In that moment, Albert said to Eileen, “What you saw that day between Elm and Calliope, nothing actually happened. Elm simply had a high fever and took a cold bath. You just stumbled upon them and misunderstood their actions.”
Charlie added. “Exactly; he called us after you kicked him out in the middle of the night. We even took him to the hospital in the early hours”
Eileen was completely unaware of this. Upon hearing the explanation, she appeared remarkably calm.
Calliope clenched her fists, her voice filled with defiance “Yes! So what if we haven’t been intimate? We’re still together as long as he hasn’t broken up with me. Don’t get too corky, Eileen. Your relationship with Jasper won’t last long”
After finishing her statement, she left in a hull.
Albert looked at the calm Eileen, somewhat surprised. “You don’t seem to be angry at all!”
Eileen slightly lifted her head to meet his gaze. Why should I be angry?
With a lighthearted demeanor. Albert smiled subily, offering no further explanation.
Once everyone had left, only Eileen remained. She was just about to leave when a slender, upright young man wearing a Blake shirt and headphones around his neck emerged from behind a tree.
Benjamin touched his neck and said, “I just happened to pass by. I wasn’t deliberately eavesdropping
After returning. Eileen was summoned by Jennifer to the office to collect the test papers from the last
examination.
“Do you have any explanation for this performance?” questioned Jennifer
Eileen shook her head. “No.”
“I don’t want to interfere too much in your affairs. As your teacher, I just want to give you one piece of advice. Love is not a necessity in life. Even without relying on others. I believe that you can create a better life for yourself. Even a seemingly insignificant exam could be closely related to your future path. This time, I’m giving you this opportunity. There’s no need to switch classes. From now on, focus more on your studies.
“I understand. Thank you, Ms. Hayes.
“If there’s anything you don’t understand, you can ask Vera. She’s your sister, right? She has already secured her recommendation spot. You should also work harder and stop being stubborn.”
Eileen nodded. “All right.”
As Lileen left, she heard Jennifer sigh.
Glancing at the report card. Eileen casually tossed it into the trash bin. The average scores were all around the seventies, with a few subjects even failing

She couldn’t afford to retreat any further,
Benjamin emerged front the men’s restroom. Jason shook the water off his hands and reached into the trash can, showing no signs of being a germaphobe. “Wow, she regressed this much? Is she destined to be second best? Well, your scores and Eileen’s are at opposite ends, but hey… you could say you’re first in
way.
Benjamin said, “Mind your own business.
Even so, Eileen continued to do as she pleased. She didn’t return to her classroom but instead went to another building, to her art studio, where she was the only one inside,
While she was adding color with her paintbrush, she accidentally allowed a drop of watercolor to fall, staining the other areas
The place within her that had already been tainted, her heart, suddenly felt as if a string har snapped in an instant. With a wave of her hand, the easel in front of her toppled over, and the paint in her hand was forcefully thrown to the ground
The emotions she had suppressed for so long suddenly spiraled out of control, bringing her a momentary sense of relief.
The water bucket spilled all over the floor. Eileen stared at it for a long time before silently getting up to clean it up. She stepped outside to find a broom. As she walked down the corridor, she heard the pleasant sound of a piano playing, the source of which she couldn’t determine.
As Eileen was tidying up, the sound of the zither swept away her gloom.
She seldom lost her composure, but for some reason, she had earlier.
In the afternoon, when school was over. Jasper was ready to pick her up from the school gate to take her home.
Eileen opened the car door and sat in the back seat
Jasper commanded, “Drive”
Eileen could tell from his tone that something was wrong, but she didn’t know what had happened. The atmosphere inside the car also felt unusually tense.
Looking at the scenery outside the car window, neither of them said a word until they reached the Smith residence.
The car came to a stop.
Jasper was the first to leave the car, showing an unusual coldness toward her.
Edeen didn’t know what was wrong with him.
She also left the car and walked through the entrance.
As soon as they entered, the housekeeper said, “Dinner is ready.”
Jesper walked ought toward the upstairs, his body emanating a strong aura of displeasure that lingered

for a long time.
No one knew what he was angry about.
The housekeeper took Eileen’s schoolling. “Ms. Eileen, what happened to Mr. Jasper?”
Eileen shook her head. ‘Go and prepare the dishes, I’ll take them up to him later.”
“All right.”
Eileen carried the food to his study, knocked on the door, and without any response, she walked in on her own. The vintage study was filled with a strong smell of smoke. He was standing in front of theThis text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
floor-to- ceiling window with a freshly lit cigarette.
Hearing the noise, Jasper didn’t turn around. Eileen placed the food on the table. “If you’re busy with company matters. I won’t disturb you. Remember to eat in leaving now
“Halt!” he ordered.
As his voice faded, Eileen’s heart rose in anticipation. Is there anything else?” she asked, her hands clasped together in front of her.
Jasper dropped the cigarette from his hand, turned around, and looked at her with his unfathomable eyes.
I’ve looked into the adopted son of your father.”
Eric Emotions in her heart rippled when she heard that.
Seeing her silence. Jasper scowled. ‘Abour him… Is there anything you want to tell me?”
He walked over, and Eileen felt a wave of oppression. The chilling aura enveloped her leaving her with nowhere to hide
Jasper seemed to be trying to discern something from her eyes, but she was too calm, revealing nothing
Eileen asked him. “What have you found out?”
Jasper gazed at her intently, afraid that he might push her too hard and frighten her. Consequently, Jasper held himself back a little. “What do you think I will discover?”
“You’re free to investigate him. I don’t have much to say about it. You don’t need to inform me about all this. I’m going to grab something to eat now,”
Tm planning to take control of Caerulus Corporation and strip him of his authority.”
Eileen paused at the door, without turning her head. She spoke with indifference. “This is your decision. It has nothing to do with me. Do as you wish.”
Does the genuinely not care, or is she just pretending not to care? Why did she harm herself to be with him! Is she with me because he rejected her? She cares about him so deeply that she’s even willing to risk her life. Eileen, you be arter cared about me. You can’t even be bothered to offer me a perfunctory remark! Jasper clenched his teeth.
When the housekeeper went to collect the dishes, all that could be seen in the study was a mess scattered acrrow the look
Jasper, who rarely smoked, was sitting on the couch, surrounded by cigarette butts strewn on the floor, filling the room with a suffocating smell of smoke.
