Chapter 139 Go to The Grove The footage was randomly shot by a camera in the poorest neighborhood of Memphis.
The owner of a grocery store and an old man picking up garbage were having a conversation.
Suddenly, Xena appeared, holding her nose in disgust.
The video had no sound, but Xenaâs mouth movements were clear-she was calling someone âdadâ and âmom.â
Several friends who always thought of Xena as a rich young lady were instantly petrified, staring wide-
eyed in disbelief.
The video ended, and Evelyn opened the second one. It showed a wealthy residential area and Xena was kissing an obese old man. Suddenly, another woman barged in and viciously attacked Xena on the ground.
Everyone in the school knew that the obese man was the school board member mentioned earlier, and the woman beating Xena was the board memberâs wife.
Several friends stood there in shock, their worldviews completely overturned.
âDespite constantly claiming to detest women like Quetzal from Impoverished areas, it turns out her own family situation is worse than Quetzalâs.â
âSo she took a two-year leave from school luel Chapter 139 Go to The Grove wonder sheâs twenty and still clinging to school.â
âSuddenly, I feel that Quetzal is much better than her. At least Quetzal is genuine and doesnât abandon her parents. Wasnât she just going home to get money in that video? Even her mom tried to touch her, and she dodged away.â
Xena stood quietly, her eyes filled with hatred, staring straight at Evelyn, then she smirked sinisterly.
âAt least, I still have the right to be here. Letâs wait and see. This school, soon, will have no place for Quetzalâ
After saying this, she turned and left abruptly.
The few people who were just mocking Xena a moment ago quickly followed her, realizing their own predicament.
Concerned about Quetzal, Evelyn comforted her for a while before preparing to leave.
At noon, the sunlight was just right on the campus.
A hurried sound of footsteps approached from behind, and when Evelyn turned around, she saw a young couple running into the nearby grove.
It was a scene she longed for during her school days.
Suddenly, she didnât feel like going back home; she wanted to lure Henry into the small grove.
Excitedly, she called Henry, only to find that his phone was turned off.
Evelyn had to call David.
The Wilson Group.
David came out of the meeting room. âMadam, the boss is in a meeting.â
âI donât care. I have an emergency. Make him take the call now.â Evelyn was determined.
âWell⦠please wait a moment.â
Returning to the meeting room, David looked at Henryâs cold expression, hesitating on how to 14 Mon, 26 Feb D Chapter 139 Go to The Grove break the news.
âWhatâs the matter?â
âMadamâs call.â
Boss had never answered anyoneâs call during an important meeting. How dare he bring the phone in at this time?
Suddenly, the phone disappeared from Davidâs handsâ¦
Henry calmly answered the call, and Evelynâs cheerful voice came through.
âDarling, come quickly, letâs go to the small grove.â
Employees present: ââ¦â It seemed like they had discovered an unspeakable secret!
Seeing Henryâs icy gaze sweeping over, the employees were full of fear.
David stood on the side, pretending that he hadnât heard Madamâs words at all.
Evelynâs words loosened Henryâs expression, but he still said seriously, âIâm in a meeting.â
âThen finish it as quickly as possible. Iâll be waiting for you in the small grove.â
With that, Henry put down his phone, âAdjourn.â The next moment, his figure had disappeared from the conference room.
David, belatedly realizing, hurriedly caught up. When he got into the car, Henryâs handsome face already showed clear signs of inpatience.
David shook his head in disbelief: Bossâs principles and stance were nothing but nonsense in front of Madam. He drove at the fastest speed to the designated location.
Evelyn checked the time after the tenth couple entered. Twenty minutes had passed.
She wondered whether to call Henry and urge him. Suddenly, her shoulder was lightly tapped.
âYouâre hereâ¦.â Evelyn turned around, but her smile froze upon seeing the personâs face.
It was a young boy she had never seen before.
The boyâs eyes were shining, and his face slowly turned red under Evelynâs gaze.
14:14 Mon, 26 Feb D Chapter 139 Go to The Grove Embarrassment⦠Heâs embarrassed!
Evelyn pretended to be calm and asked, âWhatâs up?â
.52%
The boy extended a hand from behind him, presenting a gorgeous rose to Evelyn. âItâs for you.
You looked so beautiful playing the piano on stage.â
Evelyn: ââ¦â
Seeing Evelyn not taking it, the boy continued, âAlthough the stage lights were dim, I had a backstage positionâ¦â
âThank you.â Evelyn interrupted, not intending to accept. Before she could decline, a chill ran down her spine.
When she turned around, Henry was standing about three meters away. He had an expressionless face, and the way he looked at the rose seemed like he wanted to cut it apart from a distance.
Evelyn was nearly in tears. What a da mn coincidence.
