When Keanu found Zephyr’s assigned seat and sat down, he realized Francis had been arranged to sit beside him.
When the two handsome men vat together, the homeroom teacher, Miranda, felt that this parent–teacher conference would be slightly complicated.
Because at that moment, the attention of the other parents did not seem to be on her
“Francis, may I ask which student you’re here for?”
Keanu still couldn’t hold back his doubts
After all, the look Francis had given Samantha just now…
If he was being honest, it had made him feel a little uncomfortable.
Francis glanced at Keanu with a dark look in his eyes.
“You can clearly see the situation, but you still want to pretend you don’t know what’s going on?” He sneered.
Those cold, indifferent words point–blankly rendered Keanu speechless.
Yes, he had gathered that Francis was here on behalf of Samantha for the parent–teacher conference.
But privately, he had hoped it wasn’t as he thought.
Because he knew the type
pe of person Francis was.
Vicious, ruthless, and willing to do whatever it took to achieve his goals.
Since childhood, Samantha had been so innocent. If she were involved with him, it would not end well
Keanu thought for a while and couldn’t help saying, Francis, Samantha is a good girl. I hope you don’t hurt her.”
“Hurt?” Francis chuckled. The air pressure in the room suddenly dropped
He was immensely hostile as he snarled, “Why do you think I’m going to hurt her? Hmm?”
Keanu felt a chill run down his back. Subconsciously, he straightened in his seat before he said, “The two of you are from wholly different worlds. You won’t marry her into the Gurray family, yet you continue to give her false hope and play with her feelings. Why?”
This was what Keanu assumed. He thought that Francis was only interested in Samantha’s beauty now. She would be a breath of fresh air in his life. He would play with her for a while before abandoning her when he got tired of her
After all, when it came to high society, these men were plentiful.
Of course, many women in the circle made the first move out of their own accord.
However, Keanu knew Samantha was not such a person.
Moreover, Samantha’s name had also acquired a negative connotation these past few years, Ryland.
With such a reputation, would the Gurrays allow her to become part of their family?

What’s more, Francis was fending for himself in the Gurray family. After all, his parents were dead. His grandfather was

already old, and Uncle Woody and Aunt Quincy were watching him like hanek.
If he could not marry Samantha and protect her, it would be evident that he was merely playing with her.
So today, even if he risked offending Francis, he had to make Samantha’s circumstances clear to her so she would stay away from Francis
I would be his compensation towards her.
However,
as soon as he finished sp
Drancis suddenly smiled dryly at him.
Then he shot him a look full of cops and hostility.
“You, a man who broke off your engagement with her and abandoned her, you’re advising me not to play with her feelings. Mr. Baxter?”
This sentence made it seem as if Keanu was being extremely rude and ever so slightly carried a hint of Francis‘ rage
However, Keanu couldn’t refute it.
They had come to a stalemate. Afterward, none of them spoke another word.
But the parents nearby all thought, “Doesn’t it seem a little cold today?”
It was as if a chilly wind was blowing in the room.
As Miranda spoke in the front, Francis looked down at Samantha’s report card.
He had to admit
It was true that she didn’t disappoint her reputation of being incompetent.
She had been stable for this exam as well.
Her total score was 2
- 24.
Francis recalled that she was 24 years old that year, and an idea suddenly came to his mind.
Did she… do it on purpose?
After the morning parent–teacher conference, Francis and Keanu exited the classroom one after another.
Samantha and her friends had already run out to let loose.
Right then, she was playing games in an Internet cafe.
Francis and Keanu rushed to the Internet cafe. Their gazes instantaneously fell on Samantha
She wore an earpiece while her voluptuous fingers quickly tapped on the keyboard.
She was so focused and serious that it was hard for one to tear their eyes away from her
Keanu had never imagined that a girl could be so attractive when playing games.
From what it looked like, there was a
for her poor grades. All her time must have been spent playing games.
“Holy crap, Samantha, you’re the MVP again!” Martin gushed to flatter her. “Samantha, you’re so versatile, You can not only fight but also play games like nothing. You deserve to be the leader of our gang. I’m really in awe of you!”

“Fight!” Keanu thought with a wrinkle of his brow.
“Keanu,” Zephyr greeted him as he took off his earpiece and looked at him.
Keanu looked slightly like a deer in headlights. “The parent–teacher conference is over. I’ll take you two to lunch and bring you back to school,” he said.
Although Zephyr frowned slightly and looked a litle unhappy, he obeyed Keanu.
The Baxter family was now leaning on Keanu.
Zephyr could play around like a spoiled, privileged brat solely because Keanu had inherited the family business.
Therefore, in the Baxter family, he usually only listened to Kean’s words. At the same time, only Keanu could control him.
Coincidentally, Samantha was hungry and didn’t want to play anymore. She took off her earpiece and stood up.
“Samantha, what do you want to eat?” Keanu hurriedly asked.
Whatever.
Samantha Mpped her hair behind her back, shoved her hands into her hoodie pockets, and walked out first
The view of her back was cold and aloof.
They quickly sped to a nearby restaurant and went straight into a booth.
The waiter noticed that they were dressed unusually and greeted them with a respectful attitude.
He looked back and forth between Samantha, Francis, and Keanu
Would it be that some celebrities had come to have lunch here*
Francis received the menu and handed it directly to Samantha. “Order what you want, Samantha,” he simpered. Samantha took the menu from him and ordered a sautéed beef, creamy chicken soup, and baked bass with herbs. Francis and the others ordered five or six more dishes.
After all the dishes had been served, Francis cut a piece of fish for Samantha and put it in her bowl. “Your favorite fish,” he said gently.
Keanu frowned and gave Samantha a piece of beef. “Samantha, dat more meat, it’s good for
you,” he cajoled.
Francis gave Keanu a fleeting look before he cut off a piece of chicken for Samantha
Keanu got her a piece of grilled pork ribs.
Soon, there was a small mountain piled up on Samantha’s plate,
Samantha slammed her fork on the table.
She roared, “Are you two trying to fatten me into a pig?
Keanu touched his nose awkwardly.
But Francis merely gave her a gentle smile and called the waiter over. Graciously, he said, “Please give her another fork.”

Halfway through the meal. Martin suddenly cursed in a low voice.
Then he handed her phone to Samantha. “Samantha, look. Yveline’s parents are in the principal’s office and yelling at him to
call you over.”
As soon as Martin finished speaking, Samantha’s phone rang.
It was Miranda
Samantha just tossed her fork away and walked out.
As she walked, she pulled out a lollipop, tore the wrapper, then put it into her mouth.
Martin had an ominous feeling that something big would be happening again.
Samantha walked into the principal’s office.
Yveline was sitting inside with a middle–aged couple next to her.
They were probably her parents.
The three of them leveled their gazes at her.

“You’re Samantha, right?” The way Yveline’s father spoke was arrogant and even slightly disdainful.
“I am.”
“We, the Zara family, will pay you 20,000 dollars in exchange for you to drop out.”
“Oh?” Samantha suddenly smiled and raised her eyebrows at Yveline’s father. “No other conditions?”
Yveline’s father saw Samantha smiling happily and promptly concluded that Samantha was just a child who had never experienced the world before. Once she had heard of the amount of money, she became so happy she couldn’t differentiate left from right.
His attitude became nastier as well.
“You have to make it clear to the entire school that you bullied Yveline first, and she’s the one at right!”
