Chapter 914

Chapter 914:

“I understand,” he replied.

Following this, Bobby began to skip classes, engage in fights, and stir up trouble. He dyed his hair in wild colors, defied teachers, and attracted a following.

Before this transformation, the most rebellious act he had committed was secretly playing games at an internet café. His already average grades began to drop sharply.

Wendy derived a perverse pleasure from witnessing his decline. She found the corruption of a good person far more exciting than the reform of a troublemaker.

By their second year, Bobby had risen to become the leader of the local delinquents, and Wendy began dating him.

He would join her at nightclubs where she bartended, sitting close by as he drank with his ever-growing group of friends. She watched as his parents dragged him home on multiple occasions, their disapproval evident. Each time, her sense of triumph only grew. Meanwhile, dark thoughts festered in her mind, resentment simmering like poison.

Her life gradually improved, while Bobby sank deeper into delinquency. By their third year of high school, their relationship had solidified. They shared their first intimate moment, and soon, lovemaking became a regular part of their dynamic.

Then came the turning point—Wendy became pregnant and later had an abortion.

Her ultrasound report was stolen from her bag and circulated throughout the school. The scandal exploded. Bobby’s parents were called in, and Judie, his mother, confronted Wendy, slapping her repeatedly upon realizing her son’s downfall was tied to her. She hurled vicious insults, yet Bobby still defended Wendy.

That chaotic day left them both humiliated before their peers. Soon after, Bobby was transferred to another school, and Wendy was expelled. She didn’t attempt to continue her education elsewhere, feeling too tainted, too unworthy of the system.

The day they said goodbye in the school office was the last time Wendy saw Bobby in their youth. As his parents pulled him away, he looked back at her with pity—no anger, no regret. Wendy never apologized.

What she owed him went far beyond words.

In the café, Fernanda and Sloane sat in shock, struggling to process the revelations about Wendy’s past. Sloane’s mouth hung open, shock washing over her. She had always loved reading novels, but real life was turning out to be even more dramatic than fiction.

Wendy’s troubled past was staggering.

Sloane hunched her shoulders, took a sip of her now-lukewarm mocha, and glanced at Fernanda. Even Fernanda—usually composed and unfazed—showed clear signs of shock. Earlier that evening, on their way to dinner, they had come across Wendy, Bobby, and Wendy’s mother locked in a tense standoff at the school gate. Not wanting to get caught up in the tension, Fernanda had quickly tugged Sloane behind a tree—but Wendy had already spotted them.

After sending her mother away, Wendy had pulled them into the café and laid bare her history with Bobby.
