Too Late to Hold Me Back novel Chapter 650

"Did Wyatt find out about the fight yesterday?" Leah whispered to Elara.

She nudged her friend.

"Who do you think snitched on her?"

"Who else? Her worst enemy," Elara replied without even looking away from the drama.

She kept her eyes glued to the scene.

"It had to be Jillian from your dorm. Nobody else had a motive."

"I didn't do it!" Piper suddenly shrieked. "That bitch Jillian is framing me! I never went after another guy!"

"Oh, you didn't?" Wyatt laughed coldly. "Then why were you brawling in your dorm room yesterday?

"I have a video of the entire fight, complete with every single word you screamed at each other."

Wyatt glared at Piper with absolute disgust.

"I'm sorry," Piper finally whispered, her head dropping in defeat.

She couldn't deny it any longer.

Wyatt had deliberately chosen the lunch rush, when the cafeteria was packed, to publicly expose her cheating. Faced with hard evidence, Piper had no choice but to confess.

"That is so messed up. She wanted to lock down a richer guy while keeping her current boyfriend on the hook?" a bystander muttered loudly.

"She probably just wanted a safety net in case things didn't work out with the new guy."

"She had a perfectly good boyfriend, and she threw it all away just to mess around?"

...

The vicious whispers tore through the crowd, making Piper feel like an animal on display at the zoo.

Her face was burning with humiliation. She wanted nothing more than for the floor to open up and swallow her whole.

She just wanted to end this nightmare and run away as fast as she could.

But Wyatt wasn't finished with her yet.

"Since you admit you're in the wrong, you can go ahead and pay back the fifty thousand dollars you blew through on my dime," he demanded.

Piper froze. "Pay you back?"

She had definitely spent his money, but they were dating! Wasn't it totally normal for a guy to spoil his girlfriend? What kind of man demanded all his money back after a breakup?

"What? Are you trying to weasel your way out of it?" Wyatt pressed relentlessly.

He refused to let her off the hook.

He came from money. Fifty thousand dollars was nothing to him.

After the chaotic events of the past two days, she knew her chances with that wealthy junior were completely ruined.

Wyatt came from a great family and he treated her incredibly well. It would be impossible to find another guy like him on such short notice.

"Get back together?" Wyatt sneered in disgust. "Not a chance in hell. A girl like you can go sleep with whoever you want, because I am never touching you again.

"Now give me my money!"

He shoved his hand out aggressively, palm up.

Whether or not he actually got the money back didn't matter to Wyatt in the slightest.

He just wanted to use the massive debt to publicly humiliate Piper and utterly destroy her reputation on campus.

Mira never stuck around to see if Piper actually paid him back. Their afternoon classes were about to start, and she and her friends needed to go claim their seats.

But she later heard from Harvey that Piper had desperately sought Wyatt out several times to beg for another chance, only to be brutally rejected each time.

It was during one of those casual chats with Harvey that Mira finally got the full backstory.

When Wyatt and Piper had first started dating, Wyatt had actually been the one to pursue her.

Apparently, during the Leadership & Discipline Orientation, Piper had accidentally spilled her water, and Wyatt had kindly offered her his spare bottle. The next day, Piper had purposefully brought an extra sports drink to return the favor.

That small exchange had sparked a connection. Before long, Wyatt had found himself completely captivated by Piper's seemingly sweet, gentle, and utterly delicate southern charm...
