Love's Bitter Edge (Eva and Leonard) novel Chapter 372

Chapter 372 Gambling Debt 

Jill had completely lost herself in love. Most of the things she said revolved around Caleb. However, I still found it strange 

As far as I could tell, Caleb wasn’t the type of man who would use his girlfriend’s money. Jill might’ve invested in his company, but there should’ve been an 100 at least. Alternatively, an agreement detailing her investment would work too

However, Caleb didn’t mention anything of the sort

Back when I was going through with the divorce, Caleb even had the presence of mind to tell me to hold tightly onto the shares. So, why did he become 

this careless now

Once I started suspecting Caleb, everything seemned off to me. I wasn’t able to sleep for the entire night after Jill left. I was even startled when Astrid dropped by to visit me the next day

What’s wrong with you, Eve? Haven’t you slept at all for the entire night? Are you feeling unwell? Do you need me to call the doctor over?” 

I waved repeatedly when I saw that she was nervous. I’m fine. I just couldn’t sleep. This is all normal. It happens occasionally.” 

1 had relapsed three times. Naturally, I had authority on the subject. Astrid would believe me even if I made stuff up 

When we were shooting the breeze, both of us talked about Jill’s latest relationship Astrid pursed her lips. She has forgotten about her friends now that she has a boyfriend. We promised each other we’d hunt for good food

You can’t be discharged from the hospital now, and fill is busy with her love life and the studio every day. Damn it!” 

Did Caleb run a game company back in college? Jill said he was quite famous on campus back then,I asked casually

Astrid frowned and pondered on it. Probably not. I’m not too sure, though. It’s not like I was in the same course with him. With that said, he wasn’t xactly a popular figure. There were too many distinguished figures on our campus, and Caleb didn’t have what it took to stand out.” 

I thought about how I also doubted Caleb when he had just returned. He said he was the university representative in a debate competition, and he did arrange for me to enroll in the university, but I came to learn that one could earn oneself such a spot if a big enough donation was made

Naturally, I was the one who footed the bill for the donation to the university, which helped build a library on campus. I didn’t think I saw Caleb on the wall of fame for the best competitive debaters

Once I started having doubts, the suspicion kept growing and growing

wing. Didn’t you used to know Caleb? He’s one of the Harmons.” 

I thought the McLennon family and the Harmon family were both a part of high society. At the very least, both of the families should’ve had some sort of interaction 

Astrid shook her head repeatedly. I didn’t know him before this. He didn’t attend classes that often. I might’ve seen him once during a debate. I don’t think he participated much in university activities

As you know, only a handful of exchange students would diligently attend classes, and I was one of the few. After all, Jack is counting on me to help him out once I return to Pycosia,” 

I felt even more discouraged when I heard what Astrid said. We proceeded to chat a little more before I pretended to read some news o I raised it and showed it to her

Look over here. The news says that a lot of students have gambling debts. Is this for real?” 

I’ve been here for a long time, but this is the first time I’ve heard something like this.Astrid swept her eyes across the news

on my phone. Then
