Chapter 268 - Boy in Love (5) (1/2)

”I don't think we can attend as well,” Alex pointed out Shelly trembling from the thought of attending.

”Are you really not able to attend?” Jules tried to switch their minds.

”Mother always said to put our safety first,” Alex accused them for not taking enough measures.

Luke nodded his head to agree. Ever since we were stuck together, he always prioritized my health over trying to gain more points. Yulee appeared like she was about to cry as she struggled to make a concrete decision. I pitied her as I knew how much effort went into planning the event. Their families placed so much pressure on them since it was also part of a power play.

”Let's just cancel the event Yulee,” Jules tried to comfort her by rubbing her back.

”My older brother won't let me go for this,” she clenched her fists.

”It's better than something terrible happening like today,” Jules reminded her.

”What would happen if everything that Rika said actually came true?”

There was no better way to convince someone than showing the victim who survived through the exact incidents. I wouldn't be able to walk without all the bandages that temporarily covered all the wounds. Plus, I mostly leaned on Luke for support.

”We'll cancel the event. We'll cancel it,” Her head slumped towards the floor.

”Please excuse me,” she left us to run to another room.

Jules awkwardly smiled as he excused himself as well to handle the rest of the mess. His mansion wouldn't be available for more guests who could be heading towards us. The floors were still full of dangerous weapons and shards of broken crystals and glass.

”Are you really a target?” Alex warily sneaked a glance at Luke before asking.

”I wasn't the original target. It was that guy who Jules kicked out a few hours ago,” I began to explain.

”That guy's younger sister is Ella. She follows him around, making sure no girls can get near him or this happens,” I pointed at myself.

”But there's another guy who follows Ella around without her knowing it. He's her partner. And I'm his target since I'm the only chance he has for him to get through to her,” I still couldn't believe this was happening to me.

The three of them appeared stunned from my brief explanation. It was like everything that happened was starting to sink inside their heads as if they made sense now. It was likely that everything happened here would repeat again as long as we ran into each other at the same events.
