“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
At that moment, Gerald drove his car straight to Barry’s villa.When he reached that place, he discovered that there were lots of cars parked outside the gates.Barry had very complicated interpersonal relationships. There were tons of people who wanted to see him. Knowing this, Gerald wasn’t even remotely surprised at the discovery. It only meant that he had to park his car further away from the house. Walking into the place, he found that Barry was indeed loaded with jobs to do. There was quite a long line leading up to the door of his office.It was more or less like what Zack experienced. There were lots of people standing outside the door. It seemed like Barry had to see every single one of them.Gerald chuckled painfully to himself. After that, he approached the villa.“Maia, how long are we going to wait? There are tons of people here. My dad hasn’t returned home yet. I’m worried sick!” Standing at the side, Isabelle and the others waited.At that moment, they we
“Who is this person? How impolite can he be?! Can’t he even act like a decent human being?” “That’s right. It’s the door to Mr. Zartyr’s villa. How dare he walk in as if this was his house? Didn’t he see that we’re standing in a line” For a moment, a lot of people started whispering among themselves. As for Maia and Isabelle, they were waiting to see how Gerald would be humiliated in front of everybody.It was because Barry was a big shot in Salford Province, and he had tremendous influence. Besides, he was particularly keen about maintaining tradition and acting with prudence. If anyone acted imprudently, that person would be reprimanded heavily.At that moment, Gerald knocked on a door. The door to the living room was opened by a butler. “This guy is looking for it, courting death he is!” “Does he think that he can get ahead of us by acting like this? Ha ha!” “I know lots of kids like him. He’ll only make a laughing stock out of himself. He’s destined to be unable to
At that moment, Maia said, “Actually, I’m not sure if we’re even friends at the moment. Even if I asked him to help me, it’s quite likely that he’ll turn me down. But I’ll give it a try!” She reluctantly whipped out her cell phone and called Gerald’s number.She felt conflicted about this. To be forced to beg for help from someone who she was looking down on. Not to mention the fact that she had once hurt him with painful words in the past.But she indeed needed Gerald’s help to resolve that issue. It did not occur to Gerald that Maia, who was as proud as a peacock, would call him up at this moment.In that instant, he burst out laughing to himself.“What’s wrong?” Gerald asked. “Gerald, you… do you know Mr. Zartyr?” Maia’s voice was extremely soft. “Yes, I do know him! Just tell me what you want to say!” Gerald said lightly. “You should be aware that we’re in great trouble now. If you do know him, I hope that you can help introduce us to him or at the very least, menti
“It’s a long story. I won’t be able to explain it to you clearly in just a few sentences!” Gerald smiled and said. At that moment, a few servants entered the room in a respectful manner before serving Isabelle and Maia some tea. “Gerald, I don’t know what kind of relationship you have with Mr. Zartyr. But you know very well that we’re facing a dire threat at the moment. If you’re able to help, I sincerely hope that you do so as soon as you can!” Maia said. Isabelle nodded vigorously. “Gerald, I’ll apologize to you. After this, I don’t care how you will treat me. I just want you to give us a hand!” “Alright, I’ll mention it to Mr. Zartyr. But after this thing blows over, I hope that I have something to gain out of this!” Gerald looked at them and said with a smile. If they had come earlier, Gerald would have helped them, no questions asked, despite how cold and aloof Maia treated him. But the situation was different now. His heart had gone numb at this point.Now, G
