Chapter 685 A Coincidence

Harper urged Celine to attend Enzer's birthday party over the weekend and to retrieve the photo fromSasha.

After pondering for a few days, Celine decided to follow Harper's advice.

Harper was worried about her going alone. So, on Sunday, she arrived at her house early toaccompany her to the Silvercrest Lounge.

Enzer's family was wealthy, so they didn't hesitate to spend money on his birthday party.

The private room they were looking for was the largest one, so it was easy to replace.

The two of them effortlessly reached the door of the private room. Even before they entered, they couldhear the lively sounds coming from inside.

Through the transparent panel on the door, Celine could see Sasha and a few others inside.

Aside from Sasha, Celine recognized most of the people inside. They were essentially all from hisprevious school, Trinity Heritage Academy.

Enzer was engrossed in his phone with his head lowered. His friend was trying to talk to him, but heseemed somewhat annoyed.

Celine blocked him on WhatsApp, refused to answer his calls, and ignored all his messages. That leftEnzer feeling extremely frustrated.

Ever since Celine transferred to Gautier High School, it seemed like she completely didn't want to haveany contact with him.

Enzer still remembered what happened on Friday, so he thought Celine probably wouldn't show upduring his birthday party.

Looking around the private room at his familiar friends, he felt bored. Picking up his phone, he stoodup, intending to step outside for a breather. As he did so, he casually asked Alvin for his phone.

Alvin looked baffled. “Don't you have your own phone? Why do you need mine?”

“Why are you asking so many questions? Give me the phone!”

“Here you go! Here you go! Today is your birthday. I'll give you whatever you want!”

Alvin handed his phone over to Enzer. Without any hesitation, Enzer took the phone and started to walkaway.

Seeing him about to leave the private room, Alvin was somewhat curious. “Where are you going?”

Without even looking back, Enzer left. Alvin cursed under his breath. Sasha came over to him andasked, “Where did Enzer go?”

“Who knows? He took my phone away.”

Hearing his words, Sasha breathed a sigh of relief. “Oh. He might have gone out to make a call.”

After some thought, Alvin agreed. If he were to leave, he wouldn't necessarily take his phone with him.

Enzer initially planned to borrow Alvin's phone to give Celine a call outside. However, as soon as hepushed open the private room door, he saw Celine standing at the entrance with her classmate.

Enzer was taken aback. “Celine, why are you standing here? Why aren't you going in?”

Celine gave him a glance, passing over the gift she had prepared on the spot. “Enzer, happy birthday,”she said.

Enzer initially thought that Celine wouldn't appear that day. To his surprise, not only did she show up,but she also brought gifts with her.

Enzer instantly felt all his anger dissipate. “Thanks. Come on in. We're all old classmates from TrinityHeritage Academy. You'll recognize everyone.”

Celine glanced at Harper, who gently patted Celine's shoulder to comfort her. “Enzer, you wouldn't mindif I join in, would you?”

Enzer didn't mind. “You're a friend of Celine. Of course I wouldn't mind.”

“Thank you, happy birthday. Cece, let's go inside and see what delicious food they have!” Harper saidand pulled Celine into the private room.

Enzer also turned around and followed suit. He casually tossed Alvin's phone back to him.

Alvin was somewhat surprised. “That was fast. Who did you call? Can't you use your own phone?”

Enzer grabbed a piece of watermelon and shoved it directly into his mouth. “Eat. You sure talk a lot!”

Alvin raised an eyebrow, retrieving his phone. Soon, he noticed Celine and exclaimed, “Oh? Celine ishere too? What a rare occurrence!”

As soon as Celine and Harper entered, Sasha and Shirley immediately noticed them. Thinking of thephoto in Harper's hand, both of their faces stiffened for a moment.

The lighting in the private room wasn't very bright, but Harper recognized the two girls from theprevious time at first glance.

She led Celine over and had her sit next to her. She then sat right next to Sasha and uttered, “What acoincidence! We meet again.”

Sasha reacted with surprise. “How did you guys end up here?”

Harper handed Celine a piece of watermelon, taking one for herself as well. As she ate, she said,“Well, you'll have to ask the birthday boy about that. After all, he's the one who invited Cece over.”

Enzer came over with some juice, placing a glass before Celine and Harper. He glanced at Sasha andsaid, “Isn't Celine our former classmate? What's wrong with me inviting her?”

Sasha looked at the smug Harper, her face a bit unpleasant. “It's nothing. I just thought Celine, havingtransferred schools, wouldn't keep in touch with us anymore.”

Upon hearing Sasha's words, Enzer became upset. “Just because she transferred schools, does thatmean we're no longer friends? After all, we were classmates with Celine for a year, weren't we?”

“Isn't that right, Celine?” Enzer asked.

Celine was suddenly called out, so she glanced at Enzer in bafflement. “Yes.”

Sasha was left speechless by Enzer's words, biting her straw in silence.

Enzer picked up the microphone again. “Do you want to sing, Celine?”

Celine quickly shook her head. “I can't sing.”

“Who can't sing? Are you pulling my leg?” Enzer questioned.

After finishing her watermelon, Harper pushed away Enzer's microphone. “If she says she can't, thenshe can't. What's the matter? Must one know how to sing before they could attend your birthday party?”

When Harper rebuked Enzer like that, he scratched his head and said, “That's not what I meant. I wasjust asking. If you can't sing, then just eat.”

As he spoke, he tossed the microphone aside.

Harper scoffed and said, “Birthday boy, your friend is calling out for you!”

Not far away, someone was indeed calling for Enzer. It was no longer appropriate for Enzer to staynear Celine.

“Go ahead and eat. Don't be shy,” he said.

It was clear that Enzer was in a good mood.

Seeing him leave, Harper turned directly to Sasha and got straight to the point. “You should still have afresh memory of our last meeting, right? I have quite a few of your photos in my possession.”

Upon hearing Harper's words, Shirley became immediately anxious. “We didn't send out Celine'sphotos, you mustn't—”

Harper scoffed. “Do you want your photos back?”

Sasha and Shirley exchanged glances. We do!

“What can we do to get you to delete those photos?”

“Simple. You delete all the photos of Celine that you have, and I'll delete all the photos of you that Ihave,” Harper answered.

Sasha didn't speak. Instead, she just looked at Celine.

In the past, Celine would have been scared by her gaze, but that day, with Harper by her side, sheinexplicably gained a bit more courage and dared to meet Sasha's eyes.

Upon seeing that Celine had dared to meet her gaze, Sasha's expression changed momentarily. “Fine.”

She wasn't exactly foolish either, so she added, “But how can I be sure you've deleted all our photos?”

Harper rolled her eyes. “I have no grudge against you guys. If you don't mess with me, why would Imess with you? I'll throw your question back at you. How can I be sure you've deleted all of Cece'sphotos?”

After some thought, Sasha said, “I only backed up the photos on my home computer and mobilephone. Nowhere else.”

She had originally backed it up on the cloud storage, but after that day, she deleted it from there, too,fearing that she would be done for if it ever got leaked.

“What a coincidence! Me too.”

Harper suggested, “How about this? Let's add each other on WhatsApp. Tonight, when we get home,we can video call and delete all the photos together.”

Sasha pursed her lips. “Okay.”

Harper turned her head slightly toward Celine. “Cece?”

“All right.”
