Chapter 294
Halsey pushed through the crowd, making her way to Gilbert and Sienna.
The moment Sienna saw her, fear flashed across her face, she quickly hid behind Gilbert. “Halsey, please don’t hit me again…”

Gilbert stepped in front of Sienna, his expression one of disgust as he looked at Halsey, “Halsey, what are you trying to do now?”
Halsey smirked. “Sienna, are you so scared I’ll hit you? Maybe you know you deserve it, huh? That’s what you get for third–wheeling!”
Third–wheeling?
The students around them gasped, and whispers quickly filled the air.
“Why did Halsey say Sienna was third–wheeling?”
“What’s the deal between Halsey and Gilbert?”
Gilbert’s expression darkened. “Halsey, are you done causing trouble? Just leave, now!”
But Halsey stood firm, not budging an inch. “Gilbert, are you afraid? Afraid that people will find out we’re engaged? Are you worried they’ll know that you’re my fiance?”
-Halsey couldn’t help but feel a little foolish. Gilbert had never once publicly acknowledged their relationship, and that fact spoke volumes.
Gilbert opened his mouth to say something, but Halsey cut him off. “Gilbert, let’s call it off. I want to end our engagement.‘
Gilbert froze, clearly taken aback. He hadn’t expected Halsey to say that.
The Lincolns and the Greenwoods had been family friends for generations. His parents had arranged for him to pursue Halsey, telling him that she was the one he would eventually marry. That was why he had been so deliberate in getting close to Halsey.
He had complimented her looks and told her he loved her, and it worked. He had her wrapped around his finger.
She was always trailing behind him, sharing everything she enjoyed–food, fun, you name it. She was bubbly, cheerful, and bright, but to Gilbert, she seemed silly.
Looking at the birthmark on her face, he felt nothing but disgust.
Then he saw Sienna on the basketball court. The typical teenage boy was easily drawn to Sienna’s figure, especially now, when Sienna was practically throwing herself at him.
But he hadn’t expected Halsey to want to call off the engagement.
He couldn’t believe the uggo actually wanted to break things off with him!
For the first time, Gilbert looked at Halsey differently. Her eyes were clean, beautiful, and shining with something he hadn’t noticed before.
Halsey spoke again, her voice steady, “Gilbert, listen closely. You’re not abandoning me. I’m getting rid of you instead. We’re ending this engagement.”
She took the bracelet off her wrist, the one that had been given to her by Gilbert’s mother during their engagement, and handed it to him.

This bracelet was a family heirloom from the Greenwood family, a symbol of their engagement.
Now, she was returning it.
Gilbert’s eyes turned cold. “Halsey, you’re the one who wants this engagement over. Don’t come crying to me when you regret it.”
“I won’t regret it,” Halsey said, her voice unwavering.
“Fine,” Gilbert snapped. “We’ll end it.”
He took the heirloom bracelet from her, his face grim.
Without another word, Halsey turned on her heel and walked away. As she passed Sienna, she called out loudly, Everyone, make sure you keep an eye on your boyfriends. Sienna here loves stealing other people’s men!”
Sienna’s face drained of color. “You little…”
But Halsey ignored her, walking away without a second glance.
The students around them started murmuring, pointing fingers at Gilbert and Sienna.
“Oh, my God! Gilbert was engaged? How could he be hanging around with Sienna behind his fiancée’s back?” “Did you see how Sienna practically pressed herself against him just now? She really is third–wheeling.” “Wow, didn’t expect our dream girl to be so open–minded. But I mean, just look at those assets. What guy could resist her?”
