The Moment I Stepped Into His World as the Fake Girlfriend, I Became the Real Prize novel Chapter 45

"Sterling even gets jealous over her adding a classmate. His possessiveness is off the charts!"

Watching the scene from a distance, Lorelei let out an amazed sigh.

If she hadn't been sitting so close to the front during the lecture, she would have spent the entire hour staring backward to witness Sterling and his girlfriend's public display of affection.

Sasha had also been constantly looking back, growing increasingly furious with every passing minute.

"It's nothing special. Sterling didn't even ask for her opinion before forcing someone to delete her. He obviously doesn't care about her feelings at all!"

She muttered bitterly before turning to the girl beside her. "Lydia, I know I'm right about this. Sterling is just enjoying the novelty. He has no real feelings for her!"

"There are so many little differences in how he treats her compared to you. Once he gets bored of her in a few days, he'll definitely come crawling back to you. Just wait, he'll have to beg for your forgiveness!"

It was true that whenever Lydia added a guy on social media, Sterling would get upset.

However, he had never once demanded she delete them. He always swallowed his jealousy and respected her social circle.

Lydia didn't agree or disagree. She simply packed up her notes and slowly stood up. "Sasha, stop paying attention to them. Let's just go grab some food."

From the start of class until now, she hadn't looked back a single time, acting as if she were a total outsider to the drama.

Watching Lydia walk out of the classroom, Elena pulled Sterling to his feet. "Babe, I'm hungry. Let's go get something to eat."

Sterling didn't say a word. He coldly crushed the empty water bottle and tossed it into the trash can behind them.

Then, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, he let the girl drag him out of the room.

Lorelei was practically buzzing with excitement as she packed her bag and hurried after them.

Leon was about to follow, but Jasper casually blocked his path. "They're just putting on a show to make the school belle jealous. We don't need to tag along. Let's just wait for the results."

Liam, however, looked a bit skeptical, glancing at the guy who had sold Elena the water. "Is he really just acting?"

"Of course he's acting. You really think he'd catch actual feelings for a club hostess?"

Catching his implication, Leon scoffed.

Liam also thought it was highly unlikely, so he didn't press the issue.

Only Jasper just smiled, keeping his thoughts to himself.

They walked out of the building and headed down the path toward the cafeteria.

But then, Sterling suddenly spoke up, his question carrying an unreadable undertone.

Elena paused, offering a half-truth as she shook her head. "No, I just started."

That explained it.

Sterling understood now. Though he rarely interacted with hostesses, running in his social circles meant he had seen his fair share of kept women.

Those women knew exactly where they stood and always acted submissive and obedient in front of the men paying their bills.

Unlike Elena, who seemed to take sheer delight in driving him crazy.

And...

Paying her a few thousand dollars a day might not have been a small amount, but it definitely wasn't an exorbitant fortune in his world!

With her stunning looks, she could easily find a powerful man to fund her lifestyle. If she got lucky, pulling in millions of dollars a month wasn't out of the realm of possibility.

But over time, that kind of money would inevitably breed greed.

And when kept women got too greedy, things never ended well for them.
