She forced herself to crack into a stiff smile that looked even uglier than a crying face. Then, she loosened her tight grip on the blanket and did nothing as the blanket slipped down from her body and walked out. Perhaps, due to her long-term fitness training, she had a superb figure. Her figure was slim, long, and graceful, which was different from the matchstick-like skinniness most girls had. However, she possessed the waist-to-hip ratio that was rarely seen among Asians. His gaze deepened
It was nearing 20 minutes past eight. The forum would begin this afternoon. There were still a lot of things left to do at the function, and Vivian figured that it was not the right time to wallow in sadness. Fortunately, she found a set of spare clothes in the room, so she got herself ready in a jiffy and then rushed to the venue. By the time she made it there, most of the students had already arrived. The classroom administrator was there as well, much to Vivian’s surprise. He leveled Vivian w
Truth be told, Vivian did not expect such an answer from Estelle. She felt even more sympathy for the young girl sitting in front of her. As if she saw the commiseration in Vivian’s eyes, she replied, “You don’t have to feel bad about me, Miss Carraway. I don’t think I’m a miserable child in any sense. Although I don’t have a mother, my grandmother is very good to me and I was everything to my father before he passed away. Both of them are the most precious treasure I’ve ever had in my life.”
“I’ve thought about making a police report,” Estelle replied, “But my grandmother said a piece of paper cannot be treated as evidence, and there’s nothing the police can do. Then, we thought about getting help from my dad’s colleague. However, before we could do anything, they came to us first. They demanded we hand my dad’s notebook over as they said that everything written in the notebook is confidential and that they needed to retrieve it.” “Then, why is it still here with you?” Vivian aske
Estelle looked at Vivian. Her mouth opened and closed a couple of times as she wanted to say something, but no words could come out. Vivian then continued, “Yes, I was the female victim.” Sympathy was instantly written all over Estelle’s face. However, she soon realized something, so she asked again, “What does this case have to do with Edward?” “Three months ago, a man that bore a striking resemblance to Sean Jackson approached me. He helped a student of mine to withdraw from my universit
After four rings, Edward picked up the call. Then, before he could utter a sound, Vivian hastily said in a hoary voice, “Liam.” As she expected, the man on the other side was taken aback, so he did not give any response. She continued to grumble in her nasal voice, “I’m feeling so terrible. My head hurts so bad right now that I think it’s gonna explode. I guess I’ve caught a cold. Can you do me a favor and bring me some medicine?”Her voice was getting fainter and fainter as she spoke. Before
“I was so freaked out and my mind was all over the place when I got the call from your colleague, so I didn’t dare to bother them in the middle of the night. However, you can’t sweep things like this under the rug and it's only a matter of time before they know that you're in the hospital. By the way, don’t expect me to cover up for you. I’d like to see what kind of excuses you're going to give to tackle Mom's nagging when she's here tomorrow," Liam said.As expected, Mrs. Carraway was both ang
She merely caught a cold. She did not contract any serious illness, yet she stayed in the hospital for several days straight. As a man with a brilliant mind, it was not difficult for him to see through her trick. Vivian knew she could not deceive him. As such, she did not bother to explain herself and outright admitted it. “You see everything beneath you. You don’t care what other people think about you, but that’s not possible for me. Do you know how embarrassed I was when I ran into my stude
