Chapter 125
In the past, Percy would never have allowed Stellar to step foot in a place like this.
And back then, she had always been obedient, never doing anything that displeased him.
But look at her now–without him, she had completely changed.
Was this who she really was all along?
The thought only made his expression darken further.
Stellar frowned in disgust at his words.
“Do yourself a favor and watch your mouth. You wouldn’t want to stink up the place.”
She used to think his overbearing possessiveness was a form of love.
Looking back now, it was nothing more than his own narrow–minded, self–righteous arrogance.
And now that they had nothing to do with each other, what right did he have to interfere?
Percy was seething.
Beside him, Chris finally spoke up, unable to stay quiet any longer.
“Come on, Stellar, don’t be ungrateful. Percy still cares enough to keep you in check. You should be thanking him and getting back where you belong.”
His tone was laced with condescension, as if her returning to Percy’s side was the only logical option.
After all, having been around Percy for so long, Chris knew exactly what he was thinking.
Percy clearly still had feelings for Stellar.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have bothered stepping in just now.
Stellar shot him a co
cutting glance.
Back then, she tolerated humiliation and condescension for Percy’s sake.
Now? She realized some people only got bolder when indulged.
“A dog should know its place. Since when do they get to bark orders at people?”
“You-!”
Chris’s face turned an ugly shade of red.
And Percy? His expression was equally livid.
“Stellar Rivers! Are you deliberately trying to provoke me?”
Then, in a commanding tone, he ordered, “You’re coming with me. Now,”
Stellar looked at him like he was speaking a foreign language.
Was he really this incapable of understanding simple words?
Just as Stellar was about to speak, a low, sultry laugh suddenly rang out from the side, smooth and teasing.
“Percy, when did you turn into such a pathetic lapdog?”
Percy’s eyes widened.
He jerked his head up and spotted a man not far away, dressed casually, his hair tied into a small braid at the end.
His striking features carried a wicked charm.
The newcomer was Keith Sinclair, the Sinclair family’s heir, and also his
ssworn enemy.

With an easy, unhurried stride, Keith sauntered forward, amusement flickering in his sharp eyes.
“I heard you and Miss Rivers already broke up. A proper ex should disappear like yesterday’s news. But here you are, hanging onto her like a lovesick puppy. Bit undignified, don’t you think?”
Getting caught in a scene like this was humiliating enough.
But being mocked by his worst rival?
Percy’s expression turned stormy, his anger boiling over.
“Our breakup has nothing to do with you. Since when did this become any of your business?”
“Of course, it’s my business because I’m interested in pursuing Miss Rivers. That makes her business mine.”
Percy’s breath hitched, fury flaring like an uncontrollable wildfire.
What? This bastard wanted to pursue Stellar?
He whipped his head toward her, his voice sharp.
“Stellar, don’t tell me you’d actually consider being with someone
rahim?
Stellar arched a brow, as if giving it some thought.
“If we get along… why not?”
She had to lie to shut this obnoxious man up.
Percy was speechless..

His mind exploded with disbelief.
Wasn’t she Stephen’s girlfriend? Was that a lie?
Or… was she trying to have both of them?
When did Stellar become so shameless?
Chris and the others stood frozen, too stunned to speak.
What?
Keith was actually interested in a woman Percy had dumped?
Before
anyone could react further, Suzy, having noticed the commotion, made her way over.
And the moment her gaze landed on Keith, her interest was immediately piqued.
