Madam? The way they addressed Jasmine amused me.She was so enraged at hearing the word "Madam" that her face contorted, and her dress hems began to shake a little."Who are you guys? You have no right to meddle in my business! Go away! Don't cause trouble for yourselves! Or you'll know the consequences!"She gave off an air of superiority and disdainfully drove away the students who were trying to be just.However, it wasn't easy to bully Jesselton College's students."Well, we're obviously inferior to those who aspire to be mistresses. Who are you then, Madam? Please don't disturb us. You're quite rude.""That's right, Madam. Mr. White and Ms. Luna are deeply in love. Disgusting people like mistresses can't get between them. Even if Mr. White is looking for a mistress, he'll find someone young and beautiful. He won't find an old woman. His taste isn't that bad."Jasmine's face was livid. When she was about to speak, a disposable cup filled with beer flew out of nowhere and bru
Colin was even more evil than Winston. He didn't come forward to deal with the troubles he caused. Instead, he chose to remain hidden and let me and his students handle the battlefield.What a terrible guy!"Shut up! Do you know who you are talking to? Do you want to die?" Gavin roared in a rare outburst.He was tall enough and had a loud voice, yet his words made no sense. We lived in a society with unwavering laws, freedom of speech, and equality for all.Were they going to disregard the law by killing someone due to humiliation? Did they believe having money would grant them the freedom to do as they pleased?"Sir, you must be over hundreds of years old. Have you been living in a tomb? Do you realize how long ago the Middle Ages were?"Gavin was well-trained and didn't argue with the girl who was talking. He only rolled his eyes irritatedly and didn't answer it. He should have realized that he had gone too far and couldn't continue to push the issue."Get out of the way! I wa
Perhaps Jasmine was unwilling to accept that such an excellent person like Colin didn't belong to her. Despite my inferiority to her in life experience and financial strength, he was obsessed with me. That didn't convince Jasmine.In other words, she was accustomed to having all the good stuff. She wanted to possess everything. So, she made every effort to seize Colin regardless of the consequences.Everyone wanted to keep their pride, and so did she. She was born into a wealthy family and was used to being admired. However, students who were younger and of lower status than her were now criticizing her and addressing her as "madam". She was going to explode with rage.Maybe Jasmine hadn't been this furious since birth.Her elegant features quivered and contorted irregularly. Placing her right hand on her leg, she clenched the bright red skirt's hem into a myriad of tiny pleats.It seemed like it was time for her to take the next step.Jasmine wouldn't have made such a big deal o
I originally wanted Colin to wear a suit, but he said it was only a gathering. The participants were all his students. Dressing too formally would be too proper and serious, affecting everyone's mood.After careful consideration, I thought he was right. So, he donned pants and a basic T-shirt with milky white sneakers. With good-looking facial features and black hair, he looked youthful.His attractiveness drew Jasmine in. She was fascinated, as if her eyes could no longer accommodate anything else.However, her attitude infuriated me. No matter how crazy she was, she shouldn't fail to grasp the meaning of his words.Her expression and emotions fluctuated several times within a few minutes.Jasmine's rationale soon returned. She looked pitifully at Colin, revealing her frail side through tears. She buried her face as though she'd been wronged a great deal. "Colin, I just want to celebrate your birthday. How can you bear to let them bully me? You disappointed me. I'm so sad."I co
"Colin, is it wrong to love you? I just fell in love with you. You shouldn't treat someone who likes you so cruelly."I had no idea whether Jasmine was heartbroken or couldn't take his remarks. She started to cry with her head down.Colin's expression didn't soften because of her words. He was silent for a while before saying firmly, "Loving the wrong person can cause irreparable damage. Please keep your love. I can't afford it, let alone need it."He was conveying that he would never love her in this life and she should stop wasting her efforts.Jasmine probably didn't expect Colin to speak so firmly. She turned pale. Her eyes, which had never revealed sincerity, were filled with sadness and disappointment.Tears streamed silently down her cheeks.After Colin finished speaking, he turned around and wanted to sit down."Colin White, I saved your life. How are you going to repay me?"Her sentence was like a hammer, striking my heart accurately and causing a fatal dull pain.Co
That night, Colin took a shower and lay silently in bed. When I got out of the shower and climbed into bed, he held me in his arms. Instead of kissing and hugging me like he did in the past, he patted my back and coaxed me to sleep.After having so much fun, I was also tired. It was rare to have such a quiet night, so I soon fell asleep.In a daze, I heard his faint sigh. I also sighed slightly, even when I was half asleep.He was worried, and so was I. However, we didn't say anything to avoid directing our frustrations at each other.We were willing to go through hardships together. That was what love should be like.We were both adults and loved each other deeply. We both wanted to be each other's support.Jasmine was scheming and could plan anything. Colin had rejected her again in front of many people, causing her to lose her dignity. With her personality, she wouldn't return without retaliation.If she sought revenge, the condition Colin agreed to would serve as her weapon.
After Jasmine left, our lives became more pleasant and peaceful. Our time, space, and happiness had all increased, and even the sky was exceptionally blue.Having removed the external influences, Colin embarked on new research projects and started a new round of busy work. Every time he returned late, he would lie close and apologize softly in my ear, telling me that he was working hard to make money.He said he would quit his job and stay with me all the time when we had enough money for a baby's milk powder and future pension money. He would do my laundry and prepare my meals. I'd only need to be responsible to keep my beauty.I wanted to tell him he was so much more attractive than me that he appeared out of reach.I soon immersed myself in my studies and Tudor-style projects. I also made time to discuss with Winston and the others about their upcoming competition and cheer them on.Although I didn't participate in the competition, it was an honor for the team I led to win the
The incident back then was troublesome. Many people in their circle knew me, and countless of them despised me.Matthew's mother, Brenda, and Helen's mother, Georgina, were the worst. My argument with them in college made me famous.In fact, I never wanted to fit into their world, let alone be mocked and despised. Their world didn't appeal to me. I wasn't going to make a fool of myself. I had pride in choosing my way of living.Moreover, Georgina and Brenda were in cahoots with each other. If I showed up at the wedding, they would most likely misunderstand that I wanted to snatch the bride on the spot. I couldn't afford such unfounded slander.However, Matthew and Helen were both close friends of mine. I would give them my sincere blessings.After I ended the chat with her, I noticed Matthew's avatar on the main WhatsApp page flashing dazzlingly.From the day I made things clear to him, I had blocked all his contact information and social accounts.Later, because of Felix's affa
