Chapter 280
Halsey stood up, unfazed. “Jessica, get this straight: this is my territory, not the Hawk family’s. Someone get them out of here!”
“On it!”
Before Jessica and Sienna could even struggle, there was a loud “bang“, and they were unceremoniously thrown out. The two of them landed in a heap outside the door, utterly humiliated.
Isabel laughed cruelly while Halsey flashed a playful grin, her eyes gleaming with amusement. She had promised to give them a memorable experience.
How dare they pick on Wendy, her good friend! Did they think no one had Wendy’s back?
After Wendy had been so terribly ill recently, Halsey finally got the chance to settle the score. She had just avenged Wendy in the most satisfying way possible.
Outside, Jessica and Sienna scrambled to their feet, shocked by how quickly things had turned. They never expected to be tossed out of the Lincoln family’s estate.
Halsey was infuriating! Anyone who hung out with Wendy was nothing but trouble!
“Jessica, Bebe is completely on Wendy’s side. What should we do now?” Sienna asked, her voice laced with frustration.
Jessica’s expression turned dark and vengeful. She wasn’t about to let this slide.
“We leave for now,” she muttered, her anger bubbling.
The two women started to walk away, but as luck would have it, it began to rain.
Jessica felt like the universe had it out for her. She had just been kicked out of the Lincolns‘, and now she was about to get soaked.
Just then, a luxury car pulled up. The driver lowered the window and called to Sienna, “Are you Ms. Sienna? My boss would like you to get in.”
His boss? Who was that?
Sienna opened the back door and climbed in with Jessica. As they settled into the back seat, they saw none other than Gilbert Greenwood.
Gilbert was the heir of the Greenwood family, the handsome heartthrob of Clavendale University. He was not only the captain of the basketball team, but also the object of affection for countless female fans.
Sienna hadn’t expected to see Gilbert. She wasn’t very familiar with him since her attention had always been on Nathan. Still, she and Gilbert were both the campus’s most popular figures–he the campus heartthrob, and she the campus belle.
Sienna was mindful of her image around men. With her pure and pretty appearance, along with her voluptuous chest, she was a total dream girl in the eyes of many. She smiled at Gilbert, her voice sweet as she thanked him. ” Thanks, Gilbert.
Gilbert returned her smile, his charm undeniable. “No problem, Sienna.”
He handed her a towel. “You’re wet. Here, you can use this to dry off.”
“Thanks.”

Jessica watched Gilbert closely, her eyes lighting up. If she remembered correctly, Gilbert was engaged to Halsey,
The Lincoln and Greenwood families had a long–standing marriage pact. Bebe, the Lincoln family’s daughter, was promised to Gilbert, the Greenwood heit.
Gilbert’s gaze was focused entirely on Sienna, and the warmth in his eyes made Jessica smirk knowingly.
Just then, Gilbert’s phone rang with a melodious ringtone, and he picked up the call. Halsey’s voice immediately came through, full of excitement. “Gilbert, don’t forget our movie date tonight at seven!”
Gilbert pressed his lips together, responding with a calm, Got it,” before hanging up.
Jessica took note of everything. A plan was already forming in her mind.
Soon, the luxury car pulled up to Clavendale University. Jessica and Sienna got out.
“Thanks, Gilbert,” Sienna said.
Gilbert smiled. “My pleasure.”
As they watched the car drive off, Jessica grabbed Sienna’s arm.
“Sienna, didn’t you notice? Gilbert is into you!”
Sienna frowned. “But he’s engaged to Halsey.”
“Halsey looks down on you, right? Why not steal her fiancé? That would be a far more satisfying victory, wouldn’t it?” Jessica suggested, her voice full of malice.
