I’m Someone Else

Who are you to tell someone else to shut up? Do you think you’re some godly figure everyone’s supposed to submit to? Or do
you think your gorgeous looks give you some special privilege? If it weren’t for the fact that Chloe might get embarrassed in front
of her classmate, I would’ve taught you a lesson when you told her to shut up! Thomas couldn’t help but curse.
Fanny glared at him before speaking in an icy tone, “Hmph! So what if I’m a virgin? So what if I’m not? Are you planning to spend
the rest of your life with a partner, or are you planning to spend it with your partner’s hymen instead?”
“Hah!” Thomas nodded. “Right back at you! Are you planning to spend the rest of your life with a man or a man’s money?” There
was a fiery tension in the room. He could tell from the moment Fanny walked into the restaurant that she was no longer a virgin.
Judging by the haughty look in her eyes, it was evident that she was a self-centered woman. On top of that, he felt especially
repulsed by Fanny when she told Chloe to shut up and when she interrogated him with a bunch of questions. Others may
choose to spoil and pamper you, but I won’t do the same!
“You—” Fanny was speechless in the face of Thomas’ argument, and she simply glared at him with a deathly look in her eyes.
“I’m looking for a virgin to spend the rest of my life with. If you’re not a virgin, all I can do is apologize to you,” the man uttered.
“You b*stard! Who do you think you are?” She was furious. Who does this country bumpkin think he is? What is he trying to say?
Is he rejecting me? How dare he! I’m the one who is supposed to reject him, not the other way around! Fanny cursed a few more
times before she got up to leave.
“Must you be so rude, Fanny?” Lilac was starting to get annoyed as well. Fanny is getting more and more ridiculous by the day!
I’ve never seen anyone ask about the other party’s properties on their first date. She’s so disrespectful toward Chloe, too. How
rude!
“I’ll be honest with you, Lilac. I wouldn’t have come if you hadn’t forced me over with your lame excuse of not wanting to
disappoint that pauper classmate of yours. I have another date later on, so see you.” Fanny’s chin was held high as she glanced
at Chloe. Hmph! Do you think we don’t know you well? Your father was a scavenger who fell ill and got hospitalized, whereas
your brother is a poor guy with no wealth or reputation in society who serves in the military. Your whole family is poor, and now,
you brought this nobody over to come on a date with someone as pretty as me. Do you think I’m dumb? That I’ll be so easily
fooled?
“You’re getting more and more ridiculous!” Lilac slammed her palm on the table as she stared at her sister. It was fine if Fanny
uttered these harsh words within the compounds of their own home, but Lilac couldn’t accept her bad behavior when it was

shown to the public. Furthermore, Fanny embarrassed herself in front of her classmate. It was as if Fanny didn’t care about
Lilac’s reputation at all!
“I’m sorry, Chloe. My sister is spoiled rotten at home.” Lilac gave Chloe a sincere apology. Their family owned a few small
businesses, and they weren’t too wealthy, but they were relatively well-to-do. Their family was doing much better than Chloe’s,
so Fanny grew up in an environment where there was no shortage of love and care. That was how she grew up to become such
a selfish and arrogant person.
“For the sake of your sister, I’ll let you off this one time, Fanny. I don’t want this to happen again. If you ever do this again, I’ll
make sure you regret your actions!” Thomas hissed. How dare she call Chloe a pauper? Chloe may not have the best family
background, but why does that matter? She has never committed any crimes or broken any laws, and she keeps herself fed and
safe. Who are you to look down on her?
“You sure are talking big, huh?” Fanny had a horrible temper. How dare this bumpkin threaten me? Where did he get his guts
from?
Thomas rolled his wrists as he spoke, “Well, you can test me if you don’t believe my words. We’ll see if I’m talking big.” He
decided he would beat her up if she made any more comments that offended Chloe. He didn’t care that she was a female—he
had no gender rules when it came to such fights. Fanny simply deserved a good beating.
Fanny parted her lips to say something upon hearing his words. However, Lilac interrupted their conversation just in time. “That’s
enough. I want you to go home now!” she growled.
“Pfft. Fine! Don’t you dare make me attend such matchmaking dates again! I have no interest in such guys!” Fanny yelled. She
was mad at her sister. I’m your sister here. Why are you supporting these outsiders instead of me? It’s fine if you’re not on my
side, but how dare you shout at me! I’m going to tell Mom and Dad once I get home!
“We’ll talk another day, Chloe. I have to follow that brat, as I don’t want her to run off somewhere else. I’m so sorry about today,”
Lilac said. Chloe nodded and watched as Lilac left the restaurant. Chloe wasn’t mad at Thomas—after all, she knew he only got
angry because he was protective of her. In fact, she had felt rather frustrated after hearing Fanny’s words as well.
“Thomas, Chloe... Are you guys okay?” Molly asked as she approached them. She had just finished up her work, so she visited
the restaurant to have a meal, but she happened to come in right when Fanny was shouting at everyone. Thomas waved his
hand to dismiss her concerns. “Everything’s fine. Come over and eat with us.” The dishes on the table were still untouched.

Molly greeted Chloe before sitting at their table. “Who was that woman earlier, Thomas? Why was she so mad?”
“You can forget about her. She was just some blind date.”
“A date?” Molly’s gaze seemed to turn dark and resentful as she stared at him then. Thomas was not sensitive to such details,
but Chloe was a woman and was a lot more attentive to these slight changes in expression. It seems like Molly is interested in
Thomas! What a coincidence!
“Hey, Molly. I didn’t get to thank you for speaking up when Thomas got into trouble previously. Here, let me give a toast to you
with this tea,” Chloe offered. She held her teacup up as she thought, Thomas and Molly are a match made in heaven! Thomas is
a charming man, and Molly is a gorgeous lady. Furthermore, they both work in the same office! I have to find ways to bring the
two of them together!
Throughout the meal, she attempted all sorts of ways to get Molly to interact with Thomas a little more. Molly could feel her
cheeks turning warm as she stole a few peeks in Thomas’ direction. After the meal, Chloe pulled Molly aside and got straight to
the point. “You have to work hard for this, Molly. I hope you become my sister-in-law soon!”
“What?! Oh... That’s nonsense...” Molly jogged off with her cheeks red after that. Chloe went over to Thomas. “Hey, Thomas.
Molly said that she was not feeling too well. Why don’t you go over and check on her?”
He was stunned to hear this. Is she sick? Wasn’t she fine just moments ago? “Well, come on. Let’s all head back together,” he
suggested.
“I’m not heading back. I have other matters to handle.” The truth was that Chloe didn’t want to be the third wheel between the
two. However, Thomas didn’t think much about this and eventually hurried off to match Molly’s pace. Chloe felt a twinge in her
chest as she watched the two people leave. It left a sour taste in her mouth to push her love interest into the arms of another
woman.
