Lilac felt a great sense of superiority. “Duh! You brought your shameless *ss here because you wanted to dine in Dew Garden as well, didn’t you? “I’ll tell you right now. Dew Garden is a symbol of status. It’s not a place country bumpkins like you can enter! You should leave right now instead of getting chased out later!”North flipped her hair again. “Sure. Don’t go regretting what you just said, Lilac.”Lilac just sneered mockingly. “What a joke. Why would I regret what I said? If I do, I’ll apologize to you in public.”Dew Garden should be thanking her for chasing a country bumpkin away. Why should she regret her decision?North nodded. “Alright. Have fun eating.”She moved aside to show she had no intention to enter with them. Lilac felt even more smug. “At least you have some semblance of sense. Let’s go!”North smiled as she watched the people enter Dew Garden. Then, she took out her phone and sent a message. …Lilac and the group went to the receptionist and said ar
But she was not in the room. Lilac quickly said, “I’m a daughter of the South family. Ms. Myers isn’t—”“The South family?!” Before she could even finish speaking, the manager scowled, and his expression turned dark. “Who exactly are you? Your name isn’t on Ms. Myers’s guest list!”The atmosphere turned stiff and awkward. The employees looked at Lilac in puzzlement. Lilac’s face turned red from rage. “What on earth are you saying?! I’m Lilac South from South Corporation!”The manager had never heard of her before, and he grew even angrier. “Lilac South, is it? I told you, your name isn’t on the guest list, and that’s it! I can’t believe you’d lie like this at your age. Did you actually think you can pretend to be a VIP of Dew Garden so easily?”Lilac had been feeling full of herself just now, but when the manager started lecturing her, she was stunned. Without even thinking, she shouted back, “Impossible! Soaring Heights has a gathering for its employees here today! Melinda Mye
North leaned against the pillar next to her with arms crossed. She turned to Lilac with a grin. Lilac’s mind went blank. She flew into a fit of rage. “Why would I regret it?! Mind your words or I’ll cut your tongue out!” Right after Lilac finished speaking, a thought struck her. “The manager banned the Myers family from the diner. Does that mean…?” Lilac pointed at North and screamed angrily, “North, how dare you even say those words to me?! You caused Dew Garden to blacklist us! You must have offended them!” The crowd turned to watch. North gave her an amused look. “Lilac, are you just as stupid as your brother? Why blame me? I haven’t even stepped inside.” “It’s you! It has to be you!” Lilac went into a frenzy. “The Myers family couldn’t have possibly offended Dew Garden’s boss. You’re the only one who came from the countryside. A country bumpkin like you must have offended the boss of Dew Garden! You’re dead!” Lilac lunged at North furiously and tried to slap her. No
North was not interested in Gerald’s curriculum vitae. She casually took the menu and looked for something delicious to reward herself.She almost spat out her water when she saw the prices listed on the menu.North asked earnestly. “Has anyone ever lodged a report about how Dew Garden set its prices?” She thought. “The prices are outrageously high!” The manager felt helpless. He was about to answer North. However, when he saw a man arriving, his expression immediately changed, and he looked down. North remained clueless. “What is it? Is this some kind of trade secret? Can’t you tell me?” “Ms. North, you can always ask me.” North heard a gentlemanly voice. Although Gerald sounded gentle, his voice was devoid of any emotions. It exuded a sense of majesty that belonged to someone superior. The manager knew well that Gerald’s gentleness was only skin-deep. He dared not offend Gerald. The manager quickly said, “Mr. G, here you are. I’ll excuse myself first.” Gerald nodded.
Connor nodded as he turned and left the room. Gerald remained alone in the study room. He took out a piece of yellowish paper and tenderly touched it. …… North woke up early the next morning. Her senior year started today, so she had to report to Peacevale University. Little did she know she would get into trouble the moment she left. Royal Sights Residence was so huge that it took ages to walk out of the mansion area. If she took the same path, she would not make it on time. Nonetheless, North was embarrassed to ask Gerald’s driver to drive her there. North thought about it. In the end, she decided to run down and call a cab. Just then, she heard steady footsteps coming from the stairs. Gerald cast her a quick glance and giggled softly. “Ms. North, are you going to Peacevale University?” North was stunned. “How did you know?” She thought. “Darn it! I hope he’s not going to ask me weird questions again!” To her surprise, Gerald did not attempt to probe her. He pus
Melinda smirked. She tightened her hold on Eiger’s arm.She was the mistress, but it did not matter because everyone was giving her their blessings.Melinda gave Eiger a quick glance before feigning concern and saying, “Eiger, North lives on her own and doesn’t have a driver. It is almost 9 p.m., and she is still not here. I worry that—”Eiger frowned and said, “You don’t have to care about her. Her absence is none of your business. Even if she dropped out of college, you need not be concerned.”“That’s right, Melinda. Do you really think Eiger should pick her up? There is no way I will let that country bumpkin dirty his luxury car,” said Lilac. Lilac was furious as she had been kicked out of Dew Garden the day before, so she could not resist bad-mouthing North in front of everyone today. “That b*tch should know her place! Is she expecting to travel around in luxury cars? I think she’s only fit to take the bus!”Melinda shook her head helplessly and said, “Okay, Lilac, stop wi
Lilac seethed. “What did you just say?!”North looked up casually and said, “Peacevale University is one of the top universities in the country. Considering that the students here were enrolled from all over the nation, did you think that they are all from wealthy families?“Do you think experiencing luxury cars makes you a noble while those who don’t are cheap?”A lot of students lost their cool after hearing her words. She was right. Was she implying that they don’t deserve to live because they were ordinary?“I honestly didn’t expect the daughter from a family of brilliant artists to have such thoughts. The South family’s elders are the talented ones, not her! But she had the audacity to look down on other people here?”“Melinda didn’t refute when Lilac said those words just now. Does she also see us this way?”Melinda’s expression changed, and she said with gritted teeth, “Lilac, you’re exaggerating? Everyone is free to decide what to drive to college.”Eiger’s face did no
“Oh?” Gerald narrowed his eyes in suspicion. Would North remain silent and compromise when her spot was usurped? …The art contest concluded by afternoon.Eiger gave North a call and started giving her orders like a boss. “North, come to the art hall. Melinda has kindly invited you to the award ceremony. You wouldn’t want to upset my grandfather either, do you?”North scoffed and tightened her grip on her phone. After she came back to Peacevale, Mr. Ronald was the only elder who showed her kindness. She knew how much he cared about this award ceremony.Eventually, she got to her feet and headed in the direction of the art hall.“Apparently, Peacevale University and the South family organized the art competition, and Melinda will be the award presenter. I can see that Mr. Eiger adores her a lot. He even gave her the chance to stand on stage alongside well-known artists.” “So, even if North stole the show just now, it wouldn’t matter. In terms of talent, Melinda is way bette
