Lara Jean was stunned, her face was full of disbelief. How could it be possible?
Yvette Jordan had only been kinder to Chuck Cannon recently. It had only been a few days. How could she have become his wife?
How could it be so fast?
"What did you say?! Teacher Jordan is your wife? ...You! Chuck, are you sick? Or do you take me for a toddler? Do you think she'll become your wife once you start dating her?" Lara shook her head in disapproval.
She still had the second half of the sentence in her mind:
"You think you're the big deal because you're rich. Teacher Jordan isn't a gold digger. You only managed to date her because you have a lot of tricks up your sleeve and you tricked her."
Chuck frowned. How could Lara not believe that Yvette was his wife?
"If you let Teacher Jordan know that you're messing with her, do you still think she will still be your wife? Putting aside being your wife or your girlfriend, she won't even want to be your teacher anymore."
"I didn't mess around with her. She's really my wife," Chuck said. Why wasn't Lara believing him?
"Okay, where's your marriage certificate! If you show me your marriage certificate, I'll believe you then!" Lara stretched out her hand.
Chuck was speechless. He and Yvette did not have a marriage certificate. Ever since they were children, they had been sleeping together till now. Moreover, he was still underage. It was impossible for him to have a marriage certificate.
Seeing Chuck silent, Lara was delighted. He's really a big fat liar, she thought to herself.
"You don't, right? You're a liar!" Lara was furious as she thought of Chuck being the rich man who cheated her of her nude photos.
"You have to know there's no need for us to have a marriage certificate," Chuck explained. The two of them had been sleeping together for so long. Was she not considered his wife then?
"Do you mean there's none?"
Lara snorted, "You're used to lying to others, aren't you? Are you gonna lie to me again? No marriage certificate yet you're still calling her as your wife. All rich men like to act like this, right? Call Teacher Jordan your wife for all you like and she'll certainly ignore you."
"Suit yourself." Chuck did not want to talk to her anymore.
He had no point telling her anymore if she didn't believe him. Would he have to drag Yvette here with her for Lara to believe them? There was no need for that. It would be too embarrassing for her to do so.
"Admit it, you're a liar! You've just hooked up with Teacher Jordan and now you're saying she's your wife. Do you know how many people have been chasing after her?" Lara sneered.
Chuck did not want to talk to her. Despite having many admirers, Yvette never accepted their confession. That was enough to prove that she did not like those people.
In addition, she was hardworking and would prefer to spend her own money.
"If Teacher Jordan finds out you're a liar, she'll surely break up with you. Don't even bother thinking of her as your wife!" Lara huffed.
She had already muttered in her heart,
"When she gets angry with you, you'll be in trouble. How dare you mess with the teacher?!"
Chuck frowned.
Lara wanted to leave.
"Stop!" Chuck glared at her.
Lara shook for a moment. She bit her lip and turned around. "What is it? Am I right? Obviously, you two are just a couple. Why do you call her your wife?"
"I warn you, don't tell anyone that Yvette is my wife."
"I've told you that Teacher Jordan is not your wife. Don't you feel ashamed of yourself? Even if you hook up with her, when she knows that you've been playing with her, she'll..." Lara's face immediately panicked before she could finish her words because Chuck took out his phone and opened their chat history. She saw her own photo on his phone.
"Please continue," Chuck looked at her threateningly.
"I, I won't say it, I won't," Lara shook her head in a hurry. She wouldn't know what to do if Chuck decided to show everyone the explicit photo of hers.
Furthermore, she felt extreme shame just standing in front of him now. After all, he was showing her own nude photos. It felt as though she was wearing nothing in front of him now.
Thinking of this, Lara was enraged.
"As long as someone knows what happened between us today, I'll send your photos to everyone." Chuck smiled. She was a piece of cake.
"No, I won't." Lara was so terrified that her face turned pale.
Chuck did not want to look at her anymore. He was ready to go back to the classroom, but Lara bit her lip and stammered, "Chuck, can you delete these photos? Please, I beg you."
Chuck was secretly delighted. Her voice was as refreshing as morning dew. As soon as she entered the classroom, Yvette's face immediately turned stern as she announced, "Let's start!"
Looking at the flawless Yvette teaching busily on the stage, Lara snorted secretly.
Teacher Jordan, what did Chuck do to you? Do you know, Chuck just said you were his wife, but I exposed him. How could you possibly be his wife?
As she thought so, she peeped at Chuck again, what a liar!
Teacher Jordan could never be your wife. Stop deluding yourself!
......
After class ended, Lara immediately went to the office to find Yvette when Chuck wasn't noticing.
Yvette was a little surprised. Was Lara coming to complain about Chuck?
"Teacher, what do you think of Chuck?" Lara asked out of the blue.
"He's fine. Why do you ask?" Yvette started to pack up. She was leaving early because there were no more classes for the day.
"Teacher, I'm telling you Chuck has a girlfriend."
Yvette frowned and asked, "Who told you that?"
"I saw it. I run a shop in the plaza and I saw Chuck together with Yolanda Lane, the campus beauty," Lara whispered.
Yvette stood up. Chuck told her that he was there to do a part-time job. How could he be with Yolanda?
"Teacher, I'm telling the truth. Chuck's a big liar and he likes to play around with women." Lara whispered. She did not know why she was doing this. She just did not want to see Chuck having a girlfriend.
"Stop talking nonsense." Yvette shook her head and tried to deny it.
"It's true, I saw them in the plaza. It's possible that the two of them were doing something in the office. Teacher, I really saw it." Lara said. It was true, right? Yolanda was Chuck's girlfriend in the very first place, so Chuck must have been playing around with her at some point. As for whether he was in the office or not, what difference did it make?
Lara was very proud when she saw Yvette fuming with rage. Chuck, you really are a big liar!
