Chapter 1296

“Let’s ditch it, Brother. I really don’t want to go.”

Caitlyn shook her head, wanting to refuse.

“Be good.”

Sean uttered two words softly.

“Alright…”

Caitlyn sent Sean the address without saying more.

Joules Town, Swiss Hotel.

The hotel was better than the one Ray and Sean went to yesterday.

The magnificent decoration made Caitlyn walk cautiously.

The floor that could reflect one’s figure made any cash–strapped person feel deeply inferior.

“It’s okay. I’ve got you.”

Sean saw Caitlyn’s embarrassment and said with a smile.

That sentence alone made Caitlyn feel at ease.

The two went to a private room by referring to the private room number given by Caitlyn’s friend. There were already a dozen young men and women in the private room.

“Ah, here comes Catie. Hurry over and have a seat!”

“It’s so hard to get you here. Come over!”

“Catie, if you ask me, don’t work too hard. We can help you raise money for your orphanage later.”

The crowd of men and women rose to welcome Caitlyn when they saw her.

Although Caitlyn was poor, she was quite popular at school.

Besides that, Caitlyn’s appearance made her popular among men. No one would treat her badly.

Therefore, dozens of young men and women called out to Caitlyn enthusiastically. They had no intention of looking down on her.

“Sorry, I’m late.”

Caitlyn smiled and nodded before walking into the private room with Sean.

“Oh, Catie. Who’s this?”

“No way, Catie. Do you have a boy…”

Several of Caitlyn’s best friends looked shocked when they saw Sean.

They did not expect someone like Caitlyn, who was so focused on the orphanage, to have time to find a boyfriend.

“Don’t get the wrong idea. He’s my…”

Caitlyn blushed and was about to say that Sean was her brother.

However, Caitlyn’s expression soon changed as she swallowed the rest of her speech.

It was because she saw the last person she wanted to see.

The young man sitting at the main seat, Wes Jordan, was from a wealthy family.

Besides that, Caitlyn pursued Caitlyn during school, even going to the entrance of the orphanage several times and frightening many of the children.

Caitlyn had an instinctive fear of Wes.

Sure enough, Wes was frowning and looking at Sean darkly.

Caitlyn froze for a moment, not knowing what to say.

Sean slowly turned his head and followed Caitlyn’s gaze. He locked eyes with Wes for two seconds and immediately saw what was wrong.

“Hello, I’m Catie’s friend.”

Sean smiled and ambled up to greet the crowd.

“Ah, okay, okay. Well…”

The crowd came to themselves and then nodded.

However, no one dared ask Sean to stay.

After all, Wes was treating them to a meal today. They dared not keep Sean around.

Everyone knew Wes liked Caitlyn. Besides that, he pursued her intensely before.

The presence of a love rival like Sean was likely to upset Wes!

“Well, I remembered I have something to handle suddenly. We gotta go.

Caitlyn turned around and took Sean’s hand to escape the private room.

“It’s fine. Let’s just have a seat since we’re already here.

“I can afford another person.”

Wes said indifferently, gesturing for Sean to sit down.

“Alright.”

Sean nodded and sat down.

He had no hard feelings toward Wes.

It was good that someone was pursuing Caitlyn. As her brother, Sean hoped that Caitlyn would soon find her happiness.

However, since Sean ran into Wes, he could help Caitlyn check Wes out.

If Wes was decent, he would be supportive.

Otherwise, Sean would not give him any chance to contact Caitlyn.

Sean and Caitlyn sat down.

They said nothing, but everyone thought Sean was Caitlyn’s boyfriend.

The atmosphere was awkward for a moment.

Wes put his hands on the table and sized Sean up.

Sean did not wear anything designer. None of the three main accessories men wore–belt, shoes, and watch were presentable.

Wes had met many rich heirs. He thought he had a sharp eye for noticing the other party’s family situation at a glance.

“Catie, you should find someone good who can help you.

“He… What do you do, bro?”

Wes asked Sean after showing disdain for Caitlyn’s taste.

“I currently don’t have a job.”

Sean replied quietly, shaking his head slightly.

“Haha…”

Wes‘ disdain grew greater when he heard Sean’s response.

The others were afraid to say more as they watched the love rivals‘ confrontation.

They wanted Caitlyn to be with Wes.

After ail, Wes‘ family had fortunes worth millions of dollars. How could Sean compare to him?

“Brother Sean just got discharged from the army and hasn’t looked for a job yet.”

Caitlyn might not have an overbearing personality, but she could not stand people criticizing Sean.

“Hmm? Catie, is he the Brother Sean you spoke of?”

Caitlyn’s best friend sitting next to her reacted immediately.

The others froze slightly before sizing up Sean again.

They were all good friends of Caitlyn.

They had heard a lot about Sean from Caitlyn.

Therefore, they also knew that Sean had joined the army to defend the country.

Besides that, they also knew Caitlyn and Sean were childhood friends.

“Yeah…”

Caitlyn blushed slightly and nodded.

“Wow, a soldier!”

Seeing Caitlyn’s nod, several girls changed their attitude toward Sean.

Even their eyes contained admiration.

“I also have friends who joined the army. This age should be the most promising time in the army, right?

“What happened to you? Why did you come back now?”

Wes looked at Sean and asked in a hostile tone.

He was not going to let Sean steal his thunder.

“Ahem, could he be an army deserter?”

A male student nearby immediately asked cooperatively.

Sean frowned slightly. The word deserter was the greatest disgrace to a soldier.
