After the three of them joined the group , they walked towards the place where the challenge was taking place .
" Welcome ! Which game do you want to play ? " said the man with a welcoming smile .
Claire looked at Chloe and opened her phone ." Sign the check first . " said Claire .
" Claire , aren't you being a bit too rude now ? " said Chloe .
" I am simply making sure that you keep your word . I wouldn't like it if the situation were to end up with an excuse . " said Claire .
" You should keep your word Claire if you want me to keep mine . " said Chloe .
" I always keep my word when I say it . " said Claire and directed the phone towards herself then started to record a video .
" Hello everyone ! I am Claire . Chloe challenged me to win these puffs and she will pay me a hundred thousand dollars if I make it but if I fail I will have to kiss her feet in front of the whole school . She is so generous that I do not find it in my
" Wow ! You are amazing . " said Nolan with his thumbs up at Claire ." I am glad to have impressed you . " said Claire with a smile ." You did impress us in a very unexpected way miss . Didn't she bro ? " said Nolan with a smile .Edward stared at Claire with an amazed expression . He didn't want to admit it but it was indeed impressive that she was able to find the way to throw all the thirteen cans with just one bullet .' I hate to admit it but it was impressive just like Nolan said . She is such a poor and pauper girl but her intelligence sure is to be praised . What a pity that she is a greedy person ! ' thought Edward with a smirk ." Beginner's luck........... " said Edward with a serious expression ." You realize what you are saying sounds extremely false and boring , right ? " said Claire with a smirk .Chloe was burning with anger and she had enough of it when she saw her talking with Edward and Edward paying attention to
" It's a great opportunity . Now that you have also taken so much money from Chloe , it will be easier for you . I am really happy for you Clarie . You deserve it . Also , don't be sad about Chloe's words . She is always arrogant like that . " said Carol patting Claire's shoulder . " I am not sad . It's the truth and I can't deny it . That is the reality in which I live in . " said Claire with a forced smile . " Awwww.......you are gonna make me cry . " said Carol with her eyes tearing up . " Ha ha ha ha ! You can't continue to be such a crybaby anymore . I won't be around so you need to take care of yourself . " said Claire patting her head . " Please don't go ! I want you here . " said Carol hugging her arm . " Ha ha ha ! I need to go , especially after slapping Chloe . I can't stay here anymore or else she will make my life a living hell . " said Claire with a smile . " Claire...........did it feel good slapping her ? " said Carol w
" Eee.......Great ! " said Claire looking at her mother's smile relieved .Her phone rang and she saw that it was the assistant of the dean calling her ." Who is it ? " asked Melani when seeing her daughter's face turn serious ." The dean's assistant . " said Claire with a troubled expression and opened the call ." Hello , miss Claire ! " said the dean's assistant ." Hello ! " said Claire ." I wanted to congratulate you for winning the scholarship abroad . It's a huge blessing for you . " said the dean's assistant with a smirk ." A blessing I highly deserve , don' you think so ? " said Claire with a chuckle ." I called you to inform you that you need to come tomorrow to sign the papers needed for your acceptance . If there are no problems , you will be able to leave for abroad five days later . Everything has been arranged and there will be some people waiting for you at the airport . " said the dean's assistant .
" Edward........I know you don't want to ever meet your family but...you have to go there Edward . You must be present in your grandfather's funeral ceremony . " said madam Collen with a sad tone . " Madam Collen , I........ " said Edward a bit hesitant . " Please Edward ! " said madam Collen . Edward also wanted to go but he was afraid that his presence would bring more trouble than solutions . " I...understand . I will come back madam Collen . See you at the ceremony. Edward..........you should come . " said madam Collen . " That's the right thing to do Edward . Don't worry about what anyone else says . You will not be staying there for long anyways . I will also be there to back you up . " said madam Collen with a relieved tone . After closing the call , Nolan came inside Edward's office inside his apartment and saw his demoralized expression . " What's wrong devil king ? Are you lost in thoughts on how to spend the one and
" Give me all the money that's in there or I will shoot you right on the head . " said the thief with a harsh tone . Everyone in the store started to panic . The thief pointed the gun at another saleswoman which was hovering and ordered her to close the front door of the store , blocking the people inside the store . The ceiling of the store opened and another thief came inside . In comparison to the other thief who was wearing all black clothes and even his mask , the other thief was wearing a grey mask . The people around were even more terrified . They couldn't even move . " If anyone dares to pick their phone or call other people I will shoot them . " said the thief with the grey mask and shot a bullet towards a glass exposition . " Ahhhh ! " yelled the girl near the glass and immediately fell on the ground covering her face with her face . " Little Ed...... " said madam Collen scared and worried . " Calm down madam Collen . " said Edward
The thief with the grey mask pointed his gun at Claire but it was useless , again . Claire escaped all his bullets . ' Damn it ! That short bitch is capable . I have to make her surrender in one way or another . ' thought the thief with the grey mask , annoyed . He took the woman standing next to him and pulled her from her hair . " Ahhh ! Please don't hurt me......Let me go ! " said the woman crying in fear . " You really are a shameless bastard . Grabbing a woman in such a way...........You deserve to rot in prison . " said Claire with an annoyed expression when she saw him grab her in such a forceful way . " You........You........You........stay away or I will kill her . " said the thief with the grey mask , pointing his gun at the woman he had taken as his hostage . Claire grabbed another metal stick in her hands and threw it on his knee so hard that made him lose his standing balance . She didn't waste any time and took the girl a
" I have been well . I finished university and I was offered a job at a prestigious company . " said Claire with a smile ." Really ? That's great ! Your life is getting better . " said madam Collen ." Yes ! A lot better . " said Claire ." I am so happy I got to see you again . " said madam Collen ." Me too madam Collen . " said Claire with a smile ." Look , little Ed ! A surprise , isn't it ? Claire this time didn't save only me but you too . " said madam Collen .When Claire heard the name little Ed , she was immediately reminded of the rude jerk she met back then .' No.........it can't be him . He would never wear such serious clothes . The last time I remember him , he had a bit of his hair dyed his hair . He would never have the image of a good boy . He is just a bastard . ' thought Claire with a forced smile .The two of them looked at each other's eyes and for a second it was as if time had frozen around them . Mada
Madam Collen couldn't keep her laughing anymore . When Edward heard the laughs he turned his head and saw it was madam Collen ." Madam Collen........ " said Edward with a pessimistic expression ." Pffft......Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha !!!! Little Ed.........you really........Oh , my....pffft.......I have never thought a girl would actually behave like that with you . I understand that you left a bad impression on her when you two first met but I never knew that she would bear such a huge grudge against you . Pffft ! " said madam Collen as she continued to laugh ." You see it madam Collen ? This is the girl you think is as kind as an angel . Look what a lunatic she is ! " said Edward ." You are wrong little Ed . Last time you were the one who splashed water on her with the car , this time , she wasn't the one who splashed the water on you . It was a pure coincidence which is often referred to as karma . " said madam Collen ." Heh.....Madam Collen
