《Come Back, My Ruunaway Bride》 Chapter 1 The Young Man In The Basement Chapter 1 The Young Man In The Basement The dim, yellow light from themp overhead swung around, casting ominous shadows inside the cold basement. A young man was lying on the ground, covered in blood. If it hadn''t been for the subtle rise and fall of his chest, it would have been easy to assume that he was already good as dead. The crisp sound of high heels cking on the ground rang in the air. After which, a heavy iron door opened, making a harsh, creaking sound. A man and a woman came in. The man was wearing a sharp and decent looking suit, his physique tall and rigid. The deep features in his face made him quite handsome. There was, however, a particr cruelty in his eyes. As he looked down on the nearly lifeless body on the ground, he sneered in disgust. The woman, on the other hand, was wearing a white, strapless dress, paired with silver stilettos. Her clothes hugged her curvy figure nicely. Her delicate face was enhanced by the exquisite makeup she had on. However, the malice in her eyes inevitably reduced her beauty. From the looks of it, the pair had just came in from a formal banquet. "Mr. Darren, Miss Ashley," the doorman greeted with the utmost respect, following closely behind them. "Has he said anything yet?" Darren Gu asked coldly. The man shook his head. "No, sir. Wouldn''t utter a single word." "Do whatever it takes! There''s no way he would be able to endure any more pain," Darren Gu ordered, gritting his teeth in annoyance. Raising her head to look at Darren Gu, Ashley Rong smiled gently. The malice in her eyes earlier had all vanished. "Darren, I want to have a few words with my brother," she crooned sweetly. "Can I have a minute alone with him?" Darren Gu looked down at her and gently stroked her head. There was nothing Ashley Rong asked for that he would refuse. "Okay, I''ll wait for you outside. Be careful." As soon as Darren Gu walked out of the room, Ashley Rong gave a quick wink to the other man. Immediately, he understood and followed Darren out. There were only the two of them in the basement. Slowly, the gentleness on her face faded away. As she looked down on the man on the ground, a sneer appeared on the corners of her mouth. "My dearest brother," she said in a singsong voice. Coming closer to him, she deliberately stepped ruthlessly on his hand. "I''m here to see you and yet you can''t even bring it upon yourself to greet me?" A grunt softly erupted from the man''s chest. His arm twitched in pain as Ashley pressed her heel harder against the back of his hand. His long and thick eyshes trembled slightly. Struggling to open his eyes, he saw his sister''s face through his hazy sight. After regaining consciousness, Albert Rong coughed heavily, fresh blood sttering against the concrete floor. Taking a deep breath, he looked up at Ashley through his heavy eyelids. It was obvious that Albert Rong was badly beaten up, but there was a still a strong will written all over his face. His eyes were piercing and sharp, as if he could easily see right through other people. Every time Ashley fell under his gaze, she couldn''t help but feel that all her thoughts and emotions were impossible to hide. With her lips curling up, she twisted her heel on his hand. However, Albert Rong kept his gaze as steady as ever, as if he wasn''t feeling any pain. "Brother?" "You''re nothing but the daughter of your whore mother and her shameful client. I don''t want anything to do with someone like you." Although Albert Rong''s voice was hoarse and weak, his words hit Ashley with so much force. He was still the head of the Rong family -- even though he was in such a horrible situation right now, there was no way he was going to give in. Anger rose up in Ashley''s face. All of this wouldn''t have happened in the first ce if he hadn''t found out about her background. He had threatened to kick her out of the Rong family, and so she had no choice but to resort to violence. It was all true. Her mother was a prostitute and she had no idea who her father was. There was no way she could be able to escape that fact. Albert now knew about her identity, and it was as if her pleasant disguise had been ripped off away from her, constantly reminding her that she was nothing more than a bastard child. p! All of a sudden, Ashley drew back her hand and pped him right across the face, the sound reverberating across the cold room. Albert took it without a single word or sound ofint. No one would dare to think of doing such a thing to him, and yet there Ashley was. The corners of his lips curled up, and soon a low and hoarseugh erupted from his chest. "Are you angry because you''re embarrassed? I have so many dirty photos of your mother with a lot of her clients. Do you think Darren will still marry you once he sees them?" Ashley gritted her teeth, her beautiful face distorted with anger. "Fuck you! Do you really think you''re any better than I am? Look at you, all beaten up and locked up like a prisoner. How can you still be so arrogant?" An evil smile appeared on his bloody face as Albert leaned against the wall, shaking his head in disbelief. "Well... That''s because I have something you want." Hearing this, Ashley''s eyes widened in shock, her hands balling up into fists. "Where is it?" The dark basement couldn''t hide his haughty aura as he smile bemusedly at her. Material ? of N?velDrama.Org. There were a number of reasons why the Rong family had been around the Imperial City for over a century now. For one, all of the members of the family were undeniably talented. But, more importantly, they also possessed a mysterious rune manipting skill. As the head of the Rong family, Albert naturally inherited the rune manipting skill. Even though he was truly a great and talented man, he did not expect that his younger sister wasn''t actually the daughter of the Rong family. All those years, he had spoiled and doted on her wholeheartedly. To add insult to the injury, Ashley betrayed him with his best friend, Darren. All this was just for the rune manipting skill. "Just let it go, Ashley," Albert said hoarsely. "You will never get the rune manipting skill. That ck box you have is pointless. You can''t open it if you don''t have the key." Ashley gritted her teeth and red at him. In the past few days, no matter how much they tortured him, Albert never told them anything. They searched everywhere, but could not find the legendary key to open the ck box. At this point, it was already useless to keep Albert alive. Squinting her eyes at him, Ashley glowered at him coldly. Then, a sarcastic smile soon appeared on her lips. "The Rong family is really something! That old bastard Jonathan and your short-lived parents all died because of the rune manipting skill... But don''t worry. It will be your turn soon." Shock and anger washed over Albert''s face, and Ashley couldn''t help but smile wider with satisfaction. "Did you...kill my grandfather and my parents?" Albert clenched his fists, his nostrils ring with anger. Seeing him like an infuriated trapped beast, she couldn''t help butugh out loud. "Do you really not know anything, stupid? Well, you won''t live long anyway. I''ll just tell you everything! Your grandfather and your parents didn''t die in a car ident at all. On your birthday, they rushed back from abroad. Luckily, I was able to tamper with their car." Ashley paused, sighed dramatically as she shook her head. "It''s really too bad you weren''t able to see how beautifully that car exploded..." "You bitch!" By now, Albert was trembling with anger. Was it true? Did his family really die because of this woman in front of him? For ten years, he had foolishly treated her like his own sister. And now... "Don''t worry, brother," Ashley snorted. "You''ll meet them soon..." Then she turned around and walked out. If she couldn''t get the secret of the rune manipting skill, there was no way she could let Albert survive. Chapter 2 Disguise Chapter 2 Disguise As soon as Ashley came out of the basement, the anger on her face had been reced with a pitiful and sad look. Seeing this, Darren hurriedly walked over to her with concern. "What''s wrong?" Ashley shook her head and leaned in his arms with a trembling sigh. "My brother refused to tell me where it was. And he said... He said that I didn''t deserve to be the daughter of the Rong family! That he wanted to kick me out and leave me with nothing!" There were even tears in her eyes as she said this, making Darren feel incredibly sympathetic towards her. "That''s nonsense!" he said, gently holding her chin in his hand. "The Rong family doesn''t deserve to have such a beautiful and kind-hearted daughter like you, Ash. Don''t worry. We''ll get married as soon as this matter is over." With a gleam shining in her eyes, Ashley tentatively bit her lower lip. "But my brother--" "Your brother is nothing but an ungrateful pest," Darren interrupted, his eyes as cold as ice. "We don''t have to keep him alive." Ashley leaned against Darren''s chest. "But even after everything, he''s still my brother," she mumbled weakly. "Don''t worry. I''ll make sure to handle it in the best possible way. Albert will disappear from the face of this world forever, and you will rightfully take over the Rong family." Hearing this, she lowered her head to cover the sh of contentment in her eyes. With his arm around her shoulder, he led her out of there. Ashley then turned her head around to nce at the dark, iron door onest time. The corners of her mouth subtly raised up. ''Goodbye, my dear brother...'' Meanwhile, Albert stared at the dim light above his head. There was no more luster in his eyes. For the past few minutes, he had been angrily punching his fists against the concrete. Blood seeped from his knuckles. Now, he just quietly sat in the dark, as if he was embracing his incredibly depressing state. It felt like his life was slowly slipping away. His past two decades of existences shed before his eyes. All the achievements he had made and the happy moment he had were nothing aspared to what Ashley had just revealed to him. Because of the rune manipting skill, the Rong family became one of the strongest households in all of Imperial City. All of Albert''s rtives had paid the price for holding such a great power. Now, he was about to pay the price with his life as well. The more Albert thought about his family, the more his heart ached. There was nothing else he could do but close his tired eyes, tears steadily streaming down his face. If there was an afterlife, he would definitely make sure that Darren and Ashley pay for what they had done! Later that night, a huge fire engulfed the entire house. There was nothing left. Albert Rong, the head of such a powerful family, drew hisst breath. - - - - - - "Hurry up! Catch that brat!" In a dim alley, a chase pursued. Anky teenager ran as quickly as he could. As he neared the end of the alley, a dozen people were suddenly there, blocking his way. "You brat, you''re pretty fast!" snarled a hooligan with bright yellow hair as he grabbed the boy''s cor. The teenager trembled, his teeth chattering. "You... What do you want?" "What do we want?" The hooligan snorted coldly. After staring at the boy for a while longer, he Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g! loosened his grip. The teenager fell directly to the ground. His frail appearance made the other people aroundugh out loud. "Can''t you try and figure it out, punk? How dare you harass Valerie Shen!" The teenager shouted stubbornly, "I didn''t!" m! The hooligan punched the handsome boy''s face, making him fall down hard on the ground. The corners of the boy''s eyes immediately turned red and swollen. "Tch! You are such a weak boy. How dare you approach Valerie? She is Mr. Jason''s girlfriend. Do you think you deserve her?" As they barked harsh words at the boy, the group of people punched and kicked him mercilessly. After a long minutes, they finally stopped. The boy was shaking with pain. With a sneer, the leading hooligan, Hogan, gave him another kick directly on his stomach. "Stay away from Valerie or next time you won''t be so lucky anymore!" The groupughed among themselves as they hurriedly left. Meanwhile, the boy panted heavily, his eyes filled with fury and hatred. After taking a few deep breaths, his body couldn''t handle the severity of his injuries anymore. There, in the dark and dirty alley, he died alone. The night wind blew through the alley, bringing upon a clear and crisp voice that seemed toe from afar. "Master! Wake up, master!" Albert opened his eyes in a daze. The pain all over his body made him gasp. "Aaah..." Enduring the pain all over his body, he tried to get up into a sitting position as he looked around in confusion. "Where... Where am I?" Thest thing he could remember was being locked up in the basement before burning to death. Why was he here in this dark alley? All of a sudden, he felt a severe pain in his head, and fragments of memory hit his mind. After a long time, Albert finally came to his senses. He looked at his hands in disbelief. What was going on? A small ball floated around him, the light fluctuating like a firefly in the night. Albert stared at the orb in awe. Raising his hand, he reached up to touch it. The light ball shook and made a faint sound. "Master..." The corners of Albert''s mouth twitched. "Who... What the hell are you?" The light ball rubbed against his face. "I''m the amulet that follows the master of the Rong family for the past century. Only the true and current master of the Rong family can wake me up," it exined in a soothing tone. Amulet? All of this sounded familiar to Albert. When he took over the position as head of the Rong family, his grandfather had told him everything he needed to know -- how their family was powerful, how they were famous for the rune manipting skill, and so forth. From what he could remember, his grandfather also told him that the rune manipting skill could be used to bring forth an amulet. A lot of generations of Rongs did all they could to bring it forth. None of them prevailed, until now... Staring at the light ball, Albert suddenly remembered how he saw a light in the basement before he passed out. "It was you ...who saved me?" "Master, don''t you know that the highest level of the rune manipting skill is immortality?" The small light ball circled around him and said in a brisk voice, "Strictly speaking, it is the rebirth of the soul, or the rebirth of the consciousness. Master''s body has died, and now your consciousness exists in this new body so master can survive." Albert rubbed the corners of his eyes with his fingertips. What the hell was this? It was hard to wrap his head around everything that was happening right now. And that was not all... As it turned out, Albert was really actually a woman! Apparently the rune manipting skill of the Rong family could only be inherited by men. In order not to lose the power, Albert''s grandfather came to the decision to make Albert only appear to be a man. Aside from her grandfather and parents, no one knew that the head of the Rong family in the Imperial City was actually a woman. Not even her favorite sister Ashley nor her best friend Darren knew... Thinking of the two of them, a murderous look shed in her eyes. Now that she had escaped from death, the two of them would go down to hell! The small light ball trembled and rubbed her face, almost like a doting kitten. "Master, what should we do now?" Taking a deep breath, she straightened out the broken bones in her hand. She didn''t even flinch as it snapped back with a crack. "Well, I''m d you asked," she said, a smile forming at the corners of her mouth. An evil look shed across her dangerously sharp eyes. Chapter 3 Late Night Chase Chapter 3 Late Night Chase "I need to get my revenge for everything that bitch has done." The steady heartbeat was an indication that she was still alive -- it just so happened that she was in someone else''s body. The teenager had also died alone like she did. With a sneer, Albert tore off a part of her shirt and wrapped it around her injured hand. "Don''t worry. Since I''ve taken over your body, I''ll be sure to avenge you!" "Master, the power of this body is insufficient." The small light ballid on her head and said in a gentle voice, "I''m afraid you can''t use the rune manipting skill for the time being." Albert''s eyes darkened. The rune manipting skill... It brought honor to the Rong family for a century. However, it was a blessing as it was also a curse. After lightly dusting off her clothes, Albert was about to leave when she suddenly heard a rush of footstep at the end of the alley. Judging from the teenager''s lingering memories, Albert could tell it wasn''t the gangsters who had mercilessly beaten her earlier. From the way they moved and looked, it appeared as if they were professional killers Why were there such people in this decrepit ce? It seemed like the teenager had offended someone she shouldn''t have crossed paths with in the first ce.Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g! Not wanting to head for more trouble, Albert turned and left in the other direction. When she passed the corner, a strong wind suddenly struck her face. "Master, watch out!" the small light ball shouted in fear. Before Albert got up, the ball had incorporated itself with Albert''s state of mind. No one could hear and feel it other than Albert. Apparently, there was another person who had snuck up on here. Reacting quickly, Albert reached out and grabbed the person''s fist before he could pack a punch. Since she was still pretty weak, she couldn''t help but skid a few steps backwards. Albert wasn''t going down without a fight. The two fought with their bare hands with great ferocity. The man seemed to have been injured as the faint smell of blood invaded Albert''s senses. At the same time, there was a clear cold fragrance mixed with the faint smell of tobo. It was a surprisingly pleasant smell. And so, the fight endured. Albert''s brows furrowed deeper as she gritted her teeth. Other than the fact that her opponent was undeniably powerful, she was still injured and took weak to withstand his blows. All of a sudden, her hands were pinned behind her back, and she was dragged into the darkness. Anger shed in Albert''s eyes. Just when she was about to fight back some more, a hard, cold object pressed against her waist. In an instant, her body stiffened. She knew well enough that the man had pointed a gun at her. "Don''t move!" A hoarse andzy voice came to her ears. It was so alluring -- like a deterrent force that was impossible to resist. When Albert heard the sound of the professional killers getting closer and closer, she suddenly understood. "Are those people chasing you?" she asked in a low voice. Apparently, the man was trying to get her out of the way of those assassins. Hearing this, Charles Gu squinted his eyes at the teenager in his arms. He could barely see her face in the darkness of the night. What was more, the way she spoke arrogantly proved that she wasn''t afraid of the gun in his hand at all. Charles Gu smiled slightly. This was interesting. "Don''t worry. As long as you keep quiet, I won''t hurt you." Hearing that, the corners of Albert''s mouth twitched. "Fine," she said through her teeth. Charles Gu frowned, not sure whether or not he was satisfied with her snarky reply. The footsteps became louder and louder. Charles Gu held his breath and pressed the gun harder on Albert''s back, indicating her to stay quiet. However, Albert wasn''t in the mood to follow this unknown man''s orders. As the group of people neared, Albert stepped hard on Charles foot, making his groan loudly in pain. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Albert quickly grabbed his wrist. In one quick movement, she twisted his arm around, making him loosen his grip on the gun. Without a moment''s hesitation, she quickly grabbed the gun. Charles Gu''s face darkened, not expecting that this scrawny-looking teenager would go against him so easily. ''Damn it! Are teenagers really this stupid nowadays?!'' The ck gun circled around in Albert''s hand. She smiled proudly at him before ncing back at the killers who had stopped to inspect the noise. "Thank you for your gun," she said to him with a cheeky grin. As soon as she turned around, she nimbly jumped up the high wall and was about to run away. However, Charles Gu was able to think quickly and grabbed onto her feet. "Do you want to die, you brat?" The cold and cruel voice with a murderous tone made the small light ball tremble fearfully. "Of course not!" Albert snorted. "But I can''t do anything if you''re about to." With her hands on the wall, Albert kicked at Charles''s chest with all her might. And then she climbed up and disappeared without a trace. Across the high wall, as Albert listened to the noise of the fight on the other side, a mischievous smile appeared at the corners of her mouth. Meanwhile, in one of the most prestigious private bars in the country, Jason Rong leisurely leaned back on the couch. There were a handful of women drinking with him. The women were wearing coquettish clothes, all of them doing whatever they could to get his attention. He was handsome and rich, and so it was inevitable that these women were deeply attracted to him. At that moment, the door to the private room swung open, and Hogan stepped inside. "Mr. Jason," he greeted. Hogan, who had been tough and arrogant towards the teenager earlier, now looked like an obedient dog in front of Jason Rong. Jason Rong waved his hand, gesturing for the scanty girls to get out. Then, he squinted his eyes at Hogan, lightly gnawing the cigar in his mouth. "Have you finished your work?" "Don''t worry, Mr. Jason." Hogan nodded. "I''ve asked my men to teach him a lesson. I promise he won''t harass your girlfriend again." Jason Rong narrowed his eyes and seemed a little dissatisfied. "Teach him a lesson? So what? Did you just beat him up?" Hogan was stunned for a moment before shaking his head in embarrassment. "Mr. Jason, I... After all, it''s a human life. It''s difficult for us to kill him..." Jason picked up a pile of cash on the table and threw it at Hogan. Hogan''s eyes lit up at the sight of all that money. With a scoff, Jason raised his foot and kicked the table. "Kill him. And all that money is yours." Hogan stared at the pile of bills with his eyes wide open, his hands trembling with excitement. Despite this, he still couldn''t help but think twice about doing it. Although it was true that they weren''t exactly good people, murder wasn''t something to be taken lightly. What was the point of having that much money if he got sent to jail for manughter? Seeing the hesitation on Hogan''s face, Jason clicked his tongue impatiently. "Just do as I ask. I''ll take care of the rest." Hearing this, Hogan grinned and nodded. "Yes! Of course! We will take care of that pesky little brat, Mr. Jason." Just when Hogan turned around to leave, Jason called out after him. "Hold up." He raised his hand and threw the cigar into the ss. "You''d better not get me involved in this matter. Understood?" "Don''t worry, Mr. Jason," Hogan replied with a sinister smile. "We know the rules." Chapter 4 A Sense Of Pressure Chapter 4 A Sense Of Pressure After he left, Jasony on the sofazily. His uncle wanted to take the illegitimate child Albert home. How could he allow her to take his position as sessor? As long as Albert died, he would be thest sessor of the Rong family in J City. Therefore, Albert had to die. When Albert followed her memory to find her home, the door was locked and all the people in the house were asleep. In fact, this house was not her own house, but her aunt''s. Albert''s mother was the lover of James Rong who was the head of the Rong family in J City. James lied to that poor woman. After she gave birth to Albert, she realized that James have had a family, and the Rong family refused to recognize them. So she had to ce Albert in her sister''s home, and soon she died of illness. But Albert''s memory told her clearly that the poor woman was killed by Simone Zhou, the legal wife of James. Therefore, Albert hated the Rong family more. Without waking up the person inside to open the door for her, Albert climbed over the wall and walked in. Albert''s aunt was not a good person, and her cousin, Ivy Yun, just treated her as a burden. Albert walked directly to a small room in the southwest corner of the courtyard. When she opened the door, she smelled something musty. It was just a storage room. On one side there were all kinds of old things, and on the other side there was a small bed and a desk, not even a cab. Albert took off her clothes. Her fair skin was covered with bruises everywhere, and there was a bandage on her chest. At the age of seventeen or eighteen, she was probably malnourished and developed slowly. With the bandage wrapped around her chest, you could hardly notice that Albert was actually a girl. Albert wiped the dirt on her body casually, changed a new bandage, put on the worn clothes andy directly on the bed. She had to keep up her spirit. There would be a battle tomorrow. Early in the morning, there was a sound of swearing outside, and the knock on the door was getting heavier, waking up Albert. There was a trace of displeasure on Albert''s handsome face, and her confused brain gradually came to her senses. She sat up with her hands against the bed, looking at this messy room, with a cold dark light shing in her eyes. It turned out that what happenedst night was not a dream. She died and she was born again. ''My dear sister, are you ready to wee me back?'' Albert shook her head, and her thin short hair covered the sharp corners of her eyes. Her thin lips were slightly upturned, and his delicate face even showed a bit of evil spirit. The women outside were still cursing. She talked all kinds of nonsense, and the neighbors were not surprised. Carol Bai scolded for nearly half an hour, she even tried to smash the door. It was not until then that Albert opened the door slowly and looked at the woman outside indifferently. It was October now, but it was very warm in this small city. The morning sun shone through the tall tree in the yard, sprinkling a fine golden light. Albert was dressed in old white, and her skin was fair. The bruises at the corners of her eyes were very obvious, making her look a little unruly. Her usual dull and weak eyes shed a sharp dark light at the moment. The height of one meter seven was considered short among the boys of the same age, but now in front of Carol, it was full of pressure. Carol was terrified by her stare, and then she thought that she would not be afraid of this little bastard, her saggy face became even angrier. "You little bastard! How dare you! Go and sweep the floor! " She was still scolding her as usual, but her This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?. tone was a little weak this time. With her eyes half closed, Albert looked gloomy. Carol''s legs were trembling, but she still straightened her neck and said in a vicious voice, "Stop staring at me! I raised you up. How dare you stare at me when I asked you to sweep the floor? " "You know better than me that whether I was brought up by you, or by my mother who died early." There was a hint of coldness in Albert''s eyes. Although Charlotte Bai had sent Albert to her sister Carol''s family, she had given Carol a lot of benefits. Otherwise, how could Carol have such a good house in the city with her coward and ipetent husband? Hearing that, a hint of panic shed in Carol''s eyes. She thought to herself, ''How did Albert know these things?'' But on the record, she couldn''t admit it. Then she scolded, "You little bastard! How dare you! I have been in charge of everything in the past few years. Now you dare to oppose me, don''t you? " "Mom! It''s so noisy! " Ivy''s irritated roar came from the main house. Carol quickly shut up and red at Albert before she stopped. Albert lowered her head slightly and smiled sarcastically. It was hard to imagine that as the younger generation of the Rong family, the another Albert had such a life. But it didn''t matter. Whether it was Ashley or the Rong family, she would get back what they owed her. It was Monday today. After packing up her things, Albert took a look at the words "Yiyang High School" on her school uniform. She took her schoolbag and directly walked out of the door. Carol was still taking care of her dear daughter, Ivy, Albert''s cousin. Albert was at the same age with Ivy, but Ivy had always been disgusted with this "cousin", not only because Albert was "a freeloader" in her family, but also because Albert had poor grades and bad poprity. Albert was as weak as a toy "boy", and "he" didn''t dare to say anything when "he" was bullied. Ivy''s ssmates allughed at her for having such a cousin. Ivy was pretty with baby fat on her face. She had learned make-up when she was a little girl. The school dress was also changed into a miniskirt by her, which covered her thighs. Her chestnut curly hair made her even more youthful. Carol prepared the breakfast and coaxed, "Ivey, let''s go to school after breakfast." After putting on the lipstick, Ivy waved her hand irritably and said, "No! I don''t want to eat! I''m losing weight! " Carol hurriedly said, "You should be a little fatter at your age. Look at those skinny girls, what''s so good about them?" "s, you don''t understand!" Ivy didn''t want to talk to her ignorant mother anymore. She carried her schoolbag on her back and stretched out her hand to Carol. "Mom, the school needs to pay for the remedial fee. Give me five hundred." Carol''s face stiffened, she was a little embarrassed, "Didn''t ...didn''t you just hand it inst week? Why do you have to pay for it again? " Although Carol said so, she took the money out of her pocket with great reluctance. Ivy took it over. "The rest is my pocket money..." "Eh..." Looking at her daughter running out, Carol was so angry that she stamped her feet. "These two are all nuisances!" Yiyang High School was the best high school in the city, and Albert and Ivy were both in the third year of high school. If it weren''t for the fact that Albert had taken the first ce in the city and Yiyang High School proposed the condition of exempting tuition and fees, it would have been impossible for Carol to let Albert go to this high school. Chapter 5 Yiyang High School Chapter 5 Yiyang High School At this moment, Albert was walking inside the Yiyang High School. Looking at this unfamiliar campus, she had a strange feeling. As the only heir of the Rong family, her grandfather was very strict with her since she was a child. In order to protect her identity from being exposed, her grandfather had always hired specialized teachers to teach her at home, so it was the first time that Albert came to school with a school bag on her back. The school uniform of Yiyang High School was blue and white. It was verymon, loose andrge, making people look a little dull. But when Albert put on the uniform, she looked taller and straighter. Her skin was rtively white, and she had short ck hair. She used to be just handsome, but today she looked more energetic and radiant. Although she was a little thin, she gave off azy and naughty aura, which attracted everyone''s attention. Many girls stared at Albert and discussed secretly. When did they have such a handsome boy in Yiyang High School? After the morning ss, several students were ying in the corridor. There were a few books on the balcony on the third floor, and they were pushed down by someone identally. A girl stood in front of the stairs,pletely unaware of the dangering. She stared straight at Albert, her eyes full of curiosity and amazement. A voice came from above her head, and she saw that Albert, who was a few steps away from her, rushed over very fast. Albert grabbed the girl''s arm and pulled her away directly. Because of the inertia, the girl fell directly into Albert''s arms. The scene of "the hero rescuing the beauty" caused the people around to exim. Looking at the books smashed on the ground, Albert frowned slightly. He turned his head to look at the stunned Rena Lin and asked in a clear voice, "Are you all right?" Rena covered her throbbing heart and blushed at the sight of her prince charming. Albert was very familiar with such a look. Her eyebrows twitched. Albert let go of the girl and took two steps back without knowing. Blushing, Rena looked at her and said shyly, "Just now... Did you save me? " Looking at her watch, Albert said lightly, "Be careful next time." Without talking much with Rena, Albert went to the ssroom. Looking at her back nkly, Rena patted her head remorsefully after a while. She forgot to ask her prince charming''s name! In the corridor, Valerie and Sophia Yuan also saw the scene just now. The two of them were also shocked. Sophia opened her mouth wide and pulled Valerie''s sleeve. She was dumbfounded, "The man just now... Was it Albert? " Valerie frowned slightly, and there was a doubt in her eyes. When did that loser, Albert, be so powerful? Besides, she didn''t know if it was her illusion that today''s Albert seemed to be different from usual... Albert didn''t find her ssroom until the bell rang. As soon as she came in, the noisy ssroom suddenly quieted down as if the pause button had been pressed. The morning sun shone through the big tree in front of the ssroom, sprinkling the mottled and shattered light. Albert stood in front of the door. She didn''t look dull in the big school uniform. The clothes made her more slender. The bagzily nted across her shoulders. Under the ck short hair, there was a pair of attractive eyes with sharp edges. Her thin and white neck seemed to shine with a shimmering light. Albert''s skin was white and transparent. The bridge of her nose was tall, and the color of her thin lips was light. Her lips slightly raised a cold arc. She just stood there. Like them, she was wearing dull school uniform, but it made people feel that she was like a handsome young man in ancient paintings, with a noble aura in every move, and also like a demon awakening in the dark. Her eyes with shallow light were shockingly cold. After a while, the teacher on the tform pushed up her sses dully, coughed and asked, "Are you in the wrong ssroom?" The female teacher, who was only in her twenties, wouldn''t admit that she had been stunned by her just now. Albert looked up at her and remembered something about her. A book suddenly fell to the ground. A boy widened his eyes in horror and asked, "Are you Albert Rong?" This name absolutely shocked everyone. The girls who were excited to see Albert just now all had an embarrassed and weird expression on their faces. As for those boys, their jealousy and hostility had turned into mockery. Who was Albert? Back then, she was the first one to be admitted to the Yiyang High School in the city. But now she was eitherte for school or slept in ss all day long. The top student had now be a well-known bad student in the high school. If a person had created the glory, then she had to defend it or surpass it. Many people envied Albert back then, and now many peopleughed at her. What''s more, Albert was dull and weak. She stayed in the corner all day long and even the teacher never bothered to remind her in ss. She was almost invisible in the ss and often bullied by her ssmates. A few days ago, she even dared to send a love letter to Valerie, the most beautiful girl in their school, but she was caught by the dean and criticized in public. Therefore, Albert was even more famous. Jerry Hao, the monitor of ss Three, sneered and said sarcastically, "Isn''t this the pursuer of the campus belle? Why are you here? How dare youe to school? " "Yes, it''s not a big deal to be criticized in public, but the love letter was so badly written. It''s really a shame for ss Three!" Everyone, including those girls who were coveting the beauty of Albert just now, began to talk about it with disgust on their faces. The female teacher looked at the crowd awkwardly, trying to stop them from talking, but she also knew that it was useless. This had happened before. When a person was in a disadvantaged position, many people would add insult to injury, whether intentionally or unintentionally. And Albert was the one who was in a vulnerable position. Even if the teacher could stop them once, she couldn''t stop them a second time. "Bang!" "Shut up!" A roar seeded in stopping the noisy ss. Albert raised her head and found it was the boy who had called her name. Jerry sneered, "Rick Lin, who are you scaring? Don''t think you can yell at me just because you are rich. Thend your father wants is still in my father''s hand. If you piss me off, see if my father agrees! " Rick stared at him. The reason why Jerry could be the monitor was that he had a father who was an official in the city. Although Rick often argued with him, he really didn''t dare to fight with Jerry. N?velDrama.Org owns all content. Looking askance at the wretched Jerry, a dark light shed across Albert''s expressionless face. Chapter 6 Besiege Albert Chapter 6 Besiege Albert Somehow, under Albert''s gaze, Jerry looked away with a guilty conscience and stoppedughing at her. A smile appeared at the corners of Albert''s mouth. Jerry was indeed a scum. What Albert had done had something to do with him. No worries, there was plenty of time left to get back to him... Seeing that the atmosphere in the ss was under control, the female teacher quickly said, "Go back to your seat." When she looked at the face of Albert again, the female teacher couldn''t help blushing. She had no choice. That face was really eye-catching. In the past, Albert always kept her head down. She was so cowardly that she didn''t dare to look into others'' eyes. She had a low sense of existence, so how could anyone notice her? But now, since she came in, she hadn''t said a word. Her aura was so strong that it was hard to ignore. Albert nced around. And then Rick said to her impatiently, "Come here!" Albert walked to the seat in thest row of the ssroom, which was near the trash can. There were paper scraps and rubbish everywhere on her seat, and Albert frowned slightly. Rick raised his hand and swept all the rubbish away. Albert looked at the awkward boy in front of her. He was about the same age as her, but he was a head taller than her. He was handsome, but his skin was a little dark. "Thank you." Rick was stunned by the low and clear voice. "You ...are you talking to me? " He looked at her nkly, with undisguised doubt on his face. Why did he feel that Albert was very strange today? Without saying anything else, Albert dropped her schoolbag and sat down. The high school curriculums were very boring, especially for the Chinese lesson. Many students were drowsy in the ss, and it was not easy for the female teacher either. She was still lecturing seriously on the tform, and asionally asked a few students to answer. Turning over the book in her hand, Albert lost her interest soon. She had learnt these courses when she was seven or eight years old. Her grandfather had very high requirements for her. If she wanted to hold on to the identity of the head of the Rong family, she had to bear the pressure that others could not imagine. Albert raised her hand and rubbed her shoulder. There were still many wounds left on this body. Although she could bear them, she really needed to deal with them. A small light ball came out of Albert''s schoolbag and wandered around the ssroom curiously. "Master, is this the school? It''s my first time to see it. " The small light bally on Albert''s head intimately and wiggled excitedly. Raising her hand, Albert flicked it and said lightly, "Don''t disturb me." Rick, who was sleeping on the desk, opened his eyes in a daze and looked at her with confusion. Albert nced at him, "I was not talking to you." The ss ended soon. Rick, who had slept the whole ss, stood up and raised his hand to pound on Albert''s shoulder. Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g! "Are you going to the washroom or not?" There was a pain in her shoulder. Albert took a deep breath and her face was a little pale. Rick looked at her in a daze, "Hello, are you okay?" He reached out to touch her, but was stopped by Albert. "I''m fine." Albert replied two words coldly. Apparently, she didn''t want to talk to him anymore. Rick shrugged and went out with his hand in his pocket. After Rick left, Jerry and several boys surrounded Albert. Raising her head, Albert asked, "What''s up?" Jerry drove away the ssmate in front of Albert and sat down directly. He looked at her arrogantly. "You brat, what did you mean just now?" "What do you mean?" Albert asked deliberately. "Are you still ying dumb with me?" Just now, the way Albert looked at him made him panic for the whole ss. Today''s Albert made him feel a little scared for no reason, especially for what he had done. It didn''t matter if Albert wanted to get herself into trouble, but he didn''t want to be dragged into the mire. With a calm expression on her face, Albert span the pen in her hand casually. Her slender hands were extraordinarily beautiful. "I just don''t know whether you mean changing the paper with me during the exam or the love letter you wrote to Valerie." Jerry was infuriated by her reckless words. Fortunately, the ssmates around them were all his people, so they wouldn''t spread these things. He grabbed Albert by the cor and said fiercely, "You brat, if you dare to talk nonsense, I will make you unable to stay in Yiyang High School!" Staring at his hand, Albert''s eyes darkened. When Rick came out of the washroom, he saw his sister, Rena, standing in the corridor in a daze. He stepped forward, raised his hand and waved in front of her, but she still didn''t respond at all. Rick patted her head impatiently and said in disgust, "What are you dreaming about during the day?" Rena looked at Rick nkly with her face down. "Brother, howe it''s you?" "Or who else do you think it is?" "Of course..." She hoped that it was her prince charming. Feeling regretted, Rena was very upset about what happened this morning. Rick stared at his sister and squinted, "Are you in love?" Rena blushed, "How is that possible?" "That''s good. Mom asked me to keep an eye on you." Rena snorted and said, "You''d better take care of yourself." "I..." "Rick!" When Rick was about to say something, he heard someone calling him from behind. A slightly chubby girl trotted over and stopped in front of him, out of breath. Rick frowned in confusion, "What''s up?" She was a ssmate of his ss, but they didn''t talk much. What could she ask him for? "Albert... Albert was surrounded by the monitor and some other people. Please go and have a look... " Rick''s eyes were wide open and he scolded in a low voice, "These bastards!" Looking at her brother running back quickly, Rena was confused. "Who is Albert?" The girl looked at her with bright eyes. "Are you... Rena from ss One? " ss One was the top ss, which was definitely beyond the reach of other sses. Rena smiled politely. Then the girl said, "Albert is a boy of our ss. I don''t know why the monitor always dislikes him." After reciting the name in silence, Rena suddenly remembered that the protagonist of the love letter incident that had provoked much discussion before seemed to be Albert of ss Three. Rena curled her lips and lost some interest in Albert. Was he insane to fall in love with Valerie? Rena had nned to go back to the ssroom directly, but she remembered that her brother seemed to be very nervous about the boy named Albert. After thinking for a while, Rena followed that girl to ss Three. Many people had gathered at the door of ss Three. Rick squeezed in anxiously. When he saw the people rolling and wailing on the ground, he was stunned. Chapter 7 The Wolf Dog Chapter 7 The ''Wolf Dog'' Albert pinched Jerry''s arm and kicked him into the trash can. Many students pped their hands and eximed at such a funny scene. Jerry often bullied them because he had a father of an official. It was rare to see him being taught a lesson. Rick''s eyes widened in horror. He looked at Jerry, who was struggling in the trash can, and then looked at the skinny Albert. It was hard to imagine that she had taken down so many people on her own. "Bro, you..." Rick could not hear his own voice. Albert squinted slightly and shook her hand. It seemed that her shoulders hurt more. The small light bally on her head and said worriedly, "Master, your injury seems to be more serious." Albert didn''t care about it at all, but her face looked paler. Rena squeezed out of the crowd and widened her eyes when she saw Albert. It was him! Noticing that someone was staring at her, Albert slightly tilted her head and frowned. The girl in the morning? Jerry struggled to stand up from the trash can and was kicked on the buttock by Albert again. A cold voice said, "You''d better stay away from me if you don''t want others to know what you have done." This fight was revenge for the dead teenager, Albert. If Jerry sought trouble for himself again, don''t me Albert for being rude. Being able to sit firmly in the head of the Rong family, she had never been a good kind. But she had more important things to do than them. The boys beside Jerry helped him up. Jerry''s face was ck and blue. Jerry covered his eyes, pulled the rubbish off his head angrily and red at Albert. "Just wait and see!" He had always been unruly, and no one had ever dared to lecture him like this! The hatred was officially settled. Albert looked calm and she didn''t seem to worry at all. Rick kept staring at the familiar and also strange back of Albert, feeling that he was still living in a dream. Those boys ran away awkwardly, but the onlookers around hadn''t dispersed, especially those girls, who were staring at Albert obsessively with their big bright eyes. "Hi ...hello. " A timid voice came. Rena, who had always been confident and mboyant, was now like a little girl who was in love in front of Albert, with her hands twisted together. Looking down at her, Albert asked in a clear voice, "What''s up?" Rena straightened her clothes nervously, "You ...do you remember me? In the morning ...you saved me. " Albert responded lightly. She didn''t seem to take it seriously at all. Rena stared at the indifferent peachy eyes, with a trace of disappointment in her eyes. But she still plucked up courage and said, "My name is Rena Lin, and I''m in the ss One... Rick is my brother. " As if trying to get closer to Albert, Rena pulled Rick aside. She remembered that Rick seemed to have a good rtionship with Albert. Rick was still confused. When did this happen? Why didn''t he know? Albert squinted at the siblings. To be honest, she came here as Albert just to help her take revenge. She didn''t care about making friends or other things at all. However, when everyoneughed at her this morning, only Rick spoke for her. She didn''t have to drive them away. Albert nodded slightly, which was her way to show kindness. Rena stared at the face of her prince charming so close that her heart almost jumped out. "Hey bro..." Rick raised his hand and tried to put it on Albert''s shoulder again. But when Albert cast a Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g! cold nce at him, Rick suddenly froze. "Say it." Rick withdrew his hand awkwardly and muttered in his heart, ''Why is Albert getting more and more entric?''? "Well, you beat Jerry and others up. Aren''t you afraid that they will get even with you?" Albert said coldly, "If they wanted to die, just bring it on." Although she was weak and injured, it did not mean that she was amb to be ughtered. Rick''s mouth twitched. How blind he used to think of the ''wolf dog'' in front of him as a ''puppy''? For the whole day, Rick was in a trance. He was half confused about what was happening to Albert today, and half worried that Jerry woulde back to take revenge on Albert. Jerry had some background to be able to do whatever he wanted in Yiyang High School. How could a child from a poor family like Albert win them? Rick scratched his head irritably and looked at Albert next to him. She was lying on the desk and sleeping soundly. Was Rick worried about these too much? Several murmurs came from ahead. Rick looked up and saw several girls staring at Albert with lustful eyes. Some of them were about to lose their mind. Rick pursed his lips. What a face-judging world! The news that Albert, who was in ss Three, beat Jerry was spread all over the Yiyang High School. Just a few days ago, the news that Albert wrote a love letter to the campus beauty Valerie was exposed. Now, she was involved in a fight. Many people had prepared melon seeds and popcorn, waiting to watch a good show. However, there were also some people who were confused. In the past, even Albert didn''t dare to speak loudly, let alone fight with others. ''How could he beat Jerry and the others?'' Sure enough, as soon as the ss was over, the Dean led several teachers to ss Three aggressively, followed by arge group of students who were watching the fun. Unexpectedly, Albert''s seat was long empty. Standing in the corridor with her bestie Ivy and watching the bustle of ss Three, Emily shook Ivy''s hand and gloated, "Ivey, was that Albert your brother?" Ivy pouted in disgust, "I''ve told you. He''s not my brother!" Emily snorted, "In my opinion, your mother is so stupid. Why did she raise a loser at home for nothing? His grades are poor and he is not capable. If I had the money, I''d rather buy you a new dress. " Ivy bit her lower lip. She had asked Carol this question since she was a child. But Carol kept silent. From the conversation between Carol and her father, Ivy vaguely knew that it seemed to have something to do with the dead mother of Albert. "Stop talking about him." Pulling her schoolbag irritably, Ivy asked, "Didn''t you say that you would take me to a fun ce today?" Emily lowered her voice excitedly, "Have you brought the money with you?" Ivy nodded. "It''s still early. Let''s go thereter." On the student street not far from the school, Albert, who was well-known in the school, was standing in front of a barbecue stall. Wearing a school uniform, she looked elegant and noble, which was not in line with the noisy environment. Chapter 8 Shocking Chapter 8 Shocking Staring at the iron te squids on the stall, Rick was about to drool. Albert frowned slightly, "Is this ...what you want me to eat? " Before the ss was over, Rick couldn''t wait to take her out and invite her to dinner. The ss was so boring that Albert wanted to leave early, so she went out with Rick. But to her surprise, as soon as they went out of the school, Rick took her to the snack street. Albert only had meals in fancy restaurants, and even the chefs were air freighted from abroad. She was more curious about these mostmon and strange food. Rick wiped his saliva, but his eyes were still fixed on the squid. "Just wait. I promise you will like it." It was not his priority to treat Albert. Rick was not a good student at school either. He was used to fighting, being criticized by his teacher and his parents. ording to his previous experience, Jerry would not give up easily this time. If the Dean really found Albert, she would probably be reported and criticized again. So Rick decided to take the opportunity to pull Albert out when they hadn''te yet. As for what would happen tomorrow, he would rather talk about it tomorrow. With two cups of milk tea in her hands, Rena trotted over. With a little joy on her red face, she handed one of the cups to Albert. Albert took it over and thanked her. Her long hand was like a thin silver thread, tugging at Rena''s heart. Rick looked at the two of them in a daze, "My baby sister, what about mine?" Rena was also stunned. Then she touched her nose awkwardly and said crossly, "Can''t you buy it yourself?" Poor Rick... Rick''s sister had changed! Albert drank the milk tea casually. She liked the sweetness very much. She looked around secretly with her beautiful eyes, and inadvertently saw a few familiar faces. The one who took the lead was Hogan, who had identally killed the teenage Albertst night. A cold light shed across Albert''s eyes, and she instantly became gloomy. Rick only felt a gust of cold wind blowing, and his whole body trembled. "It''s strange." He rubbed his arms and muttered, "Why does it suddenly be cold?" The corners of Albert''s mouth twitched. It was not that the weather had be cold. It was because of the gloom of the teenage Albert. Her indescribable background, her mother''s tragic death, her father''s abandon, and the instructions that she had to pretend to be a boy before her mother Charlotte''s death all caused great pressure to the young Albert. Especially after Charlotte''s death, she was attached to the family of her aunt. Not only did she have to be treated coldly by her aunt and uncle, but also she had to be bullied by Ivy and others. That was why the teenage Albert was so coward and self-abased. No matter how hard her life was, she had been working hard and carefully to live. Whether it was to change the paper with Jerry during the exam, or to help Jerry take the me, she was clearly the top student, but her grades were forcibly taken away. Even so, Albert had neverined or even thought of resisting. It was not because she was masochistic, but because she knew that with her ability, she could not resist at all. And her forbearance was nothing more than to live. To live, to avenge her mother But she didn''t expect that she would be killed by those peoplest night because of the love letter from Jerry. Albert couldn''t help sneering in her heart. How simr were they? They didn''t hurt anyone, but they would always be involved for no reason, causing others'' red eyes, and even sacrifice their lives for it. No matter it was Jerry, Hogan or the person behind Hogan, she would not let go of anyone who owed the teenage Albert. As for owing herself... She wouldn''t let go of Ashley and Darren easily. Rena stared nkly at the tightened hand of Albert. The bottle of milk tea was crushed by her. The cold liquid fell from Albert''s fingertips, like blood, which was shocking. Rena didn''t know why she had such a feeling, but at this moment, she felt that Albert was like a ghost N?velDrama.Org owns all content. crawling out of hell, hiding in the noisy crowd and looking for her target. Rick called Rena several times before Rena turned around to look at him in a daze. Rick frowned and asked, "What''s wrong with you? Why didn''t you answer me? " "I..." Rena turned to look at Albert. Albert had already thrown the distorted milk tea bottle into the trash can as if nothing had happened. She took out a piece of paper and wiped her fingers carelessly, as if what had happened just now was just Rena''s illusion. When Albert turned around, Hogan and the others walked over. Albert turned her eyes to look at Hogan. Rick was eating squids happily, while Albert said, "If there''s nothing else, I''ll go back first." Rena was a little disappointed, "Aren''t you going to y with us? I know there is a ce that is very interesting... " "No, thanks." Albert refused very bluntly. Seeing the darkened face of Rena, Albert thought for a while and added, "Let''s go there tomorrow." With a bright smile on her face, Rena said briskly, "It''s a date then!" Then she took Rick, who was still eating, and left. Rick waved at Albert, and then the siblings disappeared in the crowd. As the two of them left, the warmth in Albert''s eyes gradually faded away. Rick was one of Albert''s former friends. He had nothing to do with these things, and she didn''t have to get him involved. After sending away the two of them, it was time to get even with Hogan. Rubbing her aching shoulder, Albert crumpled the tissue in her hand into a ball and threw it into the trash can. Then she walked towards Hogan. This snack street was close to the school. It was not only students'' favorite ce to go, but also many hooligans often came here. This was Hogan''s territory, especially for the past two days when he worked for Jason. Hogan earned a lot and was taking his brothers to a big restaurant at the end of the snack street for dinner. It was getting dark. The cold wind blew, and there was a strong smell of alcohol and cigarette, mixed with the angry curses and bursts ofughter of the men. Albert stood at the corner of the street, and the dim light reflected on her side face. Her slender and thin figure looked very weak. She was still wearing the school uniform, and such a lonely student had attracted the attention of several hooligans. She just nced at them coldly and walked past Hogan and others as if nothing had happened. She looked steadily forward, as if the ss was just over and she was about to go home. Chapter 9 She Is Not A Human Being Chapter 9 She Is Not A Human Being One of Hogan''s men spotted Albert. He tugged at Hogan who was drinking and said, "Boss, isn''t this the guyst night?" Hearing this, Hogan immediately looked up and found that it was really Albert. He mmed the ss in his hand. "Hey! It''s really that guy! " She was hurt badly yesterday. They didn''t expect that she could go to school today. Thinking of what Jason saidst night, Hogan was in a dilemma. These people were all good friends with Hogan, so they naturally knew what Jason had told Hogan to do. "Boss, since we meet here, should we..." Hogan was still a little hesitant. Although he was a member of the underworld, he was just a punk. If they did it well, they could really get a lot of money from Jason. But if they screwed it up or leaked the information, Jason might not protect them. He knew better than anyone about the tricks of the rich. One of the men said, "Boss, I''ve heard that the boy''s parents have died and he is now fostered in his aunt''s house. His aunt really wants to drive him out. If he is killed, I don''t think his aunt will make a scene, right?" Hogan clenched his ss. Although they didn''t know why Jason insisted on killing Albert, Jason''s identity is not something that they could y up to. The Rong family in J City. He inadvertently heard Jason mention it. It was the branch of the Rong family, one of the three biggest families in the Imperial City. If they could help Jason get what he wanted, they might be able to take advantage of the Rong family in the future. By then, their prospect would be beyond measure. There was a greedy light in Hogan''s eyes. He drank the wine in the ss in one breath and gritted his teeth. "Let''s go! He was just a poor boy who had no parents. Even if he was killed, there wouldn''t be any trouble." Walking to the dark ce, Albert inadvertently nced back. The group of people were about to make a move. Albert stared at the dark alley ahead. It was dark and windy at night. It was really a good time tomit a crime. Albert was blocked in an alley. Several pairs of wild mandarin ducks were frightened to run away when they heard the noise here. A ck dog barked at them and was also driven away by Hogan throwing stones. With her schoolbag on her back, Albert had a handsome face with a bit of childishness, as if she was a student who had juste back from school and was blocked on the way, but there was no trace of panic on her face. Hogan stared at her. It was indeed Albert. But after only one night, she seemed to be a little different. She was so scared yesterday that she almost pissed her pants. Now she stood in front of them calmly and wasn''t afraid at all. ''Was he dumb because of the hit?'' A fierce light shed through Hogan''s eyes. It was not okay to be beaten silly. What Jason wanted was her life. "Boy, it seems that I was too gentlest night." Hogan patted the stick in his hand and said arrogantly. Albert looked around as if she was looking for a way out. Hogan raised his chin and snorted, "I let you gost night. But it won''t be so easy for you this time." A cold voice said. "Will anyonee here?" She had specially found the deepest and darkest alley for them. Hogan sneered, "What''s wrong? Are you still expecting someone to save you? " Albert didn''t say anything or do anything, just like a prey to be ughtered. Hogan winked at his men behind him, and they immediately rushed to Albert and blocked all her exits. Hogan stepped forward, slightly clenched the stick in his hand, and tried to hit Albert on her abdomen. A slender hand grabbed the stick effortlessly and twisted it under Hogan''s astonished gaze. With a click, the stick, which was as thick as an arm, was broken in this way. Everyone was frightened by what Albert did. Hogan reacted quickly and waved his fist towards Albert''s face. Fighting was heard continuously in the alley, mixed with all kinds of wails and screams, and people who passed by did not dare to enter. Rubbing her aching wrist, Albert was still stepping on Hogan. As for the others, they had already been beaten by her and could not get up. Hogan looked at the teenager in front of him in horror. She was still weakst night, but today she defeated them all on her own. She was not a human! Looking at Hogan''s face, Albert thought of the miserable death of the teenage Albertst night. She stepped harder on the hand bone of Hogan and broke it directly. "Ah!" Hogan screamed loudly. The pain from his hand made him tremble all over. "You ...please let me go. I won''t hurt you again... " "Let you go?" Albert bent down slightly and stared at his face which was distorted because of fear. She said word by word, "Have you ever thought of letting me go?" Hogan was so scared that he wanted to retreat and stay away from the devil, but his hand was N?velDrama.Org owns all content. trampled hard by her. Unless he didn''t want his hand anymore, he could only bear it. "I... I was also under orders... I didn''t mean to hurt you... " With her eyes half closed, Albert stepped fiercely and asked, "Who is it?" Hogan cried out again and said a name intermittently. "Jason?" Her thin lips lightly opened, Albert muttered. The name sounded familiar. Several years ago, when grandpa was still there. As the young master of the Rong family, she was the second to her grandpa in the family. At her grandfather''s birthday party, the Rong family in J City brought a child to her. His name seemed to be Jason. For some unimportant people, Albert would never bother to remember, so now she only had a vague impression of him. So the Jason what Hogan mentioned, was he from the Rong family in J City? "Mr. Jason gave me one million for taking your life... It''s all Mr. Jason''s orders. It has nothing to do with us... " The teenage Albert was the illegitimate child of James, who was Jason''s uncle. And this was what the little Albert had in her memory. But the little Albert never came back to the Rong family. It could be said that the Rong family didn''t know her existence at all. How could Jasone to her? And ask Hogan to kill her? "Why did he ask you to kill me?" Hogan said in a trembling voice, "I... I don''t know either. I just heard him mention something about the Rong family in J City, the illegitimate child and the young master. We don''t know anything else... " Staring at Hogan''s face, Albert didn''t think he was as arrogant as before. Just like a drowning dog, he would sell his master out in a single beat. Chapter 10 Catching Adultery In The Bar Chapter 10 Catching Adultery In The Bar "Where is he now?" Hogan stammered, "Charm... Charm Bar. " Charm Bar was the most high-end bar in the small town. Jason had been staying in the bar these days. He was generous and good-looking. Countless girls came to him every day. He was way too happy. He was waiting for Hogan to bring him the news, but he did not expect that he had been betrayed by Hogan. A gust of night wind blew, and several shrill screams came from the alley. Albert walked out and wiped her dirty hands. Ignoring the hooligans behind her, she walked towards the Charm Bar directly. At this time, in the Charm Bar, noisy music filled the entire bar, and there were all scantily dressed women passing by. Under the colorful light, there were excited and dancing crowds. In cool short skirts, Ivy and Emily shuttled through the bar, with excitement on their young faces. Emily shouted, "Ivey, did I lie to you? It''s fun here." Ivy was twisting with the music. Her pretty face and her curvy figure had attracted several people''s attention. "Why didn''t you bring me here earlier?" Ivy was half ming. She didn''t know there was such an interesting ce in the city. Emily pursed her lips. "It''s very expensive here. A ss of wine costs hundreds of yuan." Ivy enjoyed the man''s ttery and didn''t care about the money at all. A man in a suit came over and said to Ivy, "Miss, my boss wants to invite you to a drink." Before that, Ivy had refused several people. Although she came from an ordinary family, she had a pretty face and many pursuers. She was used to this kind of situation. "Who is your boss?" Ivy nced at the clothes on him. They seemed to be very high-end. The man in suit signaled her to look to the second floor. Jason, wearing a burgundy shirt and a ss of Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g! ice-blue wine in his hand, raised his ss to Ivy with a charming smile on his handsome face. Emily grabbed Ivy''s arm excitedly. "Ivey, he is on the second floor! He must be a rich man!" Ivy had a lot of thoughts in her mind. The man was rich and handsome. Of course, she wouldn''t let him go easily. With an enchanting smile, Ivy said softly, "Then ...please show me the way. " Standing in front of the door of the Charm Bar and listening to the deafening sound, Sophia and Valerie looked a little embarrassed. Sophia held Valerie''s hand tightly and said seriously, "I didn''t lie to you, Valerie. I really saw Mr. Jason go in with a hostess in his arms. If you don''t keep an eye on him, what if he falls in love with another woman one day?" Valerie deserved to be called the campus belle. However, she was used to being arrogant and being popr. It was really impossible for her to chase after her boyfriend like other girls. Seeing that she was still hesitating, Sophia was a little angry and said, "What kind of person Mr. Jason is? That''s the only son of the Rong family in J City. The Rong family will be in his hands in the future. If you can marry him, you will be the hostess of the Rong family in the future, won''t you? " Jason had been in this city for a long time. At first, he drove a sports car and identally injured Valerie and took good care of her. After a long time, even the proud Valerie fell into the gentle move of Jason. They fell in love with each other. Sophia knew that she was not as good as Valerie, otherwise she would not let go of the rare rich and handsome man. The hostess of the Rong family. This identity could definitely make all the girls crazy about him. Including Valerie. After struggling for a while, Valerie held Sophia''s hand and walked into the bar. Just as they entered, a slender figure appeared under the streetmp at the corner. Looking at the "high-end" bar, a deep light shed in Albert''s eyes. Valerie had always regarded herself as a good student. How could shee to such a ce? Wearing a white dress, Valerie with long hair and outstanding appearance soon attracted the attention of many men. She held Sophia''s hand tightly and was still unable to deal with this situation. Sophia was bolder than her. She stopped a waiter and asked, "Do you know where Mr. Jason is?" The man stared at the two of them strangely. Sophia pushed Valerie out and said, "This is Mr. Jason''s girlfriend." When the waiter saw Valerie, he was amazed. Then he said, "Mr. Jason is in the third tost box on the second floor. But if you want to go in, you have to get the permission of Mr. Jason''s bodyguards." After knowing the ce, Sophia didn''t worry anymore. The bodyguards of Jason also knew Valerie. Without any difficulty, they went upstairs to the second floor and found Jason''s box. Valerie said nervously, "Sophia, how about ...how about going back? " She had never done this kind of "catching adultery". Sophia regretted that Valerie didn''t live up to her expectations. "Since we havee here, won''t you regret if you don''t go in and have a look?" Valerie bit her lower lip and said, "But what if ...what if Jason doesn''t? " "We''ll know if you have a look at it..." Holding Valerie''s hand, Sophia pushed the door open and rushed in. In the private room, Jason was lying on the sofa in the dim light. His shirt was unbuttoned. He was holding the shy Ivy in his arms, and on the other side, he was enjoying being fed by a hostess. Emily wanted to squeeze in, but Jason didn''t like her at all. Jason and Ivy were so close that Ivy''s whole body was attached to Jason. Valerie''s face turned pale when she saw this. Jason also noticed the two people who suddenly broke in. When he saw Valerie, he frowned slightly. He raised his hand, motioning for the people next to him to quiet down. He asked unhappily, "What are you doing here?" Sophia defended her friend and said angrily, "Mr. Jason, how could you do this to Valerie? She loves you so much, but you... " Jason slowly took out a cigarette, and Ivy lit it for him. Jason was very satisfied with her clever act and kissed her on the cheek. This scene hurt Valerie even more. "Love me?" Jason said casually, "There are so many people who love me. Does it mean that I have to keep my integrity for them?" Chapter 11 A Farce Chapter 11 A Farce Both of Ivy and Valerie were in Yiyang High School, and Valerie was a big shot in the school. How could Ivy not know her? But she didn''t expect that Jason was Valerie''s boyfriend. With a bright smile on her face, Ivy held Jason''s waist and pretended not to know, "Mr. Jason, who is she?" It had to be said that Valerie''s aloofness had indeed made Jason obsessed with her for a few days. But after he got her, it was boring. There were a lot of women who were more beautiful than Valerie in J City. He just wanted to y with Valerie. So if he was tired of ying with her, he would naturally find other fun. Jason looked at the coquettish and childish face of Ivy, which happened to be his favorite. Lifting her chin with his fingers, Jason created a gentle illusion for her, his eyes were affectionate and focused. "She is just my ex-girlfriend. Ivey, just ignore her." "Ex-girlfriend..." Ivy lengthened her voice deliberately, her head resting on Jason''s shoulder, "So what is she doing now? Catching adultery? " Jason sneered, "I said that she is an ex-girlfriend. What kind of adultery is this? Maybe she is here to hook up with some rich guy... " Jason didn''t care about Valerie at all. Even Ivy and the other girls in the room looked at Valerie with mockery. Valerie trembled with anger and stared at the two of them resentfully. She had been spoiled since she was a child, and had never been insulted like this. At the beginning, it was Jason who pursued her in all kinds of ways. She agreed because she couldn''t bear to refuse him, but now he was insulting her with another woman. Valerie was so angry that she wanted to tear the two of them apart. Sophia was also very angry. She didn''t dare to vent her anger on Jason, but Ivy was not that lucky. Sophia rushed forward, grabbed Ivy''s hair and rudely gave her a p. "I knew you were not a good person, and now you even snatched a man from Valerie. Don''t you know what kind of person you are? Do you think you canpete with Valerie? " "Ah! What are you doing? " Being attacked by Sophia all of a sudden, Ivy had no strength to fight back. She could only scream sharply and beg Jason to save her. "Mr. Jason! Pull this crazy woman away! " Jason stepped forward, grabbed Sophia''s wrist and pushed her back. "Valerie! Keep an eye on your friend! Don''t bite anyone like a mad dog! " Jason''s words seemed to give Valerie a hard p in the face. She was not only ashamed of Sophia''s impulse to make her a joke, but also angry at Jason''s ruthlessness. He gave her a sweet date and kicked her away without hesitation. What did he take her for? Biting her lower lip, Valerie looked pale and pitiful. "Jason, do you really want to do this to me?" Tears welled up in her eyes. Compared with Ivy''s gaudiness, she was more beautiful and graceful. Jason seemed to be moved. He did spend a lot of time wooing Valerie before, but Valerie was too pure and lofty for him to touch. Inparison, a woman like Ivy who didn''t care about anything but clung to him was more weed by him. Before this, he didn''t n to break up with Valerie, but she actually found it here and had to take care of everything. He couldn''t help but feel a little annoyed that she was in charge of him. Seeing this, Ivy quickly held Jason''s hand with a pitiful look. "Mr. Jason..." At least Ivy thought she should be pitiful, but she didn''t know that she was pretending innocently and pitifully at Jason with the p mark on her face, which was disgusting. Jason shook off her irritably. He didn''t like Ivy much, just for fun. Ivy''s heart sank when she saw Jason''s attitude. She thought of the stack of money that Jason had just casually thrown out. She finally met such a rich man. Was it possible that all her effort would be messed up by Valerie and Sophia? This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?. Thinking of this, Ivy red at the two of them with resentment. "Mr. Jason, you can''t be cheated by this woman. Ivy is famous for her dissoluteness in our school. You won''t be so blind to give up Valerie and choose this woman, will you?" With a stern look, Ivy shouted at Sophia sharply, "Sophia, shut up!" "What? Am I right? " Sophia sneered, "Everyone knows that you can make out with men for money. Do you think you deserve to bepared with Valerie?" Ivy clenched her fists in anger, "I... I''ll tear your mouth apart! " The two of them instantly began to wrestle. Sophia was not a person to be trifled with, and Ivy was not an easy person either. Ivy inherited the shrewdness of Carol, and the two of them were almost on a par. Valerie stepped back a little, afraid that they would hurt her identally. Looking at the two girls who were fighting like lunatics, Jason shouted impatiently, "Get out!" Valerie trembled with fear. She gave Jason a intive look and rushed out. Seeing this, Sophia ignored Ivy and hurried to catch up with her. Ivy''s clothes were torn and her hair was in a mess. She looked like a drowned mouse. Seeing her like this, Jason had no mood at all. He waved his hand and asked people to drive her away. All the people in the room were cleared out. Lying on the sofa, Jason felt more and more depressed. It was not for the farce just now. But there was no news from Hogan. He had told them to take actions as soon as possible. He had heard by chance from Rachel, the idiot, mentioned that his uncle wanted to take the illegitimate child back to the Rong family, so he couldn''t wait toe here to inquire about the news. He had to get rid of Albert before his uncle''s people came, and he couldn''t leave any evidence. Otherwise, with his uncle''s shrewdness, he would have noticed that Jason had cut off hisst bloodline! Three months ago, James was plotted by some business enemies. There was a car ident. His life was saved, but he was infertile. He only had two daughters, Linda and Rachel. Because of Simone''s strong power, he didn''t have any other illegitimate children. It was not easy to find out that more than ten years ago, the woman named Charlotte gave birth to a son for him. He couldn''t wait to send someone to investigate the whereabouts of the mother and son, trying to take the child home. ording to the ancestors of the Rong family, the position of the head of the family had always been passed down only to men, not to women. Linda and Rachel were not threatening at all, so as long as Albert died outside, Jason was the only heir of the family. How could Jason let Albert go back to the Rong family? Chapter 12 The Instigator Chapter 12 The Instigator But until now, there was no news, which made Jason feel flustered. The phone suddenly rang. Jason was startled. He thought it was the good news from Hogan. He quickly picked it up and found out it was from his father. Jason''s face changed slightly, hesitating, and he answered the phone. "Dad..." A gloomy voice came from the other end of the line. "Are you having fun these days? Have you forgotten what you should do?" With a guilty conscience, Jason wiped the sweat on his forehead and hurriedly said, "Dad, don''t worry. I''ll keep an eye on this matter..." "James''s men have already started to deal with it. You''d better do it as soon as possible. And don''t let them see you." On the other side of the phone, Kelvin Rong scolded Jason. Although Jason was angry, he had to bear it. His uncle only had one "son", which is Albert. But his father had several illegitimate children outside. Jason clenched his phone and was about to call Hogan to urge him to take action. Suddenly there was a knock on the door of the box. Without raising his head, Jason shouted impatiently, "Come in." he found Hogan in his phone address book and dialed out directly. Suddenly, a ck figure stood in front of him, and a cold voice came, "Are you Jason?" Jason, who was stunned by Albert''s sudden appearance, was still in a daze. Although he came here to deal with Albert secretly this time, he didn''t take her seriously at all. He didn''t know what Albert looked like, so Jason didn''t even know that she was Albert. "You ...who are you? " Jason shouted angrily, "Where are the bodyguards? Why did you let everyone in? " A sneer appeared on the corner of Albert''s mouth. She thought Jason was a very powerful man, but she didn''t expect that he was just a yboy. Albert picked up the bottle on the table and smashed it hard. The sharp ss was directly against Jason''s neck. Jason was so frightened that his face turned pale and he fell directly on the sofa. "You ...who the hell are you? I have no hatred with you. You ...you can''t do anything to me! " No hatred? A mocking smile appeared on Albert''s face. The one who really had no hatred with him was the previous Albert, right? At this time, Albert was like a ghost crawling out of the hell to ask for his life. Her cold eyes focused on Jason, like an invisible big hand, slowly clenching his neck and taking his breath. Her malicious and cold eyes were so beautiful, but made people feel chilly from the bottom of their hearts. At this time, the phone was connected. Hogan endured a severe pain and shouted on the phone, "Mr. Jason, Albert is looking for you! Be careful! This guy is not that simple... " Jason''s pupils shrank and said in a low voice, "You ...are you Albert Rong? " "What? You schemed to kill me? But you don''t know who I am? " The smile on her face was so sharp that Jason couldn''t help but step back. "How did you find this ce?" His voice was almost trembling, and Jason was trying his best to buy some time. The corner of her eyes lifted, and Albert immediately saw through his intention, but she was not in a hurry. "Are you afraid of me?" As she approached him a little closer, Jason''s face turned pale with fear, but he gritted his teeth and said fiercely, "Afraid of you? You are just a lowly illegitimate child. Why should I be afraid of you? " Illegitimate child... Albert''s eyes turned cold. Because of these two words, Albert had suffered a lot of abuse and humiliation since she was a child, and now, she had even sacrificed her life for it. In an instant, that beautiful face put on an evil smile. "But today, I, an illegitimate child, trampled you under my feet." Jason gripped his phone tightly and asked the bodyguard for help secretly. Seeing what he was doing, Albert reached out her hand and grabbed his wrist tightly. Jason let out a miserable scream. Without any mercy, Albert attacked him in the most sensitive ces. How could a yboy like Jason be her opponent? The bodyguards outside seemed to have noticed the abnormality. They wanted to rush into the box, but found that the door was locked from inside. Even if the sound instion was good, Jason''s intermittent screams came one after another. Albert grabbed his cor, with a bloodthirsty light in her eyes. Jason was like a drowning dog now, but he was the one who instigated Albert''s death. Albert almost hit his Achilles'' heel just now. But killing Jason, she could at most avenge for the little Albert. The people of the Rong family were the bigger "mastermind". Albert couldn''t kill Jason for the time being, but she wouldn''t let him go easily. After a beating, Albert took off his clothes and took a close-up picture of his swollen, bleeding face and his dirty body. Such a loser could be solved easily. But now her foundation was not stable, she couldn''t kill people at will, so she could only teach Jason a lesson first. People outside constantly hit the box door. But there was no panic in Albert''s eyes. Soon, the bodyguards and the people of the bar rushed in and saw Jason lying on the ground naked. The bodyguard''s face changed slightly. He looked around, but did not see the criminal. A shadow suddenly rushed out from behind them so fast that no one could catch it. Several bodyguards hurried to catch up, and there was a mess outside the bar. "Mr. Jason! Are you okay, Mr. Jason? " Jason felt pain all over his body, especially the clothes on his body were taken off, which made him feel a kind of unspeakable humiliation. This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?. He gritted his teeth and ordered viciously before he passed out, "Catch him! I want him to die! " The guest in the box on the second floor was attacked all of a sudden, and the whole bar was in chaos. All the exits were sealed, and people in the bar didn''t know what to do, but they were too scared to run around. Albert was wearing a simple white shirt, which was verymon in the crowd. And she looked so thin and weak, no one would associate her with the gangster who attacked Jason just now. Before she came here, Albert had already surveyed the terrain here. The whole bar was enclosed, especially on the second floor, there was no exit that could escape. The exit on the first floor was guarded, and it was difficult for her to escape. So now, Albert went to the third floor without hesitation. Compared with the second floor, the third floor was a ce that could not be stepped on casually. The quiet corridor was in sharp contrast to the noise downstairs. When Albert turned into the corner, she could hardly hear the voice below. She looked around cautiously and listened to the sound behind her. When Albert sensed that the footsteps were approaching, she entered a suite without hesitation. Chapter 13 The Gu Family Chapter 13 The Gu Family There was no one in the suite, and the sound of running water came from the translucent bathroom. In the hot mist, the mirror reflected the cool and indifferent handsome face of Charles. His excessively fair skin, with light pink, exuded a flirtatious atmosphere. Water dripped down from his head, across his neck, chest, and down the Apollo''s Belt. His narrow and long eyes contained a dangerous light, which was hidden in the mist and a little less harsh, but a little more gentle and noble. Suddenly, there was a slight sound outside. A dark light shed across his eyes. Charles quickly pulled the bathrobe beside him and put his hand on the weapon. As soon as Edmund Su pushed the door open, a ck gun was pointed at him. He was so scared that his legs became weak and the medical kit in his hand almost fell down. "Bro... Don''t... Please calm down. " Charles slightly moved the weapon in his hand and looked at his friend who suddenly appeared. He Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g! frowned and said in a somewhat disgusted tone. "Why are you here?" The gun was removed, and the hostility that had been oppressing him disappeared. Edmund let out a sigh of relief and shook off the cold sweat on his forehead. "It''s all because of your grandma. She called me, or I wouldn''t know that you came to this small town alone." Charles poured himself a ss of wine, took his gold rimmed sses and put them on the bridge of his nose casually, which made him less sharp. He looked as gentle as a prince. His short wet hair scattered casually, his slender and white fingers scratched the edge of the ss, and the bright red wine stained his thin lips, like a vampire stained with blood, delicate and dangerous. "I have told you not to get involved in these things." Edmund felt annoyed when he saw Charles''s depressed face. He casually put the medicine box aside and walked to Charles. Knowing that he couldn''t wait for Charles to pour wine for him, he consciously picked up the ss and poured himself a ss of wine. "Why did you do this? K is not a person to be trifled with. There has been no news about him in the underworld these years. The Gu family has already given up the old business, and the people underneath are all gluttons. What else can they do except for joking? " "So you..." Edmund chuckled lightly and said in a rxed tone, "If you die, the Gu family will be downfallen as well." Through the sses, Charles stared at the vase in front of him with an indifferent expression, as if he didn''t care about the Gu family at all. Edmund sighed slightly. Now, it seemed that Charles was getting cold-blooded. The three major ns in the Imperial City were Gu family, Rong family and Qin family. Gu family had been in the underworld since ancient times. After what happened that year, the ten year old boy, Charles Gu, became the head of the family. The teenager in the greenhouse was forced to be a devil who killed people without blinking his eyes. The eviler he became, the more he wanted to prove himself. Edmund knew that it was all for one person. A person who might never be found again... While Charles was in a daze, Edmund quickly helped him apply the medicine. Looking at the bruises and scars on his body, he knew that this guy had tried his best in a fight. In the past decade, it was not the first time for Charles to fight against the people of K. Every time he fought with them, he got himself covered all over with bruises. However, as a man like Charles who never suffered losses, K had also lost a lot. Edmund was only worried that Charles would risk his life and his family for that man. No one knew better than them how dangerous the Imperial City was. It could be said that the head of the Gu family, Charles, was not only under the plot of those enemies, but also on guard against his own family stabbing in the back. But he still acted on his own, even if the Gu family had been dissatisfied with him in the past few years. Sometimes, Edmund was also very curious about what kind of person K was to make Charles crazy for more than ten years. But Charles didn''t tell anyone about it. "But then again," While skillfully applying medicine to his wound, Edmund said, "With your ability, how could those people be your opponents?" Charles had been hurt more badly than before. Charles''s eyes twinkled and he remembered what happenedst night. This time he came to this small town in secret, in fact, in order to find the whereabouts of the international organization K. K had disappeared for a long time. After fighting with them in S cityst year, Charles could not find any trace of them. This time, he finally found out that there seemed to be traces of them in this small town. However, he did not expect that before he found K, he was first targeted by those guys in the dark. The edge of the ss was on his thin lips, and Charles took a sip. His gold rimmed sses were shining with cold light. The members of the Gu n wanted his life for a long time. How could they not take action if they seized the opportunity? If it weren''t for that bratst night, he wouldn''t have been injured so badly. That teenager stepped on him, kicked him and even took his weapon. Charles clenched his fists slightly and narrowed his cold eyes. No one had ever made him suffer such a big loss. Charles thought, ''He''d better not get caught!'' After applying the medicine, Edmund took out several bottles of medicine from the medicine box and put them on the table as usual. He said, "Don''t fight again in the next two days. Be careful not to get more serious injuries. By then, your grandma wille to me again..." Charles didn''t even bother to talk to him. Edmund curled his lips, packed up his things and left in a fit of pique. The wind blew in through the half open window, and the curtain fluttered. Behind the hollowed out pattern, there was a pair of cold eyes. Looking at the man sitting in front of the bar counter, Albert was shocked. She didn''t expect that the unlucky guyst night was a member of the Gu family. The three major ns in the Imperial City had always been ipatible as fire and water, especially after the legendary Charles took over the position of the head of the Gu n, the Gu n was unprecedentedly powerful, but it had also caused a lot of trouble. The leader of the Qin n seemed to be harmonious with the Gu n, but he had investigated many dirty things of the Gu n secretly. As for the Rong family, Albert had always kept grandpa''s words in mind. As the saying goes, ''A person of high position is liable to be attacked'', so she always kept a low profile. In addition, she had a good rtionship with the young master of the Qin family, Marcus Qin, so there was no big conflict between them. The Rong family and the Gu family had never met each other. And Charles was very mysterious. It was said that only a few people had seen him. So Albert couldn''t recognize that the man in front of her was exactly Charles. But Albert was sure that this man was not that simple. When she came in just now, she was almost found. Fortunately, Edmund came. But now, she seemed to be in a more dangerous situation. Charles had no intention of leaving at all. He put his slender fingers on the edge of the table and knocked casually. Chapter 14 Meet You Again Chapter 14 Meet You Again The gold rimmed sses on the bridge of his nose covered Charles''s sharpness. Rumor had it that he was the devil of the Gu n who killed people without blinking his eyes, but at this time he was more like a gentle and kind man. Especially his face full of abstinent atmosphere, which was even more distracting. He and Albert were both proud and noble, but one was mature and introverted, and the other was sharp and extroverted. Albert quickly searched through her memory. She was sure that she had never seen him before, but why his eyes and brows were so familiar to her. It was just a moment of distraction, a sharp sight suddenly aimed at her. Without thinking too much, Albert instinctively sensed the danger and dodged. There was a bullet hole in the ce where she hid before. The silenced gun in Charles''s hand was still emitting a faint smoke, and when he saw Albert, a streak of surprise and sharp light quickly shed across his face. It was her! Albert didn''t expect that she would be found by Charles so soon. The man was more unfathomable than she thought, so she didn''t dare to be careless and tried to take the opportunity to jump down from the window. Although it was the third floor, as long as there was some support, it was not a problem for her tond safely. Obviously, Charles had already noticed her intention. He loaded the gun quickly and shot at her again. The bullet just passed by the corner of her clothes, and Albert was forced to dodge. She rolled twice on the ground and hid behind the cab. Looking at the bullet holes on the corner of her clothes, Albert''s face darkened. Although her fighting skills were not invincible, there were very few people who could shoot her. As the head of the Rong family, if she couldn''t even protect herself, she would have died hundreds of times. But today, Charles''s inadvertent shot almost crossed through her belly. It was a shame for Albert! Just now, when she ran away, she hurt her shoulder again, and her whole arm was so painful that she couldn''t use much strength. Albert held her breath and thought about how to escape from the hands of Charles. Looking at the figure hiding behind the cab, it seemed that Charles had no intention to continue shooting, but he was still vignt. The gun in his hand was still held tightly, not because he was afraid of death, but because he knew that this seemingly skinny teenager almost let him die in that alleyst night. "Will youe out by yourself, or should I shoot you to death and drag your body out?" The bloody words, spoke from his mouth, brought a strange tenderness. Charles waited quietly, but the teenager seemed to have no ns to show up. There was a cruel smile in the corner of his mouth, and his hand was slowly resting on the silenced gun. With a click, the bullet was loaded again. Just as the muzzle of the gun was aimed at the ce where Albert was hiding, a vase suddenly smashed towards Charles. His pupils shrank, seeming surprised, and his body dodged quickly. However, the gun in his hand fell to the ground because of the impact and spun on the smooth floor. A figure quickly rushed over like a gust of wind and seized the gun by the way. When Charles turned around, the gun was already against his chest. The wind blew up Albert''s ck hair. Her delicate eyebrows and eyes contained a sharp cold light, and there was even a little destion simr to that of Charles. His life was in her hand, but Charles was not afraid or annoyed. Instead, he looked at the teenager in front of him with interest. "What a coincidence! We meet again..." She pursed her pale thin lips tightly. Even Albert herself didn''t expect that she would meet that unlucky guyst night when she entered a room randomly. "But you..." Charleszily pushed his sses on the bridge of his nose and said in a hoarse voice, "you are really brave." Albert was always vignt, she didn''t forget that the man in front of her was not a simple person no matter what rtionship he had with the Gu family. Her fingertips were dripping with blood, and a corner of the white coat was torn for no reason. Albert kept silent. Suddenly, there was a rush of footstepsing from outside, and Albert''s eyes flickered. Those people seemed to being after her. A wicked and dangerous smile appeared on Charles''s face. "Knock, knock, knock!" "Hello, sir. There is a terrorist in the bar. May I have a check?" Since Jason was attacked in the bar, the hotel manager certainly had toe forward. Especially the guest on the third floor was more distinguished than Jason. Even if he didn''t do it for Jason, he had to ensure the safety of Charles. "Terrorist?" Charles murmured in a low voice and looked at Albert, he was full ofziness. His eyes fell on the gun pointing at his chest intentionally or unintentionally. "Right, a terrorist." His fearless attitude really annoyed Albert. "Behave yourself." The cold muzzle of the gun poked his sturdy chest, which made Charlesugh instead of getting angry. Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g! The eyes under the frame gleamed with strange lights. Then, with a smile at the corners of his mouth, Charles said, "Bro, don''t you forget the hatredst night?" Obviously, they had changed their roles today. Should he step on her, take her gun and sell her out without hesitation? Seeming to understand what he meant, Albert said coldly, "You can have a try." By the way, who was his bro? Albert couldn''t help but feel a little annoyed. Hearing that there was no sound inside, the people outside seemed to be anxious. They took out the key and prepared to open the door. Albert didn''t worry about being discovered by them. Obviously, the man in front of her was more dangerous than them. But if she exposed herself in this way, it would bring her a lot of trouble in the future. At the moment when the doorknob was turned, Albert directly pulled Charles''s belt, pushed him hard and pressed him on the bed. When the group of people rushed in, they saw such a scene. "Shyly", Charles was lying under Albert. His bathrobe was pulled open, revealing more than half of his sturdy chest. His smooth and fair skin was even more delicate than that of a woman, especially his face full of abstinence. His gold rimmed sses reduced a bit of sharpness in him, making him gentler. In contrast, Albert, who was pressing on him, was like a demon who had been dizzy by his beauty. She pressed his chest with her hands and sat on his waist, trying to do something evil. Such a scene made people awkward. But only they knew how dangerous it was. The gun in Albert''s hand was still against Charles''s waist. The hotel manager was bbergasted. The corners of his mouth twitched a few times before he apologized to Charles, "I''m sorry, sir. I didn''t know you were ...busy now... " Chapter 15 Forced To Use It Chapter 15 Forced To Use It While saying that, the manager was about to leave with his men. But Charles stopped himzily. "Wait a minute." Albert''s heart skipped a beat. The gun in her hand drew closer to Charles, and her eyes were filled with sharp coldness. The hotel manager turned around nkly and saw a smile on Charles''s face. It seemed that the person who was in danger was not Charles himself. "Please close the door when you go out." The hotel manager hurriedly said yes, respectfully exited and considerately closed the door. With a cold smile at the corners of his mouth, Charles turned to look at Albert. "Well, can you let go of me? Kid. " Albert said through gritted teeth. "Who are you calling a kid?" The light above his head was a little dazzling, and the teenager''s delicate eyebrows and eyes were so strange to him, but the sharp light in her eyes faintly touched a ripple in his heart. Her long and curly eyshes trembled slightly, and an indescribable sense of familiarity spread in his heart. But in a moment, Charles was still the cold-blooded and ruthless man. "Aren''t you?" She looked like a high school student who was good at group fighting, making trouble in the bar, and bullying "good people" instead of studying hard. With a cold light in her eyes, Albert continued, "The two shots just now have paid back what happened It was strange that she was just a child in his eyes, but Charles could smell the same kind of aura from her. Albert didn''t tangle with Charles anymore. She quickly retreated and jumped out of the window. When she escaped, she threw the gun in her hand back at him. Charles sat up and his sses were slightly loosened. His eyes moved from the window to the ground. The broken vase. Just now, Albert was hiding in front of him, but the vase hit him from his left side for no reason. This unspeakable weirdness made Charles inexplicably familiar. He looked at the blood blooming like flowers on the white quilt. It seemed that many years ago, there was a person who broke into his world with secrets and pulled him out of the dark abyss. How long had it been? After thinking for a while, Charles guessed that it had been eighteen years. If it wasn''t for the age and the gender, he would think that Albert was the one he had been missing for the past eighteen years. Smelling the traces of lime in the air, Charles smiled slightly. He felt that they would see each other again. Albertnded on the ground safely. Her legs became weak and she almost knelt down. Her left shoulder was in pain, and her right hand was still bleeding. Her face was pale and frightening. The small light ball flew out and circled around her worriedly. "Master, you shouldn''t have used the rune manipting skill just now." The rebirth of consciousness had cost Albert too much energy, especially her body could not handle this at all. Albert breathed a sigh of relief, and the hair on her forehead was wet with sweat. She had no choice just now. If she hesitated a little bit, she would really die in the hands of that man. Without the Yellow runes, she could only barely use the hem of her clothes. Sure enough, the uracy was still a little poor. Otherwise, how could the rune manipting skill of the Rong family be that simple? This was the back alley of the Charm Bar. She could faintly hear the noise inside. She held her shoulder and walked towards the dark step by step. No matter it was for the dead Albert or for herself, she had to go back to the Rong family. Jason couldn''t die for the time being, but she would never let him go. The pictures in her phone was enough to put him in disrepute. It was Marcus who taught her such a dirty trick. The Rong family in J City had little contact with the main family in the Imperial City. Without any preparation, she had to fight for the most advantageous position for herself. All of a sudden, there was a sounding from ahead, faint whimpering of a woman and obscene Albert frowned, picked up the stick beside her and walked over there. The small light ball said worriedly, "Master, you can''t fight anymore under such a poor condition." Its consciousness was connected to Albert''s. It knew clearly how much pain she was suffering at the moment. Especially since the forced use of the rune manipting skill just now, her body had been overwhelmed and she might faint at any time. She might not be able to protect herself in such a state. Without any hesitation, Albert tightened her grip on the stick. Memories of the past shed through her mind. The bodies of those men in the dark cage... And in the corner, holding the Yellow runes, she was trembling. In the alley, Valerie was blocked in a dead end by three hooligans. At that time, after she and Sophia left the private room, they were targeted by the men in the bar. Later, no one knew what happened, and the whole bar suddenly became chaotic. Valerie and Sophia were dispersed, and she was directly dragged into the back alley by these men. Although Valerie had never been through this, she knew clearly what would happen next. It was precisely because of this that she was extremely scared. At this moment, she regretted very much why she had agreed to go to the bar with Sophia. Not only did she break up with Jason, but she was also in danger. At this moment, Valerie was scared and resentful. A tall and thin man smiled evilly and reached out his hand to touch Valerie''s face. He smacked his lips and said, "This girl is so young. She must be a high school student ...little girl, is this your first time to Valerie was so frightened that she flinched back, her teeth trembling. She cried, "You ...what do you want? " Another manughed and said, "What do we want? Little girl, we are taking you out for fun. Don''t be afraid... " "Don''t touch me!" Valerie''s voice was shrill and trembling. She gritted her teeth and said, "My father is the county magistrate. If you dare to hurt me, I will let you be in jail for a lifetime!" These men were stunned and then burst intoughter. "Little girl, it turns out that your father is the county magistrate. We''re so scared ...but I haven''t tasted Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g! the taste of the county magistrate''s daughter, ha-ha... " Those men didn''t take her words seriously at all. Instead, theyughed wildly. Staring at their ugly faces, Valerie''s heart sank. Was she really going to be destroyed by these hooligans today? "Come on, don''t be afraid. We will be very gentle..." The men couldn''t wait to stretch out their hands to Valerie. Valerie was frightened and cried out for help. "No! Don''t touch me. Go away! " Chapter 16 Keep A Distance Chapter 16 Keep A Distance "Let go of her!" A cold and clear voice came from behind. The three men stopped for a moment and turned their heads. Then under the dim moonlight, they saw a thin teenager standing at the entrance of the alley with a stick in "his" hand. The three of them looked at each other and burst intoughter. One of them took out a knife from his pocket and said arrogantly, "Hey, little brat! Don''t you have any homework to do? How dare you meddle in our business! Get out of here! " Valerie squatted in the corner in fear. When she heard the voice, she was half relieved and half surprised. To her relief, someone finally heard her cry for help. To her surprise, it was Albert! If it weren''t for the love letter incidentst time, Valerie might not know the existence of the loser in ss Three. She gave the love letter to the dean by herself. She wanted to teach Albert a lesson and let "him" know that not everyone was qualified to write a love letter to her. Therefore, Albert had to pay the price of being criticized by the whole school. But she didn''t expect that when she was in the most awkward and helpless situation, it was Albert, whom she despised most, who saved her. Albert didn''t know that the person inside was Valerie, nor did she know that the love letter was sent out by Valerie herself, which made herughed at by the whole school. She couldn''t stand the bullying, no matter who it was. Because of the fear and disgust in her heart, it was the shadow that lingered on her mind. Albert didn''t say anything more to them. In theirughter and threats, she directly waved her stick at them. Even if she was physically and mentally weak, she was not that fragile. At least, it was not a problem for her to deal with several hooligans. The small light ball flew up and down to show its concern about Albert. In a moment, the meny on the ground and howled. Albert threw the stick to them and walked to Valerie. Her voice was not that gentle, but it was not difficult to tell the concern in her words. "Are you okay?" With tears in her eyes, Valerie stared at the teenager in front of her. She couldn''t help thinking of the scene that Albert saved Rena this morning. Although Albert had been looked down upon by her, now she was as brave as a knight. Valerie''s heart beat faster for no reason. She bit her lower lip and shook her head stubbornly. "I''m fine." Albert reached out to her, and Valerie hesitated for a moment, but still put her hand in Albert''s hands. Albert pulled her up directly. Perhaps Valerie was so scared that her legs were weak just now. When Valerie stood up, she staggered and fell directly into the arms of Albert. The teenager was really thin, but she still caught her firmly. Valerie, who hadn''te out from fear, wanted to bury herself in Albert''s arms and cry. However, after Albert caught her, she quickly helped her up and even took a step back. She said in a somewhat alienated tone, "Go back quickly." Valerie''s face suddenly froze, and her fingers curled up slightly, she looked at Albert like a fool. Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org. Didn''t Albert like her? Why did Albert push her away at such a good opportunity? Although Albert''s face was pale, she still stood straight and didn''t let anyone see through her. Perhaps it was because she was used to wearing men''s clothes that she had been very careful in this aspect since she was a child. Especially when she was close to someone, she subconsciously wanted to distance herself from others. Albert didn''t say anything more. She turned around, and her thin and tall back, like feathers, gently scratched Valerie''s heart. Valerie followed her steps. When Albert walked outside, she had disappeared at a very fast speed at the corner. At that moment, Valerie even had the urge to catch up with her, but Sophia''s anxious voice came from behind. "Valerie..." Sophia ran to her, out of breath. She looked at Valerie worriedly and said, "You disappeared as soon as I turned around. Where have you been?" Looking at her friend, Valerie thought that she was almost humiliated tonight, and it was all Sophie''s fault. She couldn''t help but feel a little resentful for her, and her tone became a little indifferent. "Never mind. If there''s nothing else, I''ll go back first..." It seemed that her father was right. Sophia''s grades were not excellent, nor was her family background superior. She shouldn''t have been friends with Sophie. Just like tonight, if Sophie didn''t tell her about Jason, nothing would happen. Valerie thought in a distorted way. Her love affair with Jason was over. Even her dream to be Mrs. Rong would probably be impossible to realize. At this moment, she couldn''t help but think of the teenager in white, who had stretched out "his" hand to her in the dark alley... Sophia called her several times before Valerie came to her senses. Sophia asked in confusion, "What''s wrong with you, Valerie? Are you still sad about what happened to Mr. Jason? " Valerie frowned in disgust, "Don''t mention him to me." Even if he was the future sessor of the Rong family in J City, so what? His private life was so messy that he even fell in love with Ivy. Valerie would never be with such a tasteless person. Sophia breathed a sigh of relief. "That''s good. In my opinion, Mr. Jason doesn''t deserve you, and that Ivy ...should we find someone in school to teach her a lesson? " Sophia chattered behind Valerie, not noticing that Valerie''s attitude towards her was not as good as before. With wounds all over her body, Albert went back to Carol''s house. To her surprise, the couple hadn''t gone to bed yet. They stayed in Ivy''s room, not knowing what they were talking about, and Ivy''s cry came faintly. Albert didn''t want to get involved in their business. She went back to her room and applied the medicine she bought casually from the roadside pharmacy to herself. The small light ballyzily in front of the table, staring at Albert''s pale and almost transparent face, and sighed faintly. "Master, if it goes on like this, when can we go back?" It shared life and death with the Rong family, or in other words, with Albert. It knew what was on Albert''s mind. But considering her current situation, it was difficult for her to live on, let alone go back to the Imperial City. The red potion had a pungent smell, and it hurt a lot when it was applied on her shoulder. With a slight frown, Albert struggled to apply it for herself and said in a cold voice, "What''s the rush? I have to take revenge one by one... " When she knew that it was Jason who had sent people to kill little Albert, she almost understood the conspiracy. In little Albert''s memory, James had lied to her mother, Charlotte. After Charlotte was pregnant, James had cut off contact with her because of the threat of his wife, Simone. At that time, Charlotte also knew that she had been abandoned by James. After giving birth to Albert, she had even boldly raised little Albert as a boy. Chapter 17 Simba Chapter 17 Simba Maybe she was not reconciled. Simone only had two daughters. The reason why Charlotte did so was probably to take revenge on James. Unfortunately, she was killed by Simone before she brought her "son" into the Rong family. Only Albert was left to live with Carol and her family. Maybe Charlotte was for the high position and great wealth, or maybe she just wanted to revenge James, it was true that she treated Albert very well. It was no wonder that Albert hated the man named James from an early age. Later, he even forced to live with Carol. Under the pressure of Carol and Ivy, the hatred in her heart was still growing. But now, Jason, who was supposed to be in J City, came to this remote small county. He didn''t live in the big hotel, but stayed in that bar. Obviously, he didn''t want others to know his whereabouts. Albert could almost guess the reason why Jason tried so hard to kill her. It was that James knew her N?velDrama.Org owns all content. existence and wanted to take her home. She vaguely remembered that among the younger generation of the Rong family in J City, there seemed to be only one boy, Jason. ording to the rules of the Rong family, the position of the head of the family could only be passed down to male. If James did not have his own son, then the next position of the head of the family could only be passed down to Jason. The rtionship between James and Kelvin was not very good. So in order not to benefit his brother, James might send someone to take Albert home. Albert dressed the wound casually and stared at the phone on the table with an evil smile on her face. Of course, she wouldn''t let go of Jason so easily, but she had to settle ounts step by step when she got into the Rong family. Albert might have a unique physique from ordinary people, so she recovered very quickly and the wound on her shoulder was much better after resting for a night. However, maybe it was because she forced to use the rune manipting skill yesterday, she felt a little mentally insufficient today, and her face was a little pale. As soon as she opened the door, she saw Ivy pushing her bike and walking out unwillingly. Ivy happened to see Albert. She rolled her eyes at Albert impolitely and went out with a thud. Fromst night till now, Ivy had been holding back her anger. Last night, not only was she scratched by the mad woman Sophia, but also she failed in hitting on Jason. When she came back, she was caught by Carol, who had scolded her for a long time. Now, she hated Valerie and Sophia. Ivy thought of the previous love letter incident as soon as she saw Albert, how could she be nice to Albert? The corners of Albert''s mouth twitched. She turned a blind eye to the hostility of Ivy. In the early morning of October, there was a slight breeze, and camphor trees were nted on both sides of the road. With her schoolbag on her arm, Albert walked slowly and apanied by a little white cat. Such an eye-catching scene attracted many people''s attention. Looking askance at the excited little white cat at her feet, Albert raised her eyebrows and asked, "Are you sure you can do this?" The cat called her name softly, but only Albert could hear it. "Master, don''t worry. It will only consume a little spiritual power at most. In this way, I can protect you." Rubbing her eyebrows helplessly, Albert said, "As long as you are happy." This was a new skill unlocked by the small light ball. Perhaps it had been suppressed for a long time. The first time it ran out, it was extremely urgent to touch the world. Albert took a few steps forward, only to find that the little white cat was still struggling to follow her. She bent over and picked it up. The little white cat meowed cutely and looked at Albert with its big watery eyes. Looking at it, as if thinking of something, Albert gently smoothed its hair. "I can''t call you little light ball all the time." She lowered her eyes slightly and said in a low and clear voice, "How about I call you Simba?" "Meow!" Standing at the corner of the street, Rena saw the teenager holding a small white cat and lowering her head. Rena didn''t know what she was talking about to the kitten, but her eyes were strangely gentle. Rena was stunned. It was strange that the teenager had been in the same school with her for two years, but in the past, Rena seemed not to know her existence at all. asionally, she learned from her ssmates'' gossip that there was a person named Albert in ss Three. But since yesterday, the name of Albert made her heart beat faster for no reason. Just like now, looking at her from a distance, Rena felt that the world had changed a little. Rick rode his bike and rushed over. He braked sharply beside Rena, trying to frighten her. However, Rena didn''t look at him and kept staring at the opposite road. Rick frowned in confusion. Following her gaze, he saw that Albert was holding a white cat and whispering something strangely. After what happened yesterday, Rick had already regarded Albert as his idol. With his eyes shining, Rick waved at Albert excitedly. "Albert! We are here! " Hearing the voice, Albert looked over. What he did also frightened Rena. Her eyes were erratic and her face was a little red. She grabbed her dress uneasily until Albert came to her, but she didn''t dare to look up. Needless to say, her face was as red as a tomato. With a bright smile on his face, Rick zipped his schoolbag and joked, "You were alwayste for school. Why are you so early today?" His gaze fell on the kitten in her arms, and the tone was rather disgusting: "Why do you still like these kittens and puppies that girls like? I should show you my ''Great General'' someday. He is really fierce! " Just like Rena, Albert was toozy to care for him. He felt helpless about Rick''s foolishness from time to time. Rick was so energetic. No one answered him, but he still kept talking. Rena calmed down a little bit and raised her head shyly, with her hands behind her back and fingers twisting uneasily. "Good morning, Albert..." Her voice was very soft, with a little imperceptible excitement, and her erratic eyes could not help but focus on Albert. Albert nodded slightly and replied simply, "Morning." She turned her head to look at Rick. Rick was talking about the story that his "General" had won the fight with the dog next door, but was pulled and pinched by Rena secretly. "Rick, hurry up. We are going to bete." Rena smiled brightly, but her eyes were threatening. Rick gasped in pain. He looked at Rena and then at Albert, and realized that he seemed to be overexcited again. He scratched his head and chuckled, "Let''s go now." Rick pushed his bike, and the group of three walked side by side. In the middle, Rick was joking around. Rena was not so nervous in front of Albert then. Chapter 18 Must Be Expelled Chapter 18 Must Be Expelled Rena was the only beautiful student with excellent grades in her ss who wasparable to Valerie. Although Rick didn''t get good grades, he was good at ying basketball. And he was also good- looking. As for Albert, after the fight in ss Three yesterday, she was even more popr than thest time when she was criticized by the whole school. Especially her neglected appearance, like the prince in the idol drama, made those nympho girls scream. Standing next to Valerie, Sophia saw the three people opposite her and pointed them to Valerie in surprise. "Valerie, look, isn''t that Rena? How could she be with that loser, Albert? " Rena and Valerie were born ipatible. The Lin family was rich and the Shen family was involved in politics. The two families lived in the same vi area. From kindergarten to high school, Rena and Valerie happened to be in the same school and the same ss, which was inevitable to bepared. It was nothing when they were kids. When they grew up, driven by their self-esteem, the two wanted to suppress each other, so they didn''t like each other. Without Sophia''s reminder, Valerie had already seen them. In other words, what she saw was the back that made her sleepless all night. Albert... Last night, Albert was a teenager wandering in the night, dressed in dirty white clothes. Her clean and delicate eyebrows, her slender body, and her vigorous and calm figure made Valerie''s heart beat uncontrobly. Valerie didn''t know why. But at this moment, seeing Albert walking with Rena, talking andughing. And there were more than one person around saying that they were a perfect match. The milk box in Valerie''s hand was squeezed tightly. Sophia was surprised to see her lose control. "What''s wrong with you, Valerie? Are you not feeling well? " Valerie cast a cold nce at her, threw away the distorted milk box and strode forward. Sophia was confused, but she didn''t notice that Valerie had a different attitude towards her, so she still caught up with her. At the school gate, the doorman stopped Albert. "You can''t take the kitten into school!" Hearing that, Albert stopped and looked down slightly. He asked Simba If it could leave first. When Albert got its response and was about to put it down, Rena suddenly said, "Sir, this is my cat. Can you make an exception?" The guard took a look at her and seemed to understand what she meant. He said in a softer tone, "Are you Rena Lin from ss One, Grade three?" Rena nodded. "Since it''s yours, then take it in. I''ll pretend that I didn''t see it." "Thank you, sir," said Rena with a sweet smile. Albert was still a little confused. Rick patted her on the shoulder and sighed, "Bro, this is the benefit of good grades." Rena was very happy that she could help Albert. She turned around and smiled at Albert, as if asking for credit. Albert thanked her politely. In fact, it was okay to let Simba go, but Rena helped her solve the problem, so it was better for her to ept Rena''s help. With a red face, Rena shook her head and said, "If you don''t mind, I can take care of it for you." "That''s very kind of you." Albert put Simba in Rena''s arms. She still had a few scums to deal withter. It was indeed a little dangerous for Simba to follow her. Albert bent down slightly, and the faint fragrance of lime pervaded in the tip of Rena''s nose. Rena''s heart beat a little faster, and she muttered, "It''s my pleasure". It was rare that Albert didn''t miss the morning reading today. When she and Rick walked into the ssroom, everyone in the ssroom looked at her gloatingly. Rick was confused. N?velDrama.Org owns all content. "Why does everyone look at me? Am I too handsome? " Turning her head slightly, Albert found that Jerry''s seat was empty. Before they sat down, the dean came in with several teachers angrily. He stood on the tform and shouted, "Where is Albert? Which one of you is Albert? " All the students looked at the back of the ssroom. They were waiting for a good show. Albert put down her schoolbag and replied casually, "What''s up?" The dean was stunned for a moment, and then asked with some doubts, "Are you Albert Rong?" Albert replied lightly. His doubts were reasonable. In their impression, the former Albert had always been a thin and slovenly loser. But now, it was her, the leader of the Rong family, so she would not be as dispirited as before. The dean mmed the book on the tform angrily. "Come with me!" Rick looked at her worriedly. When he was about to stand up, he was pressed down by Albert secretly. "Okay." She replied obediently. Everyone had thought that with Albert''s "bad temper", she would teach the dean a lesson as she did to Jerry yesterday. But Albert agreed so obediently, which made those students feel bored. In the dean''s office, several teachers sat side by side, looking at Albert seriously. Standing aside, Albert''s English teacher exined for her weakly, "Dean Yan, maybe it''s just a misunderstanding. Albert is a good boy. Although his grades are not very good, it was impossible for him to beat Jerry like that." With a straight face, Dean Yan said righteously, "Miss Xin, so many students saw it with their own eyes. Do you still think I am ndering Albert?" Dean Yan directly named Albert and said, "Come on, tell me whether you hit Jerry or not?" Nodding her head, Albert didn''t retreat at all. She said in a low voice, "Yes, it was me who hit Jerry." Maybe it was because Albert attacked people or because of her attitude, Dean Yan was really angry at the moment. "Listen to him, listen. He confessed himself. Jerry is the son of the secretary of the city. If the secretary was to me, who would bear the responsibility?" Dean Yan said seriously, and many teachers agreed with him, except for Albert, who wore a faint sneer at the corners of her mouth. "Such a student must be expelled!" "Dean Yan." Albert saidzily, "Why didn''t you ask me why I hit him?" Dean Yan red at Albert secretly. When Jerry''s father sent Jerry to the Yiyang High School, he had specially asked Dean Yan to take good care of his son. But now Jerry was beaten like this by Albert. If he didn''t give Jerry''s father an exnation, he would be free from all the benefits in the future. "No matter what the reason is, it''s wrong to hit people. Jerry is in the hospital now, and Albert must be expelled! What''s more, you have to go to the hospital to apologize to Jerry! " "Jerry has a ''powerful'' back. Does it make Dean Yan so scared?" Maybe Albert was right about what he was thinking, or maybe her eyes were too sharp, Dean Yan''s face suddenly flushed, not knowing whether he was angry or afraid. Chapter 19 Being Discredited Chapter 19 Being Discredited "You ...what nonsense are you talking about? " Dean Yan said angrily, "What does it have to do with the background of Jerry? Fighting is prohibited in the school. So many people saw that you hit Jerry first. Is Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org. there anything wrong with my punishment? " The temperature in Albert''s eyes gradually cooled down. Yes, there were so many people. They only saw that she hit Jerry first, but no one saw how Jerry bullied Albert before. "What''s more, Jerry is a well-known good student. You made him hospitalized this time. If he fell behind the lessons, it may affect Jerry''s future. You must apologize to Jerry." "Good student?" A cold smile hung on the corner of Albert''s mouth. Dean Yan snorted, "A weekter, Jerry will take part in a mathpetition in the city on behalf of our school, but now he is hospitalized by you. You not only hurt your ssmate, but also damage the honor of the school. You must be expelled. Is there anything improper?" Albert casually yed with the school badge in her hand and said, "As you were saying, if I can win the honor for our school instead of Jerry, then the ount will be written off once and for all?" Dean Yan was stunned by what Albert said. Miss Xin pulled the sleeve of Albert and felt a little worried. Albert didn''t get good grades. As long as she passed all the exams, she would be fine, let alone taking part in any mathpetition. After a long while, Dean Yan trembled his fingers and said angrily, "You ...what do you think the school is? A ce where you could mess around? As for your performance, everyone in the school knows that you can''t pass any exams. Do you want topete in a math contest? Do you want to embarrass our school? " Albert stood up slightly, even one head taller than Dean Yan, which made people feel a little stressful. She said in a in tone, "Dean Yan, if I can get the first ce in this mid-term examination, I will represent the school to participate in the mathpetition, and absolutely win the first ce. If not, I''m willing to be at the disposal of you. What do you think?" Dean Yan''s eyes twinkled slightly, as if he was suspecting, but he was a little tempted. On the other hand, Jerry meant that he should teach Albert a good lesson. But as a teacher, even if he wanted to help Jerry, he couldn''t be too tant. Therefore, it seemed to be the most "fair" and the cruelest way to send Albert away from school. But now that Albert had said that if she couldn''t win the first ce, she would be at the mercy of Jerry... By then, it would be none of his business. It was obvious to all that Albert''s grades were poor and the mid-term exam would be the day after tomorrow. Even if she wanted to cram, she might not have time. So he didn''t have to wait for the mathpetition at all. Maybe Albert would be expelled after the mid- term exam. After weighing the pros and cons, Dean Yan pretended to nod in embarrassment. "Since you are so repentant, I will give you a chance ...but you still have to apologize to Jerry. " Albert nced at him as if she was mocking him, and nodded obediently. That''s right. She had beaten Jerry into the hospital, of course ...she should pay him a visit. After waiting for half a ss uneasily, Rick couldn''t help but want to rush to the dean''s office. He saw that Albert came back safe and sound, with no superfluous expression on her face. Rick widened his eyes in surprise and asked, "Didn''t Dean Yan embarrass you?" As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Dean Yan walking over with his hands sped behind his back. Standing on the tform, Dean Yan told the ssmates what had happened in the office just now, and especially emphasized the promise that Albert had just made. All of a sudden, the whole ss was boiling with excitement. They all looked at Albert with a yful look. Albert''s expression was light, and Rick beside her was so scared that his face turned pale. "Buddy, are you crazy?" ncing at him, Albert sat down on her seat. Rick rushed up unwillingly and his tone was a little irritable, "Hey, you really don''t want to stay in Yiyang High School, do you? How could you say that in front of Dean Yan? Do you know what will happen if you fail to do it? " It might be a piece of cake for Albert to be expelled by Yiyang High School, but if she confronted Jerry, she would bear the stain for the rest of her life. Albert was not the same as Rick. Rick had his father. If he made any mistakes in the past, his father could just deal with it with money. Rick also knew about Albert. She was raised in her aunt''s house, but she did not have enough to eat or warm clothes to wear, and was forced to do all kinds of work. It was her own efforts that she was able to enter the Yiyang High School. Although her grades had dropped in the past three years, she managed to muddle through until graduation. But now, if Albert made a little mistake, she would lose her diploma. The more Rick thought about it, the more depressed he became. He wanted to rush out and talk to Dean Yan. "I know," said Albert suddenly. Rick looked at her in a daze and heard her continue, "But if we don''t do this, how can we step on Jerry again?" "You ...what do you mean? " The corners of Albert''s mouth twitched. Jerry wanted to trample her on the ground, and she also wanted him to be thoroughly discredited. She had said that she wouldn''t let go of anyone who had hurt Albert. This was also thest wish of little Albert. During the whole day, there was a rumor that Albert, who was in ss Three, Grade Three of the high school, announced shamelessly that he wanted to win the first ce in the mid-term exam. In the past, most of the time, Valerie got the first ce in the exam, so the rumor spread like virus. In the end, it became Albert''s revenge on the "love letter" incident. Because of love and hatred, he wanted to It was Sophia who told Valerie the news. "That guy has gone too far. Who does he think he is? Why is he so ignorant? It''s okay that he had the guts to write a love letter to you before, but now he even wants to fight for the first ce with you shamelessly... I''d like to see how badly he will lose! " At first, Valerie was very impatient because Sophia came to bother her. After listening to her words, somehow, Valerie felt a little happy. "Sophia, you just said that Albert ...Is it because of me that he said so? " "Yes, everyone said so, it should be right." Holding the pen tighter, Valerie lowered her head and couldn''t help smiling. "No, I have to find someone to teach him a lesson! I can''t watch him being so arrogant! " Sophia was about to call for help, but was stopped by Valerie anxiously. "What are you doing? If he has the ability to win, let''s just watch him. We don''t want to be used of bullying others. " Chapter 20 Attract Women Chapter 20 Attract Women Sophia looked at her suspiciously, "Valerie, why do I feel that you seem to be very protective of Albert... Didn''t you hate him before? " Valerie dodged Sophia''s gaze and her heart beat faster when she thought ofst night. "Nothing. You think too much. I don''t know him. Why do I hate him?" "But you said before that he didn''t deserve to write you a love letter, or you wouldn''t have given it to..." Before Sophia could finish her words, Valerie covered her mouth slightly, and there was a bit of viciousness in her usual gentle eyes. "Don''t say these words again!" She didn''t want Albert to know that she was the one who made him be criticized. Confused as Sophia was, she nodded. Valerie let go of her and looked at the math book in front of her. She had a n in her mind. When Rena came to Albert with Simba in her arms, she heard about the farce from Rick. Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org. In fact, she had heard it from others before, but the version waspletely different. Of course, she didn''t believe that Albert would agree to get the first ce in the exam for the sake of Valerie. It had only been one day since they met, but Rena inexplicably believed that Albert was not such a person. As expected, after hearing from Rick, Rena was also worried about Albert. "I''m so worried about him." Rick pinched his forehead. Normally, Albert and he were thest two in their ss. Perhaps that was why they became friends. They hade through for two years with the poor grades, how could Albert suddenly stand out overnight? Rena pursed her lips slightly and suddenly suggested, "How about I tutor him?" Regardless of whether it was toote or not, they had to fight for it, hadn''t they? Rick''s eyes lit up, "That''s a good idea." But he didn''t expect that Albert would refuse without hesitation. "You don''t have to worry about these things." High school knowledge was nothing to her. The two looked at each other and were still worried. Albert suddenly said, "But I need your help..." Standing at the gate of the hospital, Rick scratched his head with hesitation. "Are you really going to apologize to Jerry?" Albert replied indifferently, fiddling with the flowers in her hand. Even if she had the memory of the little Albert, she was still very unfamiliar with many things, so she could only ask Rick and Rena to take her to the hospital where Jerry was. Rick hesitated and said, "Bro, I don''t think it''s a good idea." Jerry was the most vengeful man in the world. If Albert went up now, she might get hurt. Rena also nodded, "Yes, Albert. How about we go with you?" "No, thanks. You can wait for me at the door." Then, Albert walked into the hospital with the bunch of flowers in her arms. There were many people in the hospital. The teenager was wearing the school uniform, her handsome appearance and tall figure, which made several nurses unable to concentrate on work. Just as she passed the corner, a figure came out. Looking at her back, and an amused smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. Charles wore a white shirt today, which was clean and spotless. He was 1.85 meters tall and had an outstanding appearance. He had a pair of gold rimmed sses on the bridge of his nose and a faint and alienated smile on his face. He seemed harmless, only those who hade into contact with him knew how terrible the master of the Gu n was. When Edmund came out with the documents in his hands, he saw that Charles was standing in the corridor, attracting the women around. In order to see him, many nurses either dropped the things in their hands or hit the wall, making a mess. Edmund touched his forehead helplessly. He didn''t have the courage to drag him away, so he had to say euphemistically, "Bro, didn''t I tell you to stay inside quietly?" "I''m bored," said Charles casually, pushing his sses. Edmund shrugged and said, "Well, I have got the materials I want. We can go now." "You can leave first." Edmund frowned, "What do you want to do again?" ''Couldn''t this guy settle down a little bit?'' Charles didn''t answer any of the Gu family''s calls. Since his grandmother couldn''t find him, she called Edmund. Charles felt relieved, but Edmund was the one who had suffered. "There is an acquaintance, I''ll go and say hi." While he was speaking, he had already walked towards the direction where Albert had left. Edmund stared at his back. Did Charles just say that there was an acquaintance? ''Did this guy have acquaintances in this remote ce?''? Albert found Jerry''s ward and pushed the door open. There was only Jerry in the ward. When he saw her, he was so scared that his phone fell to the ground. "What ...why are you here? " Thinking of the day when he was beaten by Albert, Jerry''s face turned pale with fear. Looking at his coward face, Albert sneered. How could he deal with her in this way? "Isn''t it said that Jerry was too ill to get up?" Albert put the flowers on the bedside table and fiddled with them with her white fingers. "So, Ie to see you." Jerry''s face darkened. He didn''t feel scared as before, but more disdainful. "So you are here to apologize." Albert straightened up with her hands in her pockets. "Yes, Jerry, will you forgive me?" Jerry grinned hideously and gritted his teeth, "That''s impossible! Albert! Let me tell you, what happened yesterday is absolutely not over! " She beat him like this, making him embarrassed in front of so many people. How could he let her go so easily? Although Dean Yan had called Jerry to exin the situation to him, Jerry still felt a little uneasy. He knew that others didn''t know. In fact, Albert''s current grades were actually his. It was Jerry who asked Albert to change the examination paper with him every time he took the exam. Jerry could be in the top ten of the grade steadily only because he had stolen the grades from Albert. Although Albert might not be as good as Valerie and Rena, Jerry didn''t want to let any possibility exist. It seemed that Albert was smiling. Her face was indifferent and her tone was a little cold. "It seems that Jerry has forgotten what I said yesterday." Yesterday, she said that he''d better stay away from her if he didn''t want those things to be exposed by her. But Jerry didn''t seem to listen to her. Instead, he asked Dean Yan to back him up. He didn''t n to let it go, so she didn''t have to be lenient. Jerry was just a nobody. She really didn''t have much energy to deal with him. But now it seemed that she could take this opportunity to prove for the little Albert. Jerry trembled, "You ...what do you want? " "Nothing. I just want to ruin your reputation..." Jerry''s face turned pale at her light words. Chapter 21 Make A Deal Chapter 21 Make A Deal The moment Albert walked out, she slightly turned her head and took a look at the flowers on the table. A meaningful smile appeared at the corners of her mouth. As she turned around, she suddenly froze when she saw Charles. With a smile, Charles''s low maic and hoarse voice made a charming vibration. He leaned against the wall, with his gold rimmed sseszily on the bridge of his nose. The color of his thin lips was a little cold, and he exuded a sense of rxation and calmness. "It seems that this young man is doing something bad again..." He was ying with a delicate lighter with his slender fingers. The shing graphics on it made Albert a little familiar. Without looking carefully, the man had already held the lighter in his hand. The warmth in Albert''s eyes instantly faded away, and her tone was cold. "Why are you here?" As she spoke, a defensive wall rose from her body. It seemed that Charles had found an interesting toy. A bloodthirsty and excited light shed through his eyes under the shade of sses. He walked up to her, leaned over and smelled her. A faint fragrance of lime dispersed the unpleasant smell of disinfectant in the hospital, which inexplicably made Charles like it. However, Albert subconsciously stepped back, but she didn''t expect that the man suddenly reached out to her, pressed her shoulder and forcibly controlled her. After struggling for a while, Albert gave up. Looking at Charles, her eyes were full of danger and coldness. Charles hooked his lips, lowering his voice, and said, "Why are you looking at me like that? Do you want me toe clean about what you did to mest night? " Albert clenched her fists. Why did it sound like she had done something shameful to Charles? The man in front of her was too dangerous. Albert didn''t want to have too much contact with him, and she didn''t want him to find out her secret. She could only try her best to calm herself down. "Sir, if there is nothing else, can I leave now?" Staring at her eyebrows, Charles couldn''t find any familiar traces, and the temperature in his eyes also dropped a little. He let go of her shoulders, and Albert quickly withdrew from a safe distance and looked at him cautiously. Charles adjusted his sses and said indifferently. "Kid, you seem to have a grudge against the person inside. Are you interested in making a deal?" Without hesitation, Albert refused, "No, thanks." Charles was not annoyed, "You''d better cooperate with me. Otherwise, I can''t guarantee the safety of your two ssmates downstairs." He didn''t like others to refuse him. Albert had provoked him several times. He could still keep her alive. The first time was because she ran fast, and the second time was because of the inexplicably broken vase. He was curious about what kind of surprise she would bring to him. Hearing what Charles said, Albertughed instead of getting angry. "You can have a try." Threatening? Threat was thest thing she feared in her life. In order to get the rune manipting skill, Ashley threatened her with her life, but Albert didn''t give in. If Charles really had the ability, Albert would take his surname! The master of the Rong n was not someone to be trifled with! After saying the harsh words, Albert ran downstairs in a hurry. At least she had to confirm the safety of Rick and Rena. After all, Charles was not a guy who could be easily ignored. Rick and Rena were ying with Simba. When they raised their heads, they saw Albert running down with a serious face. Rick hurried forward and asked, "Bro, is everything fine? Did Jerry embarrass you? " After taking a look at them, Albert felt a little relieved. Then she looked at Simba, who was still in a daze, and her face returned to normal. "No. It''s gettingte. Let''s go home." Rena looked at the sky and said with a smile, "You agreed to go out with us yesterday. Do you want to go back on your word?" Rena pinched Rick secretly, and Rick nodded immediately. "That''s right. Bro, you can''t stand us up." Albert frowned and seemed to be a little resistant, but finally she nodded. The three of them left the hospital together. When they walked out of the gate of the hospital, Albert couldn''t help but look back. There was nothing unusual, but she felt a little uneasy. Standing in front of the window, Charles watched the figure go farther and farther, as if he was staring at a prey, with a sharp light shing in his eyes. It had been a long time since he met such an interesting person. How could he let her go so easily? Charles raised his hand, and a school badge was quietly lying in his palm. When he put his hand on her shoulder just now, he sessfully took off the school badge on her chest the moment she quickly retreated. He opened his thin lips and whispered, "Albert..." This name was also very interesting. He remembered that the little kid of the Rong family was also called Albert. What Albert didn''t know was that she had been targeted by Charles. She also didn''t know that the amusement park was the fun ce Rena mentioned. Just standing outside, listening to the screamsing and going inside, Albert, who had always been quiet, couldn''t stand it anymore. On the contrary, Rick and Rena went to buy the tickets excitedly. Simba put its head on Albert''s shoulder and rolled its big eyes. Albert knew that it couldn''t be quiet, so she patted it on the shoulder and let it run out to y. Rena came with two bottles of milk tea. Rick behind her took the ticket and held the snack. The three Albert was a little behind and her eyes fell on the horizon. At this time, the sun had set. It was dark, and lights of thousands of families were lit up. Especially in the amusement park, there were all kinds of dazzling lights. Around her were the people who were ying. Everyone had a smile on their faces, and there were people apanying them. Only Albert, alone, upied a strange body in this strange city. She was like a demon that couldn''t see light. She always disguised herself. Perhaps it was because she had experienced a lot of different things since she was a child. Albert was more precocious than other children of the same age, and she was very clear about her responsibility, not to mention treating herself as a girl. Perhaps it was because of that, no one suspected that the master of the Rong family was actually a woman. Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org. Her grandpa and her parents were trying their best to maintain the century-old glory of the Rong family, but eventually they were killed by the ungrateful person they raised with their own hands. Ashley, the little girl who used to call her "brother" in a sweet way had been dyed ck by the big dye tank of the Imperial City. For power and money, Ashley could even turn around and stab Albert without hesitation, even Albert''s family. The corners of Albert''s mouth lifted into a smirk. ''Just wait and see. I will definitely let them pay a painful price!'' She thought! Chapter 22 Announce The News Of Alberts Death Chapter 22 Announce The News Of Albert''s Death At the same time, in the vi of the Rong family in the Imperial City. In the gorgeous white European style room, the wind passed through the big French window and blew up the gauze curtain. The person lying on the big round bed suddenly woke up. She opened her eyes wide and looked at the darkness of the room, her heart beating fast. The door was pushed open. Ashley''s mother Ramona Qiu turned on the light in the room, and Ashley closed her eyes ufortably. "Ash, what''s wrong?" Ramona walked quickly to the bed, sat on it and looked at her with concern. Ashley threw herself into Ramona''s arms, her face was pale. "Mom..." She called Ramona in a trembling voice. Ramona patted her on the shoulder tofort her. She was over forty years old, and her face was somewhat simr to that of Ashley, but she didn''t look old at all. She said gently, "Did you have a nightmare?" With a hint of panic in Ashley''s eyes, she grabbed the sleeves of Ramona and said anxiously, "I dreamed of Albert. I dreamed that he was back and he came back to take revenge on us." Ramona frowned, still coaxing very patiently, "Ash, it''s just a dream. Albert is dead. What are you afraid of?" Ramona''s words couldn''t calm Ashley down. That dream was so real. She watched Albert climb out of the fire. "He" looked like a demon, shouting to take her to hell. Ashley''s fingers turned pale because of overexertion, and she seemed to be in a trance. "Ash." Stroking Ashley''s hair gently, Ramona said in a soft but determined tone, "Albert is dead. Darren had personally ordered to set fire and burnt him to death. His corpse has been burned to ashes. How could hee back?" Ashley stared at her mom in a daze. Yes, she saw Albert die with her own eyes. After all, she was just too afraid of Albert. Her "brother" was only a few years older than her, but Albert was more frightening than anyone else. Although Albert was young and usuallyzy, everyone knew that the master of the Rong family was also notorious as the evil star of the Gu family. Ashley enjoyed Albert''s love, but she was also jealous of Albert''s talent and power. Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org. Especially when she knew that she was not the daughter of the Rong family, she was more eager to grasp these things that did not belong to her. "Just dress yourself up. Darren is waiting for you downstairs." Ramona didn''t stay long. She knew that Ashley was not the kind of delicatedy from a rich family. Ashley was even crueler than her. No matter how vicious Ramona was in the past, she just set up Albert''s father, Gavin Rong. She was able to enter the Rong family by taking advantage of the child she was pregnant with other man, which was also known as Ashley. She didn''t even think about getting rid of Albert''s mother and bing the legal wife by herself. Because she knew that no matter it was Gavin, Jonathan or the seemingly weak woman, they were not easy to deal with. Let alone Albert. However, it turned out that Ashley dared to hurt the three of them, first Jonathan and his daughter-in- Ramona had to admit that she was very proud of her daughter. Even if she used to be a prostitute, so what? Even if Ashley''s biological father was unknown, so what? In the end, they still upied the Rong family and became the master of it. As for the family of Albert, they''d better go to hell to reunite. Standing in the corridor on the second floor, Ashley saw Darren sitting on the sofa in the living room. The light above his head made his face more handsome and brilliant like a star. The son of the first wife in Gu family, Darren, was also a famous young talent in Imperial City. Without relying on the forces of the Gu family and Charles, Darren established the Starry Entertainment Company and became a tycoon in the entertainment circle. Now, Ashley was the one that was highly praised by him. At such a young age, she had won countless awards. There were even many people iming that she would be the second international actress, Sherry Ning. It was also because of Albert that Ashley was able to hook up with Darren. Albert and Darren used to be good friends. It was Albert who introduced Ashley to Darren. Therefore, Darren signed Ashley under the name of Starry Entertainment Company. For the sake of Albert, Darren gave all the good resources to Ashley. After a while, the two people fell in love with each other. Albert was d to see that they had be a couple. She even said that if Ashley married Darren in the future, she would prepare a big dowry for her sister. The corners of Ashley''s mouth twitched. No matter how much Albert could offer, it was nothingpared to the whole Rong family. She tidied up her dress and went downstairs gracefully. Darren, who was listening carefully to Ramona''s speech, heard the movement and immediately turned his head, and saw Ashley walking down gracefully. She seemed to prefer white. Today she wore a white strapless dress, outlining her good figure. Her hair was casually scattered, and her beautiful eyes were watery. When she looked at Darren, it was all unabashed affection. However, Darren noticed that although Ashley had a smile on her face, her face was still very pale. He could not help but ask worriedly, "What''s wrong with you, Ash? Are you not feeling well? Otherwise, you don''t have to go to the dinner party today. " "She had a nightmare just now," said Ramona dotingly, knowing her daughter well Then her tone became a little dimmer. "Maybe she is still thinking about her brother. She always feels sorry for her brother." Darren''s eyes flickered, with undisguised disgust and indifference on his face. Just for a moment, when he looked at Ashley again, his eyes were full of tenderness. "Ash, he is just a dead person. Why are you sad for him?" "Darren..." Leaning against Darren''s chest, Ashley said in a trembling voice, "I''m just afraid. Do you think my brother will me us? Obviously ...we don''t want him to die either... " Darren patted her back and said, "It''s his own request to die. What does it have to do with us?" Ashley bit her lower lip, "But I haven''t found the key to the ck box. I''m afraid..." Speaking of this, Darren''s face changed and his tone became more serious. "Albert didn''t want to tell us, but I think it must still be in the Rong family. Don''t worry. When you take over the Rong family, everything will be fine." Ashley looked at him with her watery beautiful eyes and said, "Darren, you will help me, right?" Darren smiled and kissed her on the forehead. "Silly girl, you are my fianc¨¦e. I''ll always stand by your side." Taking a look at her watch, Ramona interrupted the two of them and said with a smile, "Well, well. If you talked any longer, you will bete for the dinner." Darren nodded and said, "Auntie, then I''ll take Ash with me." Sitting in the car and looking at the lights outside, Ashley found that the rows of high-rise buildings were all under the control of the Rong family. She suddenly said, "Darren, let''s announce his death to the public..." Darren paused and nodded slowly. Chapter 23 The Bottom Was Going To Take The Initiative Chapter 23 The Bottom Was Going To Take The Initiative The lights were dim, and the amusement park was filled with revelry at night. Albert had been dragged by Rick and his sister to y more than half of the amusement projects. They were so scared that their face turned pale and their legs became soft, but they were still excited to y again. Rick leaned against the wall and looked at Albert with a sad face. Albert was ying with them, but they both vomited and fainted. She was fine except that her hair was a little messy and her clothes were wrinkled. Looking at the map in her hand, Rena closed her eyes and pointed the direction casually. Then she opened her eyes again with a smile on her face. "Okay! Then let''s y this! " Rick nced at it and felt his legs weak. Ferris wheel! Help! Looking at the huge Ferris wheel in front of her, Albert''s handsome face looked obscure in the colorful light. Rena and Rick had already walked ahead and asked Albert toe forward. When Albert was about to walk up, her wrist was grabbed by someone. Her eyes turned cold. She waved her fist at him without hesitation, but was easily controlled by him. Charles held her fist with an evil smile on his face. "You''re very alert!" Albert''s face darkened. Why was this guy again! Was he following her all the time after she left the hospital? Rena and Rick had been surrounded by the crowd to go forward. After making sure that they were on the Ferris wheel, Albert looked at Charles coldly. "Sir, what the hell do you want to do?" She just kicked him and took his gun. They were even now. Why did he still hold her back? "With such a bad temper. You really look like ...a little wolfhound." Charles was not nearsighted, but he was used to wearing sses. He looked very gentle, but in front of Albert, he was still a ruffian and ruthless man. Albert couldn''t break free from his grip. She stood there, only reaching Charles''s shoulder, but her aura was not weak at all, especially her eyes, which were half bright and half cold. Charles slightly bent down and approached her. The light smell of tobo mixed with lime, intertwined, inexplicably somewhat ambiguous. More than one girl said excitedly that they were so handsome. Some of them even secretly took out their phones to take photos. Albert frowned and seemed unhappy. With his eyes half closed, Charles smiled and said, "What''s wrong? Is Mr. Albert not used to being praised? " Albert looked at him coldly and harshly, and saw Charles take out a small school badge with her name on it. The look in her eyes changed. Albert reached out her hand and tried to take it back. But how could Charles let her seed? He took a step back, but he didn''t expect that there was an advertisement board behind him. As a result, Charles was pressed on the advertisement board by Albert. The crowd gasped. Someone shouted excitedly, "Is this bottom going to take the initiative?" Albert didn''t know what a bottom was. But somehow, the face in front of her was very annoying. "Give it back to me." Albert said coldly. Being pressed like this, Charles was not annoyed. His long legs bent slightly to match with the posture of Albert. His fingers twirled the school badge casually, and Charles approached her ear slightly and exhaled. "I can give it back to you." Albert wanted to dodge, but she felt that her sudden reaction would arouse Charles''s suspicion. So she stood still and listened to Charles. "As long as you tell me what happened to the vasest night?" N?velDrama.Org owns all content. Charles didn''t believe the coincidence. Moreover, there were some things that could not be exined by science. And so coincidentally the things were all happened to him. He had been looking for a person for eighteen years, but the person was nowhere to be found. It was not untilst night that he saw the ability to take him back from death again. No, it should be a simr ability. He didn''t see the Yellow rune, nor did he see how on earth Albert made the vase fly out and hit his hand. So he just doubted it. After all, this kind of thing was too inconceivable. But he had seen it with his own eyes eighteen years ago. Albert might not be the person he was looking for. But if they had the same or simr ability, he might be able to find the person through Albert. The person who had tortured him for eighteen years... Hearing that, Albert''s pupils shrank. She was not sure what Charles meant. What surprised her more was that he still remembered the in vase after the chaosst night. That vase was indeed weird. So he was wondering whether she had other aplices or ...rune manipting skill? People only knew that the Rong family was famous for the mysterious rune manipting skill, but no one had ever seen what the real rune manipting skill was. She was not sure if Charles knew something. Even though she had a lot of thoughts in her mind, there was still coldness on Albert''s face. Charles stared at her eyes, as if he was prying into her heart. In this situation, Albert had no choice but to y dumb. "I don''t know what you are talking about." Albert had never been so serious before. With a light smile on his face, Charles said in a rxed tone, "Bro, has anyone ever said that your serious look is really ...adorable. " The word "adorable" was very light by him. His charming eyes and mischievous smile were indescribable noble and elegant. In the past, Albert didn''t want to see him, but now she was curious about who he was. Although the Gu family and Rong family did not interact with each other, she was once a friend of Darren. She had a general understanding of the Gu family. But she could not find out anything about Darren''s little uncle, the master of the Gu family, Charles, whom Darren hated deeply. Therefore, if there was such a person in the Gu family, it was impossible for her not to know. Unless he was Charles... This thought was only a sh, and was denied by Albert. It was said that after Charles took over the position of the head of the Gu family, he had never stepped out of the Gu''s vi. Moreover, he was the head of the Gu family who had countless enemies. If he came out, how could hee to this small town alone? The two of them were so eye-catching that many people around them had already paid attention to them. ncing at the running Ferris wheel, Albert said in an indifferent tone, "I''m sorry, uncle. I have to go back to do my homework now. Can you return my school badge to me?" As soon as she finished speaking, a girl beside them said excitedly, "Wow! The love between uncle and nephew? It''s so shocking! " Albert''s face darkened. What was the little girl thinking about all day long? Chapter 24 One Person And One Cat Chapter 24 One Person And One Cat However, Charles put the school badge into his pocket, pushed his sses on the bridge of his nose and said, "Do you mind if Ie to your house?" "Of course." Albert thought, ''So you''d better get out of here as far as you can.'' "What an ungrateful little guy!" With a slight sigh, Charles smiled and said, "If you want your school badge,e and get it yourself." Staring at his ck trousers, Albert noticed the teasing in his eyes. She snorted and said, "Forget it. If you like it, I''ll give it to you." It was just a school badge. She didn''t care about it so much. She just didn''t like it when her own things were in the hands of others. Compared with the unimportant school badge, Albert preferred to stay away from Charles. "But don''t you really consider my suggestion?" However, Charles was not angry at all. In other words, he had been used to keeping calm. He always faced others in a disguised posture, it was difficult to see his true emotions. Although Jerry was useless, his backer was not someone to be trifled with. Although Albert was capable, it was still difficult for her to fight against them. He could help her solve the problem, but she had to tell him the secret of the vase. But apparently, Albert didn''t want to agree. To take revenge, of course, it was better for her to do it on her own. If Charles helped her, it would save her a lot of trouble, but how could she take revenge for little Albert? What''s more, what Charles wanted was the secret of the rune manipting skill. For this, Albert would rather die than tell Ashley. How could she let Charles know so easily now? Staring at the receding figure of Albert, Charles pursed his thin lips slightly. How many times had she ignored him? Good. For a prey, it would be fun to be disobedient, wouldn''t it? Charles slightly turned his eyes and looked at several people in the crowd who acted weirdly, with an interesting light shing in his eyes. After leaving the amusement park, Albert sent a message to Rick and Rena and went straight home. Such a noisy ce was not suitable for her, not to mention that she had to stay away from Charles. "Meow!" Simba jumped out of the grass with a leaf on its head. Albert picked it up and said in a disgusted tone. "Why are you so dirty?" Simba scratched its ws in grievance. "Master, you dislike me..." "Okay, let''s go home." Albert put it on her shoulder and walked towards the opposite direction of the crowd. A few figures quietly followed her. Simba''s Sapphire like eyes narrowed and its little ears stood up. "Master, there were some people following us." Without changing her pace, Albert touched its head tofort it. "It''s OK." There were people passing by asionally, so they wouldn''t make a move so soon. Besides, this ce was not suitable for her to take actions. Albert specially made a detour to a remote road, where even the streetmps were dark. The shadow on the ground was very light. The dark night shrouded the whole world, and also the people lurking in the night. Those men had been following Albert, but after passing a corner, the teenager suddenly disappeared. "Where is he?" Those people were obviously confused. They looked around but didn''t see anyone. "Are you looking for me?" A cold voice came. Those people looked to the direction of the voice and saw the teenager sitting on the wall, holding a white kitten in her hand. They were both careless, as if they didn''t take the group of people seriously at all. Those men couldn''t help but get angry and shouted, "Bastard, get down!" Lying in Albert''s arms, Simba enjoyed the cool breeze in autumn and the touch of Albert,pletely ignoring the people below. ''Humph! How dare you yell here? You are nothingpared to my master''s little finger.'' Simba Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org. thought. "It seems that Jason has woken up. Did he ask you toe to me despite your safety?" One of the men snorted, "How arrogant you are! How dare you hurt the young master of the Rong family? I think you don''t want to live! " The corners of Albert''s mouth twitched, "Is he the master of the Rong family?" What a coincidence! So was she. "Cut the crap! Guys! Kill her as soon as possible! Revenge for Mr. Jason! " Those men suddenly took out their pistols, loaded them quickly and aimed at Albert. However, just at this moment, a few small stones shot towards them. Such a strong force made their wrists numb, and the pistols in their hands fell to the ground. One of them stood behind and didn''t get attacked. Seeing that his partners were all hit, he looked stern and immediately shot at Albert. In a sh, Albert jumped off the wall, dodged the bullets and moved to him at a very fast speed. The man widened his eyes and had no time to react. He only felt a pain in his wrist, and the pistol fell from his hand and fell into the hand of Albert. The others waved their fists and rushed to Albert. Albert kicked them away directly. Some of them had already picked up their pistols and shot towards Albert. Albert rolled around on the ground and shot at them. "Ugh!" The sound of bullets entering the flesh, mixed with painful screams, one person was shot on the shoulder and fell to the ground. Seeing this, the others did not care about anything else but raised their guns and shot at Albert. Fortunately, there was no one here. Otherwise, such a loud noise would inevitably cause amotion. Albert also knew that the gunshot was so sensitive that it would definitely cause trouble. She must finish the battle as soon as possible. All of a sudden, Albert sped up. Although she didn''t kill them, she still made sure that they couldn''t stand up. It was not that she was softhearted, but that killing people in this ce would bring her a lot of trouble. What''s more, she needed them to go back to report. After she finished thest one, Albert turned the pistol in her hand a few times and turned it back behind her. A dark purple fire lit up the pistol and burned it to ashes. "Go back and tell Jason that he''d better stay away from me if he doesn''t want his photos to appear on the headlines tomorrow," said Albert in a cold voice. Those people looked at Albert as if they were looking at a monster. They couldn''t help trembling, not knowing whether it was because of pain or fear. They had thought that she was just a kid who hadn''t grown up, but they didn''t expect that she could defeat so many well-trained bodyguards in session, and she had the ability to dodge the bullets. Was she a human or not? But since they could survive under her, they hurried to help each other and left. Albert turned around and picked up the kitten on the ground. When she was about to go back, she suddenly noticed a strong sight. Chapter 25 Pollen Allergy Chapter 25 Pollen Allergy Albert turned her head vigntly and found nothing. "Master?" Simba looked at her in confusion. Albert didn''t think too much. Maybe it was her illusion. N?velDrama.Org owns all content. It was not until the teenager and the cat went away that Charles came out from the dark with interest in his eyes. Those losers didn''t see it, but he saw it clearly. Albert''s hand lit up a dark purple fire, instantly devouring the pistol covered with her fingerprints. If he hadn''t seen it with his own eyes, Charles wouldn''t have believed it. And he didn''t expect that Albert was so vignt. "Little thing, I really look forward to what surprises you will bring me..." Charles looked at the school badge in his hand. The two words "Albert Rong" made the smile deeper and deeper in the corner of his mouth. As Yiyang''s students crammed for theing mid-term exam, Albert not only had to win the first ce in the mid-term examination, but also the first in the city''s mathematicspetition, which was a great pressure for everyone. However, in the eyes of others, Albert slept in school all day and didn''t open her book even once. They guessed that she might have given up. Rick was also worried about her. Looking at the sleeping Albert, he didn''t have the heart to wake her up. Rena came here with a lot of documents every day, but Albert didn''t look through them. Rick even doubted if Albert had really given up. Simbay on the head of Albert. Looking at the anxious or gloating expressions of the crowd, it couldn''t help but sigh. It was just a mid-term examination and a mathpetition. With the master''s ability, it would be a piece of cake. Rena came to ss Three again and unremittingly wanted to help Albert with her study. With her sleepy eyes wide open, Albert didn''t disappoint Rena and listened to her. Holding a few books in her arms, Valerie stood at the back door of ss Three and looked at the two people who were very close to each other. The book in her hand was held tightly by her again and again. Valerie ignored the osting and left coldly. Albert had spent a lot of energy for thest two days, but these days, Charles didn''te to bother her. Albert had spent two days very quietly, and it was also the first exam after her rebirth. Dean Yan took several teachers to patrol around the exam rooms one by one. When he saw Albert, who was in ss Three, she had already finished and was sleeping on the examination paper. The examination paper was pressed by her, so Dean Yan could not see anything. He thought she didn''t know how to write the paper so that she gave up directly. He could not help but snort coldly, waiting for her to get out of the Yiyang High School. When his eyes fell on an empty seat in the ssroom, Dean Yan was stunned. "Didn''t Jerrye?" Others might not know, but he knew that Jerry was not seriously injured at all. Jerry could be discharged from the hospital after resting for at most two days. But he hadn''t returned to school yet. What happened? At the same time, in the hospital, Jerry''s whole body was covered with red rashes. As he scratched, the bloody marks were shocking. Not only did he not stop itching, but also made him more ufortable. "Hurry up! Stop him! " Several doctors and nurses quickly controlled Jerry and pressed him on the bed. Jerry struggled and roared, seemingly in great pain. Jerry''s parents looked at their son worriedly, especially his mother, who was scared to cry. "Doctor, how did my son be like this? He was fine before, wasn''t he? " Sweat broke out on the doctor''s forehead. Obviously, he was very tired. Jerry didn''t calm down until the nurse gave him a tranquilizer. "After our preliminary diagnosis, the patient should be allergic, but the specific situation needs to be checked again." "Allergic?" Jerry''s mother immediately denied, "It''s impossible. My son has never had any symptoms of allergy since he was a child, and he has been in hospital for several days. We have been taking care of him. How could he possiblye into contact with any allergy?" The night before yesterday, Jerry suddenly got the skin rashes all over his body, itching and paining. There were no signs at all. And now it didn''t get better, but more and more frightening. The doctor pushed his sses and looked serious. He couldn''t figure out the reason. Since he couldn''t find the cause of the disease, he couldn''t make the next diagnosis. Seeing the flowers in the corner, the doctor was stunned and asked, "The flowers..." The nurse hurried to bring the withered flowers. Jerry''s mother asked in a hurry, "Is my son allergic to the flowers?" Pollen allergy was the mostmon one. But Jerry''s situation was obviously more serious. For a moment, the doctor couldn''t give an answer. Jerry''s father immediately thought of the problem and asked, "Who sent the flowers?" The nurse next to him answered, "It seems to be the ssmate of the patient." After all the subjects were finished, Rick copsed on the desk and whined. Seeing that Albert was calmly packing up her books, he couldn''t help but ask, "Bro, aren''t you worried at all?" "About what?" Rick looked at her inconceivably. Then Albert took her schoolbag on her back and walked out of the ssroom. But she didn''t expect that trouble woulde to her so soon. Jerry''s parents stopped her at the school gate, obviouslying to me her. It was the end of ss. Many students saw the farce as soon as they walked out of the school. With a cold face, Jerry''s father walked up to Albert and tried to suppress her with his authority. "Are you Albert Rong?" Looking at his square face which resembled Jerry''s, Albert knew who he was. "What''s up?" Jerry''s father was irritated by her cold attitude. "Did you hurt my son?" Raising her eyebrows, Albert asked, "Your son? Who is it? " Jerry''s mother rushed up angrily and roared, "Don''t y dumb! Did you poison my son? Why are you so cruel! What did my son do to you? Why did you do such a vicious thing to my son?" Albert''s eyes turned cold. Indeed, the rashes on Jerry''s body were caused by her. She just taught him a lesson. It was already very kind of Albert that she didn''t take his life. She didn''t expect that they would turn against her. What Jerry had done to little Albert was enough to make him die a thousand times. Jerry set her up, beat her up, bullied her, and even pressed her on the toilet. They did a lot of "little tricks" to little Albert every day. She just wanted to get some interest for the dead Albert. Couldn''t Jerry bear it just for now? Jerry''s father stared at her and said coldly, "You are so vicious at such a young age. You should be fully responsible for my son! Where are your parents? Call your parents here. This is definitely not over! " Albert looked around and found that not only the students, but also the teachers rushed over when they heard that the Secretary hade. Chapter 26 A Slap In The Face Chapter 26 A p In The Face "It seems that Mr. Hao misunderstands me." Albert smiled so lightly that no one could notice her sneer. "I went to see Jerry two days ago. He was fine at that time. I don''t know what happened to him after I left. But, Mr. Hao, do you think I have the ability to hurt him in front of so many people?" Simba looked down at Albert. ''Who beat Jerry up in ss Three the other day? Master was getting better at lying.'' Jerry''s mother pointed at Albert with trembling fingers and said angrily, "If it weren''t you, who else would it be? You are jealous that my son is richer and better than you. I know you poor people are not kind-hearted. A student like you doesn''t deserve to stay in this school! " Simba stamped on the woman''s head angrily. Even if it was in a virtual pattern and it couldn''t touch any human except for Albert. "Old woman! Bad woman! How dare you bully my master! " ncing at Simba''s childish behavior, Albert sneered. "Mrs. Hao, you should be responsible for what you said." Mrs. Hao said sharply, "Am I wrong? Everyone knows your situation! You got into the Yiyang High School depending on your grades, and the school gave you a free tuition. Otherwise, with your family''s financial ability, you may not be able to go to high school... My son takes good care of you. I didn''t expect you to be so cruel. " Albert nodded in agreement, "Jerry always takes good care of me." Mrs. Hao seemed to have understood what she meant. Mr. Hao coughed slightly, looked at Dean Yan who was sweating, and said solemnly, "Dean Yan, I hope you can give me an exnation for this matter. The student in your school have made my son miserable. I won''t let it go so easily." "Yes, yes." Dean Yan wiped the sweat on his forehead and hurriedly agreed, "Mr. Hao, we are so sorry for what happened to Jerry. But don''t worry. We will deal with it fairly." Jerry''s father cast a sidelong nce at Albert and said meaningfully, "Such a student doesn''t have to stay in Yiyang, does he?" With an embarrassed look on his face, Dean Yan walked up to Mr. Hao and whispered in his ear about what Albert had promised. Mr. Hao''s eyes became sharp, and he looked at Albert more unfriendly. However, what Dean Yan said was right. If he embarrassed a student openly, he couldn''t convince anyone. Moreover, he got the news that the Rong family in J City seemed toe here recently. He couldn''t make any bad jokes and give the superior a bad impression. Then, Jerry''s father said seriously, "Albert, you are not a kid anymore. You should also be responsible for what you have done. You hurt my son on purpose. From a legal point of view, you should go to jail ...but considering that you are still young, as long as you can kneel down in front of my son to apologize and cure my son''s disease, I will let go of what happened before. " Looking at him indifferently, Albert asked, "Mr. Hao, are you so sure that your son was hurt by me?" Since she wanted to hurt people, she would never leave any evidence. Whether it was thest time she beat Jason up in the Charm Bar, or she fought with the bodyguards sent by Jason, even if they knew it was her, so what? If they had no evidence, they could only mess around. Now it seemed that Jerry''s parents also nned to do so. But if they really treated her as an innocent high school student, they would be totally wrong. Mr. Hao''s face shed with anger, and he shouted, "I thought you were just a kid, but I didn''t expect you to be so scheming. You have done something evil, and now you still want to deny it, right?" Jerry''s father wanted to say something more, but his phone suddenly rang. It was from the hospital. Mr. Hao thought there must be something wrong with Jerry, so he asked, "Doctor, is there something wrong with my son?" The doctor''s voice came through the phone, "No, no, no, Mr. Hao. I want to tell you that the rash on the patient''s body has nothing to do with the flowers. It should be caused by other allergic substances." Mr. Hao''s face was stiff, half green and half pale. Just now, Albert winked at Simba and asked it to put the phone on speaker directly. Therefore, almost everyone around them heard what the doctor said. Everyone looked at Mr. Hao strangely. Therefore, Jerry''s illness had nothing to do with Albert. Then what on earth were they doing here today? Jerry''s mother asked in disbelief. "Well ...how is that possible? " Jerry''s father held his phone tightly and looked around. Many people whispered and pointed at them as if they wereughing at them. Dean Yan felt a little embarrassed too. He wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, came out to mediate the dispute, and said, "It seems that this is just a misunderstanding ...we''ll be fine as long as the misunderstanding is solved. " Jerry''s father said nothing. He had never felt so defeated. He thought Albert was just a high school student and would be too scared to say anything in front of him. He didn''t expect her to be so calm. Moreover, he was pped in the face by the doctor on the phone. But he remembered that his phone was not put on speaker... The farce was over. Jerry''s parents listened to the people around them and wanted to bury their heads in the ground. Considering their identity, they left in a hurry. Before Jerry''s mother left, she didn''t forget to warn Albert. "I''m telling you, you have beaten my son, it is not over yet!" Albert didn''t want to end it so soon either. Simba looked up at her and asked, "Master, are you going to let them go so easily?" Touching Simba''s head, Albert saidzily, "Do you know what the most painful thing is?" Simba thought for a while and asked, "Death?"N?velDrama.Org owns all content. "No," said Albert slowly, "it''s the living death." Sometimes, death was not the best way to solve the problem. What was most painful was to take everything from them, to trample them into the earth, to let them live the life they had despised the most. Jerry''s identity was obvious, and the people in the Yiyang High School didn''t dare to talk about him casually. Everyone was waiting for the result of the mid-term examination, and to see Albert get out of the school herself. On the day when the result was posted, everyone swarmed forward and looked straight to the first ce. "Albert!" A roar of shock burst out from the crowd, and then the people around were all boiling. As for the list, Albert ranked first, while Valerie was inferior to him. Even on the score, Albert was fifty points higher than Valerie, almost reaching the full score. Chapter 27 Playing Hard To Get Chapter 27 ying Hard To Get Everyone was shocked and stared at Albert who had a calm expression on her face. Was this guy under the protection of god? Her previous performance was terrible. How could she suddenly push Valerie out of the first ce? Was she cheating? But in order to deal with her this time, Dean Yan had been watching her all the time, not to mention that there were surveince cameras in the ssroom. Therefore, all the people concluded that Albert was really lucky. Rick was so nervous that his eyes almost popped out when he saw the list. "Bro ...you ...you won the first ce? " Rick held Albert''s hand excitedly, looking incredulous. Albert drew her hand in disgust, "Why are you so surprised?" Rick skimmed her grades, "Full marks for Chinese, English and math. Theprehensive score is two hundred and eighty-two points..." At the end of his words, Rick''s voice was trembling. He covered his chest with his hand and suddenly felt a great blow. These days, he had watched Albert sleep every day, let alone read books. But if she could get full marks in this way, then what did he get after studying so hard? Rena looked at her happily. "Great! Now Dean Yan has nothing to say." It was just a small exam and Albert didn''t take it seriously. However, before reaching her goal, she had to achieve a lot of small goals. This was her first step to clear the name for little Albert. She would definitely take back what belonged to her, one by one... Standing next to Valerie, Sophia snorted with disdain, "He just got the first ce by luck. Why is he so happy? Valerie has always been the first ce. She has never been so proud. " As soon as Valerie came, the students quieted down. Rena had an unfriendly look on her face, especially when she saw Valerie. "Always the first? Unfortunately, she was squeezed out this time. " Rena had always been at odds with them, and Sophia was not polite to her either. "Rena, that''s enough. As the precious princess of the Lin family, aren''t you afraid of degrading yourself by staying with the poor student every day?" Rena got angry at once, "Who the hell were you saying?" Sophia snorted, "Am I wrong? Everyone heard what Jerry''s father said at the school gate the day before yesterday. " "It''s none of your business." "Sophia, if you don''t take good care of your mouth, be careful not to get your tongue cut!" said Rena coldly. "You..." Valerie slightly pulled Sophia who was about to throw a tantrum, and she didn''t say a word from beginning to end. Sophia stood beside her, making Valerie more noble and elegant. Especially Valerie''s face, indeed worthy of the title of campus belle. "Are you Albert Rong?" With a charming smile on her face, Valerie reached out her hand and said gently, "I heard that you won the first ce this time. Congrattions." Squinting at the girl in front of her, Albert realized that she was Valerie. The little Albert didn''t really like Valerie, so she didn''t pay attention to her. Therefore, she didn''t have any memory about Valerie. Albert didn''t expect that the person she saved that night was Valerie. She didn''t stretch out her hand but looked at her calmly, neither sad nor happy. Valerie''s face froze and her hand trembled in the air. Was Albert embarrassing her now? Did Albert forget that she wrote her a love letter before? The boys around were itching to hold Valerie''s soft hand for Albert. However, when they saw that Albert was indifferent to Valerie''s kindness, they hated Albert even more. "What is he doing? Does he look down upon others since he won the first ce? " "That''s right. Valerie doesn''t care about the fact that he wrote a love letter to harass her before. Why is he still putting on airs?" "Maybe he is ying hard to get. He is really cunning..." Perhaps they were jealous that Valerie treated Albert differently, or that Albert really got the first ce in the exam, and the students around her kept saying harsh words. At first, Rena was secretly pleased that Albert refused Valerie''s kindness. But when she heard these words, she was immediately furious. ''Look down upon others? Cunning? What the hell was that?'' It was none of their business that Albert didn''t want to talk to Valerie. On the other hand, Valerie''s face softened a little. If what others said was true, it would be fine if Albert This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?. was ying hard to get with her. But it was really not a gentleman for Albert to embarrass a girl in front of so many people. However, Valerie was wrong. Albert didn''t stretch out her hand or respond to her. Instead, Albert passed her and left... Valerie waspletely ignored. Looking at Valerie''s stiff face, Rena was in a good mood. "s, someone just feels like that the whole world should revolve around her and now gets pped in the face..." After saying that, Rena took Rick''s hand and followed Albert. Perhaps to piss Valerie off, Rena talked to Albert on purpose. To Valerie''s surprise, Albert responded to her very well without the usual coldness and impatience. Valerie slowly put down her hand and clenched her fists. Sophia said angrily, "That''s too much! Who did he think he was! How dare he ignore you! Valerie, you can''t... " "Enough!" Valerie shouted in a low voice. The moment she lowered her head, anger shed through her eyes. Sophia was also an idiot. Valerie had been humiliated enough by Albert in public. Did Sophia still want to make a scene? Valerie''s voice was not loud, but Sophia was frightened to shut up. She knew Valerie best. Although Valerie was usually gentle, she had a bad temper. Sophia still didn''t want to give up the Shen family. Valerie gave her a cold look and turned away. "Valerie..." Sophia hurried to catch up with her. In the crowd, Emily held Ivy''s hand and said excitedly, "Ivey, isn''t that your brother? He really ranked first in this exam! And how could I not find that your brother is so handsome before! " Ivy disdain, "How is that possible? That loser didn''t study hard at school. He was assigned by my mother to work every day at home. How could he have time to study? I think it might be the result of cheating. " Emily disagreed, "But if he cheated, wouldn''t the teacher find out?" Unable to find a word to refute her, Ivy impatiently waved her hand and said, "Anyway, that guy can''t be so powerful!" Chapter 28 Break His Promise Chapter 28 Break His Promise She had lived with Albert for more than ten years. How could she not know what kind of person Albert was? In the office, Dean Yan looked at the examination paper several times. Eventually, he wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and looked terrible. Miss Xin, the head teacher of ss Three, had a pleasant smile on her face, and her tone was more In fact, she just wanted Dean Yan to fulfill his promise. Although she was also very curious about how Albert had made such great progress in a short period of time, the result was here in front of them. Dean Yan was still not reconciled. He asked the teacher beside him, "Are you sure there is nothing wrong with the surveince video?" Miss Xin was a little unhappy, "Dean Yan, are you suspecting that Albert cheated?" Dean Yan snorted, "You know what''s going on with him. How could he surpass Valerie and get the first ce in the whole school in a few days?" Miss Xin couldn''t help but feel a little angry. "The result is obvious. There is no suspicious behavior of Albert in the monitor. And Dean Yan, you knew exactly how many people were sent to watch him during the exam. How could he cheat?" Dean Yan waved his hand impatiently, "All right, that''s it." He didn''t expect that Albert was so capable. Now Albert was the first in the exam. If she was asked to take part in the mathpetition on behalf of Jerry, Dean Yan might not be able to exin it to Mr. Hao. Although it was just a small mathpetition, it was said that several important figures from J City woulde. All the people in the city were preparing for it these days. Such a good opportunity to show up, of course, it should belong to Jerry. In ss Three, Rick held Albert''s hand excitedly, not noticing that Albert''s face was a little cold. "Bro, you are really something! Now, let''s see if Dean Yan has any other excuse to make things difficult for you! " "Why didn''t I find that you have such great potential before? You are my idol!" Albert had been used to Rick''s nagging, so she just let him be. She looked out of the window with an unreadable expression in her eyes. Miss Xin walked in with the textbook in her hands, and the expression on her face was not too good. "Guys, be quiet." Miss Xin looked at Albert with aplicated expression. "About this mid-term exam, I believe that everyone knows your own results. It''s very surprising that this time, a student of our ss has won the first ce in the whole school..." Speaking of this, a smile appeared on Miss Xin''s face. Even her ssmates looked at Albert with admiration. Under the gaze of the crowd, Albert was still calm and didn''t move her eyebrows for just once. Miss Xin sighed. What a good student! Even if Albert didn''t get good grades before, she was still very obedient. Miss Xin did not know how this child had offended Dean Yan. "Miss Xin!" Rick raised his hand and said excitedly, "Can Albert go to the downtown to take part in the mathpetition?" Miss Xin was embarrassed, "Well ...Dean Yan meant that the quota of this mathpetition was given This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org. to Jerry. " Miss Xin also knew that it was unfair to Albert. But Jerry was backed by Mr. Hao. No matter how dissatisfied she was, she couldn''t object to Dean Yan''s choice. Rick''s eyes widened and he smashed the book on the desk. "Does Dean Yan want to go back on his words?" Even Albert''s eyes turned colder. Miss Xin looked at the mockery on the faces of the ssmates and felt ashamed. "Well... Albert... " Albert stood up and said, "Miss Xin, I remember that thispetition held in the city seems to be more than a mathpetition." Although Miss Xin was a little confused, she still answered, "Yes, this time it is aimed at high school students, such as math, English, calligraphy, art and so on. However, Yiyang''s focus over the years has been to participate in mathematics and English, and the quota of English has been given to Valerie and Rena, who are in ss One..." The corners of Albert''s mouth twitched. "In other words, the quota for calligraphy is still avable, right?" Miss Xin opened her mouth slightly. Looking at the somewhat cold and arrogant face of Albert, she was speechless. Did Albert want to...? "Since Dean Yan is going to give the quota of the mathpetition to Jerry, can I take part in the calligraphypetition?" Rick''s eyes widened, "Wait, bro, you ...when did you learn calligraphy? " Although Yiyang High School also had art students, there were only a few of them. Moreover, the school would not put any effort on those art students. Therefore, in the past years, Yiyang had directly quit in calligraphy, art, music and otherpetitions. Miss Xin also felt that Albert was a little impulsive. "Although there is no quota for the mathpetition this time, I believe that if your performance can always be stable, next time..." "Miss Xin." Albert cut her off in a chilling tone, "I''m going to sign up for the calligraphypetition." Next time? This time, she was going to trample on Jerry. She didn''t have so much time to waste with him. Everyone knew what Albert had said in Dean Yan''s office before. They were waiting for her to take part in the mathpetition, but they didn''t expect that Jerry was still the one who took part in the Rumor had it that Albert was coerced by Dean Yan to give the quota of the mathpetition to Jerry. In order to stop everyone from talking, Dean Yan casually stuffed a quota of the calligraphypetition to Albert. Then the news spread quickly and there were dozens of stories. In the end, Dean Yan became a bad person who oppressed the students, while Albert became a victim. Those who looked down upon Albert or were jealous of her before also felt sorry for her. Albert was obviously the first in the school, but she was bullied just because her background was not as powerful as Jerry''s. Sitting opposite to Albert, Rena looked at her writing and painting on the paper, on which there were strange and mysterious symbols that she could not understand at all. "My brother told me that you were going to sign up for the calligraphypetition... Are you sure about that? " Albert said indifferently, "Will I do something that I''m not sure of?" Looking at her calm face, Rena was a little relieved. Then she smiled and said, "But other students thought it was Dean Yan who forced you, so they all defended you." "Wasn''t it?" Albert looked up at her coldly. Rena''s heart trembled and she felt cold all over under the gaze of Albert. Albert withdrew her sight and continued to focus on the "doodles" in front of her. Rena covered her fragile heart and asked cautiously, "But, why do you have to participate in the
