NovelEnglishChapter 924
Was Michelle trying to stir the pot?
Before Valarie could respond, Brandon looked up at Michelle, his tone slightly cold. "None of you are my
girlfriend, so why would | treat you the same?"
Michelle's smile froze, and an awkward silence settled over the room.
Jayden's grin faded as he said, "Brandon, Michelle was just trying to be friendly. Was it necessary to be so
harsh?"
"I was simply stating facts. If she finds that harsh, perhaps the issue lies with her," Brandon replied calmly.
Jayden frowned, ready to retort, but Yale cut in before he could, "Alright, that's enough. Let's not ruin the mood.
Today is about Brandon introducing his girlfriend to us-they're the main event." Jayden still looked upset but
decided to hold his tongue.
Michelle, on the verge of tears, glanced at Brandon with a pitiful expression. "I'm sorry, Brandon. | didn't mean to
upset you and Valarie. Maybe | should leave so | don't ruin the atmosphere." She reached for her bag and moved
as if to leave.
Jayden immediately stopped her, his voice cold. "Michelle, we're all friends here. If you leave, does that mean
the rest of us should leave too?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMichelle shook her head. "No, this is my fault. | shouldn't make things awkward for Brandon and Valarie."
Valarie narrowed her eyes slightly. From the moment she'd entered, she'd felt irritated by Michelle's lingering
gaze.
Raising an eyebrow, Valarie smiled faintly at Michelle. "Ms. Snowden, there's no need to leave. If you think you
might say something inappropriate, the simplest solution is to stay quiet. No one here will mind if you don't
speak."
Michelle's expression froze, her
carefully constructed pitiful act
slipping. Valarie's tone was neutral,
almost sincere, as though she were genuinely offering helpful advice.

Jayden's gaze softened with sympathy as he watched Michelle's discomfort, and his dissatisfaction with Valarie
deepened.
The once-harmonious group now felt fractured-and it was all because of her.
Jayden turned to Brandon, expecting him to step in. Yet, Brandon remained indifferent, as though the situation
had nothing to do with him.
"Brandon, if Michelle can't stay, then neither can I. There's no point in us sitting here and enduring this," Jayden
said, rising to leave with Michelle.
Valarie, initially inclined to smooth
things over, decided she'd had enough. If they weren't going to respect her position as Brandon's girlfriend, why
should she bother?
She glanced at Jayden. "Mr. Gilmour, is Ms. Snowden your girlfriend? You seem awfully protective."
Jayden's face darkened. "Don't be ridiculous. We're just childhood friends."
Everyone knew Jayden was currently pursuing a university student.
Valarie nodded, her voice calm. "Oh, |
