Chapter 282 Congratulations You Played Yourself
Eliza didn’t agree with Colton’s accusation of betrayal.
She said. “This is between us, Colton. Stay out of it”
“Us? So now it’s you and Henry, huh?”
Colton nearly laughed in disbelief.
“Eliza, how could you do this? Don’t you feel guilty toward Nolan?”

“When Nolan got engaged to Elaine and kept it from me, was he thinking about whether it was fair to me?”
That shut Colton up completely. He opened his mouth, but nothing came out.
“Colton, I’ve always seen you as a good friend. l’in engaged to Henry now, and I’d hoped you’d give us your blessing. Relationships aren’t so easy to explain. As for me and Nolan, there’s no chance now.”
–
When Eliza said there was no chance now between her and Nolan. Henry glanced at her.

No chance now… That didn’t mean no chance ever. But Colton didn’t pick up on the nuance in her words. He thought Eliza had gone too far.
“Fine, Eliza. If you’re really with him, then let’s just not be friends anymore. We’re done.”
He reached for Lewis. “Come on, Lewis, we’re leaving.”
But Lewis held him back.
Colton frowned. “What’s that supposed to mean?”
Lewis smiled at Eliza and Henry. “You two are getting engaged. As your friends, we congratulate you. Colton just tends to act impulsively–don’t take it to heart.”
Colton’s face turned black as soon as he heard Lewis speak so politely, “Lewis! What the hell are you saying?”
“We’ve got things to do, so we’ll head out.”
Lewis kept up the surface–level courtesy and then dragged Colton toward the exit.
Colton growled, “When did I ever say congratulations? Those two are traitors!”
“Nolan was the one who wronged Eliza first. What else is there to say?”
“She still shouldn’t be going this far with Henry, should she? Engaged? If she does that, then she and Nolan are done for good.”
“That’s not our concern,”
Lewis replied, “Just worry about yourself. I don’t think things between Nolan and Eliza are as bad as they
“Not that bad? Did you not see the way Eliza acted just now?”

The more Colton thought about it, the angrier he got.
“You clearly didn’t understand a word she said back there.”

“What do you mean I didn’t understand? She was obviously saying she’s not calling off the engagement wit Henry.
Colton had heard her loud and clear–Eliza wasn’t backing out of her engagement, and she had said there was no chance with Nolan.
Lewis reminded him. “She said there’s no chance with Nolan right now. She didn’t say forever.
Colton’s brows furrowed. Was that what she meant?
“You get it now?”
“Maybe you heard her wrong.”
Not far away, Henry handed Eliza a glass of champagne. “Feeling upset?”
“No.”
She shook her head. “I didn’t tell them in advance, so I get why they’re mad.”
Henry raised a hand and tapped her lightly on the forehead. “You understand everything–don’t you think you’re a little too good–natured?”
For a second, when Eliza looked up at him, she felt like she was looking at the Henry from their high school days.
No schemes; just a warm, sunny boy.
“Remember, you’re the noble daughter of the Sue family. You don’t need to cater to others, and you sure as hell don’t need to understand them. Your status is powerful enough–they should be the ones understanding and adjusting to you.”
“I know. But Colton and Lewis are my friends. If it were anyone else, I wouldn’t bother trying to understand
them.”
“As long as you know that.”
While the two were talking. Naomi walked over from across the room.
She wore a flowing white gown, and looked like a proud, elegant swan. From the moment she entered, she had drawn the attention of nearly everyone.
Naomi had dressed beautifully, with just the right touch of mature allure in her features.
She was incredibly popular among the guys; many of them wanted to befriend her.
As soon as she stepped into the room, a crowd of boys swarmed around her.
She stood out even more in that sea of men–but she never favored just one. Every guy there looked utterly enchanted by her.

Eliza had long known what Naomi was capable of. Naomi had a way of making men fall head over heels for
her.
Meanwhile, a group of girls nearby shot Naomi dirty looks.
“All she does is flirt with guys every day, like she’s desperate for attention. Honestly, it’s pathetic.”
“Right? She thinks she’s some knockout, but it’s all just because she acts cheap.”
“Everyone knows she got in through the back door by sleeping with someone. These guys are idiots for falling for it.”
