Cielo promptly slapped Simon's head. "Where's your thank you?"Simon complied. "Thank you for showing mercy."Eden adjusted her cap and glanced at Simon. "Wait in your ward tonight."Upon hearing this, Cielo bowed to Eden. "In addition to the 100 billion dollars I promised, I'll also send you valuable medicinal ingredients as compensation."Eden, intrigued by the offer, softened her expression. "Send them my way, then.""Understood. My people will deliver the materials as soon as I get home."Just then, the bell rang. Cielo observed the students flooding into the corridor. "I won't keep you any longer."Eden hummed in agreement and returned to her classroom.With her class over, Miriam had no authority over Eden anymore.Eden re-entered calmly, ignoring the stares. Unfazed, she dumped her bag on her desk, placed her uniform over her head, and began to doze off.The students in the corridor stared at her for a long time until someone broke the silence. "She's the GOAT."Anoth

Simon stared at Cielo in silence."That girl you despise so much, she's the reason our family, the Navarros, exists. She's the one who gave us everything we have now. You know how old she was back then?" Cielo pulled out a cigarette, lighting it with a hint of reverence in his eyes. "Thirteen years old.""No way!" Simon exclaimed in disbelief.How could a thirteen-year-old girl have such an impact on the Navarro family?What did she do?Cielo gave Simon a disappointed look. "Everything is possible in this world, even what seems impossible to you. You think being from the Navarro family makes you impressive? There are many others far more capable than you. The only reason you're at Riverside Senior High is because of your family."You think you're the best, but you'll never reach her level."Simon felt humiliated. "I'm not that bad, am I? And besides, Eden failed all her exams. What's so special about her?""Prodigies exist, and Ms. Griffith is one of them," Cielo stubbed out th

Chapter 63

What was Joy supposed to do when her classmate sitting next to her was so popular?"I…" Joy felt pressured by their demands. She wasn't sure whether to refuse them or not.Thanks to Eden, all the other students in the class were now willing to talk to her. Joy felt too shy to turn them down, yet she was afraid of asking Eden for help.Just as Joy was hesitating on how to respond, Ewan, sitting in the back row, suddenly slammed his desk and stood up. "You guys are so loud! Can't you see my boss is trying to nap? I'll deal with anyone disturbing her!"The students were startled."Wow, Ewan's quick! He already sees her as his boss?""Hey, let's get back to our seats. He looks serious!""Shh!"At the back by the door, Laudes clenched her fist with an icy expression as she glared at Eden.Seeing this, the girl next to her quickly calmed her down. "Eden's in a good mood right now. She even dealt with Simon. Just be patient.""Patient?" Laudes chuckled, then turned her attention awa

Joy glanced toward the field as well and murmured beside Eden, "I think she's pretty good, actually."Ewan perked up at Joy's comment. "You're into street dancing too?"Eden also turned to look at Joy.Joy blushed faintly and spoke softly, her head lowered, "I'm a fan of Leo Hart's street dancing. He's my idol.""Seriously? Joy, are you serious? How many high schoolers can dance at Leo's level? He's a superstar with multiple hit albums. It takes years for performers like Jasmine to reach his caliber."Leo Hart had risen to fame in recent years, each of his albums selling exceptionally well. His heartfelt lyrics had garnered him a growing fanbase. In just a few years, he had become a superstar in the entertainment industry.Despite his fame, Leo had managed to avoid scandals, maintaining a spotless reputation. Before his solo success, Leo had led a street dance crew called TTY, winning numerous international competitions and gaining widespread acclaim.Although one member left TT

Ewan understood that Eden was skilled in combat, but Leo's bodyguards were on par with those employed by the Navarros—highly trained retired mercenaries. Getting close to Leo would be nearly impossible.Eden gave Ewan a look as if he were crazy. "Are you kidding me? Why would I threaten him?""But didn't you say..." Ewan was baffled. Not threaten him? Then how did she plan to convince Leo to organize a concert in Estburg?"Just call him and ask him to come," Eden said casually as they entered the cafeteria.Joy and Ewan were left speechless.Wait, did she just suggest she had Leo's private number? Did she actually intend to call him?It took Ewan a moment to recover, and he chuckled awkwardly. "That's a good joke, boss."Eden was taken aback. She wasn't joking at all; she really did have Leo's number. But it seemed neither Joy nor Ewan believed her.Ignoring their disbelief, Eden turned away. As they were walking, she glanced back at Ewan. "Stop calling me boss."Ewan nodded q

More and more students gathered around, whispering about Eden and the drama unfolding.Some students who admired how Eden handled Simon refrained from joining the discussion."Stop talking!" Ewan's angry roar silenced the chattering crowd. "I'll deal with anyone spreading nonsense!"The students who had been gossiping moments ago fell silent under Ewan's stern gaze.Scanning the crowd, Ewan demanded, "Who was badmouthing the chief just now?"A few girls from ordinary backgrounds glanced nervously at each other and looked away.When Simon was around, they didn’t really fear Ewan. But now that Simon was out of the picture, Ewan had become the de facto leader of Riverside Senior High, and they feared his reprisal.However, Daliah was unafraid and spoke up boldly, "You're next in line to lead the Horton family, Ewan. Yet you call that country girl 'chief'? Where's your dignity? Oh right, everyone in Estburg knows you as the useless nepobaby and academic failure. Your family's reputa

Eden walked so fast that Joy and Ewan struggled to keep up with her.After a while, Joy stopped and grabbed Ewan's arm. "Maybe we should stop following her. She probably doesn't want us around right now.""Damn it!" Ewan kicked a rock on the path and vented, "The chief is a good person. Why does the Hunt family dislike her so much?"The news of Eden and Jasmine's relationship had spread throughout the school.Ewan had done some digging and discovered that Eden's mother had essentially abandoned her to her grandmother for many years, only taking her back into the Hunt family to marry her off to Alain in Jasmine's place, all for the supposed glory of the Hunts. Jasmine had never wanted this arrangement, but it was twisted to make it seem like Eden stole her fiancé. Ewan felt a lot of sympathy for Eden.Joy nodded with a sympathetic smile. "She deserves better. She doesn't need the Hunts to like her."She looked at Eden's slim figure, standing alone, with compassion.Ewan looked up

Estburg Central Hospital.Eden pushed open the door to a VIP ward, followed by Alain, Horace, and Caelus.Cielo and Simon had been waiting for quite some time.Upon seeing Eden enter, Cielo quickly greeted her. "Ms. Griffith."Cielo was momentarily surprised to see Alain behind her. "Mr. Ward?"Although he had seen Alain before, he couldn't fathom why Alain was here now.Alain's engagement had stirred up a commotion in Rielton recently. As one of the prominent families there, Cielo couldn't have missed the news.He had heard that Alain was engaged to a lady from the Hunt family. So why was he with Ms. Griffith? What was their relationship?"Hello, Mr. Navarro," Alain nodded politely at Cielo.Cielo returned the nod. "Hello."With little interaction between their families, their greeting was purely out of courtesy.Cielo then shifted his attention from Alain to Eden. "Thank you for coming, Ms. Griffith."Eden gave Cielo a nod before walking over to Simon. She took out a pack

Eden remained silent throughout, her mood so sour that Horace and Caelus were visibly uneasy.Horace leaned closer to Alain and whispered, "Did you upset her, Alain? She looks so intimidating right now, I'm afraid to even speak."Alain glanced at him sharply. "Then be quiet!"Even Alain refrained from speaking aloud. He was genuinely concerned she might lash out unexpectedly. He had experienced her strength firsthand before."Didn't you say she was supposed to start your treatment tonight?" Horace whispered again.Alain clenched his jaw and glanced at Eden. "We can wait."As soon as Eden placed her beer bottle on the table, she turned to Alain and Horace with a nonchalant expression. "Got a pen and paper?"Alain remained silent and looked at Caelus.Understanding his cue, Caelus nodded. "I'll fetch it from the waiter."Returning swiftly, Caelus handed Eden the pen and paper.Eden began writing a lengthy list of medicinal ingredients, then handed it back to Caelus.Perusing t

Chapter 70

Eden spent four hours in the kitchen, and all Alain and the others could hear from outside were loud clatters and bangs. They couldn't help but wonder what she was up to.Alain remained calm, his head bowed as he scrolled through his phone, seemingly unperturbed by the noise.Meanwhile, Horace and Caelus were restless.Horace glanced at his watch, leaning back on the sofa teasingly. "Is she remodeling your kitchen in there?"Knowing Eden's penchant for intensity, Horace couldn't help but speculate. Despite her youthful appearance, her strength was undeniable, making Horace realize he wouldn't stand a chance against her in a fight.Alain lifted his head briefly toward the kitchen, biting his lip with a distant expression.After a moment, he returned to his phone, speaking calmly, "Let her."His tone was composed.If dismantling his kitchen helped her cope with her mood, he was willing to permit it. There were plenty of other rooms if she needed more space.Horace grinned mischi
