Eden looked at the other teachers nonchalantly. "Should I continue with chemistry next?""It's fine. I believe that you didn't cheat," the chemistry teacher said and left with his exam papers.Clearly, she wasn't cheating or copying. She was simply hiding her talents.They had already been humiliated twice at this point. If he were to ask her to do the chemistry test again, he would get them all humiliated a third time. He couldn't afford to get humiliated like this!Jordan was also quite surprised by the result, but he quickly nodded with a smile. "No wonder!"No wonder Samuel didn't even ask what happened and wanted Eden to stay. She was the treasure of Riverside Senior High.Even though Eden's math wasn't anything impressive, from the looks of it, she wouldn't have a problem joining Rielton University.When the thought crossed Jordan's mind, he suddenly turned to Miriam and asked with a stony tone, "Are there any other questions, Ms. Miriam?"Miriam's face was flushed. She h
Morning, during Albanese class.Miriam entered the classroom and started her lesson immediately.Eden, seated at the back, stood up and narrowed her eyes. "Ms. Miriam, did you forget something?"Miriam looked at her awkwardly. "I have an excellent memory. What could I have forgotten?""You seem to have forgotten about our wager," Eden said with a cold expression, a glint in her eyes."You must be joking!" Miriam blurted out, laughing. "I am a teacher. Why would I bet against you students? Eden, don't think you can do whatever you want just because you’re ranked second in the entire year group. I'm still your teacher."Eden's lips widened into a smile. "Looks like you will not honor your part of the wager, then?"Miriam looked away and didn't continue the conversation.Eden smiled coldly. "That's fine. It's understandable for a teacher with no ethics to refuse to honor her part of the deal. You don't have to apologize, but the dance studio is ours. Class 1 can forget about using
Jasmine clenched her fists tightly. The wrath in her eyes was apparent.How did that country girl get second place in the entire senior year?How did all the students from Class 3-18 enter the top 50?How?Just how?She had always been the best. But as soon as Eden appeared, she lost everything.She lost her fiancé.She lost her title as the school belle.She lost the popularity contest.Now, she even lost academically.How could Eden have the upper hand so easily, no matter what she did?There was a glint in Jasmine's eyes. This time, she would personally take everything back.Night.Alain picked Eden up and took her home.They didn't eat out that night but had the private chef prepare a meal and deliver it to Skygarden.Ever since Alain found out that Eden was malnourished, he had asked the chef to prepare a few more dishes, hoping to help her nourish her body.They had just started eating their dinner when Jasmine came back.Seeing Alain and Eden having dinner, she
The light in Alain's bedroom was turned on.Alain and Eden looked at Jasmine coldly, their faces expressionless."How do you want to deal with this?" Alain asked, holding Eden in his arms, his voice hoarse.If Eden hadn't smelled something wrong with the water Jasmine poured for them and texted him, he would have ended up sleeping with Jasmine.The Hunt family was quite impressive, producing such a vicious daughter who would sacrifice her innocence to reach her goal."You can do as you like," Eden replied. She had no feelings for the Hunts and didn't want to interfere with how Alain handled this."Then tell Catherine to pick her up immediately."Alain called Caelus before calling Catherine.An hour later, everyone from the Hunts was gathered there.Alain and Eden sat on the sofa, looking at the Hunts without much expression. They said nothing.However, Catherine's heart skipped a beat under Alain's stare. She calmed herself before bowing respectfully. "I wonder why you've gat
Catherine snorted at Jasmine. "You're just like your mother, unable to survive without a man. You and your family won't stop until you ruin the Hunt family, will you?"Jasmine was getting a headache from being bombarded repeatedly. She turned to ask Melinda what happened, but all she saw was a man lying next to her. Her eyes instantly widened."Ah!"Jasmine screamed.The man, who had been fast asleep, woke up. He looked at the Hunts curiously and asked, "Who are you? Why are you in my room?"He then turned and looked at Jasmine, holding her in his arms. "Hey, babe. You’re asking others to watch us perform live because you didn't get enough last night?"The man gave her a sincere smile. "I didn't expect you to be so open."Jasmine pushed him away in a panic, punching and kicking as she screamed, "Who are you? What did you do to me?"She was like an enraged lioness, fury visible in her eyes.The man was stunned for a moment before retorting, "What's wrong with you? You called me
"No! I didn't!" Jasmine screamed.She had only…Added some aphrodisiac to Alain's glass of water.And added some knockout drugs to Eden's glass of water."No?" Alain stood up and slowly walked toward Jasmine, peering down at her. "We've already analyzed the presence of toxins in the water you poured for us. Do you want to read the test report?"Jasmine looked at Alain in shock. "Impossible. I only added some aphrodisiacs and sedatives to the drinks. They're not poisonous.""So, you acknowledge that you spiked the drinks?" Alain's tone turned icy, and his demeanor became hostile.Jasmine was so scared by his demeanor that she stepped back. But very quickly, she regained her composure and crawled over to grab Alain's pants. She begged, "I'm... I'm so sorry... It's just that I love you too much. I’ve never thought about committing murder, and I wouldn't commit murder. Please forgive me, Alain. I won't do it ever again."She finally understood that it wasn't Eden behind this.It w
Caelus drove the car back to Skygarden.Since it was a bit of a drive, Eden closed her eyes.After a while, Caelus suddenly slammed on the brakes. Eden lurched forward but managed to keep her balance and avoid falling.She frowned and was about to speak when Caelus said seriously, "We have a problem, Ms. Griffith. Please stay in the car."Caelus got out of the car.Only then did Eden see a group of men surrounding the vehicle, each armed with a steel pipe.She narrowed her eyes.But since Caelus had asked her to stay inside, she decided to follow his instructions.Though she had never seen Caelus fight, Eden knew he was strong and should be able to handle a gang of goons.She watched as Caelus tried to negotiate with them for a moment before the situation escalated into a fight.Caelus was skilled, but…Not far away, dozens of vans pulled up, and a large group of gangsters approached.Caelus frowned and quickly returned to the car. "Ms. Griffith, drive. I'll handle this."
Eden turned around with a cold glint in her eyes. A needle appeared in her hand, and she flicked it out with a quick motion.In that instant, a shrill sound cut through the air.The needle intercepted the bullet, causing both to fall to the ground.Eden moved swiftly, grabbing the man by his collar. Her voice was as cold as winter's breath. "Where did you get the gun?"The man gritted his teeth. "You're dead! Our boss won't let you get away with this! The Aradias serve Boss Griffith."The man was Darren Brown, one of Solus' more resourceful subordinates.He knew Solus' temper well after having served him for so long.Initially, Solus merely wanted to vent his anger on Eden. But now? Eden had to die.That was Solus' rule. That was the underworld's rule.Eden tightened her grip on him, her demeanor chilling. "Tell your people to come here. All of them."Darren didn't expect her to be so bold. "You asked for it."He didn’t wait and quickly dialed Solus’ number.It took less th
