"Uh, well…"

Suddenly, Francine found it hard to tell Stefan the truth.

After all, she knew better than anyone how much he loved Renee. However, Renee was going to marry another man. It must be a big blow for Stefan.

"What's wrong?" Stefan narrowed his eyes and studied Francine, who was acting weird.

"Nothing! Let's eat. It's the New Year. Let's eat together." Alexander found it cruel to expose the news to Stefan since it was the family reunion day, so he changed the topic of the conversation.

"Fine." Stefan stopped raising questions and walked straight toward the dining table.

Francine watched his back and hesitated. She was about to speak up when Alexander held her wrist. "Calm down."

Alexander whispered to her, "Let's eat first. Don't ruin the New Year for him."

"Yes, you're right. I should calm down."

After some contemplation, she felt that Alexander was considerate. She nodded and decided to wait until after the New Year.

It was a grand feast.

    The students immediately dispersed and returned to their seats. "Mr. Lyons, a genius student came to our class! She's more outstanding than you!" The male student with black-rimmed glasses, who was amazed by Renee's exceptional resolution, excitedly introduced Renee to Andy Lyons, his class teacher."Nonsense! Do you think you're very good at your studies now? Why did you mention a genius? How many times have I told you? There are no geniuses in the world. There are only those who work very hard!" Andy said solemnly and nudged his glasses. He sounded very much like a class teacher.The reserved female student copied Joanne's words and proudly introduced Renee, "Mr. Lyons, Jace didn't exaggerate. This young lady is amazing! If you don't believe me, you can test her. She can answer all kinds of questions. Plus, she graduated from BC University and was a master's student at a renowned foreign college. She had published a lot of academic papers, too."Renee sometimes had the power to

    The car drove along the street and finally reached Joanne's current high school, Beach High School, the best high school in Beach City. Joanne was studying in a senior class, which was considered a grade retention. Most students there failed to achieve promising results during their college entrance examinations. Hence, they would repeat the course and sit for the examination again the next year.Hence, Joanne wasn't considered awkward there. Besides, the students were busy studying and would not get involved in a lot of tricks. As a study companion, Renee could smoothly enter the class since Quinton had informed the school in advance. "Wow, here comes another beautiful lady!" When Renee and Joanne arrived at the classroom, the students, who were absorbed in their studies, praised Renee generously. "Joanne, what's her name? What are her results? Is she going to retake the examination like us?"A quiet young woman, who was Joanne's deskmate, was looking at Renee curiously. S

    "He came home just to see me, and buy nice food or beautiful clothes for me. I still looked forward to his return, though my biological brother and mother would always snatch away those things. I was too timid to tell him that, because I knew that he had a very hard time. "He wasn't doing any better, so I didn't want him to worry about me. I was worried he might find fault with those people and have a more difficult time. I was the happiest when he came home to see me every month and spend some time with me. I didn't want to ruin that happiness."Joanne hated Quinton very much. But undeniably, he had given her the warmest happiness, though he had also given her the deepest pain. It was the medicine that had helped cure her wound. When she recalled her past, she felt that she might have long given up and killed herself were it not for Quinton's return when she was being bullied."You're so silly! Those wicked girls would only get more outrageous if you wanted to keep the peace. Th

    Renee found herself gradually attracted to Joanne's description. She asked, "What happened? Why did those boys who had bullied you suddenly become quite polite to you?""I didn't know what happened at first. But later, I heard a rumor that a boy liked me. That boy could be considered a powerful and influential figure at school. He was the school bully.""School bully?" Renee laughed at the nickname. She found it childish. But for a good student like Joanne, she would find such a man frightening. "You found it childish, too? Nowadays, those bullies are just gangsters who love car racing. But I was terrified every day I got out of school. I was worried someone might dash out to do something bad to me!" At that point, Joanne smiled helplessly.A trivial affair appeared like something very serious to her in the past. She had led her life in fear. "Did that school bully harm you in the end? Was he the one who traumatized you?" Renee asked curiously. Based on the usual teenage n

    "How could I laugh at you? I'll only feel sorry for you." Renee held Joanne's hands and silently encouraged the latter to relax. "Of course, you can keep those unhappy things buried in your heart if you don't want to tell me.""I…"After a brief hesitation, Joanne decided to be brave. "I trust you and rely on you. So, I want to tell you. I hope there are no secrets between us." Joanne held Renee's fingers firmly.She was vigilant toward others and would not easily befriend people. She had no friends from when she was young, but she naturally let down her guard in front of Renee. Joanne wanted to be close to Renee. She wanted to be Renee's best friend, someone who was more important to her than her lover.It was because she found some kind of reassuring power in Renee. It helped her relax. Plus, she did not have to worry about being abandoned. "Sure, tell me. You have my full attention." Renee adjusted her posture and looked at Joanne seriously when she learned that Joanne wan

    Monday was particularly stressful and gloomy, as if it were full of resentment from the working class.But Joanne was delighted. She wore her school uniform and happily rode in the car to go to school with Renee. She never expected that Renee had meant it when the latter promised to go to school with her. "Ms. Everheart, thank you so much! Not only did you give me a chance to go back to school, but you also gave me the chance to experience going to school with my bestie."Joanne kept her head hung in embarrassment. "Let me be frank with you," she whispered. "When I was in school, my classmates resisted me because of my family. I was always alone and never had any close friends." It was something that filled her with regret.Other young people were reckless and happy, but she was gloomy and miserable. When she sometimes dreamed of it at night, she would tremble all over. Besides, it was not as simple as having no friends or being resisted by her classmates. She had also been se

    "There's luck on your face! Hahaha!" Renee thought she was being funny."Your cheeks are getting chubby lately. You aren't as slim and weak now. I knew he's good at taking care of people. He did what he promised. He helped you gain weight," she explained. Previously, Joanne was weak and malnourished. Hence, they decided to keep Joanne there to live with them. At that time, Quinton quietly decided to help Joanne get healthy. He couldn't bear to see her that weak. He would study delicious food whenever he was free. Besides, he was experienced in that. After some time, he became no different from an expert chef."Stop teasing me, Ms. Everheart," Joanne said shyly, keeping her head low. She found herself in a difficult position. Initially, she refused to stay in Everheart Manor or have anything to do with Quinton. However, both Renee and Quinton were very enthusiastic. Joanne stayed because she yearned for such warmth. Still, her decision to stay seemed to have carried another

    Quinton stopped walking and looked at Joanne quietly. It was the first time Joanne had spoken to him after such a long time. Hence, he was being extra careful. He was worried he might scare her and drive her away when he spoke. "Let's dine together," Joanne whispered. She quickly sat at the dining table, buried her head, and started eating."Huh?" For a moment, Quinton had no idea how to react. Anxiety gripped him until he became uneasy. He was used to her fear and resistance toward him. It was torturous for him to see her suddenly act friendly with him."Hey, she asked you to dine together. You were busy the whole morning. Let's dine together!" Renee suppressed her laughter. She supported their romance.Besides, Quinton's cooking skills were admirable. He made such a special lunch. There were appetizing prawns on the table, along with softly baked buns and fried churros. All of the food was appetizing at first glance. "Quinton, I'm sure you'd make a great celebrity chef if

    Renee knew Joanne was too shy to accept others' charity. Hence, she purposely made things clear to ease Joanne's mind. "Thank you, Ren. You and Stefan are great guys. I can't survive without you guys." Joanne became teary as she sincerely thanked Renee.When her life was engulfed in darkness, Stefan rescued her from danger and helped her get away from the pain temporarily. Then, Renee guided her and motivated her to live. Yet, such great people had separated. As an outsider, Joanne found it a pity. "You're exaggerating. We're nice to you because you deserve it. Just stay here and go to school with ease of mind. You don't have to take Quinton seriously. You have to believe that he's reborn just like you. He's no longer the crazy guy who went mad when he fell out with others. You don't have to be afraid of him." Renee hoped that Joanne could relax for real, and the cause was Quinton."I know." Joanne bit her lips and whispered, "When you were away at North City, he and I got al
