Love Game With The Rebel Billionaire

"What are you doing here, anyway?" he asked as he leaned back on the chair. "And why were you in the library earlier?"

"Why do you ask? Because if I hadn't arrived, you would've continued what you were doing? I won't let that happen." She smirked before handing me a violation form. "I'll be the one to transfer it to the logbook later. Just to make sure you won't do any dirty tricks to avoid your suspension."

"I'm not that kind of person, Evangeline," I answered.

"Why would I believe you? I thought you were innocent and aloof, yet you were making out with Ash." She looked at Ash afterward. "It's hell week for the engineering department, right? But it looks like you have so much free time on your hands."

"I do." Ash nodded before looking at me. "I used my suspension time to study. Even if you gave me an exam now, I know I'd ace it."

I just rolled my eyes. How arrogant.

Based on my observation, it looks like they've known each other for a long time. They banter with each other, but you can also see the concern in their eyes.

"Where's Mason?" Evangeline asked, changing the topic.

"You're his sister. Why are you asking me where he is?" Ash asked back in confusion. I was also puzzled because they were together earlier, and now she's looking for him. "And you were together earlier, weren't you? We saw you." "Cassius," Evangeline said in a warning tone as she glanced at me.

"She knows. Don't worry," he explained as he gave me a reassuring look. "I told you that we saw you earlier, Rose."

I rolled my eyes, and Ash laughed because of it.

"I should just get a warning, right?" I asked as I tried to negotiate.

If it's just a warning, I wouldn't need to fill out this form that Evangeline gave me, but if she's really determined to suspend me, I know it will last for a week, knowing that the violation we committed was a public display of affection.

Shit. Why is it that when I'm so close to achieving my dream, I'm suddenly facing these problems?

"I slapped someone to death before, and that was my first time, too," Evangeline explained as she walked in front of me. "But I was suspended. Do you see now where I'm coming from?"

"No." I shook my head. "I won't be able to understand it because you're comparing two different things. Yours was assault. Mine was..."

I didn't have the courage to tell her that it was a make-out scene, especially with Ash smirking again/

"Why is it counted as assault? That fucking jerk humiliated and harassed my cousin at the same time." She gritted her teeth and clenched her fists. "Why is it wrong, though? He deserved it. Even though I couldn't go to school for a year because of what I did, I don't regret it."

Right. She was in her senior year of high school when she committed that violation, if I'm not mistaken. That's also the reason why she became my batchmate, even though she should have been ahead of me.

At that moment, her expression suddenly changed. She no longer looked like the Evangeline I knew, the spoiled brat who was always overly concerned with cleanliness. Her gaze was sharp, and her expression was dark. Judging by her looks, it seemed like she was ready to kill someone at any moment.

And this was the first time I saw her like that. It sent shivers down my spine.

"My cousin didn't like to fight, so I did it for her," I heard her say before Ash approached her and gently rubbed her back, but not in a sensual way.

He was comforting her and trying to calm her down.This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.

That's it. No wonder she's so irritated with me. Maybe I remind her of her cousin. No wonder she dislikes weak people.

"I'm provoking you to fight, Sapphire."

Now, it makes sense.

"Get the f. uck out of here, Ash," she turned to Ash, who raised both hands as if surrendering. "If you really want to extend your suspension, I'll take you to the guidance office. I'm easy to talk to." Instead of being scared, Ash seemed even more pleased. I shook my head in disbelief and lost hope that I could salvage my clean record at this university.

"I'll wait outside," Ash said, smirking.

"You're persistent, aren't you?" Evangeline asked in a serious tone.

"I told you, I won't leave her alone," he replied before winking at me and leaving the room.

When Evangeline turned her gaze back to me, I sighed before filling up the form.

Deep down, I really didn't want to do this. I wanted to run away, like what they do when they're in a situation like this, but Evangeline was just staring at me now. "Here," I said and handed her the form. "So, will I be absent tomorrow?"

"No." She glanced at me while reading my information. "You should be here at seven a. m. tomorrow. Let's fix the decorations again before we go to our first subject." "What?" I blinked my eyes twice, trying to process what she said. "But I am already suspended, right?"

"Who's suspended?"

I was stunned when I saw what she did to my paper. She tore it into pieces before throwing it in the trash can. "You're not suspended, and you still have a clean record."

I sighed in relief, but doubt suddenly washed over me.

"What's the catch?" I asked her, which caused her grin to widen even more.

"You're really clever." She clapped her hands before approaching me. She brought her lips close to my ear before whispering her condition. "Tell Ash that you're suspended for a month, or else..." She'll do something horrible.

Although she didn't finish her sentence, I know that's what she wanted to relay.

I was dumbfounded by her condition. But, why?

"Do you really think I would believe that, Rose?" Ash, who was leaning against the door with his arms crossed over his chest, asked.

His forehead was furrowed as he stared at Evangeline, as if he was irritated by what she was doing to me.

Evangeline's eyes widened in shock. "Why are you-"

"Why am I here already?" he said, finishing her sentence. "I only left earlier to see if you'd do something unusual."

A smirk appeared on his face as he walked towards me. His left hand was in his black shorts pocket while he used his right hand to fix his messy hair.

Evangeline wasn't able to answer. Instead, she only stared at Ash with her clenched fists.

"I know that I was right, but you won't admit it as long as I'm here. I know you still play your dirty tricks. You always do," Ash said as he gritted his teeth.
