**** The following day, Alex was awakened by a call from his grandmother, who gave him an address and encouraged him to attend the location because it belonged to his fiancée. At first, Alex was astounded, but after a while, he placed the thought away from his mind and exited his bed. Feeling his body filled to the brim with energy and seeing the beautiful bracelet around his wrist, Alex felt rejuvenated, then he stretched his body and finally had time to arrange the dresses he had bought the previous day, which he had managed to move inside the room from the huge living room before he slept the previous night. Done with that, Alex finally prepared for school. Actually, the school no longer means anything to him, and if it weren't for the vengeance he has yet to exact, Alex would have opted not to go again, but he still has too many people to exact his vengeance on. Not only this, but he also felt that since he was already in his final years, he should finish once and for a
***** When they arrived at the university's gate, Alex told Dami to drop him off, but she protested that it wasn't what she should do as his maid and that she could have reasons to come back in the future, so Alex helplessly let himself be brought inside. Fortunately, the institution belongs to the sons and daughters of affluent families, so costly and high-end vehicles are not uncommon, which caused no one to give the supercar a second notice. It didn’t take long before the car finally stopped in front of Alex’s classroom, thanks to his direction. “Alex, what time would you be closing so that I could come pick you up?” Alex almost instantly lost his cool at that moment due to the clingy girl’s words, then he wonders within himself if he was the one still paying for sin or her. Without showing the thought on his face, Alex shook his head and told her not to worry. Dami's cheeks flushed with sadness and displeasure as soon as she heard Alex state this, but when she re
***** 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
***** Without further ado, Alex rushed to pay his tuition immediately after he left the Dean’s office, shocking and face-smacking everybody in the finance department at the same time. And from then on, unless his grade falls below a certain level, which is impossible, or he violates the school's rules and regulations, he shall not be at any risk of being expelled anymore. The school had already closed by the time he was done, but he still went to his classroom because he had a hunch that Jewel was still waiting for him there, and as he had thought, she was still there, fidgeting and staring unblinkingly toward the entrance when he got there. Apart from her, the class was completely devoid of people right now. The instant she saw Alex walk in, the worry on her face vanished, and a huge grin took over, her heartbeat also finally settled down. This was the power of friendship to those who had lacked and had never experienced it before. Not especially when that friend was som
***** 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
***** Gazing everywhere, Alex was filled with confusion right now.‘Am I at the wrong place?’He mulled to himself before removing a piece of paper from his pants pocket. Checking what he had written there earlier, he became even more confused.“I’m definitely at the exact address given to me by grandmother,” he muttered to himself with his face furrowing.Filled to the brim with this confusion, Alex continued waiting for the person who had gone inside to return.After a while, the servant returned with his face now filled with arrogance, which was utterly different from the respectful expression on his face before he left to report Alex’s arrival, he gazed arrogantly at Alex.Well… it wasn’t that Alex was bothered at all by this.“The Matriarch has ordered you to come in and quit wasting hers and everybody’s precious time.”This finally made Alex’s brows squint.It wasn’t because of how he had been addressed, rather, it was because he realized that he hadn’t gone to
**** 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
***** To cut a long story short, Alex was ridiculed even more, and all the remaining bit of humane feeling they had for him left because not only does he not buy anything for their grandmother, he even bought a cheap wine for his future father-in-law.Because of this, everybody directly snorted with disgust when they saw the necklace he bought for Jewel’s mother, thinking it was also going to be a useless piece of junk.Contradictory to how they treated Alex, Damon was instantly loved more, especially when they compared him to Alex.Everybody felt that the difference between the duo was like heaven and earth, that Alex doesn’t even have the right to be mentioned amidst Damon’s servant.Although Alex felt the deep contempt and disdain given to him by the crowd, he simply doesn’t give a fuck.Normally, he had been trained to an extent that he could be utterly indifferent to curses, so their disdain took no pin from him.If one person was furious by the way Alex was being tr
