Chapter 119. Ghost from the Past

Fenella’s POV

My mouth hung open in disbelief at everything Laird told me. So, Amy was behind all my bad luck all this time? My bully was the one who had been the wall between Laird and me.

I had suspected Amy for a long time that she was the cause of my plan's failure at prom night. But I never expected her to accuse me like that in front of Laird.

"So, is that the real reason you rejected me back then?"

He sighed deeply. His cigarette was finished, the story had been pieced together, and now all that was left was regret that came too late. Laird shrugged.

"I've been a jerk, Fenella. My mistake all this time was jumping to conclusions too quickly and getting angry without confirming things with you. Even now, I admit my anger still leads me to make irrational decisions."

"So, about the type of girl you like being a model or Charlotte McMillian—"

"It was all nonsense that blurted out. I told you, I just randomly pointed at a billboard."
