*****“This…” The men in the crowd became greatly embarrassed and shy upon seeing Dami’s furious look and hearing her words. They dared not look her in the eyes again and most of them became slightly nervous. Although it was already confirmed that Dami wasn’t from any wealthy background as they’d all originally assumed, her extraordinary beauty and shape were still evident to see, and this made the men not have any courage to do what she wouldn’t like. “Hehehe…” The ladies in the crowd were further infuriated. Many of them snickered and began to mock her, her mother, and her brother, claiming that her brother would have been successful with his scamming attempt if not for Lara who had foiled his plan. “Miss…” the so-called nephew of the manager abruptly smiled gently at Dami. “Nobody accused your brother of being a scammer. It is already evident that he is a scammer, trying to dupe the hotel which my uncle has been managing for years and whose rein he has promised to pa
*****‘Sir president?’ Still, in the massive reception area of the grand hotel, all mouths were wide open at present, as everybody gaped at the scene before them. They watched with deep stupefaction as the middle-aged man continued to bow to the ‘scammer’ in apology while calling him Sir Mark and Sir President over and over again, which made some of them realize that the middle-aged man had probably not mistaken Mark for someone else. Mark was dumbstruck as well, but the most thunderstruck of everybody were his mother, sister, Lara, her man, the receptionist, and all the hotel workers at the place who had also joined hands to insult Mark and his family and had supported them getting backlisted just now. “This…” Lara abruptly broke the deafening silence that had filled the place after a moment, then she hurriedly glanced at her man before looking back at the manager who remained bowed. She gazed at her man again and mumbled beneath her voice. “Is your uncle suffering from eyesight
*****“This…” Everybody was dumbstruck, hearing what Mark had just stated.As for Lara and her boyfriend, they went completely aghast with shock and disbelief.Lara, however, soon returned to her senses and then she wanted to mock Mark while giving the manager a wake-up call at the same time, making him realize that Mark was really a beggar who must have been impersonating the identity of the so-called Sir President, but then, she saw the Manager hurriedly nodding his head like a chicken that was peeking on corns the instant she gazed in his direction. :::::::“Done, sir.” The manager quickly accepted the order and then pointed at two security guards. “These two are hereby forever blacklisted from getting near this hotel. Clear?” “This…” Lara couldn't speak, while the young man was scared to death. “Bo… boss.” He trembled significantly, but then a glare from the middle-aged man shut him up. “Apart from being blacklisted, you are hereby being fired, never to be pardoned again.”
***** Outside the gate of the incredibly expensive and massive King Stars's Hotel. It has bright lights illuminating the surroundings, giving it the impression of daytime despite the lateness of the hour. The place was still bustling with beautiful cars that were entering the hotel compound and leaving, despite how late it already was. In a corner there, Lara could be seen glaring ferociously at someone who was sobbing hysterically on the ground right now. “You bastard! To think that I, too, have found myself fortunate just like Sister Rebecca with a man! Meanwhile, everything was a mere facade!” She growled beneath her voice with nothing but hatred, forcing herself not to yell. “I believed in you useless piece of garbage! Trusting that you would be able to provide the life I have always envisioned for me, only to realize that you were nothing but a useless and disgusting servant!” Lara was filled to the brim with so much disgust, gazing at the weeping man before her at this mo
*****“God… I can eventually die peacefully now. I have finally seen the most beautiful thing on earth.”“You this brat! How dare you speak about dying to my ears? Is your butt itching you or do you see me as a great joke?”“I… I… mother, but… but isn’t dying after seeing such a beautiful place like this one which I’ve never known existed in my entire life such a great thing.”“You this brat. Get here right now. Bring me that your little butt!!!”“Ah!!! Mother! I…I… I’m sorry, please forgive me!!”Watching his mother and sister, his mother particularly in a state of excitement and with the playful demeanor that he had never in his entire life felt from her before, Mark could not measure the present joy that was booming out of him.Both his heart and mind were filled massively, but then he felt that life would forever be a beautiful thing if his mother could no longer worry about how he and his sister would eat, how they would live, what they would wear, and how they would survi
*****(Sniff. Sniff. Sniff.)“Yum… so yummy! How could food smell this nice?!”“Brother, if you do not wake up right at this moment, I will finish the entire meal.”“Mean… wait, meal?”The eyes of Mark, who was still sound asleep and had merely been speaking in his slumber, reacting to the food’s fragrance snapped open and then he sat upright the subsequent moment.“Food, where?”He inquired with a start, but then he gave his sister a helpless gaze.Standing before his bed right now was his junior sister, who was holding a small plate of soup and gently nibbling on a slice of meat that was in her other hand, acting elegant as though she hadn’t just been mischievous.Mark, of course, understood what his sister had done.She had clearly brought the plate of soup closer to his nose, which was the reason behind his sudden hard sniff.Since this wasn’t the first time, wait. Since it wasn’t even the one-hundredth time that his sister had done this to him and had always won him, M
*****Both Dami and her mother immediately glanced in Mark’s direction as soon as his voice sounded, and then a joyful look directly filled Dami’s eyes, knowing that for her brother to have said what he just did, there was already a solution to her dilemma, but to be certain, Dami hurriedly open her mouth.“Do you mean what you just say, brother? We don’t need to leave yet?”“Mmm.” Mark nodded his head while his mother shook her head.“No way, son. It wouldn’t paint our picture well to the good Samaritan who let us stay in this hotel, instead, continuing staying would only make us appear as a family of greedy people to them.” She quickly interjected.“But mother, wouldn’t it paint our picture even more negatively if we were to check out when the old man had paid for more than one night for us?”His sister’s cast-down emotion upon hearing his mother’s retorting to Mark immediately dispersed and gave way to a massive joy upon hearing Mark’s response.She hurriedly gave her mother
***** First City’s College was the school for both the children of the low-class and middle-class families of Rex City, and no children of a high-class family would ever study there, why?It was the first university in the entire country that was created for the sole purpose of teaching the children whose parents couldn’t afford the high tuition of the first colleges that were created back in the day.Back then, the world only favored the rich and not the poor in any way, not that it was any better now, though. But back in the day, people from poor families didn’t have even the slightest privilege to study, given how there were not many schools in the country, and the few ones available could only be attended by the children of wealthy, influential, and powerful families, given its incredibly high tuition.Rex City was the first city to change this tradition, putting the members of the poor families into consideration and building a school that fit the purses of their families
