Chapter 26: Asking Help From Her Senior
How could she not be angry after being fooled like that?
The last thing she could stand was someone who was deceitful.
Joshua didn’t tell the truth from the beginning, and he even made fun of her by suggesting he wanted to marry her!
After she got back to the dormitory and changed into other clothes, she could not help frowning.
Although she had boasted in front of him that she would give him back the money for the clothes, she had seen the price of the clothes and shoes before he paid for them.
She now wondered if Joshua might have had the price changed.
Fortunately, she had secretly taken pictures of the clothes before he bought them.
She turned on her mobile Skype and sent the photos to Summer, asking her to help evaluate them.
Summer’s family was quite well-off, and she was very familiar with the price of expensive clothes.
“Gucci, the newest style this year. The clothes cost 68, 000, and the shoes cost 29, 000. Good eyes. Did your boyfriend buy it for you?”
Hazel was very distressed to read Summer’s reply.
It turned out that these two things were nearly 100, 000 dollars!
Her family’s financial situation was not bad; her mother was a policewoman. Her father was a doctor, but how could they afford to give her a hundred thousand dollars to spend so extravagantly!
Now the tags had been removed, so it was impossible for her to return them.
But perhaps she could resell them, even if she did suffer a little loss.
She didn’t answer Summer’s question but was thinking about how to sell them.
She rummaged through the list of contacts and finally clicked on a name.
“Senior, are you there?”NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.
“What’s the matter, Hazel?”
In an instant, a clean, warm face came to her mind.
The one she contacted was Ivan Lance, her senior tutor who had helped her before with her studies.
He was from a wealthy family, and many of his female friends were also very wealthy.
“Well, I have a classmate, she bought the latest Gucci clothes and shoes. But as soon as she bought it, something happened to her family. Now she is desperate for money, so she wants to sell them. Can you help me find a buyer? Rest assured. I guarantee they are all genuine and only worn once!” She sent the message with some apprehension.
“Ok, and I’ll contact you.” Ivan quickly replied.
“Thank you, Ivan.” Hazel heaved a sigh.
Thinking for a moment, she added, “Could you please hurry up? Because this student could really use the money.”
“Ok. Hazel, how is your studying going?”
“It is ok.” She was calm.
“We haven’t seen each other for a long time. Shall we get together this evening? It’s my treat, and I can give you some tips for the postgraduate entrance examination,” he said .
“Good.” She agreed. She and Ivan had always been on good terms and often ate together. Plus, it would give her the opportunity to urge him to contact his friends about the clothes.
Early in the evening, she tidied herself up and was ready to go out.
“Hazel, where are you going?” Summer asked miserably.
She and Ariel were trying to press Hazel about what she and Joshua had done today, but Hazel directly said, “I’ll stop speaking to anyone who mentions that name again.”
Hence, they dared not to ask anymore, but they still remained curious…
“I am going to have dinner with the tutor,” Hazel replied.
“Tutor? Who?” Ariel thought carefully and quickly. “Ivan Lance? Hazel really don’t want Joshua…”
Looking at the sudden change in her face, Ariel choked back her words.
“I’m leaving.” Hazel turned around and left
“What now?” After she left, Ariel was annoyed instantly. “What did Joshua do to make Hazel so irritated?! This girl doesn’t notice at all that Ivan Lance has a secret crush on her! Do you think Ivan will try to steal his girlfriend away?”
“We’re not them, so there is no way to tell, but if you are worried…” Summer frowned, she was helpless.
“We can tell Joshua, but we cannot let Hazel find out that we told him. If he really cares, he will definitely go find them.”
“Well, that’s it then!” Ariel nodded.
No sooner had Hazel reached the school gate then Ivan’s car pulled up in front of her.
Rolling down the car window, Ivan smiled at her. “Get in.”
Hazel nodded. But when she opened the door, she saw a figure quickly get into the car ahead of her.
“Ariel, you…” Hazel was speechless.
“Ivan, I heard you invited Hazel to dinner. Summer and I are hungry. Can we have dinner with you?” Ariel said with an air of flattery.
Summer had opened the back door and said to Hazel, “Come in, Hazel!”
The two of them consulted before chasing after her. It was not enough for them to tell Joshua secretly. They knew Ivan might suddenly confess something to Hazel.
“… Ok.” Ivan had no choice but to say yes.
They had both already got in the car, so it was difficult for him just to kick them out.
“You two are really thick-skinned…” she whispered as she got into the car.
“For freeloading eaters, cheeky is a compliment…” Summer said, unconcerned.
After they reached the restaurant, Ivan took them to a reserved room.
No sooner had he opened the door than the expression on all three of the girls’ faces changed.
“Ivan, I don’t think we need to bother eating. Hazel, let’s go!” said Summer angrily.
Ariel had already dragged Hazel, ready to leave.
Hazel’s face had deepened with anger. Even if her relationship with Ivan had been better, she still would have wanted to turn around and leave immediately.
There were already two people in the room. Derek and Kyla were sitting at the table, apparently waiting for them.
It seemed that Derek had used his family connection to bail Kyla out.
Ivan was stunned. He hadn’t expected the three girls to have such a reaction.
“Hazel, I’m sorry I didn’t tell you in advance,” he spoke quickly. “It was Derek who said there was some misunderstanding between you and his girlfriend, so he asked me to bring you here so she would have an opportunity to apologize.”
“Misunderstanding?” Ariel sneered. “Do you know what this bitch has done to Hazel, Ivan? How could they say it was a misunderstanding?!”
Ivan realized something was wrong. He looked at Hazel. “Hazel, what on Earth happened?”
“Let me tell you, Hazel. I really want to apologize to you this time.” Kyla stood up, somewhat fatigued. Apparently, she had been terrified and tortured a lot during her days at the police station.
“Let’s go in and hear what they have to say.” Sucking in a deep breath, Hazel held her anger down.
Ivan had asked her out. She had to give the situation a chance.
Ariel and Summer didn’t want to enter the room. But they were afraid that Hazel would be hurt, so they followed her.
