Chapter 10

At the rooftop of her school, Naomi was leaning against the railings. She had a list of preferred colleges in her hand. She had already changed her preferred list of colleges from a school 5000 kilometers north from home to the Royal Medical School.

The Royal Medical School was her dream college. Furthermore, the Royal Medical School was in Gin City, and they had an affiliated hospital.

The first-year students of Gin City had to complete an internship in its affiliated hospital for three months before enrolling into the Royal Medical School.

That was just nice. The three months were enough for her to settle what she needed to settle in Gin City.

"I knew you'll be here!" A clear voice rang from behind Naomi.

Naomi turned around to see a girl in a limited-edition long dress. Her wavy brown hair dropped right above her shoulder. She was looking extremely regal and graceful.

The girl was walking toward Naomi with a smile. Her name was Susan Messer. Susan was the most popular belle of Saint Joseph's High School. She was also one of the most popular heiresses of Gin City, on top of the social pyramid. Furthermore, she was…Naomi's best friend!

The entire school was shocked to find out that Susan would lower her status just to mix with the problematic Naomi. However, they have all forgotten that Naomi used to be one of the most dazzling people on top of the social pyramid too.

"Why did you change your college preference?" Susan walked over next to Naomi and scanned the list of preferred colleges in her hands.

Naomi looked toward the sun in the distance with a determined expression. "I'm not going to run away! I want revenge!"

"That's amazing! You finally came to your senses!" Susan smiled in relief. She affectionately hugged Naomi around the shoulder.

Susan was curious. "I'm sure you have a plan, right? What do you plan to do? Do you need my help?"

"Hehe, Susan, you know me best." Naomi smiled slyly. "The great Miss Messer, are you interested in a side job?"

"What side job?"

"Let me tell you…" Naomi pressed up toward Susan's ears and told her softly. Susan was listening to Naomi while smiling slyly as well.

"No problem! I'm in!" The two of them shook on it in unison.

Susan brought up a different matter. "By the way, did you manage to settle your forced marriage yesterday?"

"Yes, in a way." Upon the mention of the incident the day before, Naomi furrowed her brows and recounted the entire story to Susan.

"What?! You got married to a stripper?" Susan yelled out in shock. Naomi immediately covered her mouth.

"Shh! Even though he is a stripper, I think he still has a good character…" Facing her best friend's suspicious glares, Naomi's tone turned sheepish.

"Naomi, marriage is not a game. Moreover, you've only met him once! This situation is too risky!"

Receiving a serious glare from Susan, Naomi retorted sheepishly, "We're going to sign the contract today. With the contract, he won't dare to mess with me. But…h-he…has not replied to my messages."

"What? He didn't even reply to your messages! Could he have run off with your million dollars?" Susan was instantly shocked!

"Uh…I don't think so?"

"How naive are you! This Daddy is already twenty-seven years old, yet he is still a stripper! Would a reliable person become a stripper?" Susan rolled her eyes in fury. Naomi started to worry.

In the afternoon, Naomi sent a few messages to Jack, with no response from him. She could only comfort herself by saying that perhaps he was quite old and did not know how to text well.

Finally, it was the end of school. Naomi was the first one to rush out of school. They had agreed to meet at the cafe next to the school entrance. However, there was no sign of Jack on the road.

Naomi did not notice that opposite the road, a subtle yet luxurious Rolls-Joyce was parked there. A handsome figure could be seen vaguely through the car window.

Time passed by. Soon, it had passed the time where Naomi and him 0had agreed to meet. Naomi was getting more and more disappointed by the second. Has she really been cheated? Should she not have trusted him?

"Naomi!"

Nearby, a handsome teenager approached her. Naomi looked up and their eyes met. Her expressions turned uglier.

"Gary…"

The teenager looked handsome and suave. It was a perfectly deceptive face.

Gary walked toward Naomi. He looked at her in utter displeasure. The moment he opened his mouth, he agitatedly accused her, "Clarissa told me about the things yesterday. How dare you burn your elder sister and throw her under the bus? She has been standing up for you all this while. How could you be so heartless? Naomi, do you even have a heart?"

"I'm heartless? They were the ones setting me up to marry that pervert! So, is Clarissa kind-hearted that way?" Naomi sneered.

"What nonsense are you spewing! Clarissa is the most kind-hearted and gentle person! To save you, she purposely begged me to help the Greens. What about you? You only care about yourself! How could you be so selfish? I'm extremely disappointed in you!" Gary was even angrier. Every sentence he said was standing up for Clarissa.

"Likewise! I'm disappointed in you too! Leave!" Naomi sneered coldly. She felt miserable. Gary used to be like her brother. She had always cherished this family-like friendship. Even if Gary treated her weirdly for the past few years, Naomi did not take it personally.

However, she was too naive. If she did not overhear the conversation he had with Clarissa on the phone, she would still be in the dark! Turns out, Gary had been a jerk all this while!

He pretended to be the gentle elderly brother character, pleading with Naomi to help him with his thesis and CV, yet behind her back, he joined up with Clarissa, helping her become the scholar of the school!

Gary did not listen to what Naomi said. He even pressed down hard on Naomi's shoulder and used his usual commanding tone, forcing Naomi to submit to him.

They were at a tense standoff, yet from the outsider's point of view, they looked strangely intimate. Jack stumbled upon this scene!

Instantly, his expressions darkened. His eyes turned dangerously cold. The atmosphere in the car was at a freezing point.

"Sir, look! I told you this girl is a wh*re!" Sean said with gritted teeth. He picked up the divorce papers on the front passenger seat. "Sir, I'll head over there now and get her to sign the papers!"

Just when Sean was about to open the car door, Naomi suddenly lifted her hand and slapped the boy hard!

Slap!

Gary spun around and fell to the ground face first!

"Hold up." Jack raised his eyebrows and squinted his eyes.

'Heh, how interesting…'

"Go closer and have a look."
