“Indeed… After the young master passed on, no other Fenderson was able to challenge our rivaling family. After all, you were already at an old age when that happened, big brother. It truly is a shame… Thank god our little Jasmine is extremely talented. Her skills could easily match the young master’s! With enough training from us, she could become even more amazing!” said another old man. “While I’ve considered allowing her to participate in this, she’s still Ethan’s only daughter. She’s the last of her bloodline! I’ve been protecting her from the outside world for the longest time… I just don’t have the heart to let her in on all this!” exclaimed the Fenderson patriarch. “She’s still young and she’ll eventually be married off as well. I should also mention that not even young master Ethan had been able to handle the family. What can she do? Her parents had both been killed in that incident, do you think they’d hesitate to take down a little girl?” said another middle-aged man with
“Did you hear that?” The patriarch asked the moment she entered the study.Jasmine nodded firmly. If the fact that the younger generation of their family was permanently grounded was enough to make Jasmine gloomy and depressed every day, then she would forever be grieving over the incident which involved her parents. At least when she was grounded, she could throw a tantrum or complain about it. But ever since she was young, no one had ever told her anything about her own parents. She’d only receive beatings when she asked about them. “Do you hate me for hiding it from you for so many years?” The patriarch asked. “No, I don’t hate you. I understand that you hid it from me for my sake!”Jasmine said. “Jasmine, I saw your performance over the past few years. Frankly speaking, I’m very proud to have a granddaughter like you. Your parents in heaven should be very proud of you too.” The patriarch patted Jasmine’s shoulders lightly. “Then grandpa, who is the enemy of our
Certainly, her grandfather would step forward and intervene since she was going to inherit the property forcefully. Jasmine did not have to worry about the Schuyler family. Although the Schuyler family was quite powerful and influential, they did not dare to cross the line indiscriminately.Jasmine walked out of her grandfather’s study. She tucked away the photograph properly, and she was about to return to her bedroom. “Jasmine, I’ve been waiting for you for a while now!” Under the cover of night, there was a young man standing outside in the courtyard. “Yael Schuyler, why are you waiting for me?” Jasmine said coldly. “I heard from someone else this afternoon that you were hurt. Got beat up by someone else, I heard. I was worried about you, so I came to ask you about it. Don’t worry, Jasmine. I’ll make him pay a heavy price for it!” Yael said.“It’s none of your business. Let me tell you. If you dare to even lay a single finger on my classmates, I’ll certainly never forg
Actually, Gerald intended to talk longer with Jasmine.But after Jasmine said that, there seemed to be a look of resentment on her face when she turned her face away from him.Clearly, she was in no mood to talk to him. Gerald then did not force his way into a conversation with her. Instead, he ran and sat behind the two sisters. Mindy then turned around and rolled her eyes at Gerald. There was no doubt that in her mind, Gerald was just an honest man. But to her surprise, not only was he filthy rich, but he was also pretty skilled at martial arts. But Jasmine herself was quite an exceptional fighter. How could she be defeated by him so easily? If Jasmine did not specifically request for her to not mess with Gerald, she would’ve asked Jasmine to have a re-match with that man again.At first, they were just waiting for the lesson to commence. But after waiting for a while, they did not see many students entering the class. They only saw a few girls from the next class ente
“They’re done for. Gerald, I heard that the Moore family is dependent on an especially large and influential family in Salford Province—the Schuyler family. They could quite literally do anything and get away with it scot-free!” Marven proceeded to explain the complex familial and political relations within Salford Province.Both Jasmine and Mindy, who were sitting in front of them overheard their conversation rather clearly.It was pretty clear that they were eavesdropping when Marven mentioned the Schuyler family. Jasmine tilted her head the moment they reached this topic.After a short while, they heard footsteps outside of the classroom.Finally, the students who should have been here ages ago filed into the classroom.Isabelle was the last person to enter the class. Stella was the one who propped her up. Both of Isabelle’s cheeks were flushed red from all the slaps she had received. Besides that, she was crying vehemently. As she was crying, she said, “I didn’t realize
At that moment, when everyone had run out of options. “Jasmine, why did you ask me to come out here?” Mindy asked. It didn’t take long for her to understand what was going on. “Oh… I see. Don’t tell me that you want to…” Mindy shook her head in resignation and said, “I’m gonna be honest with you, I don’t like Isabelle either. Just look at how she treats her classmates. Besides, Warren is a fool through-and-through. It’s fine if they get themselves in trouble. Why do you have to step forward though?” “I understand what you mean, but we don’t have any kind of resentment towards them. After all, we’re classmates. They’ve never stepped on my tail before anyways. Besides, those girls even cheered me on enthusiastically during the competition yesterday, including Isabelle!“I can’t bear doing nothing about this. Besides, I’ve heard about Colton before. He’s Yael’s subordinate. Maybe this incident is somehow related to Yael!” Jasmine said. “D*mn! Jasmine, you could start being
Yael said. Just when Jasmine stopped paying attention, he took the chance and grabbed her hand. “Get lost!’ Jasmine reacted almost instantaneously. She shoved away Yael’s hand. The force with which she shook off his grip was so strong that it smashed the fresh flowers Yael was holding into the ground. Yael stared at the roses which were scattered all over the floor. He was stupefied. In the university, there were a lot of girls who passed by them. They all stopped in their tracks and stared at the scene before them.“Wow! Did he literally just get shot down!?” “Ha ha! This guy seems so well dressed. Did he still get turned down by the Goddess herself?” “That’s right. Ain’t no way our Goddess will give away her love and affection to some random chap.” The girls couldn’t help but cover their mouths as they mocked Yael. After all, looks weren’t the only thing women looked at when judging a man. They would still have to consider his style, how his clothes fit him, how ex
Jasmine really could not help in resolving the issue even if she wanted to. Although she wanted to lend Isabelle a helping hand, she could not use her identity as a member of the Fenderson family to help them. On the other side, Gerald saw a large group of people rushing into the union class. Isabelle was almost scared to death when this happened.Even Warren appeared to be slightly frightened now. Clearly, the incident was spiraling rapidly out of control.“What should we do now? It seems like the faculty director can’t hold them back for long!” Isabelle cried in fear as she said so. At last, Warren looked at Maia. “Maia, didn’t you exchange your contact information with Yuna the other day? If we’re really out of options now, go and look for help from Yuna. She did say that we could hit her up if we’re facing any problems.” Maia said, “But I’m worried that Yuna was just being nice to us. After all, what kind of status and identity does she have? How sure are you that she
