Love's Bitter Edge (Eva and Leonard)
Chapter 372

Chapter 372 Gambling Debt

Jill had completely lost herself in love. Most of the things she said revolved around Caleb. However, I still found it strange

As far as I could tell, Caleb wasn't the type of man who would use his girlfriend's money. Jill might've invested in his company, but there should've been an 100 at least. Alternatively, an agreement detailing her investment would work too. However, Caleb didn't mention anything of the sort.

Back when I was going through with the divorce, Caleb even had the presence of mind to tell me to hold tightly onto the shares. So, why did he become

this careless now?

Once I started suspecting Caleb, everything seemned off to me. I wasn't able to sleep for the entire night after Jill left. I was even startled when Astrid dropped by to visit me the next day.

"What's wrong with you, Eve? Haven't you slept at all for the entire night? Are you feeling unwell? Do you need me to call the doctor over?"

I waved repeatedly when I saw that she was nervous. "I'm fine. I just couldn't sleep. This is all normal. It happens occasionally."

1 had relapsed three times. Naturally, I had authority on the subject. Astrid would believe me even if I made stuff up

When we were shooting the breeze, both of us talked about Jill's latest relationship Astrid pursed her lips. "She has forgotten about her friends now that she has a boyfriend. We promised each other we'd hunt for good food,

"You can't be discharged from the hospital now, and fill is busy with her love life and the studio every day. Damn it!"

"Did Caleb run a game company back in college? Jill said he was quite famous on campus back then," I asked casually.

Astrid frowned and pondered on it. "Probably not. I'm not too sure, though. It's not like I was in the same course with him. With that said, he wasn't xactly a popular figure. There were too many distinguished figures on our campus, and Caleb didn't have what it took to stand out."

I thought about how I also doubted Caleb when he had just returned. He said he was the university representative in a debate competition, and he did arrange for me to enroll in the university, but I came to learn that one could earn oneself such a spot if a big enough donation was made.

Naturally, I was the one who footed the bill for the donation to the university, which helped build a library on campus. I didn't think I saw Caleb on the wall of fame for the best competitive debaters. Once I started having doubts, the suspicion kept growing and growing.

wing. "Didn't you used to know Caleb? He's one of the Harmons."

I thought the McLennon family and the Harmon family were both a part of high society. At the very least, both of the families should've had some sort of interaction

Astrid shook her head repeatedly. "I didn't know him before this. He didn't attend classes that often. I might've seen him once during a debate. I don't think he participated much in university activities. "As you know, only a handful of exchange students would diligently attend classes, and I was one of the few. After all, Jack is counting on me to help him out once I return to Pycosia,"

I felt even more discouraged when I heard what Astrid said. We proceeded to chat a little more before I pretended to read some news o I raised it and showed it to her.

"Look over here. The news says that a lot of students have gambling debts. Is this for real?"

"I've been here for a long time, but this is the first time I've heard something like this." Astrid swept her eyes across the news.

on my phone. Then,

"Gee, this is old news. There was one such case in our university. It was a lady who also studied business management, Caleb's course. It seemed like her boyfriend took on a huge loan using her name. "Eventually, she was forced into prostitution. She couldn't take the abuse and jumped off a tall building, killing herself.

*It memory serves me right, the lady was a linovian. She was petite and particularly adorable, but she died a tragic death. Word has it that her body was "It's only normal that you didn't hear about this case. The university launched a serious investigation on it and suppressed news about it as best they could

Astrid know all kinds of gossip. However, the case she mentioned made me

"When did it happen?"

feel extremely alarmed.

"Just last year I don't think it has been a full year since the tragic incident Astrid was still feeling sentimental about the linovian lady's death. However, my heart had begun to sink slowly.

Back then, Led said that Caleb shouldn't have returned to Pyrosta. So, why did he come back?
