Chapter 368 - Gossip

"It's Valentine's Day soon. What gifts do your boyfriends prepare for you?" They were talking about Valentine's Day, and all girls were listening carefully with happy expressions.

"Janet is the envy of us! She was so happy!"

"What?" Some students didn't know and became curious. "Tell us the story!"

"Come on, it's nothing." Janet did not care, but she raised her eyebrows in a complacent manner.

"Her boyfriend bought a suite on the top floor in Landscape Estate as their future home! He may propose on Valentine's Day!"

"Wow, congratulations!"

"It's Landscape Estate! That place is very expensive! It should be 20,000 per square meter, right?"

"More or less." Janet couldn't hide her joy and pride. "The apartment he bought is only 288 square meters. It's enough for us."

"..."

Sydnee took a sip of tea suspiciously. The apartment she bought for Emily was also in Landscape Estate. It was also the top floor, 288 square meters, with a small balcony of 90 square meters.

"Then why don't you bring your boyfriend with you?"

"We just moved in last week and haven't cleaned up yet. He's decorating at home."

"Wow, so sweet. Janet, why is your life so good? You found such a good boyfriend quickly. He's rich, and treat you very well. I'm so jealous."

"Your boyfriends are good too."

"But he's not as good as yours. I'm so envious!"

Janet revealed a proud and complacent smile. When she saw Sydnee raising eyebrows, she asked provocatively, "What's wrong? You seem to have a question."

Sydnee put down the cup and said, "Well, I was just curious about the time you bought it."

"Why are you curious about this? You can't afford it anyway." Someone said harshly.

"Yeah, why be curious? It was bought for Janet by her boyfriend."

"You want it? Ask your boyfriend to buy for you!"

Janet's vanity was satisfied. She pretended to unhappily look at her classmates who stood up for her, saying, "Stop. Don't say that. She is our classmate. You know her family is not rich, and you shouldn't provoke her like this..."

Sydnee really wanted to beat her.

She took a sip of tea and said, "Fine, forget my question."

Janet said generously, "No problem. If you're curious, I can take you to have a look. You can let your boyfriend buy you the same one."

Her words were like sarcasm and mockery. Everyone laughed loudly.

Only Sydnee didn't laugh. She began to think about why she had to sit here for so long instead of pouring a pot of tea on their heads and leaving directly.

She assumed what she would do if she were Emily.

If she were Emily, she should bring these people to see the two apartments she bought, letting them know what it meant to be rich.

"Alright." Sydnee stood up and said, "Let's go. Let's go admire your home."

"..."

Janet was stunned for a moment. The other students stood up excitedly. "Great! let's go take a look together. Janet, can we go now?"

"Sure." Janet stood up and called her boyfriend. She told him she would bring a few classmates back and asked him to prepare tea.

Everyone was ready. When they left, someone asked Sydnee, "Didn't your boyfriend say he was coming? Why haven't we seen anyone yet?"

"He's busy. He just texted me he can't come." Sydnee couldn't wait to go anywhere else because Eliot might really come.

However, when they were taking a taxi at the entrance, they saw a golden Rolls-Royce car pulling off.

Dressed in pure white gloves, the driver got out of the car and trotted to the back door. He adjusted his tie and respectfully opened the door. Here came a pair of long legs, followed by a Rolex wristwatch, then, a dark blue suit with Hermes' logo on the belt.

Eliot lowered his head and got out of the car, with a limited edition LV scarf in his hand.

Everyone at the entrance, including Sydnee, were stunned for a while before they heard someone asking,

"Mr. Eliot, why are you here?"

What happened to the Britts spread more or less to the City Y. Most people knew that Beverly was taken away by police for tax evasion issue. She was sentenced to prison probably because the amount of money involved was too large and Maury refused to save her despite their marriage.

Eliot was probably opposed to his father's decision to give up his mother, so he left the the Britt's resolutely and prepared to start his own career.

Of course, there were a few people who believed that Eliot left home because the Britt Group was waning.

Eliot looked around for Sydnee, who was hiding behind the crowd. He smiled gently and said, "I'm picking up my girlfriend."

"Girlfriend?" Everyone was shocked.

Eliot, one of the most handsome guys of his school, had never have any affair with girls in his college days. Even though many beauties had a crush on him, he always turned a blind eye to them. As a result, he kept single all through college.

Although he was at the age of marriage, few had heard that he had dated girls. The only affair was about Sydnee.

Eliot was obviously fought against Marquise to take a revenge for his sister, but the scandal was that they fought for Sydnee.

Bullshit!

Sydnee and Eliot?

They had nothing to do with each other! How could such a scandal spread?

That was ridiculous.

Janet even stared at Sydnee intentionally as if she was saying, "The only connection between you and Eliot in your lifetime is probably this scandal."

A girl standing beside Sydnee even took the opportunity to mock her, "Look at him. Your boyfriend will probably be ashamed later. You'd better not let him come."

"How?"

The girl advised maliciously, "Ask him to go home and hide."

"He's already here." Sydnee said numbly.

"..."

The girl looked at her blankly. Everything hushed. She turned around and saw Eliot walking over. The other people unconsciously made way for him.

Only Sydnee stood there, ignorant of what was going on.

Some students teased, "Oh my God, haven't she seen a man? Look at her, she's dumbfounded."

"Yeah, she dared not move. Didn't she hear Mr. Eliot say he was going to pick up his girlfriend?"

"How funny! Her boyfriend said he was coming, but he hasn't show up yet. I'm afraid he's already..."

Before that person finished his words, he was stunned to see Eliot wrapping the scarf around Sydnee's neck. "You left the scarf on my bed."

"..."

Boom!

All girls froze.

Eliot's girlfriend was Sydnee?!!

The gossip was true?

Sydnee's face turned from red to puce, and from puce to red. She was shamed by his words.

"On the sofa?" Eliot looked at her as if asking for confirmation.

Sydnee felt hard to reply. Why did he ask her such a question? Could he make up something more presentable?'
