***** It was only after some time did Shana eventually return to her senses, and the dumbfounded expression on her face was replaced with anger that could pierce into someone's bone and marrow. Standing up helplessly, her body released a slight killing intent as she glared ferociously in the direction of her classroom before turning around to leave. Surprisingly, instead of hating Cliff who had smacked her in the face and publicly embarrassed her, all her hatred was actually directed at Alex. “It was that bastard’s fault?” “How dare trash like him?! What right does he have to make my baby slap me?” “I won’t rest until his life was destroyed?!” She growled darkly to herself silently, then with those thoughts spiraling ferociously in her mind, she started searching around for Cliff to appease his anger. She didn’t even bother to pause for a second to think about why Cliff, who had despised Alex more than she does, had slapped her and acted like he was close with Ale

***** Had Alex known that the person he was going to meet was, well, the person he would have been excited to meet, he would have placed more effort into the gift he wanted to buy, but unfortunately, he was only going there simply because of his intention to satisfy his deceased mother and grandmother’s wishes, but was going to reject the arranged marriage afterward. ‘With my current identity, how could I settle down for an arranged marriage and not someone I truly loved? Also, am I still too young to consider marriage now?’ This was his thought in simple terms, but in narcissistic terms, it was: ‘With my two identities as a cultivator and the heir of one of the most powerful families in the world, I could easily have any number of jade beauties I want; how could I marry someone I don’t know? Wouldn’t that mean I was being taken advantage of?’ With these two thoughts in his mind, Alex casually bought a glass of wine for the girl’s father and a necklace for her mother. W

**** It was Jewel’s cousin who was also getting engaged on that day that asked this question, which instantly startled everybody and made them start gazing from Alex to Jewel repeatedly, with funny expressions appearing on their faces. ‘How could they have known each other?!’ ‘One is from a famous and wealthy family while the other is from a humble background.’ As for Alex and Jewel, although they had finally returned to their senses after hearing Caterina’s question, the shock and confusion on their faces didn’t reduce at all and rather only intensified. Finally, after some moments, the two eventually realized what was going on, then for the first time since a very long time ago, Jewel unexpectedly smiled before her family members, and instantly, all the frostiness on her face melted away in the blink of an eye. Witnessing this, everybody in the hall became shocked to the brim, thinking they were seeing the wrong person. As for Damon, the moment he saw the smiling Angel whose

***** Although Alex is unwilling to acknowledge this to himself, so as not to become accustomed to it, the meal that Dami prepared for him was unquestionably delectable and lavish. Not only was it made well, all the ingredients used were the best amongst the bests in the market. “Master, hope you enjoyed your meal?” Immediately the question sounded, Alex who was just finishing the last steak on his plate nodded his head softly, appreciating slightly without showing whether he meant it or not. Finishing this last steak, just before Alex could propose cleaning the dishes, Dami jumped to her feet and packed the entire tableware. Witnessing this, Alex’s brows furrowed tightly and he quickly convinced himself. “No! I must stop all this! How could I accept everything without any guilty conscience.” Making up his mind, he stood up and followed Dami into the kitchen. Once in the kitchen, Alex realized to his astonishment that the place was already stocked with all sorts of ingredient

***** As once mentioned, what occurred earlier quickly spread like wildfire in the school, but as said, nobody believed the claims.“Duh… I would rather believe it if what was said was that a pig was seen flying, but for the pauper to be someone we couldn’t afford to offend… hmph!”The school platform’s comment section was already boiling with a maximum capacity for argument and mockery at this moment.As for Alex.Well… his cell phone was the ancient one, which simply means it can’t do what the newer phones are doing, so, he has never joined the school platforms before.And in other words, although he was currently inside the school, within the classroom, he has no idea that the talk about him already filled everywhere.Well… he wouldn’t even have cared if he had known, and he would have even been slightly happy that nobody believed the claim.Seated in the classroom, Alex was currently filled with wonder and amazement which was why he couldn’t see the ridiculing and
