A somber mood overtook the peace in the martial arts hall as Calix narrated his tale. Neither Andrian nor Vernon imagined Xander's involvement in this issue was due to the Li family's instigations.
Grabbing one of the mineral water bottles, Calix uncapped one for himself. His throat felt parched after sparring for so long.
"I've checked who spread the rumors. It's Gladys Li, Geoffrey's daughter. Her clique talked about... Leslie's pregnancy."
Andrian frowned, dissatisfied with what he had just heard, "That Gladys girl always bullied Leslie before, didn't she? She still did that?"
Calix nodded while gulping down the water. Pausing from drinking, he said, "Remember I stayed the night at the Li family's home? She came to my bedroom to seduce me."
"What?"
"That really happened?"
"Yeah."
I'll return to 2 chapter updates tomorrow :')
