Back then, one of Trey’s close friends had been invited to dinner by Angela and her friends. During the conversation, almost every topic somehow revolved around Trey.

By the end of the evening, everyone came to the same conclusion: Angela was likely trying to pursue Trey. They had been nothing more than living questionnaires.

The two of them never went further, and no one ever heard news of them being together. Later, when Trey started dating Khloe, Angela became the unchallenged class adviser, and the whole affair faded into a whispered secret.

At that moment, Trey wasn’t listening to the man. He had no desire to talk; dejected, he took a few slow steps, intent on going back to rest.

Just then, another classmate’s wife murmured softly behind him, “Why should a woman bear all the consequences for a man’s mistake? If he hadn’t responded to Angela’s advances, none of this would have happened.”

Immediately, her husband snapped at her to be quiet.

“Come on, it’s different when the other person is intentionally playing you,” a man retorted with a faint scoff, clearly unconvinced.

“Huh? Playing me?” Trey froze mid-step and spun around to stare at him. “Are you saying Angela… set me up?”

The man hesitated, then gave a slow nod. “Yeah. Back then, she was constantly digging for information about you. You think she needed to go to all that trouble? If she really just wanted to know something, she could’ve asked you straight up. All that sneaking around, prying into your life… it was to manipulate you, to make you fall for her.”

His words resonated among the men, immediately earning nods and murmurs of agreement.

Trey’s gaze stayed fixed, icy and sharp. “What exactly did she pry into?” he asked.

“I can’t remember everything…” the man replied.

“Was it about someone I was looking for?” Trey’s entire body went cold. He clenched his teeth, eyes reddening.

Everyone around sensed the shift and fell silent. Even Alicia stiffened, her eyes flicking nervously as she held her breath.

“Oh! Right!” the man said, straining to recall. “Yes! You used to tell your friends about when you were a kid… in the mountains… and someone saved you, right?”

“She was obsessed with that story,” the man continued, “asking about every tiny detail. I heard she’s… perverse. She demanded the exact words people used when telling her about it. She wanted every detail about the person who saved you, down to the tiniest features. She kept asking and asking…”

Before he could finish, Trey swayed unsteadily.

Alicia’s hands shot out, steadying him. “Trey!”

Trey’s eyes went completely blank for a moment before he finally snapped back to reality. Blood pounded in his head, swelling like it would burst. With a sudden, violent motion, he pushed Alicia aside and yanked the man in front of him by the collar.

“What you’re saying… it’s true?” he demanded.
