Chapter 29
Vette pulled a piece of candy from her pocket casually and offered it to John.
John had just blown off some steam and was feeling a lot better. But now, he felt a bit awkward. When he saw Yvette handing him the candy, his embarrassment grew. He wiped his hands on his shirt and reached out to take the candy, wanting to save it forever.
Yvette seemed to catch on. She shook her candy box and said, “Go ahead and eat it. I have plenty more.
John’s face turned red. He worried Yvette might think he was weird, so he explained quickly, “I just want to save it for later.” Yvette didn’t push it. “Just eat it. It’ll help your wound.”
John didn’t take that too seriously. He figured she was just trying to cheer him up. Carefully, he unwrapped the candy, and a sweet aroma filled the air. After he finished it, somehow, he felt better- even his leg hurt less, and he chalked it up to his imagination.
Thanks, Yvette,” he said, feeling grateful. If it weren’t for her today, he couldn’t imagine how dark his future might have looked. Her presence felt like a ray of light in his life.
Noticing that Yvette had fallen silent as she munched on candy after candy, he felt uneasy. “I don’t even know how to repay
you I
Yvette suddenly looked up at him, a strange expression on her face, and asked, “Do you have any money?”
Money: What did she mean? Does she need cash? John was startled. Worried he didn’t have enough, he quickly assured her he could grab more from his dorm while pulling out the remaining 60 dollars from his pocket.
Yvette’s eyes lit up when she saw the money. “Come with me.
John didn’t dare ask questions and simply followed her. She led him to a new milkshake shop right at the school entrance. ordering. Ten cups of banana milkshake.
The staff at the milkshake shop recognized Yvette immediately. She was the kind of stunning beauty one couldn’t forget, especially since she had come in earlier that morning and ordered three cups all for herself.
“50 dollars, thanks. the cashier said.
Yvette turned and motioned for John to pay up. John was still in a daze, lost in thought.
With a slight frown, Yvette said, a hint of annoyance in her tone, “Are you trying to stiff me? Just lend me 60 dollars for now, and I’ll pay you back later”
John couldn’t believe that Yvette liked milkshakes. He’d always assumed someone from a wealthy family would be sipping fancy coffee at high-end cafes. “No, I… I’m not trying to skip out on paying. I’ll pay, I promise!”
Yvette’s frown softened, and she looked at John more favorably. A classmate who would buy me milkshakes? Not too shabby!
About ten minutes later, John was juggling ten cups of milkshake Yvette was sitting on a bench by the road, ch**ng one cup after another
John was stunned. ‘Wow, her appetite for milkshakes is off the charts! How could a girl drink this much? Doesn’t she care about her figure?’

After thinking for a while, he began with concern. “Uh, Yvette, will today’s incident cause you trouble? Victor won’t let this slide easily. And there’s Rebecca. She’s quite a force at Argrol University. I’m worried they might go after you.”
Yvette turned her head, a playful glint in her eyes. “John, when you have real power, any scheme against you is just hot air.”
Without waiting for John to respond, she grabbed the last three cups of milkshake and walked away. “What’s up with that guy watching me?”
John got her words-real power came with real authority.
Across the street, in a Maybach, Jeremiah had been staring at Yvette for a solid ten minutes. Watching her down cups of milkshake while sitting next to a guy who seemed like little more than a friend was driving him ins
After finishing his shopping, Andrew returned to find Jeremiah staring off into space. He followed Jeremiah’s gaze and saw a girl chatting with a boy.
‘Look like students from Argrol University? Are they dating? Andrew wondered. The guy seemed pretty average, but that girl was gorgeous-he felt tempted to go say hi.
“Jeremiah, check out these college students. They seem so happy, dating and sipping milkshakes like it’s some sort of sweet romance. I’m so jealous. As soon as Andrew spoke, a chill ran down his spine. What’s going on? The air conditioning isn’t
even on!
Jeremiah clenched his jaw, his dark eyes narrowing, ‘Sweet romance? I’d like to see just how sweet it really is.
At the Carter residence, Victor stormed in and knocked over the perfectly arranged fruit platter the ser**nt had set up. Ripe,. red strawberries rolled across the plush carpet, and to top it off. Victor stomped on them, creating a mushy mess.
The noise echoed through the house, grabbing the attention of Victor’s parents.
Robert and his wife, Yulia, had always wanted a child. Victor wasn’t their second son-he had an older brother who unfortunately passed away. So, the couple spoiled him endlessly, which only fueled Victor’s reckless behavior, with Robert/ always swooping in to clean up after him.Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
After Victor took such a hit to his pride, his mood spiraled “You b**h! All of you-just bi**s!”
Robert and Yulia surveyed the chaos in the living room, bewildered by their son’s apparent breakdown. “Victor, what are you doing?”
Victor squeezed out, “What am I doing? Mom, Dad, do you even know what Rebecca did today? She made me apologize to Yvette and a nobody! The whole school was watching-everyone saw me get humiliated. How am I supposed to show my face on campus now?”
“What? Rebecca made you apologize? Are you serious?” Robert’s expression darkened. He didn’t even ask for details. In his eyes, his son should never have to apologize for anything.
Yulia felt the same way and wondered what this had to do with Yvette. She pulled Victor aside to calm him down, instructed the servant to clean up the mess, and asked the butler to call Rebecca and have hepcome home.
To cheer up Victor, Yulia secretly bought him a limited-edition sports car. It finally calmed him down, and he agreed to wait for Rebecca to come home and explain everything.
Rebecca had been busy all day sorting out company issues. She didn’t even have time to eat before getting a call urging her rush back home.
When Rebecca finally returned, the three had just finished dinner and were sitting in the living room enjoying some imported fruit-Robert and Yulia hovered around Victor, taking turns feeding him. Seeing this, Rebecca rolled her eyes and thought. Spoiling him like this is just going to ruin him. Actually, he’s already a mess!”
As Rebecca walked in, the three just ignored her as if she wasn’t there. She let out a cold laugh and turned to leave.
“Stop right there! Where’s your manner? Why didn’t you greet us when you got home? Robert scolded.
Rebecca was exhausted and didn’t want to argue. She shot back. Just get to the point. I have things to do at Grandpa’s.”
Robert glanced at his accomplished daughter and felt no warmth toward her. ‘What got into Dad? Why is he so determined to push Rebecca while being cold to Victor? All these years, I’ve never had a good relationship with Rebecca.
Just explain why you made Victor embarrassed today, Robert demanded.
Rebecca looked at Victor and was stung by the hatred in his eyes Taking a deep breath, she replied, “The one who embarrassed him isn’t me-it’s him. Why don’t you ask him what he did? He nearly took out a student from the physics. department, and he even asked his lackeys to humiliate Yvette in public! How old is he? Is this how he should behave!”
Victor knew he was in the wrong but refused to admit it.
Yulia chimed in, “So what if he hurt a guy? We can afford to pay for it, right? Why should Victor apologize? That’s just embarrassing
Robert nodded in agreement, believing that Victor could never do wrong.
Rebecca felt utterly helpless. No matter how big of a mistake Victor made, her parents always found a way to shift the blame elsewhere-it was never Victor’s fault.
Tll say it again. If Victor keeps getting away with this behavior, Ill make Grandpa take back his shares. Just think over it. Oh, and I’m here to relay Grandpa’s message. Don’t mess with Yvette. Otherwise, you’ll face the consequences. With that, Rebecca stormed out, leaving the three in shock.
Don’t mess with Yvette? What’s so special about that girl from the countryside?’ the three thought dismissively.
