Dionne took a deep breath, she was hesitant to open all the gifts. But she could not back down because it was her birthday party. All the guests wanted her to open it.To be honest, she did not expect Rex to come. But since the young man came, she felt a bit confused. She was afraid that Rex would be insulted by other people. Because she believed Rex could not afford to bring expensive gifts like her other friends.As if reading Dionne’s thoughts, Seren immediately stepped up and took the gift from the table, and gave it to Dionne.“What are you thinking about? Let’s open the gifts from mom and dad first!”Dionne nodded and then she opened the box her parents gave her. And how surprised she was when she opened it. It turned out that there was a key to a luxury car along with the greeting cards. She immediately hugged and kissed her parents happily.“Mom and dad bought me a car?” she asked.Seren nodded then returned to hug her beloved daughter. “Of course, honey. Mom and dad can’t pos
Rex looked back in confusion. He looked at Kenneth as he said, “Is there anything I can help you with—”BUGH!“How dare you tease Dionne!” snapped Kenneth after throwing a punch to Rex’s face.His breath was panting with anger. He kicked Rex in the face until fresh blood came out of the mouth of the man he had beaten. One right punch to Rex’s face.Rex fell to the ground until his elbows were bleeding. He frowned when he saw Kenneth clenching his fists in anger. Kenneth pulled his collar, then punched him in the face many times. He could not fight back because Kenneth put all his strength into hitting.“Hey, let’s talk first!” Rex crossed his arms over his face until Kenneth stopped.However, Kenneth instead kicked Rex who was trying to stand up. “You poor man! You don’t deserve to be around Dionne!”Today should be a great day for Kenneth. He could get closer to Dionne through tonight’s party. However, Rex’s presence made him very angry.“I feel sorry for your parents. They raised chi
The next morning in a quite luxurious house, where the Lace family lived. A beautiful-looking girl was seen coming down the stairs that led to the dining room.Dionne could not have breakfast with her parents today. Thus, she told them so they would not misunderstand.“What are you going to do anyway? You don’t usually go to campus this early.” Seren glanced briefly at her daughter while munching on her food.“I have campus activities that can’t be left behind, Mom,” Dionne replied, glancing at her watch.“You have to remember your mother’s message. Don’t approach other men because you are already betrothed to Kenneth. He is a suitable husband for you because he comes from the same rich family as ours.”For the umpteenth time, Seren reminded her daughter about this, to the point that sometimes it made Dionne feel bored because she kept hearing similar sentences coming out.“Yes, Mom. I understand. I also don’t want to embarrass our family.” Dionne had surrendered herself if she really
Kenneth parked the car right in front of the office. He took out his tablet, then checked the news about him written in the article. He smiled happily after being satisfied with the result.After that, Kenneth got out of the car and entered his room with a cheerful face. However, his expression changed when he saw a red box lying on his desk. His mood instantly changed.“Hey! Who put this box carelessly? I should kick those careless employees too!”An annoyed Kenneth kicked the box so it fell to the floor. The red box toppled over, knocking the lid open. When he took a closer look at the box, his eyes widened with a scream.“ARGHHHH!”His screams reached outside the room. He covered his mouth in shock. Red liquid poured out of the box. The last thing that came out was two eyeballs rolling toward him.“Bodyguards!” called Kenneth in a loud voice.The bodyguard immediately opened the door wide, while the employees who were working stopped their activities. They stared curiously at the Bo
After the incident at Dionne’s birthday, Rex became even more motivated to make Lennart his friend. He realized he also needed someone else. Even though he could beat others, it felt different when someone helped him.Rex was the one who often helped others this far. Therefore, he could not help but feel happy when Lennart helped him. Having a caring friend was not such a bad thing after all.Today Rex would meet Lennart at the library as they promised yesterday via message. He was still in his class when people talked about Chelsea.“Do you know where Chelsea is? She suddenly missed the class yesterday. Today she’s absent too. That’s weird. She’s never been like this before.”“Maybe she’s scared because Sir Morris knows Rex, haha. You must know what happened between her and Rex.”“That makes sense. But I heard someone beat up Rex at Dionne’s birthday party. Doesn’t he know Rex is close to Sir Morris?”“I don’t think he knows. However, those who are aware of it humiliate Rex, too. The
“What else does that old man want to do? I will beat him even harder this time!”The short-haired girl gasped in fear when she heard Lennart’s shout. The rumors turned out to be true. Lennart would beat anyone who annoyed his friends or someone close to the Quillon family.“Calm down,” Rex whispered as he put his arm around Lennart. “You have scared the girl in front of us. I don’t want to befriend someone with a bad reputation.”Lennart frowned. “Don’t you have a bad reputation too? People changed their opinion of you after you beat up Cesar.”“That’s a different situation.”“I’m also in a difficult situation. How can I stay silent if someone is bothering my friend?”Rex sighed, knowing that Lennart would not stop arguing. He stopped responding and gestured for Lennart to stand up. Before going to the dining hall, he thanked the short-haired girl first.People watched the two of them as soon as they arrived at the dining hall. Usually, no one would care who came because the students
Kenneth’s face turned pale because this situation was beyond his expectation. Before going to Struthia University, he had sent people to investigate Rex. His people reported that Rex was known as a good student.The young man only ever got into trouble once when Cesar tried to humiliate him. There were no other cases or scandals besides that. As a result, Kenneth thought Rex would forgive him as long as he was polite.“I-I will do anything! Just don’t tell me to drink the toilet water,” Kenneth pleaded while putting his hands together.Rex rubbed his chin before coming up with a new idea. “What if I cut your tongue and break your hand? That way, you can no longer insult other people or beat them up.”“That’s a really good idea!” Lennart replied as he gave a thumbs up.They looked calm as if they were discussing a restaurant menu. While Kenneth was trembling with fear because he realized they would not forgive him. He paused for a moment and thought about what to do next.Neither Rex n
All the bosses had gathered at Dante’s mansion after receiving information that the main master was planning a counterattack on the Quillon family. They had come there before to see Chelsea punished. However, that did not happen because Dante could not find the girl anywhere.It looked like the main leader would not make Chelsea a priority. He had determined to attack the Quillon family in the near future. The bosses of the organization came with some of their confidants, while Dante was accompanied by Ernest as usual.They walked into a room with a round table. After Dante sat down, the members quickly took their seats. But the underlings stand behind their boss like Ernest stood behind Dante’s chair.“I think I shouldn’t waste time explaining what we are going to discuss. You all should already know why I invited you to the mansion.”Everyone nodded at the same time when they heard Dante’s words. Then, the main leader continued his explanation.“We will not attack the Quillon family
