Hearing the woman bust out her Finnian and even call her a country bumpkin, Serena couldn’t stand getting insulted like that, especially as a former top student. She responded back in Finnian, “You’re the country bumpkin. In fact, your entire family is a bunch of country bumpkins.”The woman was stunned. She didn’t expect this young woman to be so fluent in Finnian. With a cold smile, she switched to Awoni and said, “You wretched woman, you dare compete with me in foreign languages? Get out of my sight, bumpkin.”The other parents were shocked. If she spoke Finnian, at least the others could understand a little. However, Awoni was incomprehensible to them.Serena’s mouth twitched, and she looked embarrassed.Seeing this, the dolled-up woman ridiculed her, “You hillbilly, I was speaking Awoni. Don’t go around tooting your own horn if you don’t know anything. Get lost; don’t infect my son with your silliness.”Standing beside her was a boy with a bowl cut wearing a suit. He gave Ser
Serena looked at Isaac in shock, then in wonder. Suddenly, she burst out laughing, pointing at Gertrude.“Haha, a foreign language teacher. What a joke. You think you can put on an act in front of us common folk? A pigeon is still a pigeon. Your genetics are hardwired into your body; no matter how many foreign cuisines you’ve consumed, you can’t change genetics.”Gertrude’s chest began to heave intensely, her face turning white. As she watched Serena laugh herself silly, she burst into tears. She pointed at Isaac and Serena, sobbing, “J—Just you wait. I’ll ask my husband to come and rip your mouths off.”She quickly took out her phone from her luxury bag and dialed a number. Stomping her feet, she cried into the phone, “Hubby, come to Prince’s school right away. I’m getting bullied at the parent-teacher meeting. They even called me a pigeon!”After she hung up, she sniffled and pointed at Isaac, roaring, “Wait here for my husband to come if you dare.”Before Isaac could answer, Is
After Isaac finished speaking, not only Herbert but the other teachers and parents also laughed.The number of multimillion-dollar cars in Cloud City could be counted on one hand. What kind of friend could prevent it from moving? A mechanic?“Hey, man, let’s stop the jokes. Our time is precious; there’s a private tutor waiting for Prince at home. Since your daughter wants to celebrate her birthday with my son Prince, let’s not cross the line. Next Monday, I will invite Lenny Homers, Kris Wilder, and Baby Angel to celebrate Prince’s birthday. The party will be held on the fifth floor of Maples Hotel.”The other parents all gasped. “Lenny Homers, Kris Wilder, and Baby Angel? These are the three most popular celebrities right now. If all three of them show up, then it will rock the entire Cloud City.”Even Serena widened her eyes. Her dream was to stand under the spotlights on stage. Of course she knew the three celebrities that Herbert mentioned.Isaac said nothing. He took out his
The whole classroom was so silent that one could hear a pin drop. Isaac’s cold expression and intimidating vibe made Herbert and his wife feel like they could barely breathe.Isaac approached the couple, who then took two steps backward. “W—What are you doing?” they asked, terrified. “If you single out my daughter again, I’ll make you regret it.” A murderous look flashed across Isaac’s eyes. The Crowes felt as though they had been dunked into cold water, and their legs began to shake.At that moment, Old Brooks, who was currently in the middle of a chess game, received Isaac’s phone call. He immediately jumped out of his chair.“Mr. Brooks, what happened?”“Hurry. Get in touch with all the garages belonging to us. Mr. Garten wants a motorcade to bring his daughter home from school,” Old Brooks said to a subordinate urgently. Then, he quickly corrected himself, “Get all the black Jeeps that cost over a million dollars and are within half an hour from Carmine Elementary School. Now
After Isaac had driven out by a mile or so, Old Brooks turned around and waved his hand. The few hundred cars behind him began to move slowly, their hazard lights blinking.“Hmph, let’s see what trick you have up your sleeve that can block my multimillion-dollar car.” Herbert stalked away, a derisive look on his face. But as soon as he reached the school gate, he was stunned.The motorcade before him astounded him. His eyeballs were about to fall out of his head.Million-dollar luxury cars filled his field of vision. They were all black SUVs with their hazard lights on. All three eastbound streets were packed with cars; only motorcycles were able to pass through.After Old Brooks got into his car and left, another man stayed at the school gate to control the traffic. He gave a few hand signals, and the frontmost cars in the motorcade suddenly switched to the leftmost lane, slowly cruising past the school gate one by one.A car usually took 20 seconds to pass by the school gates. B
“Mr. Brooks said to beat him up first.”The three men in black exchanged glances before shifting their gazes to Herbert.Seeing the three men surrounding him, Herbert began to retreat backward, yelling, “W—what do you think you’re doing? You hit my car, and now, what do you think you’re trying to do? Are you going to hit me?”“Fuck…” Before he could finish speaking, one of them punched him in the face.In the car, Gertrude hugged her son tightly, not daring to make a sound. The other parents inside the school watched as the three men began to hit and kick Herbert, but none of them came to his rescue.Meanwhile, Isaac had already reached home. He was still unaware that Herbert had gotten beat up. All he could think of was how to throw a big birthday bash for Isabella. When Serena walked into the living room, she grabbed onto Isaac’s arm and said, “Isaac, c—can you really get the Backlane Boys to come to Cloud City?” When Isaac saw Isabella regard him and Serena curiously, he sa
The reason why Edward hung on to this man’s every word was that, with just one sentence, he’d made Randall go home while he became the president of the biggest corporation in Cloud City. Just from this, Edward’s trust had been strengthened. His boss was definitely a shrewd person. His boss had now given the word, so Isaac's plan to celebrate that little bastard child’s birthday with the Backlane Boys would surely fail. No matter how capable Isaac was, he wouldn’t be able to beat this big shot from Pecling. Not only did the news reach the Gould family, it even spread to Garth Properties. Even those who were following Garth Properties knew about it. Garth Properties' staff had been working round the clock to prepare for their new project. Allegra, who was dressed in a green business suit, was on her way to a meeting room when she bumped into Ms. Sawyer from Finance. “Ms. Booth, I heard your daughter is celebrating her birthday next week, and you’ll be inviting the Backlane Boys
Margaret laughed coldly. Then, she said sarcastically to Allegra, “Oh, I’ve told all our relatives that my granddaughter is having a birthday party next Monday. I even notified your father’s relatives. I bet they’ve never seen the Backlane Boys in the flesh! Look at me; I’m getting all excited. It’s all thanks to you.” Allegra’s face darkened. At that moment, Isaac stood. When Margaret saw Isaac get up with a gloomy expression, she immediately turned around to leave. There was a cold smile on her face when she said, “Well, we won’t take more of your time. Oh dear, if the Backlane Boys can’t make it, everyone will spit at you.” Andrew turned around to glare icily at Isaac. Smirking, he said, “Garten, don’t get all giddy. You won’t be happy for much longer.” The living room fell silent. Allegra closed her eyes and took a deep breath, muttering coldly, “Isaac, I don’t care what people think of me, but you made a promise to Bella. She knows about everything now. If you upset her,
