The Principessa Bought a Genius Boyfriend Chapter 09

“I just disappeared, I didn’t lose my memory.”

I stared at her coldly.

“After Vincent and I got together, you cornered me in the girls’ bathroom. Do you remember what you said back then?

“You said—how much did you pay to keep Vincent, Isabella?”

Aurora panicked. “I don’t remember…”

“Then later when people called Vincent a gigolo to his face, did you forget that too? That awful nickname started spreading from you, didn’t it?”

“No, it didn’t, you’re just making this up.”

“I don’t know the rules of your little circle, but what would fans think if it got out that a super star used to bully classmates with words?”

“Isabella!” Aurora raised her voice. “You’re the one spreading lies now!”

“Oh? Then do you want me to get a few old classmates to back me up?”

She deflated in an instant.

“Please, Isabella, I’ll give you whatever amount of money you want just stop bringing this up, okay?

“Don’t tell Vincent, I was young and stupid back then and I hurt him, but I really love him now, I can make it up to him.”

“You think you only hurt him?”

I shook my head in resignation.

“Aurora, you hurt me too.”

“I’ll apologize to you!” She panicked. “Please Isabella, don’t tell Vincent, don’t ruin the image I have of me in his head…”

Before she finished talking, the curtain of the exam room suddenly pulled open.

Vincent stood by the window.

It looked like he’d been standing there for a long time.

Aurora left, devastated and out of her mind.

Vincent was never a forgiving guy anyway.

He hated those old rumors more than anything, so he didn’t give Aurora any grace.

Vincent didn’t usually swear much.

But he was a top student, he could leave someone with lifelong trauma without uttering a single curse word.

Aurora probably wouldn’t dare show her face around him ever again after that.

“Are you okay?” I looked at Vincent.

His cuts were shallow and already cleaned up. “Will this mess up your company?”

“Don’t worry, it’s not a big deal. But Marcus is gonna need stitches.”

I couldn’t help but curse, “Stitches is getting off easy. Hope the bastard gets disfigured.”

Vincent suddenly smiled. “That’s the you I know.”

“What?”

“That’s the real you. How long has it been since you said something this unapologetic? Say more, I wanna hear it.”

I froze.

I really was reckless back then. I had an entire family backing me, I could do whatever I wanted.

I couldn’t help but curse another one. “Fuck this business shit, all of them are just a bunch of liars.”

“And more?”

“Prices went up again, how the hell is anyone supposed to live like this?”

“Good, keep going.”

“Fucking overtime, I just wanna stay home and watch TV and sleep.”

“Are you complaining about me?”

“I’m not, how would I dare.”

“You’d dare. You always would.”

Sunlight hit the snow, and we bickered the entire way.

Suddenly it felt like we were back in college again.

I let out all the emotions I’d bottled up over the years, and by the end I was crying.

“Wait for me, okay? I’ll pay all the money back to you.”

Vincent started panicking all over again.

“What are you talking about? And why did you suddenly get so mad before? I was wrong to pay your debt without asking, but you couldn’t just ignore me, okay?”

“You thought of me as a burden, how was I supposed to talk to you?”

“A burden?” Vincent frowned. “Who said that?”

“Aurora…”

Wait, could this have just been her messing with me?

But the screenshot was definitely real.

I pulled up our chat history.

Vincent got so angry reading it.

“I wasn’t talking about you at all!”

Vincent pulled up the chat history on his own phone.

He was talking to his friend about paying off a batch of overdue project invoices for his company.

That was what the whole conversation was about before all the other stuff happened.

Somehow the chat got into Aurora’s hands, she cut it off, and twisted the meaning completely.

“But how did she know you were gonna help me pay my debt?”

“She has experience with this sort of thing, paying other people’s debts. I just asked her about it once.”
