As Benjamin dragged Samuel away, Uzza went to the bodyguard who was trying to force his way into Lisa’s room.She patted his back. He turned around and grabbed her throat and tried to throw her aside. He was big and strong. He should have been able to throw her aside without much of a problem, even though Uzza was nearly ninety kilos in weight. However, he couldn’t move her even an inch.Uzza pressed her thumb on his forearm, which sent a surge of electricity along his arm, forcing him to let go of her. “A man who treats women roughly is worse than a pig and so needs to be treated the same way.” She swiftly slapped him with the back of her hand, making him spin and crash to the floor. He lost consciousness.Lisa was still nervously sitting in her room.“It’s safe now. You can come out if you want,” Uzza told her and walked away. “This little girl seems to have a crush on Benjamin,” she thought. “It’s not her fault. She’s at that age where her hormones excite her, but if she doesn’t le

Rye made Louis bring the bodyguards to the dorms first. Lisa wanted to see them get beaten, but Elizabeth didn’t let her daughter get anywhere near the dorms.Lisa came to Rebecca who was sitting on the balcony from where they could see the entrance to the dorms. Lisa kept looking there.“Are you not going to school?” Rebecca asked her.Lisa shook her head. “After what happened, how can I go to school?”“What about Roshan?”“He’s playing games in his room.”Rebecca sighed. “If you don’t focus on your studies now, life will get much harder later.”Lisa, however, acted like she couldn’t even hear Rebecca’s words.A couple of minutes passed. Rye and Benjamin walked out of the dorms together. “They are holding hands…”“Are you feeling jealous?” Rebecca asked.“I just wanted to be his friend,” Lisa said. “But his girlfriend doesn’t seem to like my presence around him.”“I don’t blame her. A guy can’t have female friends when he already has a girlfriend, and vice versa.”“Do you really beli

Jane and Rebecca came out of the room together, holding hands.“You look really cute, Rebecca. I’m being honest,” Jane leaned into her and kissed her head. “You make me want to kiss you.”“I don’t even look at myself in the mirror anymore, though,” Rebecca replied.“You should embrace your current look, as you might not shave your head ever again,” Jane said. “Short hair doesn’t suit every girl, but it suits you. I’m not telling you to stick to short hair, though, because you look so much better when your hair is full. It’s very silky, after all. Compared to yours, mine is very rough. I don’t really like touching my hair, and I wish I had hair like yours.”“You surely are good at joking. Your hair is nice, too,” Rebecca said.Jane and Rebecca went to the living room, and Jane greeted Selena who seemed anxious. “Is everything alright, Aunt? You seem worried.”“It’s nothing,” Selena quickly said. She didn’t want to tell anything about burying Samuel in the backyard. “You already came ba

Jane went speechless, and her eyes stayed wide open after Rye said those words.Jane looked at Benjamin with a stupid expression, unable to process what was happening. If Rye was Benjamin’s girlfriend, then why did he want to get close to Rebecca? This made her feel crazy.“Is something wrong?” Rye asked, seeing the change in Jane’s expression.“Ah, uh, no,” Jane forced out a smile. “I just got caught in my thoughts. That’s all. It’s nice to meet you, Ms. Rye. Your name reminds me of Rye’s Pizzas.”“That’s because I founded that company,” Rye said.Jane blinked twice. “W-What? Are you speaking the truth?”“Why would I lie?” Rye retorted.“Then, does that mean you are friends with Colton Brown?” Jane quickly asked.“Colton?” Rye faintly smiled. “He’s the first employee of my company, so of course I remember him.”Jane’s eyes lit up. “I’ve always wanted to talk with him. Can you give me his phone number?’“I do have his number from a while ago,” Rye said, “but I’m not sure if he’s still

Rye wondered why Uzza called her, but to her shock, Uzza was eating plum fruits in a round red hat. Uzza only wanted to share plum fruits with her.Rye could only smile and eat together with her. They did grow these fruits on Sciocidad, but this was her first time eating the ones grown in the outer world.“How are they?” Uzza asked.“They are not bad,” Rye said. “But the ones we grow back at home are like juicy little apples.”“Yeah, everything we can find here is like a degraded version,” Uzza sighed. “Even the people are…” she could hear Selena talking with someone on mobile and was talking about Jacob and his drug-related issue. “You’ve lived outside for many months, so what did you understand?”“Mm? Well, at our home, we only need to grow trees and plants to live,” Rye opined, “but in this world… people need at least one of the four things.”“What are those four things?” Uzza curiously asked.“Money, looks, intelligence, or education,” Rye said. “If you don’t have at least one of
