It was usually the warm and caring traits of board members that afforded them the opportunity tohold such positions.

Therefore, it was not out of character for Jacques to make that offer.

Yasmin tilted her head in consideration of the offer for a moment before agreeing. “Thanks for thetrouble, Jacques.”

“No worries,” he replied cordially as he reached over to open his door for her. “We're all classmatesafter all.”

When they passed the famous bridge near their campus, Yasmin turned her head slightly and sawthe four figures outside through the car window.

"Did the university not deal with Zaylynn, Jacques?”

"How can they? The Neal family is one of the shareholders of the university,” Jacques explainedpatiently with his eyes on the road. “Besides, it was an honest mistake on Zaylynn's because she didnot know that what she did was against the rules. As soon as the incident had occurred, sheimmediately confessed to the chief administrator and used her family’s money to make up for theloss incurred by her mistake. With all said and done, the university has decided to consider thematter resolved.”

In his opinion, Zaylynn's mistake was forgivable as she did not do it out of malice. Coupled with thefact that she confessed to her mistake almost immediately, the university decided to give heranother chance.

Jacques was not aware of the effect of his words in causing the gaze of his passenger seated behindto become colder.

Ten minutes later, Jacques pulled up at the side of the most prosperous commercial plaza in the city.“Here we are, Yasmin. Take care of yourself at night, won't you? Don't get home too late. If you everfeel like you can't cope with juggling work and study, I can help you apply for financial aid.”

“I'll bear that in mind,” Yasmin said as she exited the car. “Thank you, Jacques.”

Financial aid. Yes, times are tough for me now. What about the offspring of the murderer? Why arethey able to sit around and enjoy the sunshine without a care in the world for their daily expenses,let alone worrying about their future?

Stewing in bitter thoughts, Yasmin walked to the gate of the square.

To her further resentment, she did not expect to run into the four figures on their bicycles as soonas she had changed into her apron at the cafe she worked at.

“Are we dining in that KFC?” Zaylynn asked. “Should we park our bikes here?”

“That works,” Timothy answered. “It's not far, anyway. Let's walk over.”

With a general murmur of assent, the quartet parked their bicycles in the square.

After locking hers, Susan came over and saw lan frowning before producing his own phone to scanthe QR code provided at the designated spot.

“There is a QR code provided, lan,” Susan said gently. “Just scan it and your bike will beautomatically locked.”

lan merely grunted but the knot in his brow instantly relaxed

After ensuring that everybody had managed to successfully lock their bicycles, the group marchedforward. Zaylynn's boisterous debate with Timothy regarding the best-tasting flavor of chickenwings made her a perfect match for him.

How childish!

With a scoff, Susan ignored them and turned her attention to the boy walking beside her.

“Have you had KFC before, lan?”

“Not often,” lan admitted.

For a prominent family like the Hayes’, KFC was something they did not particularly patronize.Besides, Sasha's attention to the health of her family turned her away from deep-fried food.

As a result, lan had only had KFC several times when he was much younger and not anymore as heentered adolescence.

Susan grew a little worried.

“I'll get you something else later. Let's order you a steak at a different restaurant.”

lan refused gently. “That's all right. Let's dine together.”

Soon, all four of them arrived at KFC. As soon as Zaylynn and Timothy entered, they made a maddash to the counter to place their orders.

Susan and lan simply exchanged a glance before getting a table.

“Let's sit here, lan.” Having found a table just right for four, Susan pulled her friend over to occupyit.

lan obediently sat down.

It was a strange feeling for him as he rarely dined in such public places. Even if he did, it was alwayswith his parents at higher-end and cleaner restaurants.

As he was seated here watching the traffic of other patrons, lan suddenly realized that he did notseem to mind as much as he did from the way he meekly accommodated Susan's requests.

"We're back,” Zaylynn announced excitedly as she returned with a large tray. “Status report: twoburgers each, five packets of spicy wings, two packets of fries, and a large jug of Coke. How doesthat sound?”

Susan clicked her tongue in disapproval.

“That's too much food, Zaylynn. We won't be able to finish all of that.”

“That's all right,” Zaylynn said with a generous wave of her hand. “We can share it with ourclassmates and those homeless people outside.”

Susan was dumbstruck with incredulity and amusement.

lan, who was sitting next to her, also raised his eyebrows as a smile played on his lips.

When Timothy returned with another tray of food, the group's laughter stopped abruptly.

The group was so full after their meal that Zaylynn had to summon an errand boy to bring theirleftovers back to the university.

Yasmin caught a glimpse of the errand boy's departure while on duty in the cafe beside the mall.Without hesitation, she reached behind her and undid her apron.

"Where are you going, Yasmin?” came the shrill voice of her employer.

“There's something I have to attend to. I'll be right back."q
