"After all, who wouldn't want to see their scummy ex get the karma he deserved for hurting you badly? I would be the first one willing to see you in ruin, Vernon Phoenix Gray."
Vernon sensed that Shailene's hostility was deeply rooted, something he didn't understand.
Of course, he had many enemies in this world. He was a reckless scum when he was in high school and college. He was also a rising businessman who didn't even think twice about tackling the other businessmen away as long as he got what he wanted.
Thus, he made a lot of enemies, but he also proved himself to be a very tough entrepreneur.
But he still didn't understand why Shailene hated him that much. They dated and broke up in university, but that was years ago! Shouldn't she already forgive him at this point?
