    Then, Everett produced a handkerchief, wiped Laura’s hands, and tossed it neatly into the trash can.


    “Goodbye, little trash.”


    With a frown, Laura watched Everett walk into the academy with a smirk on his face and shuddered.


    So far, the ones she had yet to meet were Favian, Winnie, and her grandparents.


    The ones she had met so far, however, were already terrifying.


    The three brothers possessed very different temperaments.


    Xander was very quiet, but his eyes were particrly shrewd. She could tell that he was a bad apple at first sight.


    Everett was the most amicable looking one, but she had the impression that, given his foul temper, he was not one


    to be trifled with.


    Jasper, meanwhile, was a whole other case.


    Despite his hard words, he was soft at heart.


    Though he would sometimes give her the most disdainful looks, she knew that most of those people with the


    worst scowls said the kindest words.


    Therefore, she deemed Jasper the best one.


    “I like him!” she surmised to herself.


    With her schoolbag slung over her shoulder, Laura,skipped into the academy.


    However, the instructions given by her brothers remained at the forefront of her mind.


    Studying was to be her utmost priority. Also, she was to stand up to herself because she was the face of her family,


    and she must do her best to preserve her current position.


    “I must give it my all!” she vowed to herself. “I have to abide by the agreement I made with Zayn!”


    Spurred by the thought, Laura picked up the pace.


    Mandy, who was in ss 3 of 1st Grade next to the preschool ss, wept on her desk as soon as she entered the ssroom.


    As her family was the most affluent out of everybody in the ss, the other girls rushed over to flock around her with concern. “Why are you crying, Mandy?”


    Mandy looked up with tears in her eyes. There were still bruises at the corner of her mouth; her father had beaten. her in a fit of rage the night before.

    Her tears sparkled in her eyes. “Leading a group of people, a little girl came to our housest night to attack my family and thrash the ce. I haven’t done anything to her, but she wanted us to go bankrupt. Then, my daddy told me that this might be thest month I will be attending this school. We would never meet again!”


    The girls could not bear it. They furrowed their brows in despair. “Oh, how could that happen? Your family has such good financial standing. How could they go bankrupt?”


    “That’s right! Your family is the richest among all of ours!”


    Mandy sniffled. “It was because I offended someone I shouldn’t have. In fact, I didn’t offend her at all. That girl is lying. She brought her family to our house to hurt me! How upsetting! Would <i>you </i>remember me if I die?”


    The girls were so distressed that they hastened tofort her. “Don’t say that. I don’t think that will happen. How about you tell us who did this to you? We will help you get justice!”


    Mandy shook her head, sobbing. “You won’t be able to find her. You-”


    She stopped speaking abruptly.


    That was because she had seen Laura pass by the corridor outside.


    Mandy’s expression changed. “Laura?”


    Everybody was stunned. “Who?”


    Mandy rose from her chair and walked to the door.


    Laura was standing at the door of the preschool ss, talking to her teacher and nodding obediently.


    Mandy grabbed her ssmate. “It’s her! I didn’t expect her to pursue me all this way to school! Would you send her packing for me?”


    The girls did not hesitate. “Of course!”
