The taxi driver furrowed his brow, concern etched across his face as he stole glances at William's bloodied and swollen face through the rear-view mirror."Son, are you sure you don't need to go to the hospital? You look like you've been through a rough time," the driver remarked with genuine worry.William sighed, growing frustrated with the persistent concern for his well-being. He met the driver's eyes in the mirror, determined to downplay the severity of his injuries."I appreciate the concern, but trust me, these injuries aren't as bad as they look. No need for the hospital. Just take me to Maximus rental store," he insisted, redirecting the focus away from his battered appearance.William wiped away a trickle of blood running down the side of his face, emanating from an unseen wound on his head. The taxi driver let out a disapproving sigh, shaking his head in response to William's insistence that the injuries were minor."Young people these days," the driver muttered under his b

I'm still trying to wrap my head around this whole thing. Did Jessica really strip naked and try to sleep with you?" Tommy asked impatiently, eager to hear the answer.A small chuckle escaped Jake as he looked at Caleb with a mix of surprise and amusement."You're full of surprises these days, Caleb. I mean, Jessica, the girl who's been relentlessly mean to you, suddenly undressing in a hotel room, trying to get you to sleep with her? It sounds crazy.

"You better watch yourself, Caleb," Carl muttered through gritted teeth.Tommy, trying to maintain a calm atmosphere, addressed the situation."Carl, i think Caleb's right. This is between him and Jessica. It's not our place to get involved. Let it go, Carl."Jake added his voice to the mix, firm yet composed. "Exactly, you need to ease up, Carl.

Caleb's words, suggesting she tell about that night, hit Jessica hard, making her wish she hadn't provoked him earlier. She regretted mocking him harshly, because now, she stood in the limelight, surrounded by whispers and stifled laughter in the classroom, she found herself stuck in the mess she unwittingly created.

I can't believe she slapped Carl. He was just trying to help, and now everything's chaotic.""This is like a soap opera. I thought Carl was the good guy, but Jessica's reaction is making everything so confusing.""I'm genuinely surprised. Carl was defending her, and she slapped him? What's happening in this class?""Jessica's actions just added more drama to an already chaotic situation. Now everyone's even more bewildered."Carl's gaze remained fixed on her, a sense of betrayal settling in the pit of his stomach that he couldn't shake off.Caleb watched with amusement as Carl stood in disbelief, a smirk playing on Caleb's lips.

The fact that he had used the money on seemingly frivolous endeavors, such as treating everyone to an expensive restaurant and rescuing two women who had never given him the time of day, left them questioning his decision-making. They pondered why, if Caleb had initially intended to invest the money, he hadn't followed through with that plan.Tommy, Jake, and Jane found themselves puzzled by Caleb's financial decisions. They wondered if Caleb's lifelong experience of financial struggle had influenced his newfound approach to wealth. Perhaps, they speculated, his lack of familiarity with substantial sums led him to spend it in a seemingly extravagant manner.Despite their confusion about Caleb's choices—especially using a significant portion of the money on people who hadn't treated him kindly—they acknowledged the reasonableness of his explanation. Jane couldn't help but express her frustration, "Caleb, why spend your winnings on unnecessary things like treating a large group at a r

The drama had reached its conclusion, leaving no reason to linger.In the quiet aftermath, only Kenneth, Carl, and Tracy remained. Their attention converged on a single figure—Jessica."What's happening between you, Jessica, and Caleb? Is he thrash you with something? Or does he know some secret of yours, and you're afraid he might expose it?" Tracy inquired, puzzled by Jessica's uncharacteristic behavior. It was a far cry from the feisty Jessica she had known for years.Jessica locked eyes with Tracy. The room was pregnant with suspense as Kenneth and Carl waited for her response, hanging on to every moment of the impending revelation. A heavy silence lingered.Jessica, with a heavy heart, shook her head and broke the silence."Caleb isn't holding anything over me, and he's not aware of any secrets I might have. The truth is, I owe him $50,000," she admitted, her shoulders sagging, as she cast a help
