After returning home, Emily couldn’t wait to share her day’s experience with Alexander. The moment she spotted him, she grabbed his arm, eager to spill the details.

Alexander, finding her bothersome, lengthened his stride, intending to escape upstairs.

“It involves Elizabeth. Who else can I talk to about it?” Emily pouted, feeling her brother was being indifferent.

Hearing Elizabeth’s name, Alexander paused on the stairs. A few seconds later, he turned around and sat back down on the couch. As he moved, his black shirt slightly opened, revealing a glimpse of his delicate collarbone. He nonchalantly gestured for her to continue, “Go ahead.”

Emily hesitated for a moment.

She thought to herself, “How did he suddenly change his attitude?”

Taking a big gulp from her water glass, she then recounted how Elizabeth had been bullied that day, and how things turned around embarrassingly for the bullies.

Licking her dry lips, Emily remarked, “It’s obvious that Elizabeth will be ostracized by them. Ugh, rich people and their cliques.”

She said it as if she herself wasn’t incredibly wealthy.

Throughout her narrative, Alexander remained silent, his deep-set eyes revealing no emotion.

Frustrated, Emily said, “Alex, you’re so influential. Teach them a lesson for me.

I want to stand up for my friend.”

She casually said it and hadn’t expected a response.

But Alexander replied to her, “Alright.”

Emily was confused.

‘What?”

She looked at him in surprise.

Alexander drummed his fingers lightly on the armrest of the sofa and smirked, “The little girl suffered so much, so helping her get back at them isn’t a big deal. ”

He recalled Elizabeth he’d met a few days ago.

The girl was timid, naive, and vulnerable. The most unforgettable feature about her was her eyes, which seemed devoid of any emotions.

“So weak, ” he muttered.

“Are you possessed or something?” Emily remarked.

She was shocked by her brother’s uncharacteristic sense of justice.

Alexander’s gaze swept over Emily’s face. “It would be perfect if you could swap lives with the little girl,” he teased.

Emily stared at him, lost for words.

After the coming-of-age ceremony, Jack hadn’t returned home for several days. Only a week before the school term began did he reappear.

He had been grappling with mixed feelings ever since learning that Elizabeth would be attending Sunny Heights High School.

He had previously doubted her academic abilities and even considered hiring a tutor for her. Now, thinking about it made him cringe.

While he didn’t dislike Elizabeth, his real sister, their long separation made him unsure of how to interact with her. He admitted he hadn’t been the best at handling their relationship.

Fortunately, Linda was at home when Jack returned. “Jack, have you finished your work?” she greeted sweetly.

Linda had been struggling with envy ever since she mistakenly believed Elizabeth’s dress had been purchased by Sophia.

But what she could do was nothing.

She felt like she was going to explode with jealousy.

Jack sighed, “I came to apologize to Elizabeth. I’ll need to return to the office afterward.

Linda immediately expressed her concern, “What happened to Elizabeth?”

Jack gave a bitter smile, “I was wrong about her. I had a bias against her before, thinking she was full of lies.”

“That’s good to hear.”

Linda sighed in relief. “Elizabeth has just been in her room playing games. I was overly worried.”

Jack frowned upon hearing this. Elizabeth seemed to be quite addicted to the Internet. He pleaded, “Linda, now that you two will be attending the same school, please ensure she doesn’t get too engrossed in online gaming.” Linda replied obediently, “Don’t worry, Jack. I’ll take good care of her.”

Chuckling, Jack remarked, “Given Elizabeth’s attitude toward studies, I’m honestly shocked she passed the entrance exam for Sunny Heights High School. ” 𝒃𝒆𝙙𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Linda hesitated for a moment, then as if gathering courage, she said, “Jack, there’s something I’m unsure if I should mention..”
