I Let My Eighteen Year Old Self Cancel Our Engagement Chapter 05

Owen stared at the letter for a long time without moving.

Zoey’s face turned pale, but she forced her voice into a sweet whine. “Owen, Willow is just angry right now. Whatever she left behind can’t be anything good. Maybe you should wait unti! you both calm down and look at it privately.”

A petite girl suddenly poked her head out from behind Brandon. She let out a laugh. “What’s there to be scared of? Since Willow said it’s a graduation gift. Everyone’s here today. We might as well

witness it together.”

Tyler was also staring at the envelope, his eyes complicated. “Owen, open it. I want to know what

Willow said, too.”

Owen grew irritated under their urging and reached out to tear open the envelope.

There was no long speech inside, only a flash drive and a few lines.

[You always said I didn’t understand you, that we had nothing to talk about. Then today, let everyone see it together. Let’s see exactly what kind of person does understand you.]

Owen’s face changed. His first reaction was to clutch the flash drive tightly in his palm.

But the girl behind Brandon had already reached out and snatched it away. “You already opened it. Didn’t Willow leave a message saying everyone should watch it together?”

Zoey shot to her feet. “Eloise Marsh! Don’t go too far!”

Her voice was so sharp that everyone looked at her.

Brandon frowned, too. “Why are you snapping at my girlfriend for no reason?”

Zoey quickly realized she had lost control and hurriedly smiled. “I mean, this is between Willow and Owen. It wouldn’t be right for us to look, would it?”

Eloise stared at her. “Then why are you so anxious?”

Zoey no longer had any standing to speak. The flash drive was opened.

The moment the screen lit up, everyone in the living room went silent.

The folder name was simple: [Zoey’s SoCalled Friends.]

Owen’s brow twitched hard.

All the color drained from Zoey’s face in an instant.

“Owen, Willow must have misunderstood me and made all this on purpose to slander me. She

already broke up with you today, and she still wants to make a scene like this. Isn’t she just trying to ruin you?”

Owen said nothing.

Eloise clicked open the first folder directly.

Inside were chat records between Zoey and Brandon.

[Brandon, Professor Morgan is pushing me about the literature review again, but I really have no idea where to start. You’re the best at literature reviews in the group. Help me, please.]

[Your girlfriend isn’t going to get mad again, is she? Why does she have to police normal academic communication?]

The next screenshot was Zoey venting to someone else.

[Brandon is so easy to fool. The more his girlfriend makes a scene, the more he thinks I’m the understanding one. One dinner for one literature review. Not a bad deal, hahaha.]

The living room went deathly quiet.

Brandon’s face slowly turned red. “Zoey, am I easy to fool?”

Zoey’s tears fell instantly. “No, Brandon. That was a joke! I really just admired you so much.”

Eloise stood off to the side with her arms crossed, watching coldly. “I was the one who gave the chat records to Willow. Don’t rush. Keep watching.”

Tyler, standing nearby, seemed to realize something. He pushed through the crowd and reached out to click open the second folder.

Sure enough, inside were voice messages Zoey had sent him, her voice so sweet it practically dripped.

“Tyler, my stomach really hurts today. Could you run my experiments for me?”

“Ugh, I just think your girlfriend is being a little sensitive. There’s nothing between us. She guards against me like I’m a thief. It’s honestly exhausting.”

“Forget it. I won’t ask you for help anymore. I don’t want to make things hard for

Then came a chat where Zoey vented to her best friend.

“Tyler is young. Guys like that fall for it with just a little flirting.”

you.”

“And his girlfriend is the funniest part. She guards against me every day. The more she does, the

more I want to mess with her.”

“These official girlfriends are so boring. Every one of them acts like someone’s mom.”

Tyler suddenly clenched his fists.

“So my fight with my girlfriend was something you planned on purpose?”

Zoey cried and shook her head. “No, I didn’t.”

Brandon sneered and dragged the mouse lower. “Just casual jokes? You casually joked about this many people?”
