Emma knew Ron did that on purpose, but she could not say it. Ron had specifically warned her not to reveal their relationship just after she got out of the car.She said, "He's from a different world than ours. Don't overthink it."As she walked, Madeleine kept looking back toward where Ron had disappeared. "Emma, I'm so jealous that Deborra has a guy like Ron—so loyal and good-looking."Emma replied, "You'll find the right one too."Madeleine sighed. "I'm not as pretty as Deborra, not as smart, and definitely not as well-off. How could I ever land a guy better than Ron?"Emma said, "What's best for you is what matters. A guy is more than his background—it's about character and shared values."Madeleine replied, "But I still like them handsome and wealthy."Their path was suddenly blocked by the same girl who looked for Emma a few days earlier."Hey Emma, come with me." She demanded.Emma knew without asking that it had to be something about Deborra, but she had a class to cat

Deborra believed Emma had discovered through Ron that she was not actually his girlfriend. Thus, Deborra was convinced that Emma's words were solely to provoke her.Unable to stomach that attitude, Deborra shot a look at Lauren and said, "Handle it."Lauren Jordan, Deborra's sidekick, stepped forward with her arm poised to strike Emma.Luckily, Emma was quick, catching Lauren's incoming hand. "What do you think you're doing?"Both were taken aback by her unexpected display of strength, having always seen Emma as delicate and fragile.Lauren glanced at Deborra, who signaled her to back off. Left alone with Emma, Deborra's gaze was icy. "Do you believe I can get you kicked out of Valtara University?"Emma bit her lip, defiantly glaring back at Deborra.Deborra, smirking, said, "A mere flick of my finger, and it's more than expulsion from Valtara University. I can ensure your departure leaves a lasting impression, making you infamous."Emma, not one to stir trouble yet no fool eit

Emma was exasperated. "Evelyn, Cassie, can you release me? I'm capable of walking on my own."Evelyn retorted. "If we let go of you, you'll bolt."Emma's hands were restrained; otherwise, she would have raised them in a pledge. "I'll go with you; I promise I won't run."Evelyn countered. "I hope we can trust your promise."Emma said, "You can trust me. Can you let go of me now?"They finally released Emma.Evelyn then said, "Emma, you don't look like you're short on cash. Why this constant focus on making money? Life is fleeting, gone in an instant. We must enjoy our youth; it's not a waste to have some fun."Cassie agreed. "Evelyn is spot on. Money is endless, work is endless after graduation. College is our last chance to be carefree. Don't waste it all on making money."Emma kept quiet, thinking to herself, 'I have to fend for myself, unlike Evelyn and Cassie, who are pampered with monthly allowances from their parents. I need to be strong to live the life I want as I have n

Evelyn said, "This water is for your crush. If you spot a hunky senior you like, go ahead, and give him the water. If he takes it, it's a sure sign he's into you too."Emma had a lightbulb moment. "I get it now." But then, she tilted her head back and gulped down the entire bottle in one go.Evelyn was nearly fuming. "You got it, so why the heck did you drink it? And in one gulp? What about your image?"Emma retorted. "Because I'm not into guys."Cassie chimed in. "Don't speak too soon. Wait till you see dozens of buff and hot seniors oozing charm and pheromones. I bet you'll find someone you like."As they were talking, the loudspeaker blared. "Everybody, take your seats, our athletes are about to make their grand entrance.""Ah..."The cheers from the girls hit a fever pitch as the athletes started marching in, loud enough to almost rip the sky open.The announcer boomed, "Entering now, the Chucklewood University basketball team."The basketball players were towering giants,

As soon as Emma heard Deborra's name, she looked up and saw her across the court in the front row.Deborra seemed to be watching Emma. When their eyes met, Deborra quickly shifted her gaze back to Ron on the court, her look clearly smitten.Emma's curiosity spiked as she tried to imagine Ron with the girl he was into, but she could not picture it.Soon after the preparations, the game started.Ron was in the starting lineup. Less than two minutes in, he nailed a three-pointer from downtown. Emma was not much of a basketball buff, but the thunderous applause made it obvious—Ron's shot was spectacular.Evelyn and the other two were jumping for joy. "Holy smokes, Ron is freaking amazing. Too bad the heartthrob is already taken. Otherwise, I'd definitely be running over to give him a drink later."Cassie laid it out. "Even if Ron was on the market, he wouldn't give us the time of day."Evelyn asked, "How so?"Cassie explained, "When all the other players walked in, their eyes were

Ron's look was complicated and dark; Emma was startled, quickly ducking her head to avoid his stare.An empty water bottle struck Emma out of nowhere. She jerked her head up, locking eyes with Ron as expected. His lips moved slightly as if to say, "Lift your head, don't be a coward."Emma straightened up immediately, chest out, sitting upright.Cassie returned at that moment, clutching a bottle, after evidently failing to deliver water. Ron shifted his gaze away. Cassie caught the moment Ron looked away, then glanced at Emma."Ah, Emma, was Ron just looking at you?""No. Don't start rumors," Emma replied.Cassie sighed. "What a pity!"The halftime break was quickly over. Some players were substituted, but Ron was still on the field. He shone the brightest, tireless, scoring more than anyone else.The whole crowd was cheering for him, and by the end of the game, Ron had gathered a bunch of new fans. The whole place was chanting Ron's name.Before anyone knew it, the game was ov

The guy asked, "You got someone special?"Emma replied, "Nope."Hearing that, the guy breathed a sigh of relief. He thought that as long as Emma was not interested in someone else, he still had a chance. He believed that he just needed to lay on the charm, keep being Mr. Nice Guy, and eventually, she would see it.Suddenly, Cassie gave Emma a hard nudge. "Emma."Emma shot her a puzzled look. "What's up?"The guy's gaze drifted to Cassie as a silent plea etched into his eyes.Under his intense gaze, Cassie's resolve hardened, and her cheeks flushed. "Emma, maybe don't shoot him down so fast. Think it over back at the dorm?"Eden felt a lifeline was thrown his way. "Emma, my name is Eden McCann, senior in the Archaeology Department.""Nice to meet you, Eden," Emma replied politely.Eden launched into his pitch. "People say archaeology is a dead end, but it's my passion, and it promises a steady future. I'm a Valtara local, an only child. We're not rolling in dough, but my folks

Ron ignored Deborra and continued walking. He moved with long strides, each step almost double that of Deborra's, forcing her to sprint to catch up. "Ron."Ron was visibly annoyed when Deborra blocked his way. "What is it?"Deborra pulled out her smartphone and opened a video. "Look at this."Although Ron initially showed no interest in the video on her phone, the sound of Emma's voice and Eden's confession of love to Emma in the video caught his attention.He glanced at it; unlike the typical reactions of blushing or shyness, Emma's expression was taut, intensely serious. It was kind of cute, in its own way.He raised an eyebrow. "What are you trying to tell me?"Deborra could not guess what he was thinking and was cautious not to make her words too harsh. "I know Emma is the fiancée your grandfather chose for you, but others don't know that. It's normal for them to confess to her."Ron gave her a cold look. "I'm close with your brother, not so much with you. 'Ron' isn't a name

Joshua said, "Hugh, Ron, don't worry. I've got this. She won't be a problem anymore, Ron."Hugh responded, "Yeah, keep her in line. She's the belle of our university. She's got to maintain some dignity."With that, Hugh and Ron walked away.Once they were alone, Hugh mentioned the game's theme song search. "I heard you're still hunting for the perfect theme song for your game. What exactly are you looking for?"Ron replied, "Something that matches the game's vibe, something that makes you want to play the game the moment you hear it."Hugh pondered for a moment. "You've been approaching famous musicians; their music is top-notch, but they might not necessarily be gamers. Your game seems to be popular among college students. Why not scout for talent on college campuses?"Ron nodded. "The marketing department is already on it."Hugh, a bit deflated, said, "I thought I had a brilliant idea to contribute, hoping I could share in the credit. Turns out you're already steps ahead. I ca

Chapter 1680

Emma was a maestro of several musical instruments, holding internationally recognized certifications that made her hourly tutoring rate soar above the average. By teaching just two classes a day, each an hour long, she earned more than many who toiled in conventional jobs.The two hours of lessons might appear insignificant, but teaching children required mental stamina that left Emma feeling somewhat exhausted after each session.Therefore, she looked for a third job that would be physically rather than mentally exhausting. She still needed to reserve energy for her studies. Earning money was crucial, as was her education. Failing a course was not an option for her.By the time her classes ended, it was already nine at night. But in Valtara, it was hardly late.Just then, a message from Evelyn popped up: [Are you done with classes?]Emma replied: [Yes, just finished.]Evelyn quickly sent over a location before texting: [Cassie and I are already here. Hurry over. Also, let us kno
