7:35 am Chapter 200 Chapter 209 Grayson Ever since I had gotten off the ground , I still couldn't leave the parking lot . I had even adjusted my seat sy Feould lean frok still massaging the side of my jaw that Anna's blow had targeted . I thought the biggest surprise was going to be her return , but it ended up being the fact that I had been tricked and knocked but by her . No matter how I thought about it , Harper knew exactly what was going to happen to me when I would meet her sister . Thar was why she led me closer to her Porsche and I followed her like an idiot .
I thought she wanted us to go back to the way things were , or at least find a starting point , but I was wrong about it . Had she cared that much about me , she would've been the first person I'd have seen the moment I regained consciousness . But she left me there like I was a fucking nobody . After everything I had done to get her attention , including lying about Anna just so I could have Harper with me .
I thought I had already received the harshest punishment by having her rub her relationship with Maddox in my face , but I was wrong And judging by what had just happened to me , it was far from over . The thought of it was so frustrating that I slammed the steering wheel with a heavy grunt . How could I be so stupid as to think that she actually wanted to see me because she missed what we used to be ? I should have been on my way to pick up Tiffany because I was already running late but after what I had been through . I didn't see myself showing up wherever she was .
She wasn't the one who had knocked me out , but I couldn't show my face to anybody , not when I was knocked out by a fucking girl . I was never going to forgive myself for letting that happen . After making that decision , I turned on the engine and drove in the opposite direction to head to one of my apartments . I needed to be alone after Harper had broken my heart once again . Why would she keep doing that to me when she knew what she meant to me ? What was it going to take for her to actually forgive me ?
As all these questions ran through my head , I parked by the side of the road for a few minutes so I could type a message , asking her all these questions and hoping I'd get a response . But as soon as I was in that chat box , my heart shattered because she had already blocked me . Was that a fucking game to her to play with my heart like that ? I closed my eyes and took a deep breath to calm down , telling myself that she might have just blocked me on that one app so I quickly opened another one but it was the same thing . I was just a second away from smashing my phone .

Who did she think she was to mess with my feelings ? No matter how I was going to lash out at that moment , she wasn't going to be on the receiving end and once again , I was the fucking loser . Maddox I arrived an hour late at my father's estate and had missed his calls and avoided replying to his messages on purpose . I only wanted to explain myself once I'd be there . I parked my car in the front yard and found Tiffany's car there too , making me furrow my eyebrows as I walked past it to head inside .
While I was still in the foyer , I could already hear her yelling on the phone from the living room and it made me slow down . " I hate you for this , Grayson ! Why weren't you there to pick me up ? I waited for you like an idiot and you never showed up ! You're gonna have to do better than give me that lame ass excuse ! " 1/3 7:35 am P Chapter 209 , I didn't even take any step further to make my presence known . I was too amused listening to her lash out like that on the phone .
My father must have been upstairs because there was no way she was going to talk like that to Grayson while he was present . She was still going on her rant when he suddenly hung up on her and that only got her more furious . " Hello ? Hello ? " It was so amusing to me that I couldn't hold in my laugh anymore . It was loud enough to echo across the room and when she heard it , she came over to the foyer . As soon as she saw me , she pursed her lips and shot me a glare . " What's so funny ? " Composing myself , I said , " The wall just whispered something to me .
You'd laugh if you heard it too . " She sneered like she didn't believe me . " You think you're on top of the world , just because everything's going right for you ? " Yup ." I said confidently , now walking into the living room . " My girl had an unforgettable birthday , The Midnight Echo will be making a music video because of her and she finally got her sister back , something that you messed with before , remember ? " " What ? She's back ? " She rushed in front of me to block the way . The look of genuine surprise on her face was so satisfying , but it quickly faded . " Ugh !
Who gives a fuck ? " she said , now leading the way . I wasn't about to go back and forth with her on that topic because I knew she only had nothing but bitterness in her heart . " I thought I was coming here to talk to dad , " I said , following behind her . She glanced back at me with a look of confusion . " I thought the same thing . He even told me to come with Grayson because I was going to need him . " I looked around . "Hmm , I don't see him anywhere ." " He never showed up to pick me up . Didn't you hear what I was saying on the phone ? Or are you suddenly deaf ?
" I raised my eyebrows as I slowly approached her . I towered over her and my voice was low but threatening . " You might want to choose your next words wisely . Just because I'm here talking to you right now doesn't mean you get to talk to me like that . Remember that ." She blinked rapidly , looking to the side while clearing her throat . " I was just saying that this isn't the time to make fun of me ." She was about to make further excuses when the sound of footsteps caught my attention . I looked back and saw my father approaching . He was already shaking his head at me .
" Where have you been ? " he asked , clearly annoyed . " I had something important to take care of with Harper and then I got stuck in traffic ." " And I'm guessing that's why you ignored my calls ? " " I'm sorry about that . I wanted to tell you but- " 7:35 am P Chapter 209 " Just forget about it , " he said , sitting down on the couch . " Is Grayson coming ? " " No , " she said with disappointment . " I sec . I really wanted him to be here for this , for your sake . " Whatever this is , we can do it without him . What's going on ? " " Why don't you first sit down ?
" He looked at both of us . After sitting on two different couches , we both looked at our father , waiting for him to begin talking , but it took him a while , like whatever he was about to say was heavy . " Dad , is everything all right ? " she asked , her tone now filled with worry , " I don't know an easier way to say this . " " Then just go for it ," I suggested . He forced a laugh . " It's not that simple , but anyway ... " Tiffany and I waited for over a minute , but he said nothing and it began to bother me as well . " What is it ? " I asked .
With a heavy breath , he looked straight at her like he was about to break her heart with whatever he was about to say . " Tiffany , I'm not your father .
