Once or twice could have been a coincidence, but at this point, this matter had gotten beyond Ronan’s understanding.
Adrian’s dical condition was nothing ordinary. His body simply resisted a mont of peace with everything he had.
Yet, why would a man like him, who had gotten immune to severe dical treatnts, could be handled so easily by Ella?
Hell, she wasn’t even here, yet he managed to fall asleep on a call!
As soon as Ronan reached his room, he pulled down a diary that noted all about Adrian’s condition and finally added a point in bold.
’A heavy reliance on Ella Yu’
...
That night, Ella’s guards were heightened. She was well aware that Esther would not dare to harm her now yet the demons of the past crept into her mind, not letting her sleep initially.
Until half an hour later or so when she heard Adrian’s deep breathing.
He is asleep already? Ella laid her head on her study table, a hint of a smile appearing on her face.
His doctors really were quacks huh, starting right from Ronan!
Ella did not even realize when her eyes got heavy just listening to Adrian’s even breathing.
Unbeknownst to Ella, while one storm within her cald, another had just begun to brew on the internet because of her.
An anonymous account had uploaded snippets of the confrontation between her and Jenny.
And Ella’s followers, who were more of her haters, were taken in by it.
With more and more views, the video’s interaction multiplied and went viral everywhere.
So doubted if it was true, if the person in the video was really Ella. And a few people imdiately stepped out to confirm it.
[I am in Imperial University. This is not false at all. In fact, she had even made a bet with the professor previously...]
[I go there too. This is the latest tea of our university kekeke.]
The next morning, Esther gasped.
"Sis, this... the news about you is everywhere. Now, everyone wants to know about the result of this exam. But because of , you... you couldn’t even study..."
Ella sneered inwardly. As if that was not your whole purpose.
After whining and sobbing for a while, Esther showed no intention of leaving.
Ella smiled like a benevolent saint. In her head, she was already ntally roundhouse-kicking Esther off a cliff.
After another wasted hour or so, Ella kicked her out with a gracious ’warm elder sister’ smile.
When Ella reached the university campus, Ruby was waiting for her at the entrance.
Together, they entered the assigned classroom that was completely empty.
Other than her and Ruby, there was Jasmine.
When Ruby and Ella walked in together, Jasmine looked at Ruby, "Are you alright? Is she troubling you again?"
Ruby frowned.
Jasmine whispered when Ruby took a seat, "Blink once if she is threatening you."
Ella: "_" Hey, I can hear everything, alright?
Nevertheless, Ella acted like she did not hear anything.
More or less, Ella understood why Jasmine took the initiative for this re-test. Like a teenage girl, she rely wanted to look good in front of her crush who, in her mind, was looking at another girl.
Ella could not associate this naive and bubbly girl with the stoic and rigid woman she had t in the Main Mansion in her previous life.
But in one way or another, she was grateful to Jasmine. Her involvent definitely made things easier.
Soon, the room was filled with all their professors. And the question papers were handed out.
As it turned out, they had changed the format of the exam completely. Unlike before, the question papers were not separate.
In one question paper, there was a mix of questions from all subjects. And all the questions were long-ti.
It was obvious that the professors had remained impartial and even tried to toughen the questions to a great extent due to the special circumstances.
The exam lasted around 4 hours after which the trio left the classroom.
"Ella!"
Ella and Ruby walked together, not paying much attention to Jasmine. But just as they had walked off to a little distance, Jasmine called out to her from behind.
Ella turned.
"I need to talk to you."
Ella nodded, "I am listening."
"Alone."
"I will wait outside," Ruby stepped to a little distance but did not really go out of sight.
"Stop pestering Kade," Jasmine did not beat around the bush, "In one way or the other, you can never have him."
Eh... Ella felt a little awkward with the nature of the conversation. Girl, I don’t even want him. I have his elder brother...
"The two of you don’t belong to the sa world so you should stop aiming so high..."
Due to the connection of her father in the King Empires, Jasmine was another person who knew about Kade’s real identity.
"I want you to stop dreaming..."
Ella raised her hand, "There is nothing going on between and Kade."
Jasmine froze, "But, he and you..."
When she saw her hesitating like that, Ella sighed, "Speak clearly."
"He is indifferent to everyone. But he speaks to you... And he even stood up for you, ti and ti again."
That’s because he is running low on funds and fears his tyrannous elder brother, you silly girl!
Ella smiled, "The reason behind that is a secret."
Jasmine’s face darkened.
"But I can tell you,’’ Ella leaned towards Jasmine and whispered, "Pspspspspspsp..."
An eternity later~
"H-h-hentai?!" Jasmine slapped a palm over her mouth, her eyes widening like apricots.
"Shhh..."
Jasmine lowered her voice, "So, the reason he goes to such extents to protect you... is because you chanced upon his secret?"
Ella nodded with a solemn expression on her face.
"You really... saw him reading... h-hentai?" The poised and elegant girl turned red as she uncomfortably said the word as if it was a sin.
"Hardcore ones." Ella pitied her a little but again, she was not lying about it after all.
Jasmine turned a little pale, "He is into that?"
Ella shrugged.
When Jasmine left, her steps were unsteady and it seed like her soul had floated out of her body.
"What happened?" Ruby asked Ella when the latter walked up to her.
As they left the place, Ella narrated the whole event to her, including Adrian’s and Kade’s relationship.
