Chapter 296
Fiona returned to campus.
“Fifi, are you really moving into the Lodge residence?”
“You’re not joking, right? That’s the Lodge family we’re talking about!”
In less than three days, Fiona had become the center of attention in her class. A few days ago, a car from the Lodge family had come to pick her up, creating a massive stir throughout the school.
But Fiona had yet to confirm or deny anything, keeping everyone in suspense.
Blushing slightly, Fiona said, “Please, stop asking me. I promised Mrs. Lodge Senior that I wouldn’t talk about it.”
The moment Fiona mentioned “Mrs. Lodge Senior, her classmates‘ eyes lit up with excitement.
“Mrs. Lodge Senior? You mean Brian Lodge’s grandmother?”
“Oh my god, Fiona. Are you going to become the future Mrs. Lodge?”
In their class, no one had ever had the chance to be associated with someone as powerful as Brian.
Fiona’s cheeks flushed even more, “Please, don’t ask anymore. I… I really can’t say anything.”
Her reaction only solidified their suspicions.
Recalling their previous indifferent treatment of Fiona, the group of girls quickly surrounded her, eager to make amends.
“Fifi, we didn’t mean to treat you poorly before. We were just joking around–don’t take it to heart!”
“From now on, you’re my best friend! If anyone dares to mess with you, just let me know, and I’ll deal with them!”
“That’s right! Fifi, when you become the lady of the Lodge family, don’t forget about us!”
Fiona basked in their compliments, feeling a deep sense of satisfaction. Back when she was poor. She hadn’t even dared to lift her head in school. But now that she had moved into the Lodge residence, the very same people were falling over themselves to win her favor.
So, this was what Ariana used to enjoy every day, huh?
“Fifi, tell us how is Mr. Lodge? Is he gentle with you?”
“Yeah. And is the Lodge residence as massive as they say? We’ve heard it’s the largest mansion in Gleaston!”
The mention of the Lodge family made her classmates‘ eyes sparkle with envy. It was as if they’d already pictured Fiona living the life of a rich and pampered wife.
“Please, stop asking. I really can’t talk about it,” Fiona replied, pretending to be even shyer.
One of the girls, eager to flatter her, quickly added, “Let’s not make Fifi uncomfortable. We don’t want to put her in a tough spot!”
“I’ve always said Ariana was unworthy of Mr. Lodge. Only someone like Fifi deserves to marry into the Lodge family.”
“Exactly! I never doubted it for a second. Fifi, don’t forget I treated you to lunch before. Maybe one day you can

take us to see the Lodge residence?”
Hearing this, Fiona adopted an expression of polite regret. Mr. Lodge doesn’t really like having visitors at the house, so… I’m afraid I can’t bring anyone over.”
Her words left the group visibly disappointed.
Fiona knew exactly what they were thinking. These girls were banking on their looks, hoping for a chance to seduce Brian if given the opportunity. She wasn’t foolish enough to give them such an opportunity.
Just then, a knock at the classroom door interrupted their chatter.
Everyone turned to look and saw William standing in the doorway.
“Mr. Kingsman…”
Realizing it was already time for class, the group quickly scrambled back to their seats.
Who knew how long William had been standing there–or how much of their conversation he had overheard?
