Chapter 143

As Jack's gift was finally brought forward, Wesley couldn't resist teasing him. "Jack, what kind of big surprise did you prepare for the campus queen?" He had seen Jack borrow money earlier and figured Jack must've gone all out on a gift for Phoebe. The thought made him curious—and a little amused. Feena and Phoebe also turned their attention to Jack's gift, eager to see what he had picked out. Phoebe carefully unwrapped the package, handling it delicately as if afraid of damaging whatever was inside. Meanwhile, Jack felt a sinking feeling in his gut. Then, under everyone's watchful eyes, Phoebe pulled out a watch. At first glance, it looked fine, but a closer look revealed rough engravings and an unimpressive finish. It was clear that this watch wasn't expensive. The room fell silent for a split second. Then came the inevitable reactions—shock, snickers, and even outright disdain. Jack already felt awkward, but Mia's next words made him want to disappear.
