Chapter 686

Gloria jolted in shock. “What did you just say?”

She had heard of Jonathan as well. His fame was not accumulated by his talent or accomplishment but

by his womanizer’s way instead.

He was notoriously known as a playboy who would not let any woman he was interested in escape,

and he would occasionally sink into more forceful ways to get the women he wanted.

“Gloria, there are a lot of girls here who are jealous of Vicky,” the blonde woman whispered. “The

rumors…are probably spread by those girls. Judging from what I overheard, I think someone in our

academy is going to help Jonathan with his scheme.”

If Jonathan did not have any help, Vicky might not fall into his trap as she was an extremely guarded

woman. However, if someone from the academy was helping Jonathan, there was a high chance Vicky

might be in danger.

Gloria’s expression darkened. “Do you know where Vicky is right now?”

The blonde woman shot her a look. “Gloria, maybe you should stay out of it… You know who Jonathan

is. Despite all the dirty stunts he pulled to get women, he’s always been fine because his family is really

powerful. I know that you come from an influential family as well, Gloria, but Jonathan

is from Molivia, and we can’t rival his family’s influence here in their territory.”

“Thank you for your advice, Beth, but please tell me where Vicky is anyway,” Gloria said.

“I think Jonathan and his friends were heading toward the back garden,” Beth said. “There’s still some

time before the finale, and if Vicky doesn’t come back in time, you or Aileen have the best chance of

getting selected instead. If you leave now, that chance will go to Aileen.”

Gloria nodded carelessly and stormed out.

In the back garden, Gloria was on her way when she suddenly realized that she alone would not help

Vicky in any way. She might end up getting into trouble as well.

After stopping to think for a few moments, she decided to seek Mister George’s help instead as

Jonathan could not dare to harm Vicky if a teacher was present.

She made a sharp turn to the staff office, only to be stopped by the sound of a melodious male voice.

“Miss Shaw.”

The voice was cold yet pleasant like a stream of refreshingly cold water in the summer.

Judging from the language the man had spoken, she realized that he was from Zendonia as well and

slowly turned to find a towering man standing in the distance.

His posture was elegant and calm as he stood tall like a majestic tree on the clear, breezy night. The

moonlight shone down on him like a veil, creating a mingling of light and shadow that emphasized the

sharp contours of the man’s handsome face, giving him the appearance of a god among mortals.

Gloria’s breath caught in her throat.

As soon as the man had a clear look on Gloria’s face, his eyebrows furrowed. “Sorry, I mistook you for

someone else.”

With that, he turned around and left without hesitation, his back betraying no hint of emotion.

Gloria had a classical and delicate appearance that had won the hearts of countless men since she

was a teenager, and even when she traveled to a different country where beauty standards may differ,

she was still a recognized beauty. This was the first time she had ever been completely ignored by a

man, and she was momentarily stunned.

“Are you looking for Vicky?” she asked, not knowing what prompted her to stop the man from leaving.

The silhouette of Gloria and Vicky were quite similar, and many people had indeed mistaken one for

the other when viewed from behind.

However, they dressed in completely different styles, and anyone familiar with them would not make

such a mistake. Tyler stilled. “Do you know her?”
