Unexpectedly, Jonathan was standing there, looking at him with a calm expression.

Felix didn’t beat around the hush; he cut straight to the chase. “I don’t like you. After you go home today, tell your parents to arrange for you to drop out of school.”

Upon hearing these words, Jonathan maintained a calm demeanor. He walked over to the sink and meticulously washed his hands.

“Why should I?”

“Simply because I am the future heir of Rainsworth Group and Orion Corporation!” Felix declared with a face full of pride.

In Tudela, there wasn’t a soul who didn’t know about Orion Corporation.

“If you offend me, not only will you suffer, but so will your parents. This entire school is funded by Orion Corporation. Since I’m telling you to leave, then you have no choice but to

Jonathan’s eyebrows arched slightly.

How had he failed to discover that his good–for–nothing father was planning to hand over the company to someone else?

“Oh.”

Felix thought he had agreed and was feeling quite pleased with himself.

However, he then heard Jonathan saying, “I’m not leaving.”

Felix was instantly infuriated.

Unable to contain his temper, he lifted his foot, ready to kick Jonathan.

Jonathan’s eyes darted to him before he swiftly intercepted the attack.

When he was abroad, Jonathan learned kickboxing specifically so he could mother and younger brother when he grew up.

A few minutes later, Felix’s pleas for mercy filled the restroom….

“Do you still want me to drop out?”

N–No…”

“Will you tattle on me?”

“No…”

Felix’s face had taken on a pleasingly rounded appearance from being hit.

Jonathan washed his hands again. “Remember, if you decide to tattle, I’ll hit you every time I

see you.”

Felix remained silent.

He certainly wouldn’t report something as humiliating as getting beaten up.

After all, he was a man!

Meanwhile, Vivian had taken a phone call and left early due to some matters, leaving Cecilia to step into the crowd alone.

It’s been a while since I last took a stroll around Tudela.

As it was the middle of summer, the weather shifted rapidly, and before long, the sky had. turned gloomy.

Not long after, the sky was ablaze with lightning and roared with thunder, giving way to a torrential downpour.

Cecilia stood under the eaves of a house as a Bentley slowly came to a halt before her.

The car window rolled down, revealing the handsome face of a man.

“Get in.” Nathaniel sat in the driver’s seat, his thin lips barely parting to speak.

After a moment of hesitation, Cecilia opened the back door of the car.

“I’m not a chauffeur. Sit in the front.”

Seeing that the back door just wouldn’t open, Cecilia had no choice but to sit in the front.

As soon as she settled into the car, Cecilia turned her head to look out the window.

For a moment, the inside of the car was very quiet.

The heavy rain was pelting against the car window, yet the interior of the car didn’t cool down much. Instead, it felt unusually stifling.

Nathaniel drove in silence, not uttering a word.

Cecilia gazed at the somewhat unfamiliar roads, uncertain of where he was taking her.

The car gradually moved off the main road, making its way onto a smaller path.

Cecilia gazed at the desolate path, suddenly recalling where this place was.

When she was in her teens, a group of privileged young men from her school had driven and abandoned her on this desolate road.

It had been pouring that day, just like now. She was soaked to the bone, walking barefoot until the late hours of the night.

It was Nathaniel who had driven around to replace her.

Back then, he was like her beacon of light. With thoughtful care, he lifted her into the car and comforted her gently, reassuring her that there was nothing to fear.

How did the boy who was once so tender and gentle become so indifferent later on?

Perhaps people do change, after all…

Nathaniel didn’t stop the car. His peripheral vision caught a glimpse of Cecilia’s serene face, causing him to swallow.

As he started to move away from this place, Cecilia was somewhat confused. “Mr. Rainsworth, where are you taking me?”
