So, You Lied to Me Again?
Boom, whatever. Let it all blow up.
Dalton didn’t say another word. Instead, he typed a line in the chat:
“I’m gonna take a break. Logging off.”
And just like that, the guy disappeared.
Jean sat frozen in front of her screen, stunned.
Seriously? That’s it? You’re just gonna ghost me like that?
Could he be any more indifferent?
Suddenly-
CH
ONE
Her phone chimed with a notification. Sure enough, it was a message from Winston.
Winston: “Talk. What’s going on?”
It was just a short sentence, but Jean could practically feel the icy chill radiating from it.
She let out a long sigh at her screen, then started typing,
Jean: “Wu You, yeah… it really is the Dalton you know.”
Winston replied immediately.
Winston: “So, you lied to me again?”
Jean quickly typed back.
Jean: “Winston, I didn’t mean to lie to you!”
Jean: “Back then your team still needed one more person and you couldn’t find anyone you liked. I just wanted to help.”
Jean: “I happened to notice Dalton was playing this game too. Judging by his stats, he’s pretty good…”
Jean: “So I recommended him to you. I knew you guys had history, that you didn’t like him, so I didn’t dare tell you who he really was…”
Jean: “I honestly thought maybe it was all a misunderstanding between you two. If you had the chan talk things out, maybe it could all be cleared up…”
Jean: “I swear, I never meant to deceive you.”
She sent out a long string of messages, but Winston didn’t respond right away.
Jean started to feel uneasy.
Is he so mad he doesn’t even want to talk to me now…?

Chapter 371 So, You Lied to Me Again?
Her luck with Winston lately had been absolutely terrible.
First she got exposed, then it was Dalton….
Just then, Winston finally replied.
Winston: “Stay away from Dalton. And stop lying to me.”
Winston: “I don’t like being lied to.”
Jean stared at the screen. So that meant
Winston was letting her off the hook this time? But-
Jean: “Stay away from Dalton? Are you planning to kick him out of the team?”
That’s exactly what it sounded like,
He might have forgiven her, but he clearly hadn’t forgiven Dalton.
Winston: “Of course. I don’t want to play with him.”
Jean: “But finding a new recruit now would be such a hassle. Why not just make do…”
Winston: “That’s not something I’m willing to ‘make do‘ with.”
Jean: “What exactly happened between you two?”
Winston went quiet at that.
Faced with Jean’s question, he didn’t respond for a long time.
Nearly two minutes passed before he finally sent another message.
Winston: “Let’s not play today. We’ll regroup once the team’s sorted out.”
He didn’t answer her question–just changed the subject completely.
Jean wanted to push him for more, but in the end, she didn’t say anything.
If Winston didn’t want to talk, there was no point forcing it.”
It’d only make him more annoyed with her.
Still…
What exactly happened between him and Dalton?
Their relationship didn’t seem like a simple grudge.
She was curious, but clearly, Winston wasn’t going to give her any answers right now.
Maybe approaching it from Dalton’s side would work better…
As soon as the chat with Winston ended, Jean opened her contacts and quickly found Dalton.
