Rosiley glanced at her and said, "Because it's obvious.”
“Alright,” Juliet pouted and said, "I did know him a long time ago, and he is ... the son of a friend of my father's."
"It shouldn't be that simple, right?" With only this kind of relationship, would she talk to him with such a bad attitude?
Juliet pursed her lips and looked at Payton. After pondering for a moment, she said, "He is my ex-boyfriend.”
"Ex-boyfriend?" Rosiley cried out in surprise. This could explain why Juliet's attitude was so bad.
Payton laughed out loud and said, "Holy shit, I guessed it.”
Juliet frowned and asked, "What did you guess?"
"I was just thinking that there must be emotional dispute between you. Otherwise, a woman wouldn't treat a man like this,”
Payton threw up his hands and said, "I didn't expect that I would guess it. I'm too smart.”
Juliet was stunned, and a trace of anger flashed in her eyes. She glowered at him and said, "Yes, you're smart. You're exceptionally smart!"
Payton rubbed his nose in confusion. He looked at Rosiley in puzzlement and said, "Rosiley, how did I provoke her?"
Rosiley smiled and asked, "When did you date Ethan? Why don't I know?"
Rosiley had known her for so many years, she almost knew every boyfriend she had, but Ethan was not one of them.
Was she with him during the three years abroad?
"He was my boyfriend when I was abroad.”
Juliet's answer confirmed Rosiley's guess.
"Then why did you break up?"
Ethan looked pretty good. He was also the type that Juliet would like. How could they break up? Moreover, Juliet seemed to have a great grudge against him now.
"We are not a good fit." Juliet gave a simple answer.
This answer contained too many unknown details, but it seemed that she didn't want to say much. So, Rosiley didn't ask any further. She just smiled and said jokingly, "Juliet, but he still intentionally went on a blind date with you. He must still have feelings for you."
Juliet spat and said with a disdainful expression, "Bullshit! He did this because of my family background."
Hearing this, Rosiley couldn't help but laugh, saying, "Juliet, you must have read too many novels or TV dramas. How could Ethan be such a snobbish person?"
A man like Ethan, who looked so gentle, didn't seem scheming at all.
"A person cannot be judged by appearance, understand?” Juliet snorted coldly.
"He is a professor specially hired by the National Academy of Medical Sciences from abroad, right?"
Payton suddenly said this.
"How do you know?" Juliet looked at him suspiciously and asked, “Have you investigated him?"
Payton did not answer her. Instead, he turned to Rosiley and said, "Rosiley, do you remember the Medical Research Center in the United States that Sachin told you about?"
Rosiley nodded and said, "I remember.’
"When I was investigating, Ethan's name was on the list of personals of the research center. I was also curious how there was
a Chinese name. So..."
