All Chapters of Lucky in Money and Love: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Elliott and Selena kept eating until they were too stuffed to take another bite. There was still seafood left on the table, but they couldn't lift their forks anymore."Waiter, pack these up for us," Elliott instructed.Not wasting any of the food, he had the leftovers packed to go as well. The other portions set aside for his and Selena's roommates were also ready.Elliott and Selena were just about to leave when a young woman abruptly stood up at a nearby table. She was using her hands to clutch her throat."What's the matter, Joanna?""You're scaring us, Joanna! What's going on?"There were four young women at the table, and the one who started choking herself was Joanna Carter. Her face was flushed scarlet from her inability to breathe. At the very next moment, she crashed onto the floor.Immediately, the other three young women grew distraught. They didn't know what to do."Joanna! What's happening?""Help! Someone, please! Help Joanna!""Don't die, Joanna!"Alas, most o

After Elliott talked to Joanna, it was getting rather late. Elliott felt drowsy and wanted to sleep, but he got yet another message. He frowned when he saw the sender—Anne."Thanks for the gifts, Elliott. I got them.""I'm sorry for the nasty things I said this morning.""Thank you for what you did at Waverly Mall. Out of everyone in the world, you treat me the best."Anne sent three messages in a row. In the past, Elliott would've responded instantly, but now, he didn't even feel like answering her.So what if he had worshipped the ground she walked on? She didn't even flinch when she chose to ditch him. The more he cared about her, the more deeply he was hurt.Moreover, he now had Selena and Joanna, too. Needless to say, Anne mattered little to him. He considered her nothing more than his pawn for earning money.The fact that Elliott wasn't responding made Anne anxious."Why hasn't he replied to my texts yet? He used to answer them in less than a minute! Has he fallen asleep?"

"Yes, I want to sit behind Elliott," Anne said softly. "That way, he's always in my sight."Confused, Julie asked, "Anne, are you really going to try and win him back?""I am!" Anne confirmed. "I was wrong for the way I treated him. He spent over three years trying to win me over. Now, it's my turn to spend three more years winning him back, and I'll gladly do it!""You don't need to, Anne," Julie advised. "Plenty of guys like you. You can just pick the best among them. Why are you being so stubborn about Elliott?""You don't get it, Julie. I used to be clueless about love, but now I know what it is. You don't know what happened. Yesterday, Ivan's girlfriend accused me of being his side chick. I was utterly humiliated. There were plenty of people around us, but no one stood up for me," Anne said."Elliott was the only one. He didn't even hesitate at all. He jumped right up and fought with Ivan. Although he didn't take my breakfast, I'm sure he still cares about me. I can feel it. E

Elliott texted to Joanna, "I'm not sure. I'm guessing it'll take another half an hour. Are you outside?""Yeah. I'm waiting for you at the entrance, Elliott," Joanna replied. "Can I treat you to lunch to thank you for saving me yesterday?"If he had lunch with Joanna, it was his chance to flex his wealth in front of her, and he could also take advantage of the system's Conquest Fund to have a good meal himself. Moreover, she'd been waiting for him the whole time, so he had to accept the invitation out of consideration for her sincerity."Sure! That's fine with me, but it'll be a while before the talk ends," Elliott said."It's okay. I'll wait for you," Joanna answered.She was indeed waiting right outside the lecture hall. Due to her birthmark, no guy had ever tried to date her before, but she longed to go on a date with a guy. Although she knew that having lunch with Elliott was only to thank him for his help last night, she couldn't resist fantasizing about it anyway."Elliott i

After leaving the hospital, Elliott said to Joanna, "You're a student at Mountshire Institute of Traditional Medicine. Are there any remarkable traditional medicine practitioners at your school who can treat patients without surgery?""Actually, Eli, I majored in medicine so I could treat my birthmark," Joanna said. "I've read a ton of medical books and asked all my professors at college about it. They all say that it was possible in ancient times, but the methods have been lost to time, so it can't be done now. Or at least, they can't do it.""It's fine. Don't give up. Let me take a closer look at the birthmark," Elliott requested.Joanna removed her mask, and Elliott studied her birthmark carefully. This time, he used his right index finger to stroke it gently. But as soon as his finger made contact with her skin, he heard a notification from the system."System has detected that the Host has made physical contact with Conquest Target Joanna Carter's birthmark. The Host may use th
