The raise of Maureen Smith and her Good Luck System-Chapter 32 - Jealous

Maureen returned to the classroom and sat down at her desk.

She couldn’t help but correct Liam, “His name is Harold.” Niel:

“Pfft—” Liam was unable to conceal the anger on his face, but he didn’t have the mood to fuss about Maureen remembering that guy’s name, nor did he care about Niel.

He stood there, his gaze fixated on Maureen as she sat down.

His throat bobbed as if he wanted to vent his anger but held it back, futilely holding the flame of anger within him.

Seeing Maureen pick up a piece of draft paper and continue studying, Liam kicked the chair and sat down, staring at her for a while.

The expression on his face was ugly, but his voice was very low and soft when he asked, “Is everyone in your family like that?”

Maureen didn’t really want to talk about this topic.

Even though Liam had helped her once again, and it seemed as if they had established some kind of big brother-little brother friendship, it was difficult for Maureen to speak about these past two years, not knowing where to start.

She silently turned a page of the competition question collection, remaining quiet.

Liam ruffled his own hair, feeling a little irritated.

He couldn’t help but turn back and give Niel a glare.

Niel:

“Liam had no experience in comforting people.

He looked at the side profile of Maureen, opening his mouth but then awkwardly closing it again.

Then he turned his head to glare at Niel again.

Niel: “…” Finally, Niel seemed to understand what he meant.

He hurriedly said to Maureen with fervor,

“Exchange student, don’t be upset!

If you’re really unhappy, let’s go beat them up!

There’s no rule in our Liam’s domain that girls can’t fight.

You can hit them however you want!

Need more people?

Just say it!

If all else fails, we can even use money to crush that girl earlier and your family!”

“There’s nothing a good beating can’t solve.

Not satisfied?

We can beat them twice!

We can simply use money to smack them” Liam snorted,

“This is Niel’s idea, not mine.

But now that you’ve called me Liam once, I’ll reluctantly cover you.

So, tell me, what are you thinking?”

Maureen didn’t really care about Bianca, but seeing how Liam and Niel were clumsily trying to comfort her, she had to laugh.

The tip of her pen never stopped, transcribing the important formulas within the scope, she jokingly said,

“The money used to hit her can be better used to buy me an airplane.”

Upon hearing that, she didn’t hear a sound from Liam, so she quickly turned to look at him.

She was surprised to find Liam seemed to be seriously contemplating the possibility of this request.

Maureen: ?????

Do all rich third generation treat their not-so-important underlings so generously these days?

Just a while ago, he was purposely getting himself away, refusing to let her share a desk with him.

But now, he’s suddenly being so generous towards her, Maureen was downright flabbergasted.

Terrified he might abruptly decide to make the purchase, Maureen hurriedly said,

“No, stop thinking.

Why would I need a plane?

Not only can’t I fly it, I’m underaged!”

“Underage?”

Upon hearing this, Liam recalled something.

“They were talking about Bianca’s birthday earlier – when is your birthday then?”

” It was another question Maureen didn’t wish to answer.

Her birthdate was approximately ten days after Bianca’s.

However, due to an unexpected mix-up in the neonatal ward, her birthdate on official documents had been changed after the Smith family brought her back two years ago.

Apart from relocating her household registration here, they also changed her birthday to coincide with Bianca’s.

If they didn’t do so, they wouldn’t be able to explain why she and Bianca were sisters but born on different dates within the same year.

The birthdate listed on her ID card didn’t belong to her, and she didn’t want to celebrate it either.

Maureen vaguely answered, “October 24th, do you need anything?”

Liam pretended to be nonplussed and casually said,

“If you don’t want to celebrate your birthday at home, you can come out and—”

Before he finished, Maureen interjected, “I already have arrangements on that day.

I have to go back to my hometown.”

Liam, not knowing where Maureen’s hometown was, widened his eyes, asking subconsciously,

“Where’s your hometown?”

“A small city up north.”

Liam stared at her for a couple of seconds, dissatisfied with her perfunctory response.

Nonetheless, he thought she might not be in a good mood, hence, he didn’t dwell on it, deciding to ask later.

Niel, sitting nearby, chimed in,

“Transfer students, even if you can’t celebrate your birthday, you can come celebrate Liam’s birthday, right?

Liam, yours is also coming, isn’t it?

Just a little more than half a month left—”

“Shut up!

Why in hell are you casually mentioning my birthday?”

Liam instantly bristled and stood up, covering Niel’s mouth,

“What if a big crowd comes and gives gifts?

Such a nuisance!” But subconsciously, he looked at Maureen’s reaction.

“November 5th!” Niel blurted out.

“November 5th.”

Maureen, thinking about the commemoration of her grandma on October 24th, repeated absently,

“I’ll remember.”

She remembered!

Liam’s ears turned red as he let go of Niel’s neck and muttered,

“So annoying.

Don’t even think about giving any presents!”
