Meanwhile, Lauren had finally gotten into Sna City Arts Academy after Landon pulled some strings,


    thus granting her a spot as an associate student.


    Lauren quickly began her first week of sses.


    Though she sat in thest row of each ssroom every time and even hid herself behind therge


    easel, she still caught the attention of the male students in ss.


    None of them were in the mood to pay attention anymore. They kept on arching their necks to get a


    peek at Lauren.


    But Lauren was so focused on listening in ss and drawing that she never once noticed the other


    boys. She had to pay attention as she wanted to absorb everything the art teacher was saying. After


    all, Landon had helped her secure this spot, so she didn''t want to waste it.


    When ss ended, Lauren began clearing up her station.


    Some of the male students urged one of their friends forward in Lauren''s direction. The male student


    then took a deep breath and walked over to thest row.


    "Apologies foringte, madam. I was taking a call just now." Angelina walked over to Lauren and


    helped her carry her art tools while resting a hand on her waist.


    Angelina then nced coldly at the male students. That single nce was enough to stun them all.


    She was both beautiful and terrifying at the same time!


    "What are all of you trying to do here? Mess with a young, married woman?" Angeline quipped.


    Married woman?


    The male students were stunned. Many of them cried internally at losing their new prospect.


    "Ms. Lauren is already married. If any of you ogle her again, I''ll sue you all for harassment," Angelina


    said. She was originally going to say "pluck your eyeballs out" but decided not to go the violent route,


    given these were Lauren''s ssmates.


    Lauren looked down shyly as she walked out of the ssroom. She was blushing furiously.


    "I camete today as I had to deal with some things over at thepany. From now on, I''ll wait for you


    outside ss here," Angelina said. At the thought of those male students, she couldn''t help but still feel


    concerned for Lauren''s safety.


    No wonder Landon looked at Lauren the way he did all the time and even wanted to hide her away


    from the world. Lauren would be put at the mercy of the wolves if she was left outside just like this.


    Angie, Landon and I aren''t married yet..." Lauren blinked rapidly.


    Lauren had felt really happy inside when Angelina called her a married woman earlier, but there was


    still shyness.


    "The only difference is you two don''t have a wedding certificate, madam. You two still love one another


    regardless of whether you are married, no?" Angelina smiled and patted Lauren''s head.

    She continued, "Mr. Harper is already nning the wedding in secret. He''s going to Yoarkley next


    month to attend a royal auction. There is a rare diamond he wants to acquire, and the queen of


    Yoarkley has supposedly worn it before. Mr. Harper wants to make it into a wedding ring for you."


    "Landon doesn''t need to spend that much money for me. All that matters is that he loves me." Lauren


    shook her head lightly, grabbing onto Angelina''s shirt.


    "But Mr. Harper would do anything to give you the best in the world. Heck! He''d even pluck the stars


    from the sky and craft a ring for you with them if he could. You''re worth it, madam," Angelina said.


    Angelina then snorted, "Plus, you don''t need to worry about helping him save money. Besides you,


    money is the one thing he''ll neverck. Spending it is one of his greatest pleasures. Just let him do as


    he pleases, alright?"


    Just then, Angelina received a letter from Landon. She sighed to herself after reading it.


    "Is... Landon noting home for dinner tonight?" Lauren immediately knew why Angelina reacted the


    way she did.


    "I''m sorry, madam. Mr. Harper has been really busy as the board meeting is just around the corner."


    "It''s okay, I understand. CEOs are always really busy." Lauren hugged her teddy bear tight.


    She smiled even as disappointment glinted in her eyes. "I''ll just wait for Landon toe home. Jasper


    also rarely came home in the past because he was always busy. Alyssa would always wait for him to


    come home, not even going to sleep first. Sometimes, when Jasper had too much to drink, she''d still


    look after him no matter howte it was. She never once looked tired."
