Chapter 1321

It was a silent admission to Cecilia’s question. Noel was indeed the boss of this restaurant. Cecilia nodded. “It’s probably him.”Now that she thought about it, what she said to Noel earlier along the corridor probably sounded like a joke to him. “How evil could he be?” Cecilia snarled, angrier than she was before.Even her heart was thumping madly, rising to her throat. She felt embarrassed, amidst mixed feelings.Diana became increasingly confused. “How is he cruel? Did your chat with Noel not go well? You didn’t reconcile with him?”Reconcile?Cecilia sneered, then looked at Fanny. “You’re more familiar with business. How much money do you think is needed to open a restaurant like this?”“From investment to promotion, which is akin to going from zero to one, which includes rent, renovation, various materials and prepayment of labor, it’s around 1.5 million.”1.5 million.What a familiar figure.Cecilia turned to look at Diana. “He took 1.5 million from my family to

Diana burst out laughing at Cecilia’s question.“Would you believe me if I said that I don’t know?”Cecilia was stunned for a moment. “You dared to get pregnant again before thinking things through? Doesn’t the internet advise you not to get pregnant before you think things through? What’s more, you’re carrying twins. Are you really prepared to have four children all of a sudden?”“Actually, sometimes, being muddleheaded is pretty good,” Diana said. She glanced at Cecilia before slowly shifting her gaze to Fanny. “Being muddleheaded certainly feels better than thinking through every single thing.“Sometimes, being happy is the most important thing in life.“Thinking too much and too clearly often makes you obsessed.“That would in turn make you feel less happy.“What’s more…“Who could be prepared for everything in life? “When you can accept something, you’ll be able to wait for it to happen naturally.”Cecilia looked confused as she listened to Diana. Many of her life philo

“What misunderstanding could there be?”Cecilia didn’t believe in that. “No one would reject money. The 1.5 million my mom offered him allowed him to open such a huge Japanese restaurant in all its glory.“Even if it wasn’t used to pay for this restaurant, he could buy himself a small house in a decent district.“Whatever it is, he can certainly put this 1.5 million to good use.“Those from poor families always need a lot of money to be with people like us.”She ate up the caviar in one bite and wiped her mouth, stopping Diana from saying anything as she went on, “If anyone thinks there’s ever too much money, then there would be no need for Fulcher Inc. to continue running.“Even if Fulcher Inc. closed its doors, you and Julian can retire with money that can’t be spent even over ten lifetimes.“But will Julian want that?“No one will give up a fortune right before them.”Not to mention Noel, who came from a humble background and became who he was now through much hard work.

“He’s just a poor loser who found success in this city, and is trying to climb the social ladder by sticking to my family. I’ll never give him the chance!” Cecilia yelled.Diana fell silent. Noel was not someone like that.He wasn’t poor right now, either. The various investments he made and the bonuses he earned were equivalent to the profits of a middle-size company in the market.Rather than a poor man who found success in the city, he could be considered a golden bachelor.Cecilia’s face darkened with displeasure.If Diana went on with the topic, not only would Cecilia refuse to listen, but she might also detest Noel even more.“Please don’t misunderstand,” Diana said gently as she held Cecilia’s hand, trying to resolve the misunderstanding with utmost sincerity. “I do want to mediate things between you and Noel, but I genuinely want to be your friend, too.“If you really don’t think that there’s any misunderstanding between you and Noel, and you really don’t want to be with

He was like a robot always on standby, ready in his best condition to double down and work.Yet, this time, he looked so distracted.Sometimes, even when there was a commotion outside, Noel would continue standing rooted to the spot in a daze, as if he didn’t hear anything at all.Seeing him so unlike himself, Diana sighed. She decided to let Julian talk to Noel. Julian’s words carried more weight to Noel. Noel might heed his counsel, and give himself and Cecilia another chance.Julian disagreed, however. Diana out, he analyzed the situation for her. “He wouldn’t listen to me. You don’t understand. Firstly, his pride has suffered a beating. Secondly, he felt like he was let down for trusting her.”The problem between him and Cecilia wasn’t going to be easily resolved.“Noel’s probably going to feel down for a period. The Jarvises clearly have a hand in this, in an attempt to stop them from being together.”New problems would arise even after resolving this misunderstanding. Wh

He looked at the “chief”, who was fast asleep.Everyone else in the dorm was asleep.Sean stepped out of bed, and carefully walked down the metal stairs.All was silent.Sean’s feet finally touched the ground.He walked on tiptoes to the bed of Leonard Mason, whom everyone saw as the chief of the dorm, and secretly pulled out a small packet of pills from above his pillow.The pills inside were black.Sean put it to his nose, and took a whiff. It smelled surprisingly sweet and refreshing, unlike the bitterness that he had in mind.Each time he saw people in the dorm eat the pills, they would furrow their brows. No matter what the pill’s ingredients may be, Sean was convinced that whoever ate them would become stronger and more powerful during their training.Tomorrow was the start of a new match.He wanted to try and see if the pill really had such an effect.Thus, he chose to seize the chance in the middle of the night while everyone was asleep to throw the pills into the

Archery was a sport Sean really liked.But…“You can’t even pull a bow, and you want to compete?”“Not just that. He’s barely as tall as the bow!”“What is he doing here, trying to act tough at his age?”“I heard there’s some nepotism involved. He’s just here to try things out. He won’t stay for long.”Everyone at the competition murmured under their breaths, mocking him.They wondered how rich his family had to be to send him into the training camp to pick up skills necessary for a successor at such a young age.“Which family could it be? Leonard knows every rich and powerful family there is in Richburgh, but we’ve never seen him talk to this kid.”“Yeah, and his surname’s Winnington.“I’ve asked around. Among the Winningtons, there’s no one called Sean.” Everyone looked at Sean in disdain, as rumors about his origins started spreading.The training camp itself was a mimic of society. It was filled with relationships, networks and social hierarchies. Oliver never steppe

The target board fell to the ground with a crash.Everyone’s attention was drawn to Leonard, and they cheered, “He must have scored 10 points again!”“Exactly! Leonard always comes out on top in every match. No surprises there!”Leonard was the only one who knew how badly his heart was shaking. He only…had one pill left.He didn’t take any today, and he clearly felt weaker and less focused than usual. Toward the end… At his last shot, when the arrow left the bow, the impact was so strong that his feet shifted and he lost his balance.Thankfully, he had a good foundation and could keep his feet grounded. He didn’t end up embarrassing himself.Otherwise, his reputation would have been tarnished.If the Mason family back in Jacroaof were to hear about it, they would definitely find him useless and take him back home.If that happened, there would be no place for him in the family—a boy whose mother had died, and whose father got bewitched by another woman and remarried.Leona

That definitely had something to do with the pills. Sean didn’t care about others. He only cared about Leonard.Defeating Leonard was akin to defeating everyone else in the training camp.Knowing oneself and one’s enemy guarantees success all the time. Sean was now certain that Leonard couldn’t succeed without those pills. He needed to find out where those black pills came from.This potentially involved all the rich heirs of reputable families across Rich burgh and even the whole of Jacroaof. How many of them relied on those pills? The answer to that would reveal the pills’ effectiveness.However, Sean never expected to stumble upon a shocking discovery.Those black pills came from the Hughes family of Jacroaof!Almost half of the members of the training camp were taking them. They were almost as expensive as high-end drugs.Could something with such an explosive effect considered medicine? Sean grew increasingly worried.On a rainy night, Sean saw Leonard take the black

He tickled Diana under her arm, making her feel itchy.She couldn’t hold back her laughter. She launched a counterattack, wanting to make Julian regret it.He chuckled along with her.The lightning and thunder outside seemed less threatening with the peals of laughter sounding from their villa. Diana started feeling tired and slumped against Julian’s torso, rubbing her stomach and panting.“Take a rest,” Julian said, pulling her back to the bed and making her lie down. He pulled her legs onto his lap, and massaged it out of habit as he comforted her gently, “It’s getting late. You can’t forego sleep just because it’s raining.”Diana was getting a little tired.Julian was getting increasingly better at massage. Very soon, she felt sleepy.Just when she was about to fall asleep…Bam!Loud thunder sounded.Diana’s eyes popped wide open, as if she had witnessed a scary scene. She sat bolt upright and yelled, “Sean!”Uneasiness spread across her heart.Her forehead broke out in
