Brat shrugged. “That’s her business.”
if it was encrypted, she could get someone to decrypt it
She believed that with the Cooper family’s wealth, it would not be a problem to find a capable hacker,
Look! How magnanimous she was!
Frank waspletely speechless.
From this incident, Frank came to a conclusion. He could offend anyone but Briar.
She was just like Ashton. They were both so scary!
The next ss <b>was </b>supposed to be Jewell’s, but another professor, Michael Jenkins, walked into the ssroom. Michael was wearing old- fashioned ck framed reading sses. He was an absolute traditionalist. His lectures had a remarkably soporific effect, yet he maintained notoriously high standards with an rmingly low pass <b>rate</b>.
Michael walked up to the podium. After looking around, he did not say anything else. He even skipped the roll call and entered the teaching stage. The students‘ burning curiosity about the gossip would have to wait.
However, the whispers below did not stop.
“F*ck! What’s going on? Why isn’t Jewell here?”
“Could it be that Michael will be the one teaching <b>us </b>in the future after Jewell is fired?”
“Please don’t! With Jewell’s sses, there’s at least the asional ‘explosion‘ to keep me awake, but if it’s Michael’s ss, I’ll be sleeping. through every single lecturel”

“I don’t think Jewell wille back. He didn’t just offend Briar. Don’t forget, this matter
rmed Ashton”
“That’s right! How dare he offend Mr. Wade? I don’t think Jewell Bombhew can stay in Shoneport.”
“Isn’t this too unfair? Isn’t it just a little mistake? Is it really necessary to wipe them outpletely?”
“That’s just how it is in Shoneport. The Wade family calls the shots here. Who dares go against their word?”
Frank listened to the growing discussion around him. He was <b>afraid </b>that it would burden Briar<b>, </b>so he raised his hand and mmed the table. it was not loud, but with enough authority to instantly silence everyone.
Briar Jennings nced at Frank, who quickly responded with a <b>reassuring </b><b>look</b>.
Briar was lost for words. ‘He really is the <b>Wade </b>family’s most pampered junior–so delightfully naive! How could he possibly think such words would upset me? To think Ashton, the scheming <b>man</b>, has such an unexpectedly kind and amusing little brother.”
Finally, after a whole day of sses, Briar carfied his bag and walked toward the school gate. On the way, many students were stealing nces at her, but their gazes were no longer as disdainful and mocking <b>as </b>before. They all worshipped her.
The corners of Briar’s mouth twitched. In the end, she ignored the pairs <b>of </b>expectant <b>eyes </b>and walked out of <b>the </b>school <b>gate </b>coldly.
She had more important things to do tonight.
Chapter 81.
A seven o’clock tonight, the auction of Shoneport’s underground trading city would be on disy the freshworm she a on disy.
Back home, Briar clicked on herputer to confirm the start of the auction.
A video dialog bak suddenly popped up on the screen. It was a video invitation from Alexia.
Briar picked up.
“Hit Briar, did you miss me?” Alexia’s exquisite and bewitching face immediately appeared on the screen. Her ice–blue eyes were like bottomless pools that could steal one’s soul with a single nce.
It was said that Alex fell in love at first sight with Alexia’s charming face. Then, he obediently stepped into the grave of love. Now, he had topete with Alexia for pocket money every montli
Briar lowered her eyes.
s and looked at the screen coldly.
Idly. “What do you think?”
Alexia’s smile turned even more devilish. She arched her voluptuous frame, letting the camera capture a tantalizing glimpse of fair skin. ” think you must miss me very much, especially since I’m holding the invite to the Underground Exchange.”
Briar’s eyes finally changed and <b>sparkled</b><b>. </b>“You got an invitation card?”
“That’s <b>right</b>. So, Briar<b>, </b>since I’m so powerful, why don’t you kiss me?” A pair of hands came up behind her, draping a coat over her shoulders. It was a silent warning not to push too far<b>. </b>But Alexia only leaned <b>forward</b>, <b>eyes </b><b>sparkling </b>with <b>unshakable </b>determination as she stared down
at Briar, waiting.
Briar hooked <b>a </b>chair with her foot<b>, </b>sat down, and leaned back until the chair reclined at the perfect angle. Her long, slender legs casually
crossed on the table as she idly tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. “Are you out of your mind?”
Alexia pouted and covered her face as she pretended to <b>cry</b>. “Annoying! Briar, you’re still so cold and heartless. My heart has been <b>hurt </b>by you
again.”
At this moment, Alex approached the camera. As he hugged Alexia, who was starting to be unreasonable <b>again</b>, tofort her, he asked about serious matters, “Briar, do you need us to pick you up?”
Briar raised her eyebrows in surprise. “You’re at Shoneport?”
“That’s right! We just got off the ne two hours ago. Alexia was worried about you and insisted oning to Dasmieca to see you.” Alex stopped Alexia, who was trying to break free from his quibble, and exined with a smile.
Briar’s eyebrows rxed and she smiled.
Alex smiled too. “<b>So</b>?”
“I’m fine.”
“I’m at Moonspring Estate. Come on.” Briar reported her location.
“Okay, we’ll be right there. See you in 46 minutes.” Alexia’s fake crying stopped immediately. There were no tears on her raised face.
Briar hung up the video call speechlessly and closed herputer.
There was a notification on her phone. Briar thought it was a message from Alexia. She clicked on WhatsApp and realized that it was from
Ashton<b>. </b>
Ashton: [Briar, do you want to have dinner tonight<b>? </b>
Briar: [No, I don’t want to go out tonight.]
Ashton did not ask further and only replied: Okay |
Forty minutester, a shy and dazzling green fenail roared to a stop in front of Briar’s house
Dressed in a sleek ck bandage minidress and oversized sunsses hiding half her face, Alexia gracefully stepped out of the driver’s seat. With a radiant smile, she waved at the approaching Briar. “Hey there, gorgeous!”
Briar was also dressed in all ck–ck skinny jeans, a ck button down shirt, and ckbat boots, topped with a ck baseball cap Her style was a stark contrast to Alexia’s. It was sweet yet undeniably sexy and cool. Alexia let out a low, appreciative whistle. “Damn, baby Who are you trying to kill with that look today?”
Briar ignored Alexia’s words and nodded at Alex, who was sitting in the front passenger seat. Then, she opened the backseat door and got in
“Let’s go. You’ll attract the attention of my neighbor,” Briar said.
Alex rolled her eyes and slid back into t random guy?”
the car with a deliberate sway of her hips. “Who’s your neighbor? You think I’d be scared of son
Briar crossed her arms and replied with a smile, “Ashton, my neighbor.”
“Holy shit!” Alexia’s sultry smile froze. She mmed the elerator, the car lurching forward. “Briar, why the hell didn’t you say so? We snuck into Shoneport. If that bastard Ashton finds out, we’re dead!”
Briar silently buckled her seatbelt and turned around tough.
Alex was not as fucky as Briar. A sharp, stylish drift from Alexia nearly sent his face–first into the window. “Babe, calm down…”
