Emma asked, "So, what are you asking?"Ron said, "Didn't your family teach you to fight back when bullied? Didn't they tell you that if you're too kind, people will take advantage of you?"Emma sniffed, her nose turning red, and shook her head. "No."As she was growing up, Emma was taught to endure and tolerate things. If she resisted, she would face various forms of punishment, including solitary confinement and physical abuse.Emma still vividly remembered a time from her childhood when Jadon Blue, her uncle Fredrinn Blue's son, had damaged her favorite stationery box. Fredrinn was Carl's younger brother.At that time, Emma was so angry that she pushed Jadon.She was not strong, and her push could not actually cause Jadon to fall. Unexpectedly, Jadon intentionally fell to the ground and started crying loudly. "She hit me, she hit me..."Jadon's cries quickly attracted the attention of the adults.Ally Bennett, Fredrinn's wife, cried and held Jadon. "Who hit you?"Jadon trium

Jadon said, "I feel better now."Fredrinn replied, "That's good. You can leave now. I have a few words for this little brat."Jadon responded, "Dad, I have something to say to her too."Fredrinn replied, "Go ahead."Jadon stepped forward, crouched beside Emma, and covered his nose with his hand because she smelled bad. "Will you dare to push me again in the future?"Emma stubbornly replied, "You broke my stationery box and you fell by yourself."Jadon said, "Dad, she still doesn't realize her mistake."Fredrinn moved forward and kicked Emma's back forcefully. "Little brat, my son could do more than just break your stationery case. Heck, he could bury you in a hole, and your parents wouldn't dare make a sound."Even though Fredrinn's hard kick caused Emma to curl up in pain, her spirit remained defiant. "I didn't do anything wrong; he did."At that moment, she still held hope, thinking that as long as she explained the situation properly, her parents would stand up for her and

After a while, the sound of water in the bathroom stopped.Then, Ron opened the bathroom door and came out with a towel wrapped tightly around him.He was young, and his physique was great.Emma, startled, instinctively covered her eyes. "U-Um, there's a sofa in the study area. Can I sleep there for tonight?"Ron replied, "There are clean clothes prepared for you in the cloakroom. Take a shower. I'm a germophobe; I don't want someone dirty sleeping in the same room as me."Emma lowered her hands and saw Ron's sturdy chest again. She quickly covered her eyes once more. "So, you agree to allow me to sleep on the sofa?"Ron responded, "I dislike people who talk too much."Emma understood him. "I'll go get washed."Emma then went to the cloakroom.The Hagrid family's servants were considerate. Not only did they prepare several sets of clean clothes for Emma, but they also provided her with sleepwear.The house was heated, so despite the freezing temperature outside, it was warm i

She whipped out her phone, intending to send a message to Rihanna, but found her inbox overflowing with unread texts—all from Rihanna.[I miss you.][The days drag on forever without you here.][Remember the flowers we planted last summer? They're shooting up. Bet they'll be blooming by the time you're back.][Can I start school early at Valtara?][Mom and Dad got into it today. They ended up throwing punches. Both got hurt.][Why aren't you replying? You're bailing on me too?]Emma quickly typed a response: [What are you talking about? Ditch you? Never. I've just got out of the shower and saw your messages. Replying right away.]Rihanna replied: [Scared me there. Thought you didn't want me anymore.]Emma typed: [You're my world, my number one. I'd never let you go. No way.]Rihanna wrote: [Emma...]Emma typed: [I wish I could bring you to Valtara sooner, but I don't have the ability yet. Give me some time, I'll figure something out. We'll make it happen.]One thing was cle

Emma and Rihanna talked for quite a while. The moment they hung up, Emma immediately fired up her banking app to check the balance in her account.Back in South Florivera, the Blues never gave her a dime for personal expenses. They would not let her take any part-time jobs either, fearing it would tarnish their family's reputation.Her bank account boasted a little over ten grand, every penny of which was earned from tutoring gigs since she landed in Valtara. In a small town, ten thousand bucks could stretch to cover a year's rent and living expenses if she played her cards right.But Valtara was a different beast. Sky-high living costs, exorbitant rents, and landlords demanding a year's lease upfront. Her savings would not even cover the rent, let alone support Rihanna when she arrived.Determined to bring Rihanna to Valtara sooner rather than later, Emma steeled herself. She decided to hustle harder, scouring for another part-time job to beef up her monthly earnings.With her mi

Emma and Ron both had a rough night, but luckily, their youth meant they showed little wear and tear when they woke up.Ron got ready in a flash and took off, while Emma had to wait her turn for the bathroom, which made her a bit late.Little did Emma know, as she stepped out the door, that she would run into Kerry. It seemed that Kerry had been waiting for her on purpose."Good morning, Aunt," Emma greeted.Kerry scrutinized Emma and noticed her rosy cheeks that seemed freshly pampered. "Did you sleep well last night?"Emma nodded. "Thanks for asking, I slept great."Kerry was not convinced. "Walk a bit, let me see."Emma, puzzled by Kerry's intent, complied obediently. She had barely taken two steps when Kerry asked in a sharp voice, "Did Ron touch you last night?"Startled, Emma widened her eyes and shook her head vigorously. "We're not married yet; he wouldn't dare."Kerry's temper flared. "If Ron's not making a move, why don't you take the initiative?"Emma stammered, "I

The words were a direct hit at Kerry. Kerry, unaccustomed to taking flak like this, seethed with rage. "Ron, you've become far too arrogant!"Ron looked up, his gaze icy. "Aunt, if you acted the part of an elder, I'd respect and love you. But you don't even respect yourself, failing to set a good example. How can you expect me to respect you?"Kerry retorted. "You're saying I fail to behave like an elder, but are you behaving like a younger one?"Ron shot back. "I'm still young, learning a lot from you elders. If you act like an elder. I'll act like the younger generation. If you don't, neither will I."Kerry was lost for words.Emma watched Ron with her eyes wide, fixated on him.She then realized that Ron was not just arrogant toward her and the people at school. Anyone who crossed him got the same haughty treatment. Like her, Ron was just a pawn in the family game. She had no choice but to swallow her pride, while he did whatever he pleased.Emma was eager to learn how he man

Glenn, clueless as ever, blurted out, "Ron, I thought you didn't like this girl. Why are you hanging onto her like she's your lifeline?"Audrey, sizing up Ron and Emma, said jealously, "Kid, you're clueless, aren't you? Looks like your grandpa is going to be a great-grandfather real soon."Emma was at a loss for words. She could not explain, nor did she feel the need to justify anything to these people.Ron said, "Good morning, everyone. Emma and I have classes this morning, so we'll skip breakfast. We're heading out." Without waiting for any nods of approval, he grabbed Emma's hand and they left.Ron played by his own rules, leaving everyone else without a clue how to handle him. Soon, the group resumed gossiping about Emma.Amanda scoffed. "And they say the Blue family is high society; doesn't their upbringing teach kids to greet their elders?"Anthony chimed in. "High society or not, not every kid raised in it has good manners."The back-and-forth became increasingly absurd u

"If it's too much trouble, just forget it," Emma said.Ron did not respond. He just turned and got into his car.Emma stood still, not daring to move. She had not even mustered the courage to ask for a ride to the university, only hoping he would take her out of the upscale neighborhood to catch public transport.In Valtara, cabs were a rip-off. Emma relied on buses or the subway, walking whenever possible to save every penny. Now, Ron would not even give her a lift out of the fancy neighborhood.But she figured it was no big deal. She would just run a bit faster. She believed skipping one class would not set her back too much.Ron called out, "What are you waiting for?"'Is he offering me a ride?' thought Emma, a surge of joy hitting her. She hurriedly opened the door and slid into the passenger seat of his sports car. It was a two-seater, so the passenger seat was her only option.Ron started the car and eased out of the driveway. Emma pulled up the map on her phone. There was

Emma swung the car door open and stepped out quickly. Ron spoke again, "Our marriage is heading for an annulment sooner or later. Try to keep it to yourself."Emma nodded. "Don't worry, I won't let anyone at the campus know about us."Ron paused, then said, "Even though we're going to annul it, you better not date anyone else until it's official. The Hagrids are big on saving face. I might not make a big deal out of it, but the Hagrids? They won't let it slide.""Thanks for the heads-up."Ron thought for a moment and then said, "Remember what I taught you yesterday. If I ever see someone picking on you again and you don't fight back, don't expect me to step in.""Got it."Ron averted his gaze, accelerated, and the car sped away rapidly. Emma was left far behind.Gathering her thoughts, Emma started to walk away when she heard someone calling her name from behind."Emma?"Emma turned around to see her dormmate, Madeleine. "Hey Madeleine, good morning!"Emma was not as acquaint
