NovelApexChapter 820
It wasn't until a few days later that Leif and Jeanette's paths officially crossed.
The first real argument between Jeanette and Chuck erupted not long after they arrived in Magnolia. It all started
because Jeanette had her eye on an expensive designer item, but Chuck flat-out refused to buy it for her, saying
it was too much. The argument lasted the entire car ride home, with Chuck-rarely so stern-finally losing his
temper.
"I broke things off with my family and cto this dump of a college for you, Jeanette. Tell me, is there anything
you've wanted that | haven't bought for you?"
He gripped the steering wheel tighter, his tone sharp. "Don't you think you're pushing it? It'd be one thing if | still
had money, but my parents froze my cards. Can't you just be a little more understanding?"
Chuck's outburst echoed in the cramped car. Jeanette looked at his unremarkable face, already feeling a growing
sense of disgust. He made a fuss over a bit of money-just as she suspected, he was nothing more than a flashy
upstart, lacking the easy grace of real old money. Maybe she'd have to get used to hard times if she stuck with
him, and that thought made her stomach twist.
Jeanette's annoyance deepened as she stewed in silence. After a while, a glint flickered in her eyes as a new idea
cto her. She cast a final glance at Chuck —still fuming about her spending—and made up her mind.
Leif, after all, was royalty—even if only from sdistant African country. He could certainly offer more than
Chuck ever would. Thinking of Chuck's forgettable features, and then remembering Leif's dark, striking face,
Jeanette felt a surge of confidence. Back home, she might have been ordinary, but here in Magnolia- surrounded
by tall, fair-haired women-her petite, delicate looks stood out.
With a man like Leif, Jeanette was sure she could have him eating out of her hand. Still, he was a bit too dark for
her tastes; maybe he could be her backup plan, but she'd never actually marry a Black man. The very thought
made her scoff. No, that was out of the question.
With her mind made up, Jeanette started plotting her next move.

The following day, she was planning to use Chuck as an excuse to get closer to Leif. But to her surprise, Leif
somehow got her number and texted her first, inviting her out.
Seeing his message, Jeanette couldn't help but smile to herself.
That afternoon, they met at a café near campus. Leif was the perfect gentleman, his manners warm and
polished, while Jeanette put on an air of Superiority, as if she were above it all. Leif didn't seem the least bit

Jeanette's eyes sparkled at the sight of those rare, limited-edition bags she hadn't seen in ages.
For the next several days, Leif sent her more gifts-jewelry, clothes, even the latest gadgets. His generosity
awakened a greedy longing in her.
Finally, one evening, Leif invited her out for drinks. This time, Jeanette didn't say
no.
A few glasses of wine later, one thing led to another, and they ended up in bed together.
