Chapter 735

"Sir, if you have nothing to say to me, then I'm going to hang up. I have other things to do," Bella said.

She sounded rather impatient, perhaps due to the fact that Jack had stayed mute for so long. Perhaps she thought that he was a prankster with nothing better to do than to prank call others. She hadn't recognized Jack's voice from the single word he had managed to squeeze past his lips.

Was he such a stranger to her now that she couldn't recognize Jack's voice anymore? Unless she did recognize his voice but her feelings for Jack had faded with the passing of time, so she chose not to acknowledge him. Were the vows of love that they had promised each other once upon a time broken beyond repair?

Jack started to suspect if Bella had always just treated him as a part of her game. However, he had fallen deeply into her trap and was unable to escape from it.

Noticing that Jack continued to stay silent, Bella asked again, "Who are you?"

A soft but masculine voice echoed from the receiver, asking, "Who is it?"

"A weird stranger. He refuses to speak, so I'm assuming he must be some sort of scammer."

She cut the line then. Her words were so familiar and yet so unfamiliar at the same time.

Jack continued to be in a daze as he clutched his phone in his head. His heart felt incredibly hollow at that moment. Before Bella disconnected the call, he had heard a masculine voice on the other end of the line.

A storm of chaotic thoughts began to rage in his mind as he wondered if the man's voice belonged to Bella's current boyfriend. It couldn't be, could it? Nᴇw ɴovel chaptᴇrs are published on fіndnovel.net

Bella was beautiful and had an outstanding personality. She was the type of woman who drove men crazy and never lacked any suitors. It was only natural that she would have a boyfriend.

Jack felt dizzy just thinking about it. He wasn't the type of foolish man who would let himself be influenced by his emotions, but when he thought about Bella throwing herself into another man's arms, he couldn't help feeling terribly upset.

Perhaps the reality would be as Bella described in her letter. Whenever they met again in the future, they would be completely different people who might not have much to say to the other.

That night, as Jack lay in bed after returning to the dorm, the images of three women cycled in his thoughts. The first one was Bella, followed by Feena, and finally Phoebe. Jack could feel his emotions surging whenever he thought about Phoebe.

In his heart, Phoebe was an untouchable existence, not unlike a fairy. The position she occupied in his heart was even higher than Bella and Feena. However, Phoebe was abroad. When he thought about how he might never run into her in this lifetime, he couldn't help but feel upset.

He wondered what Phoebe was up to at that moment. He wanted to get in touch with her, but had no way of doing so. After all, she was oceans away in another country, and he didn't have any of her contact information.

As he tossed and turned on the bed, Jack suddenly recalled the existence of Haven Connect.

The current version of Haven Connect was akin to an instant messaging service. The app's popularity was on par with Facebook and TikTok within the country. In fact, it could even be argued that Haven Connect had surpassed Facebook and Tik Tok's popularity.

One of Haven Connect's most basic functions was to connect the world, to be a platform where friends who resided all over the globe could gather and spend time together.

Jack logged into his Haven Connect account and used the advanced search function to seek out Phoebe's profile from amongst his circle of friends.

The app was immensely popular in Euphoria, so there was a good chance that Phoebe had created an account. If Jack added her as a friend, he would be able to follow what she was up to on a daily basis.

He quickly put his plan into motion. He logged into his account and was just about to set the parameters to be able to accurately pinpoint Phoebe's profile when he was hit with a barrage of messages from his friends and friend requests from strangers.

It had been a long time since he logged into his account, and he didn't expect that so many people would want to connect with him.

Despite being the founder of the company, Jack rarely used Haven Connect. His account was amongst the first that was created, thus it had a unique ID that stood out from the other accounts.
