Elizabeth was actually quite conflicted.

Fortunately, she had Nick. She refused rides from anyone else and took a taxi instead.

Elizabeth nodded her head and thought to herself, “Yep, that seems fair.”

“Well done,” Elizabeth complimented Nick, who was in the driver’s seat.

Nick Green was confused.

He was both flattered and somewhat puzzled.

“But, regardless, I’ve been praised by Professor Lawrence.”

Nick excitedly stepped on the gas. The car roared and started to drift at high speed.

After a moment of silence, Elizabeth spoke, “We still have time before class.”

Nick patted his chest confidently and said with a smiling face, “Don’t worry. I promise not to make you late.”

Elizabeth thought of Nick as a diligent bodyguard, though a bit slow on the uptake.

It was a pity he wasn’t her student, or she’d have him write lines a thousand times.

With the main character gone, their arguments seemed meaningless.

Before getting in the car, Alexander gave Peter a teasing look, “Going for someone younger, right? You really have the nerve.”

Peter was annoyed. He was only 26 years old. How was he old?

And the younger one? Where?

Jack looked at Peter, suspicion evident in his eyes, but he couldn’t confront someone of Peter’s status.

After a moment, he said cautiously, “Mr. Berney, Elizabeth is young and recently arrived from the countryside. She might not be suited for your circle of friends.

Upon hearing this, Peter chuckled, “It’s okay. I don’t want to be her friend.”

Jack frowned, “What do you mean by that?”

Peter smirked, “Ever since I was young, I’ve wanted a little sister. The first time I saw Elizabeth, I felt she was my ideal little sister. How about this: if you don’t want her, why not give her to me?”

“That’s not funny,” Jack replied, clearly unamused.

Peter’s gaze drifted to the fair-skinned Linda, “You have two younger sisters, and you seem to favor this silly Linda over your own sister.”

Jack was momentarily taken aback, unable to counter.

Indeed, when Elizabeth first returned, he had tried not to show favoritism, so as to keep Linda from getting jealous.

This resulted in Elizabeth being rather indifferent toward him.

“Mr. Wilson, if you don’t want her anymore, remember to give her to me. Just because you don’t appreciate her doesn’t mean she isn’t in demand.”

With that said, Peter, not bothering to acknowledge Jack’s darkening face, turned and got into his car.

The boss didn’t want him meddling in her ordinary life, and he complied. But that didn’t mean he couldn’t throw shade at Jack.

Peter felt refreshed.

Professor Lawrence might not care, but he, who regarded Professor Lawrence as a motherly figure, certainly did.

Linda glanced at Jack, who was driving. His face was gloomy, clearly in a bad mood.

She lowered her eyelashes, feelings of discontent, jealousy, and anger flooding

her.

She had purposely called Jack late the previous night, asking him to pick her up, just so she could show off to Elizabeth today. Yet, she ended up being the laughingstock.

“Jack, are you upset?” Linda inquired.

While Jack was truly feeling a mix of emotions, he shook his head,

He was just reflecting on Peter’s words.

Why would an outsider think he didn’t care for Elizabeth?

Did his behavior really make it that obvious?

Seeing Jack’s somewhat regretful expression, Linda bit her lip.

“By the way.”

Jack, putting aside thoughts of Elizabeth for now, praised Linda, “I heard from

Dad. The success of the project owes a lot to you. Linda, you did great.”

Linda smiled, somewhat guiltily, “We’re all family. Helping each other is what we should do.”

Hearing this, Jack felt better.

“Next week we have to sign the contract. I’ll personally thank you then.”

“No!” Linda exclaimed suddenly..
