Ten Years Later, When I Saw My Ex-boyfriend Again

　　They looked at me one by one.

　　The pain in my stomach made me sweat profusely.

　　Joe Lawrence looked indifferent.

　　Seeing so, others were all indifferent.

　　"I am here to check on you."

　　It seemed that my condition had improved a little after meeting Joe.

　　The pain was gone, and I looked up happily.

　　"You've turned a blind eye to me for the past ten years. Now that I've made a name for myself, you're here, pretending to fall. Alana Ward, what a good plan!"

　　Joe sat down and smiled, looking as indifferent as ever.

　　I was stunned.

　　I couldn't help feeling a little stunned.

　　Ten years ago, I took the initiative to break up with him.

　　"I heard that Alana Ward broke up with Joe Lawrence because her father looked down on him."

　　"She didn't expect that her family was in decline. Joe Lawrence had made a name for himself."

　　"Man proposes, but heaven disposes!"

　　It was Joe's first time performing on the stage after he returned from abroad.

　　All of Joe's friends came to congratulate him.

　　They knew a little about me.

　　Rumor had it that I detested the poor and loved the rich, so I decisively abandoned Joe.

　　Now that I, who was in dire straits, wanted to get a share of the profits after seeing how famous Joe was.

　　"Alana, hurry up and leave. There's no place for you in Joe's heart!"

　　Joe's good friend stepped forward to persuade me and pushed me hard.

　　I lost my balance and fell on the chair.

　　I looked at Joe in a daze.

　　He didn't stop them. Compared with ten years ago, he was indifferent.

　　"I am here to check on you."

　　I pouted and subconsciously pinched the corner of my clothes tightly.

　　My palms were covered with sweat.

　　"Who is she?"

　　In the front row, a glamorous woman stood up. Her expensive necklace was shining brightly under the light.

　　"Kate, she is just... an ordinary friend of Joe!"

　　The ones who tried to persuade me said that I was an ordinary friend of Joe.

　　"Alana, aren't you leaving yet? Joe is no longer the poor boy he used to be. Not only does he have success in his career, but he also has a fiancee!"

　　They all sounded disdainful.

　　Hearing this, I was stunned. Then I looked at the woman.

　　She was indeed beautiful and noble.

　　Compared to me now, she was someone I couldn't reach.

　　"Are you Alana Ward? I heard Joe mentioned you before. Thank you for hurting him so badly and sending him to my side!"

　　"However, this matter ends here. I hope that you will never appear again!"

　　Joe's fiancee waved her hand and called the security guards over, saying, "Send Miss Ward out!"

　　"Stop right there!"

　　I turned around in a daze, but Joe stopped me.

　　I was anxious. Joe asked, "Do you have anything else to say?"

　　"Congratulations!"

　　I turned my head away. I didn't dare to let Joe see the scar on my face, fearing that he would think I was ugly.

　　"Alana, I'm here!"

　　At the entrance of the concert, my best friend, Hollie Cox, was waiting for me in her second-hand Audi.

　　She was afraid that I would feel weak, so she especially took her days off and picked me up here.

　　"You saw Joe, right?"

　　I nodded awkwardly and smiled bitterly.

　　"He ignored you, right? Why is he so stingy? You haven't seen each other for ten years. As friends, you should talk. Think about it. You did a lot back then."

　　Hollie angrily defended me.

　　I touched the faint scar on the side of my face, saying, "I didn't pay much, did I?"

　　"Oh my god! What are you talking about? He can't get what he got today without you."
