Lucy had skipped her required classes too.Jessie didn't ask her about it. As she thought the dorm would be empty tonight, she took the bus home after her afternoon classes.Ever since Wilson passed away, Jack spent his days trimming branches and tending potted plants to make sure they'd thrive next year.When he saw Jessie return, he immediately set down his shears. "Back so early? No more classes?""Yeah, Lucy's not around, Shirley went on a date, and I was bored alone in the dorm, so I came back," Jessie said as she walked over to him. She noticed the sunflowers blooming in vibrant colors at his feet and couldn't help commenting, "These flowers stay in bloom for a long time, don't they?""Under the right temperature, they could stay in bloom until the end of October," Jack replied."Why are you alone? Where's Harry?" Jessie asked. At this hour, Harry shouldn't be sleeping."He's here for business meetings too. He's with a client at a hotel right now," Jack said before taking

Helena listened to what Harry said without making a sound. She was terrified that the cops would think she was trying to file a false report."We'll still need to check the surveillance footage here. We can't just go off what you're saying," one of the police officers said. After all, the guy who got beaten up was still crying for justice nearby."Of course," Harry replied without a hint of guilt.The moment Helena heard they were pulling the surveillance footage, her whole body tensed up.Harry shot her a cold glance.She felt a chill down her spine. She forced herself to remain calm by silently looking at her feet."Sorry about this. The cameras on this floor are down for maintenance. Happens when the system runs for years and nobody clears the storage. It froze up and crashed. We called the tech team, and they said we need a new unit. Ordering one takes time. Really poor timing," the hotel manager explained.The police officer frowned. "What a coincidence.""But we do have e

[So self-absorbed.]Jessie replied.She put her phone away and said to Helena, "His name is Harry. Harry Jacobson.""Alright, thank you, Jessie. Please thank your friend for me too." Helena knew that even if they might not want to speak to her, she still needed to thank them for helping her."It's fine. I'll tell him," Jessie said calmly.After returning to the dorm, she found Lucy playing her game."Aren't you going to class?" Jessie saw her laughing and goofing around with people."I just didn't feel like it. Shirley's having a blast. She went on a date again today." When Lucy found out Shirley was skipping classes, she decided she'd do the same."What if you fail your grades? You're not even going to required classes." Jessie walked to her own seat and sat down."I'll deal with it then. Shirley's not around, and you always keep to yourself. There's nobody for me to gossip with. I'm so bored," Lucy groaned.Jessie raised her brows but said nothing.Ronny spent an entire we

Jessie couldn’t help but laugh along. “I’m just teasing you.”Jack snorted. “You say Jessie's the nicest to you, and yet you don’t bother maintaining a good relationship with Shirley. You keep making her mad every day.”“If she were really my girlfriend, I’d be treating her like a queen! Shirley had it coming. She even tried to steal you from Jessie. For that alone, I’ll remember her for years!” Ronny exclaimed.“Thanks, Ronny.” Jessie felt touched that he cared so much about her.“Oh, don’t be so courteous. I already said you’re like our sister. Of course I’m on your side.” Ronny waved it off casually.After Shirley sent him the address, Harry glanced at it.“Got the address. Jessie and Ronny can swing by the Smiths at some point. Mia’s going to freak out.”“Speaking of, Mia made a fortune in the Stewart family and sold Freddy off for a big payout. She should be insanely rich abroad. Why would she risk coming back?” Jessie was still puzzled by this.“Maybe she’s involved in so

“Oh, so you do realize I'm eighteen now?" Shirley instantly got angry. “I thought you didn’t even remember it was my birthday that day!”“Shirley, didn’t we already explain? He's in his mid-twenties, over seven years older than you, and his family is based in Rossenville City. Your dad and I want you to find someone from Jefferville City, so we could never agree to you two dating,” Margaret explained.“I’m going to be with him anyway.” Shirley lifted her chin defiantly.“You can be with him if you want, but get out of this house immediately! We don't have a daughter like you!” Benjamin stood up and pointed angrily at the door.“Shirley, just listen to your dad. We only want the best for you!” Margaret quickly got up and sat beside Shirley before trying to calm her down.“If Shirley likes him, why are you two being so harsh?” Mia spoke up. Her eyes were full of sympathy.Shirley was about to lash out, but Ronny held her back.“If your parents don’t like me, then I’ll leave,” he s
