64 Scared Out of Her Wits


    Jane sneered, “Doris deserves it. She did whatever she wanted at school because her father is the vice principal. Now, she got what she deserved. I heard that she cried everywhere and even asked for her boyfriend’s help. But it’s didn’t work either, because it’s said the man that kicked her out was a person no one dares to offend.”


    “Who would do such a good thing for us...?”


    Isabe heaved a sigh of relief, “However, it’s not a good thing to use violence against violence. Besides ... Heavens, I don’t care about these insignificant things at all. I still want to cry because I didn’t get the prize, one million!”


    At the same time, Joseph, who was dressed in formal way, sneezed heavily in the office of the president of the Global Group under the Wilson Consortium.


    “Mr. Joseph, have you caught a cold?”


    Gerry said with concern, “I’ll send for Doctor Morris now.”


    “I am okay.”


    Joseph remembered the awkward situation when he had to have a cold-water bath to suppress his lust after being “seduced” by Isabest night. He frowned unhappily, “What did you say to me just now? Say it again.”


    “It’s Zachary. Mr. Zachary is visiting you again. He has been waiting for more than half an hour.”


    .....


    “I don’t want to see him.” Joseph said impatiently, “Isn’t it because of Doris’ expulsion? Let him go!”


    “Yes.” Gerry said respectfully, “I will immediately refuse him.”


    “Wait.”


    Gerry immediately stopped, “Mr. Joseph, do you have any other instructions?”


    Joseph leaned back on the chair and tapped on the table with her finger. “Zachary is always a troublesome guy. Look, just tell him that his girlfriend offended my girlfriend. That’s why Doris ended up like this. If he bothers me again, I will show no mercy to him.”


    Gerry was stunned but immediately said, “Yes!”


    Seeing Gerry leave, Joseph raised her eyebrows and was about to get back to work when the phone on the table suddenly rang.


    Joseph looked at the number and immediately sat upright. He picked up the phone and respectfully said, “Grandpa.”


    “Yes!”


    “No problem! I thank Grandpa on her behalf. She will definitely like it!”


    “Yes! I will pick her up on my own! Yes! Don’t worry! Yes!”


    ...


    In the student dining hall of Richmond Arts University.


    “Stir-fried peppers!” Isabe excitedly ced the te on the table and said, “Hot stir-fried peppers!”


    “Do you need to be so thrifty?”


    David nced at Isabe’s te and gave her one of his chicken drumsticks. “Every time I eat with you, I feel so guilty that I even dare not eat meat.”


    “Oh? It’s for me?”


    Isabe unceremoniously stuck in the drumstick, “So if you feel guilty, give it to me. I don’t mind!”


    David and Jane were Isabe’s childhood friends. They were close friends of the family. They had yed together since childhood, and they had a strong friendship. They started to form a gang and cause troubles everywhere when they were in kindergarten.


    When she was in primary school, Isabe was smaller than other kids because she was abused in the Smith family and suffered from malnutrition.


    When David and Jane saw her for the first time, they felt that she was easy to bully, so they took her pencil case and bag.


    However, the two fellows became kind and righteous somehow. Not only did they begin to bring Isabe into their small team of two, they also frequently fed her and protected her.


    It could be said that Isabe can live to today was half the credit of these two fellows.


    “What do you give it to her for? She recently lives with a rich rtive. It’s said that there are plenty of delicacies every day.”


    Although Jane said that, she still gave Isabe two pieces of fried fish, “Don’t you see that she is fatter?”


    “It seems to be the case.”


    David looked at Isabe, “Which rtive of yours is so generous? Your father’s rtives? What did he do in the early years?”


    “A distant rtive.”


    Isabe could not say that she had been threatened to be his girlfriend, so she could only casually say, “He just came back from abroad and wants to live with me for a few days.”


    The phone rang.


    Isabe picked up the phone.


    “Where are you?”


    Joseph’s voice came through the phone. He nearly roared because his neighborhood was noisy for some reason.


    “I’m at school.” Isabe immediately replied.


    “Of course I know you are at school! I’m asking the exact location.”


    “Dining hall!” Isabe hurriedly looked around and said, “It’s the third dining hall. Is there anything? You....”


    ...


    Before Isabe could finish speaking, Joseph hung up the phone. Isabe held the phone and said disdainfully, “Why is this man like this? Can’t you hang up after I finish?”


    “Who is it? Look at your expression. You seem to be quite helpless.” Jane giggled.


    “I am rather helpless.” Isabe sighed, “A strange guy.”


    “Oh, man or woman? I like strange guys. Why don’t you...?”


    Jane suddenly stopped talking and stared fixedly at Isabe’s backward direction. Isabe raised her head and saw David also looking at her back.


    Isabe suddenly felt that something was wrong and turned around.


    “Miss Isabe, Mr....”


    “Oh, my dear cousin!”


    Isabe shouted, stopping Gerry’s words and pulling him out of the dining hall.


    Jane looked at David, “Does Isabe have such a handsome cousin?”


    “Probably he is that distant rtive? He dresses in Armani from head to feet. Hey, a rich man! No wonder Isabe can eat big meals every day!”


    Outside the dining hall.


    ...


    Isabe propped up her knees and gasped, “Gerry, why do you suddenlye to our school?”


    Gerry’s breathing wasn’t disturbed at all, and he expressionlessly said, “Mr. Joseph wants to see you.”


    “See me?”


    Isabe leaned against the wall and continued panting, “Why don’t you tell me on the phone if he wants to see me? We can talk about it when I go back at night.”


    Gerry said respectfully, “You can ask him this question yourselfter.”


    “...”


    Isabe looked at Gerry’s poker-face and gave up struggling. “Alright, where is he?”


    “On the yground behind.”


    “Not bad. There aren’t many people there. He’s keeping a low profile this time.”


    Isabe muttered as she walked back to the yground.


    Something thundered.


    The wind started to blow. Isabe saw many people running past her and felt perplexed, “What are these people doing? Put away the sheets because the wind suddenly blows up?”


    After that, she almost was scared out of her wits as soon as she passed the corner.


    A helicopter stopped on the grass in the middle of the yground. The propeller at the top of the helicopter thundered and rotated, making a loud noise.


    The trees in the surroundings waved wildly as the students piled in piles.


    “Mr. Joseph is on the ne.” Gerry reminded.


    “Oh My Gosh!”


    Isabe scratched the wall, “I was just praising him for keeping a low profile. Can’t he just show up like a normal person? Does he have to take a helicopter?”
