Chapter 296
“Tomorrow, Gilbert is going to embarrass Halsey in front of everyone!”
The campus heartthrob pairing up with the campus queen at Clavendale University–many people were supportive of their relationship.
Hearing these words, Wendy smirked, her lips curling into a cold smile. Over the past few days, Sienna had been stirring up trouble. There was no doubt Jessica had been behind it, pushing Sienna to target Halsey.
Did they really think they could embarrass Halsey tomorrow?
Wendy wasn’t so sure who would be the one with an egg on their face.
She returned to the girls‘ dorm just as Halsey, holding Dwight’s black jacket, was about to head out.
“Halsey, wait a minute,” Wendy called to her.
Halsey had planned to get Dwight’s jacket dry–cleaned, but stopped when Wendy called her name. “What’s up, Wendy?”
Wendy pulled out a colorful candy. “Here. I got this for you!
Halsey had a sweet tooth, so she eagerly took the candy and popped it into her mouth. “Thanks–ugh, it’s so bitter!”
-Halsey immediately wanted to spit out the awful–tasting candy, but Wendy covered her mouth. “Don’t spit it out.
Remember, some medicines are bitter, but they’re good for you. Swallow it.”
Reluctantly, Halsey swallowed the bitter candy. “Wendy, what on earth was that? It tastes horrible!”
Wendy, watching Halsey’s soft, beautiful face partially covered by the birthmark, gave her a mysterious wink. ” It’s a secret. You’ll find out tomorrow.”
“Okay. I’ll head out now,” Halsey said, her curiosity piqued as she ran off.
After Dwight’s jacket had been dry–cleaned, Halsey folded it neatly and put it in a bag. Then, she went to find Dwight.
“Excuse me. I’m looking for someone,” Halsey called out to a guy in the hallway.
The guy glanced at her. “Are you looking for Dwight?”
Halsey was surprised. “How did you know?”
He smiled. “We get a lot of girls coming to look for him every day. We’re used to it.”
Dwight was that popular, huh?
Although Dwight and Gilbert were both considered the top heartthrobs at Clavendale University, Gilbert was loud and flashy, whereas Dwight usually kept to himself. He often wasn’t even on campus, but girls still kept coming to find him.
“So is Dwight here? I need to talk to him.”
The guy shook his head. “He hasn’t been here for a few days. He’s probably out working to make money.‘
Halsey froze.

Chapter 296
“You know Dwight’s family situation, right? His dad passed away a while ago, and his mom’s blind. He also has a younger sister in middle school.
“He’s a top student. He was the top science student in our state during the SATs, and that was why Clavendale University offered him a full scholarship. But since he’s the only one who can support his family, he’s been working to help out. If you want to find him, you’ll have to go to his house.”
Halsey had heard that Dwight’s father had been involved in the drug trade, but she hadn’t known about his blind mother or younger sister.
“Okay. Do you know where he lives?” she asked.
“Down on Wentworth Drive.”
“Thank you.”
Determined to find Dwight, Halsey went to a shopping mall first and bought some expensive supplements. Then, she took a cab to Wentworth Drive
Wentworth Drive was a poor neighborhood–dark, damp, and dreary. It was Halsey’s first time in such a place. She was used to the luxurious, pristine neighborhoods of Hovendale, where space was as precious as gold. This area was a far cry from that.
Carrying the high–end gift box, Halsey walked through the muddy, rain–soaked paths, which dirtied her skirt and the round–toe leather shoes she was wearing.
Halsey was very particular about cleanliness, and though she resisted the urge to wipe her shoes, she couldn’t help but feel uncomfortable.
Still, she pressed on and finally found Dwight’s home.
