now they are fighting.Can you imagine that?"

My tone and expression were very natural and unassuming.

Even though I affected a tone of innocence, my words were firm, sharp and straight to the jugular.

Without a doubt, it must have hit Jane square in the chest and there was no way my words wouldn’t upset her As expected, the look on Jane’s face changed.

The smile on her face was exchanged for a curiously blank and hard stare.

"Really? They have only been together for a short while.If they are quarreling so much, it can only be because they are not destined to be together, just like you and Kendal," she replied in a clipped voice.

I inhaled sharply but managed to keep the smile on my face.

Lucy had told me that this woman was scheming and cunning.

She told me that Helen was no match for her.

Right at this very moment, I couldn’t help but acknowledge the fact that Lucy had been spot on in her assessment With a wide smile, I twisted the knife I had lodged in Jane’s heart with my earlier words.

"You are right.But at least, George loved Helen for so many years.It’s better than unrequited love, isn’t it?"

Jane’s eyes blazed with anger and it was all she could do not to curse me out.

Smiling thinly, she quickly changed the topic.

"I heard from Kendal that you are now a planning director in a real estate company.Is that correct?"

"What a blabbermouth he is.Do you want to buy a house? You can call me if you do.For the sake of our friendship, I will give you a special discount."

I handed her the leaflets of the new apartment buildings and houses we were working on.

"Coincidentally, I’m going to buy one in Philly." Jane said as she looked through the leaflets.

"Really? Are you going to settle down here in the future?" I thought she was just making conversation.

I hadn’t really expected that she was serious about it.

When I realized that she really meant it, a happy smile spread across my face.What could I say? Getting a new client always made me happy.I arranged the leaflets and took my time to recommend several high-end communities to her.

"This one is very suitable for you.It’s a good place to live in alone and also has the space to accommodate your family.If you like it, I can call the sales department and ask them to reserve the best one for you…"

A short while later, I left Jane’s office feeling very pleased with myself.It didn’t matter that Jane was so angry she could spit nails.

The more I thought about it, the more I admired myself.I not only upset Jane beyond words, I also got her money.

Jane looked like she had swallowed a fly that went down the wrong way.

The longer I thought about her expression, the happier I became.It was a pity that there was no way I could have taken her picture without her knowing.

Otherwise I would have taken it and sent it to Helen and Lucy so that the two of them could learn from me on how to deal with a bitch like Jane.
