Fabian replied. “She spends her time in the school’s art studio As far as I know, Ms. Eileen has also signed. up for the art specialty student entrance exam at Hulbury Central Art Academy The exam is scheduled for next month. If Ms. Eileen achieves the top score, she will have the opportunity to be directly admitted However, this year, there are over three million art student applications, but only two hundred and thirty spots available. Achieving the top score is not an easy i
task.”
“Regardless of whether she is accepted or not, even if she doesn’t attend this university, I can still support her. Let’s drive back to the company.”
Upon reaching the cla*sroom. Eileen overheard a group of people murmuring about something in the
corridor.
“Eileen is truly l
lucky! I thought she had no chance with Jasper, but in the blink of an eye, she’s set to become the future Mrs. Smith of Smith Corporation. I can’t even begin to count how many people must he envious of her.
“Didn’t Jasper have a mistress? Eileen hasn’t been to school for quite some time because of this. Who knows if she used some kind of scheme to secure this marriage?”
“If there’s anyone to blame, it’s that no one is as good-looking as her. My mom told me that Eileen’s mother used to be the most sought-after lady mn Hulbury, so beautiful that she could turn heads. Leven heard that my dad once danced with her!”
“No way. You’re kidding!

It’s true. When away, so many ladies in the wealthy circle were i
they couldn’t sleep for days. Back then, her status in Hulbury was such that with just a flick of her finger, regardless of whether the man was powerful influential, or married, she could lure him into her bed with just a word.”
“Goodness. This Lileen really takes after her mother! She’s a natural-born seductress
“She may be, but at least she has the charm to be one. However, some people, not only are they ugly, but they also love to spread rumors. I think they should stop going to school and become paparazzi instead.” Jason appeared out of nowhere, his long legs blocking the three gossipers. Benjamin also appeared. carrying his bag. “Which cla*s do you three belong to, and where are your bulges? Why aren’t you wearing them? Be careful. I may deduct points for this
Jason was the head of the monitoring division in the student council. Meanwhile, Benjamin, the president of the student council, also served as the deputy head of the monitoring division, handling various matters within the school.
One’s usual performance also mattered in that school as it determined whether one could graduate smoothly.
“You agree, don’t you, Segunda?” Jason extended two lingers, bending them toward Eileen.
“It has nothing to do with me, replied Eileen.
Upon hearing Fileen’s voice, those who were speaking ill of her suddenly stiffened, their faces turning

unsightly. When did Eileen appear behind us? It’s all over, it’s all over… Did she hear everything we just said?
“Apologize to me, demanded Eileen
The three individuals immediately turned around, bowing incessantly to Eileen. “We’re sorry, we’re sorry… We won’t dare to do it again.”
“I’m fine if you insult me. but don’t talk about my mother like that.”
“Yes, yes, yes. It’s our fault for speaking out of turn. We’re truly sorry
When Eileen looked at Jason, her expression softened slightly. She nodded her head, expressing her gratitude.
Jason raised his eyebrows, as if to say. It’s no big deal
That day, the scores were posted on the blackboard at the back of the cla*sroom, and her seat was moved to the very last one in the room.
It was hard to imagine that the one who was once second in the grade, upon returning, had shockingly become the very last.
Even if Eileen was ranked last in the cla*s, no one dared to mock her even a little.
After all, she was the future Mrs. Smith of Smith Corporation
It didn’t matter if the rest of them had high scores or great influence. They all paled in comparison to the Smith family.
Perhaps in the future, they might have to gauge her mood before meeting her again.
Eileen said. Thank you.
Jason set down Eileen’s desk against the wall and dusted off his hands. “It’s no big deal. If you ever have
trouble with your studies, feel free to ask me anytime. I’ll teach you.”
“All right.”
As soon as Jason finished speaking. Benjamin tossed a book from his hand onto the table. I don’t need this anymore, so take it.
Vera also came over. These are the notes I’ve made for you while you were away these past few days. I’m not sure if they’ll be of any help, but I hope they will a*sist you in acing your upcoming exams.
“Mm-hmm, replied Eileen.
Benjanin interjected. These notes are of no use to her. In the words of Mr. Gardner, Practice more, and ask if you don’t understand.”
All right
The school bell rang for cla*s.
In truth, it had already made her own plans long ago.

There was more than one way for her to reach her destination.
Everything she did was for herself.
As soon as the first cla*s ended, Eileen had already dipped away.
She still went to the same location, believing she could achieve her goal in one month.

Engaged? Dream on. Eric tore the newspaper in his hands into shreds, splinting a photo of a couple in the middle into two halves. “Where is Nancy?”
Gavin said. “I’ve done as you instructed. We should be able to see the news report by this afternoon. However, there’s talk around Raven Gang that Nancy has spent a hefty sum to hire a hacker. She’s looking into our previous phone call. It seems she wants to investigate the person who’s been helping her behind the scenes.
Eric took off his gold-rimmed gla*ses, leaned back, and crossed his left leg over his right. If she wants to investigate. let her.
Eric had always been skilled at strategizing and understanding human nature. He knew that some individuals required a nudge before they would divulge their secrets. It was also an opportunity for him to expose the sheltered flower to the realities of the outside world. He wanted to show her that the world was not as idyllic as she imagined. If she desired to experience the world, he would permit it, but only within his reach. Just because you’ve left home and found a powerful supporter doesn’t mean you can arrogantly believe that you can sprout wings and fly far away. Some lessons need to be ingramed in your mind. How is the investigation into Nancy activities abroad that I asked you to look into progressing?

Gavin nodded his expression growing even more solemn. Thave found something. This is a clue from a local Atharia gang, whom I enlisted to a*sist with the investigation. Half a year ago. Nancy had her photo taken at this photo studio, and she was accompanied by someone
Eric picked up a photo. His eyes dimmed slightly, but the corner of his mouth curved into an enigmatic smile. It appears that Eileen will be returning home soon
“Should these photos be published together?”
Eric tilted his head, lazily rubbing his temple. “No need to rush. It’s too early for that now. Go and send someone to remove the door of Undella Mansion and tidy up all the rooms, just as we used to do. A family should be complete and united, shouldn’t it, my little princess?
A sudden pain, akin to being pricked by a needle, surged in Eileen’s chest. The accompanying pame caused her hands to tremble, resulting in the paintbrush she was holding slipping and falling to the ground.
She clutched her chest, her unease intensifying with each pa*sing moment, to the point where even breathing became a struggle. Why?,
