Chapter 1651

The four guys were all born in the same year, but their birthdays fell in different months. Those with earlier birth months had already hit twenty.Xander, the youngest of the pack, had his birthday in November. He still had a couple of months to go before leaving his teens behind.At twenty, these young guns were full of vigor, yet they possessed a maturity beyond their years. Among them, Xander, the youngest, was the most cool-headed and reserved.He glanced up at Ron and said in his usual calm tone, "Look, whatever your reasons for getting engaged to the girl, she's your fiancée now. You ought to treat her right."Ron agreed in principle, but he had his own game plan. "I'm not really planning to marry her. This engagement is going to be called off sooner or later. If I treat her too well, give her false hopes, it's going to hurt her more when we break it off."Ron's words seemed nice but felt pretty lame on deeper consideration.Lucas chimed in with a grin, "Ron, man, why woul

"Alright, let's drink up!" the group chorused.After the opening ceremony, Emma found that university life kicked into full gear.Emma was not naturally gifted, so to keep up, she had to hustle harder than her peers. Her daily grind was a simple but satisfying routine: classes, self-study, and tutoring gigs to make ends meet.But that day, right after class, her phone buzzed with a call from Jake, the butler of the Hagrid family.Jake's voice, as always, was stern and detached. "Emma, Ron's grandpa wants you and Ron over for dinner at the family estate tonight. Be ready by five; Jason will pick you up from campus."Emma was not keen on going, but she did not have much choice. "Got it," she replied obediently.Jake rattled off a few more instructions. Emma listened intently, taking notes on her phone's memo application. She could not afford any slip-ups; the last thing she needed was more trouble on her plate.After hanging up, Emma stared at her phone, her thoughts swirling like

In the tricky world of shadows and secrets, the guy knew that sometimes you had got to pretend not to see things, or you were asking for a world of hurt.Ron slid into the car, slamming the door shut. "Drive."Jason, obeying without a word, peeled out, starkly contrasting his usual behavior around Emma.As Ron's car disappeared into the distance, the guy who had opened the door for Ron earlier nudged Hugh. "Hey Hugh, guess what I just saw?"Hugh raised an eyebrow. "What's up?"The guy leaned in, his voice a whisper. "That knockout freshman girl, the one who gave the speech with Ron at the opening ceremony, she's in the car with him."Hugh gave a serious look. "Keep that under your hat. Don't let it slip to a third soul.""Wouldn't dream of it.""Good."But the guy could not help himself. "I'm just wondering, Ron has never been the dating type. How'd he suddenly get cozy with this year's fresh face? Maybe no one ever caught his eye before, and now this South Floriveran beauty h

"Let's go," Deborra said with a smile, but her eyes showed malicious intent....Emma quietly moved to the left, almost leaning her body against the car door.On the other hand, Ron sat nonchalantly; it seemed he was not affected by Emma's presence.The school and the Hagrid residence were in opposite directions. It was rush hour now, so the traffic was bad.Ron impatiently asked, "Why is today's dinner so important?"The driver cautiously replied, "I'm not sure. I'm only responsible for driving."Ron responded, "You don't eat?"The driver was speechless.Ron, annoyed, pulled his shirt collar before taking out his phone and texting in a group chat: [Anyone up for a game?]Hugh quickly replied to Ron with a voice message: [Sure, I've been waiting for you.]Then, Ron started playing the game.He was not wearing earphones. Therefore, the game sounds and his conversation with his friends filled the car. Emma was irritated by it.After some mental preparation, Emma finally gath

Emma could not read Rebekah; she did not know if Rebekah truly meant what she said.However, even if Rebekah was not being genuine, Emma was happy that she treated her kindly. "Mrs. Hagrid, Ron treats me very well."She spoke up for Ron, but he did not appreciate it at all. "Who treats you well? It's just the three of us here; who are you acting for?"Emma was speechless. 'Okay, I was being a busybody. From now on, I won't speak up for him again.'"Little brat, Emma was defending you. You're so ungrateful." Rebekah remained calm. She held Emma with one hand and grabbed Ron with the other. "You can't talk like this in front of your grandfather."Ron remained silent.Rebekah then turned to Emma and said, "Ron has a sharp tongue but a soft heart. Don't be angry at him."'I dare not be angry at him,' Emma thought before responding, "Okay."...There was not anything significant today.The Hagrid family had a rule: every three months, regardless of where the family members were or

"We're a respectable family. We don't depend on performing for a living. You don't need to practice musical instruments," Amanda said before letting go of Emma's hand and touching her waist. "Your waist is quite nice."Then, Amanda moved her hand downward and patted Emma's buttocks as she said, "Your butt is firm and perky; you're truly a rare beauty."Amanda seemed as if she was checking out a high-quality item. With so many people watching, Emma's eyes turned red from being humiliated.Emma glanced at Ron, who was also staring at her, for help. But he did not intend to help her; he was enjoying the situation.Emma had always known no one would help her but herself. 'Why did I still make such a mistake?' she thought before saying, "Amanda..."Amanda responded, "To women, hands are just as important as our faces. Having a pretty face and a nice body figure isn't enough; you must also take good care of your hands. You should think about what men like..."Emma forcefully pushed Ama

Philip poked Ron with his cane and said, "Today, for the sake of Andrew and Emma, I won't argue with you. If you make outrageous remarks again, I won't recognize you, who only knows how to anger me, as my grandson."Ron smiled. "So, Grandpa, you allow her to bully me but don't allow me to fight back?"Philip wished he could hit Ron with the cane.As Philip had mentioned Emma just now, she, who had stepped aside, had to step forward to greet Philip. "Hi, Grandpa!""Hello." Philip smiled and waved to Emma. "Come closer, let me have a good look at you."Emma quickly moved closer to Philip.Philip held her and looked at her. "Why do I feel like you've lost quite a bit of weight compared to last month? Tell me, is it because Ron hasn't been taking good care of you?"Emma could feel that Philip had no bad intent; he was genuinely concerned about her.So, she did not want him to worry about her. She replied, "Ron has been taking good care of me. He gives me the best food and necessiti

Emma did not want to sit beside Philip at all. But since he asked her, she could not refuse.She wished she could sit at the farthest seat to stay unnoticed.However, she understood that as long as she remained Ron's fiancée, she could not avoid the spotlights.Rebekah, who was sitting close to Emma, took some food for her. "Emma, eat more and quickly gain some weight. If your parents find out you've lost weight, they'll surely worry."Emma replied, "Thank you, Mrs. Hagrid."Emma addressing Rebekah as Mrs. Hagrid seemed acceptable, but to the other people at the scene, it was a mistake.Anthony said, "Emma, you're engaged to Ron, and you still address her as Mrs. Hagrid—that seems a bit odd, doesn't it?"With Philip backing Emma, Rebekah confidently responded, "Youngsters nowadays are shy. As long as she respects me, I don't mind how she addresses me. As long as she feels comfortable."Kerry spoke in support of Rebekah, "Anthony, Rebekah doesn't mind how she was addressed, so w

Amanda looked at Rebekah and said, "You're truly cunning. I'm nothing compared to you.""Amanda, don't go throwing dirt on others. You know very well what you and your family have done over the years." Rebekah became more and more emotional as she continued, "If I find out that Gary's death is related to you all, I'll make sure you have to mourn for the loss of your child just like I did."In life, one of the most tragic things was when a parent lost their child.Amanda was agitated as soon as she heard that. "What did you say? I dare you to repeat it."Rebekah stared at Amanda coldly. "Do I need to make myself any clearer?"Amanda could not hold back her anger. "Your son was a jinxed soul. He made money but couldn't enjoy the wealth. Don't involve my son in this matter."No mother could tolerate hearing their child being called a jinxed soul.Rebekah, not caring about maintaining a proper demeanor, slapped Amanda in the face hard. "Amanda Beckwith, take back what you just said,

Kerry continued saying, "Ron and Emma are young and healthy; there shouldn't be any issues with conception. Once Emma gets pregnant, it'll definitely be a boy, it won't be a girl..."As soon as Rebekah heard that, she immediately knew what Kerry meant. "Is this really a good idea? After all, whether it's a boy or a girl, they're Ron's child."Kerry replied, "If you want to achieve great things, you must be willing to sacrifice some less important things. If you can't make tough decisions even in a situation like this, you'll have to watch as Hagrid Corporation falls into the hands of Anthony and Bernard. And you'll never find out the real cause of Gary's death."Kerry paused, before emphasizing each word, "Unless you don't want to know the truth about Gary's death."Rebekah wanted to know about the truth so much that she had almost gone crazy from thinking about it. She responded, "All right, I'll listen to you. I must find out the cause of Gary's death and bring him justice."Ker
