She Stuns the World - Chapter 339: Chapter 339

He was taken aback, instantly standing up and rushing out without even grabbing his phone.
The motorbike was already several tens of feet away, and he couldn't see the girl's face.
He took off after her.
As a student-athlete, Alaric ran fast, but the crowded food street slowed him down, and he nearly bumped into pedestrians, forcing him to stop and stare at her retreating figure.
A few of his buddies caught up and handed him his phone, teasing him, "You're being so dramatic. We told you to look, but you didn't, and now that you've seen her, you're chasing her like you're bewitched. Are you seriously interested?"
"Alaric, don't be too greedy. You want both Joy and Athena? You're so greedy."
Alaric shook his head, looking a bit lost. "It's not like that. You don't understand..."
"We understand," his friends replied in unison. "You want both of them."
"Don't talk nonsense," Alaric said seriously. "I swear I have no intentions towards them. I purely see them as my sisters."
His friends looked at him disdainfully. "What are you pretending for?"
"Alaric, it's not that we're trying to bring you down, but Athena is into rich and handsome guys. You're tall and handsome, but you're not rich. She can't possibly be genuinely interested in you. And she's a two-timer. You're just a backup..."
Before they could finish, Alaric grabbed each of them by their collars.
Alaric suddenly got angry and shouted, "Athena is not that kind of person. You all need to apologize to me right now. If you keep spreading rumors about her, we won't even be friends anymore."
His friends were taken aback by his intensity, cautiously asking, "Why are you so worked up? You're not really going to fall out with your buddies over them, are you? Let's be clear. We're not spreading rumors. It's all over the internet, with pictures and evidence."
Alaric said, "What evidence? I haven't seen any.
His friends hurriedly opened their phones, pulling up content from group chats, Facebook, and campus forums to show him. "Look for yourself."
Alaric snatched the phone, and his expression darkened.
There were photos of Athena getting out of Harry's car and entering office buildings with him.
Others showed her at a party, accepting flowers from Matthew and leaving with him.
"What do these photos prove?" Alaric said coldly. "She's a scholar, a genius. It's normal for executives like Harry and Matthew to want to win her over."
"Don't be naïve," his friends urged. "Rumor has it she drives a limited edition car that Matthew's company produces. Average people can't afford it, so it's likely a gift from him. Also, both the University of Technology and Kitmore University are buzzing about Athena saying she looks down on someone like you, deliberately stringing you along."
"That's nonsense!" Alaric shouted in anger, raising his fist, ready to intimidate them.
Just then, a soft voice rang out. "That news is false. You are thoughtful and talented college students. Don't let rumors deceive you."
"Athena?" Hearing that voice, Alaric turned around, his face lighting up with surprise. "You're back?"
He wrapped his arms around Athena, exclaiming, "I missed you. I waited for you at your school all afternoon."
He was so tall that Athena's chin rested on his shoulder, making her pat his back a bit awkwardly. "Yeah, I'm back. Sorry to keep you waiting."
Alaric was the most famous heartthrob at the university, good at basketball and tennis, and well-known at Kitmore University. Many people recognized him.
With Athena being equally famous, their public embrace immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Students passing by stopped to watch, pulling out their phones to take pictures and chatting excitedly.
