Finding Out The Billionaire

Chapter 12 What Are You Doing Here

Walt’s resentment intensified on the spot as he recalled how Heather had chosen to marry a pathetic loser instead of him.

A sneer appeared on his lips, but it disappeared almost instantly.

He reached up and rearranged his bowtie. A confident smile flitted across his lips as he walked towards Heather.

“Heather, I’m happy that you’re here,” Walt exclaimed in delight upon reaching Heather’s side.

Heather glanced around at her college friends, but she couldn’t bring herself to feel happy.

“I will keep my word. I hope that you’ll keep yours, too,” Heather responded calmly.

“Heather, why won’t you trust me? I came up with that request because I’d wanted you to know about my feelings for you. Why would I make things difficult for you when all you’d wanted was to borrow some money?” Walt explained as he held his arm up.

Heather hesitated shortly before she took his hand.

Under the crowd’s watchful gaze, both of them walked past the red carpet.

Everyone started clapping for them, but Heather’s face had paled visibly.

She could sense the mocking stares of her college friends.

She didn’t know if Walt did it on purpose or if he had no idea about it, but all she felt was utter humiliation.

“Heather, you must be really happy. Back then, you and Walt were a match made in heaven. You should’ve married him ages ago!” One friend uttered, seemingly enviously.

Walt pretended to be upset and declared, “Hannah, what are you saying? It’s not too late for Heather to marry me now, right?”
