Chapter 778
Though Vicki’s words were gentle, they hit Eddie like a bomb.
He stared at Vicki in shock, murmuring, “Y–You don’t look down on me?”
Vicki shook her head again.
Eddie looked at her, his eyes lighting up with surprise and joy.
But the next second, Eddie’s smile froze on his face.
Vicki held her cup and took a slow sip of water. When she noticed the change in Eddie’s expression, she didn’t quite understand what was going on.
Eddie stared at her and asked, “Vicki, did Camilla not tell you the whole story?”
He was such a mess back then. How could Vicki not think less of him?
Camilla must have wanted to save his dignity and didn’t tell Vicki about all the crazy things he did in the past.
“Hmm?” Vicki looked even more confused.
Eddie gave a smile tinged with sadness, then sat down across from Vicki, ready to open up about himself.
“I used to be a beast,” he said.
Vicki stared at him in shock, her fingers tightening around her cup.
Eddie didn’t look at her. He just stared at the floor, his voice low. “Ever since I came of age, I started dating. But I wasn’t like most people.
“If I liked someone, I’d make a move on them. And if someone liked me, I never turned anyone down.
“So yeah, I had a bunch of girlfriends at the same time. Honestly, I lost count of how many there were.”
Vicki looked at him, her face frozen in shock.
‘So that’s how it was? Unbelievable…‘ she thought.
She always thought that when Camilla said Eddie had a colorful love life, it just meant he switched girlfriends like changing shirts. But the truth was, he was actually playing the field with a bunch of girls at the same time.
A scumbag, indeed.
Eddie looked up and caught the stunned look on Vicki’s face. Apparently, she hadn’t known any of this before.
‘No wonder she said she didn’t look down on me,‘ he thought.
When Eddie looked at her, Vicki couldn’t help but blurt out, “Then why aren’t you like that anymore?”
Eddie lowered his gaze again.
He just couldn’t bring himself to meet Vicki’s gaze.
Her eyes were so clear and pure that, to someone as tainted as him, even looking at her felt like a kind of blasphemy.

Eddie said, “This went on for years, until my sister, Camilla, returned to my family. Because of some bad blood between us, she decided to
teach me a lesson.
“She reached out to all my girlfriends at once. When they found out I was playing them, they beat me up. Someone recorded the whole thin and put it online. I got cyberbullied hard…”
He paused for a moment, then added, “After that, I changed my ways. I’ve been single ever since.”
Vicki just stared blankly at Eddie. After a long while, she still had no idea what to say.
Eddie looked up at her, a bitter smile spreading across his lips. “Vicki, someone like me… Do I even deserve to face you?”
Vicki opened her mouth, but in the end, she didn’t say anything.
She just didn’t know what to say.
Her mind was all over the place.
Eddie’s confession really shook her understanding of him.
