Love's Bitter Edge (Eva and Leonard) novel Chapter 231

Chapter 231 I Don’t Owe You 

Amelia led me to a bench in the small garden outside the hospital. She sat down first and then patted the spot next to her. Sit down.” 

I settled as far on the edge of the bench as possible, avoiding being too close to her. She turned to look at me, a strange expression on her face

You are annoying, Eva. Even in that wig, you still manage to look good.” 

Her random remark caught me off guard, leaving me unsure of how to respond. But it seemed like she didn’t need me to say anything. She tilted her head back, gazing up at the sk 

The day we moved into college was just like thiscloudy but nice, comfortable weather,she began, her voice soft with nostalgia

Eva, I was the first person in the whole school to meet Leonard. The very first. No one else 

met him before me.” 

Her voice held a touch of joy, and her eyes sparkled at the memory. I had always known Amelia kept to herself during college, and I didn’t know much about her past

I only knew her family struggled financially, and she’d taken out student loans and worked hard for scholarships. She signed up for workstudy on the very first day

What I didn’t know was that she and Leonard had taken the same train to campus. Leonard probably didn’t even remember helping a girl with too many bags at the station that day, but to Amelia, that moment was the beginning of everything

We were so alike,she continued, her tone darkening. Both of us came from the same 

family background, working at the cafeteria and tutoring to make ends meet

He was always so positive, so charming, even when life was tough. And then you showed up and ruined everything.” 

I said nothing. She was right about one thing: I had noticed Leonard immediately

I told my Dad to offer to help support him financially, just like how my Dad had done for Amelia, although she had no idea

She was in the same dorm as me, so naturally, I pulled some strings for her

But to her, my dad’s help had never been kind. It was an insult

In our dorm room, you’d flaunt those ridiculous skincare products, each one costing more than my entire monthly budget. Do you even know what it was like? My allowance was 300 dollars a month, Eva!” 

You bought snacks every day, ordered takeout that cost insane amounts, then said you don’t want it and tossed it to me like you’re feeding a dog. You really think I’m just a dog to you!” 

Chap 231 Dont Owe You 

Amelia’s face was twisted with anger, her voice shaking. And then, you had your dad swoop in, funding Leonard to take him away from me. You knew what you were doing. You wanted to leave me with nothing

You wanted to see me lose it, see me abandoned by everyone. But too bad for youI studied hard and managed to get sponsors. I didn’t have to repay student loans, and I didn’t have to worry about living expenses anymore. There was no need to keep eating your leftovers!” 

As I looked at her twisted expression, I could only shake my head helplessly

Amelia, do you even know who funded your scholarship? That jewelry design studioyou think backed you? That was my grandmother’s business

I knew you were full of pride, which was why I didn’t have my dad directly sponsor you

Back then, the Green family provided scholarships every year to earn our reputation. We supported underprivileged students
