Chapter 22 

Nova couldn’t wait to leave this mess behind, but Caleb, who hadn’t interacted with her at all lately, suddenly spoke up, his tone mocking. “Nova, your taste is really going downhill. Did 

you pick him out just to be my replacement?” 

Listening to Caleb’s arrogant declaration, Nova almost laughed out of sheer annoyance. “Caleb, you give yourself way too much credit.” 

Caleb let out a cold scoff. “Before, you were always chasing after me, and now that you have a new toy, you’re using my full name. You flip-flop fast. But that’s fine, I was never going to like you anyway. Have fun playing your little romance games with this cheap knockoff.” 

With that, Caleb grabbed Sylvie’s hand, ready to leave. From the other side of the pool, Nova suddenly shouted, “Stop right there!” 

The command was loud and clear. Caleb turned around, staring at her with a icy smirk. “What? Are you going to explain that he isn’t your new toy, or try to convince me you two aren’t dating?” 

Over the past few days, Caleb had noticed everything. Nova and Alaric were together every second they had free. If Nova hadn’t turned Alaric into his stand-in, why else would she suddenly be getting so close to him? 

“I want you to apologize to Alaric. And while you’re at it, please drop the narcissism. Don’t think just because you’re the popular guy on campus, everyone has to revolve around you. Since I already broke off our engagement, it means I have absolutely no interest in you. I hope you can get that through your head.” 

Nova’s blunt words left the surrounding students staring at each other in shock. 

“Engagement? What engagement?” 

“Nova and Caleb were engaged? No way, that’s Caleb Langdon!” 

“She has to be bluffing. With Nova’s background, how could she possibly be engaged to him?” 

Hearing that Nova and Caleb shared an engagement, Sylvie looked at him nervously. “Caleb, you and Nova were engaged?” 

When they first enrolled, there were rumors about a destitute scholarship student in their grade. Because of Nova’s quiet and withdrawn nature, no one knew her real background. Seeing that she never carried designer bags or got dropped off in luxury cars, everyone naturally assumed she was that impoverished student. 

No one ever expected that Nova would be engaged to Caleb Langdon.

13:18 

After all, back when they were freshmen, The Langdon Corporation was at the peak of its power, and Caleb was known as one of the elite heirs of Lindenwood. 

No one would have ever associated a chubby girl like Nova with him. 

Listening to the whispers around him and facing Sylvie’s questioning gaze, Caleb felt utterly flustered. 

He had always despised Nova’s attempts to pursue him, and all his friends knew he hated her. But now, she had publicly outed the fact that they had actually been engaged this whole 

time. 

In that moment, his teenage pride felt completely trampled. 

How could a guy like Caleb ever be tied down to a heavy girl like Nova? 

Caleb snapped, “Nova, shut your mouth!” 

“Oh, right, do you want me to tell everyone how you chased after me the night I broke it off, begging me to change my mind?” 

At her words, the way the female students looked at Caleb shifted instantly. 

“Nova!” 

Caleb couldn’t believe she dared to spread such lies. 

Nova had no intention of sticking around to explain. She grabbed Alaric’s arm, ready to walk 

away. 

Just then, a student came rushing into the pool area, screaming in a panic. “This is bad! Something happened!” 

This is bad. Something happened.
