Chapter 239 Roxy Joins
Roxy was over the moon when she realized these four girls were all drop-dead gorgeous.
She'd never seen such beautiful girls at the music academy before.
"You're Roxy, the cheerleading captain from Seattle Music Academy, right? The one Charles just saved?" Lori asked, giving Roxy a once-over and noting how pretty she was too.
"Yeah, that's me. I'm really grateful to Charles for helping me out. I still don't know how to thank him. He got into all sorts of trouble because of me, and I feel pretty bad about it," Roxy admitted, feeling a bit guilty and embarrassed.
Even though she didn't have any romantic feelings for Charles, he was definitely talented and had saved her life, so she owed him a thank you.
"Roxy, have you ever streamed on Dragon Tooth Live?" Jessica suddenly asked, her mood taking a nosedive.
She recognized Roxy and remembered that Charles had given her gifts.
Recently, Mr. Smoke had showered a small streamer on Dragon Tooth Live with gifts, which had caught a lot of attention.
The buzz died down quickly, but Jessica hadn't forgotten.
Because Mr. Smoke was actually Charles. He'd given gifts to Roxy, Mia, and a few other female streamers.
Maybe Charles had a lot of money and could give gifts to whoever he wanted, but Jessica still felt a bit jealous.
Hearing Jessica's question, Roxy explained, "Yeah, I used to stream on Dragon Tooth Live, but not very often. Maybe once every few days."
"You're the streamer Mr. Smoke gave a ton of gifts to, right?"
"How do you know that? Have you been following me?" Roxy asked, surprised.
Even though the whole thing had gotten a lot of attention, people were probably more focused on the super-rich Mr. Smoke than on a small streamer like her.
"You might not know, but the Mr. Smoke who gave you all those gifts is actually Charles!"
Roxy was completely stunned, standing there in shock for a good ten seconds.
She had sent a private message to Mr. Smoke to thank him, but he never responded.
This super-rich guy had given her so many gifts but didn't seem interested in her at all.
This was totally different from the rich guys she had met before.
"Are you saying that the Charles who just saved my life is Mr. Smoke?" Roxy asked, feeling utterly shocked.
"Yep, Charles is Mr. Smoke!" Alice chimed in, nodding along.
With all the girls confirming it, Roxy felt even guiltier. She realized she owed Charles a lot without even knowing it.
She couldn't help but think, 'Isn't this just wild? Did Charles join the track and field competition today just to impress me? Has he been secretly watching me, doing all this stuff for me, trying to win me over? But, I don't even like guys! No matter how much he does, I can only be grateful, but I can't fall in love with him!'
"He's got like fifty billion dollars, so of course, he's generous. But that doesn't change the fact that he's a player, dating a bunch of girls at the same time. He deserves whatever comes in his way. Roxy, why don't you join our alliance? You're a victim too, deceived by Charles. We should make him pay and go bankrupt. If you join us, you won't be alone. The more of us there are, the stronger we'll be, right?" Lori tried to persuade her, but Roxy was confused.
How was she a victim? Charles had given her gifts worth a hundred million dollars and saved her life. He never even hinted at wanting to pursue her. They didn't have any kind of romantic relationship. How was she deceived? What did this have to do with her?
Roxy thought Lori's idea was a bit off and kind of dangerous.
"An alliance? You mean a group specifically to deal with Charles?" Roxy asked.
"Exactly!"
"Alright, I'll join!" Roxy said with a slight smile. Even though the alliance sounded a bit weird, joining it would let her get to know these beautiful girls better.
She had no intention of taking Charles' money. She just thought that by hanging out with them, she could show them that men were jerks and that true love could only be found between women.
Since Charles had hurt their feelings, maybe she could date these girls. Back then, Amy was also hurt by a jerk. It took her months of comforting to make her like girls!
She believed these beauties had a chance too!
Roxy thought to herself, 'Charles, I'm sorry, I don't mean to steal your girlfriends, but I like these beautiful girls too, and I have the right to pursue love! Why can you guys chase after beautiful girls, but I can't?'
