Molly Wellington clutched her slightly open collar and ran back to the classroom just as the morning study session ended.

Seeing Molly, who had just been publicly taken away by her ’fiancé’, return again, her classmates were filled with curiosity.

"Molly, why did you come back after just a short while? We thought you’d be having so much fun you wouldn’t want to come back to class."

"Yeah... didn’t you see Old Zachary’s face just now? He obviously didn’t approve, but he had to suppress it. Was he scared by your fiancé? Well, who isn’t afraid of the eldest son of the Lucas family... I’ve heard your fiancé holds a high position in the military too."

"Hey, what’s with your collar..." A sharp-eyed classmate noticed Molly’s odd collar. Even though Molly kept her head down and ignored them, they couldn’t help but tease, "Things got intense, huh! Molly, is your fiancé really that good?"

Gossip and the sounds of people watching the excitement filled her ears.

But Molly kept her head down, as if she couldn’t hear the surrounding noise.

Every time she closed her eyes, the image that filled her mind was Abraham Redington’s chilly gaze as he told her to get out of the car.

And the voice that echoed repeatedly in her ears wasn’t the lively chatter of others, but Redington’s cold and indifferent command, "Get out."

This man... compared to when he was younger, he’s changed a lot.

When Andrew Howard was young, although he was sharp-tongued and mischievous, he would always be by her side cautiously when she was hurt or uneasy.

At that time, she didn’t have a mother, Brother Charlie was mostly at school, Lulu was innocent but clueless, and Yana liked being alone.

Whenever she missed her mom and felt sad, it was always Andrew who stayed by her side.

He would either remain silent or deliberately provoke her with a few words. But no matter how he behaved, when she sat on the ground hugging her knees crying, he would always quietly accompany her.

As a child, she thought Andrew was different.

Unexpectedly, now that they’ve grown up, he’s become just like everyone else.

After school, an unexpected person suddenly appeared outside the classroom door.

It was always independent and carefree Yana Lucas, carrying her schoolbag, with one foot against the wall, leaning against it while waiting for Molly Wellington to come out.

Her skin was extremely fair, her silky black hair hung straight to her waist, and her almond-shaped eyes, slightly upturned since birth, had become more elongated, revealing a resemblance to Aidan Lucas, giving her a narrow and ethereal appearance.

Yana stood leaning against the wall, her cool gaze fixed intently on Molly, who was still packing her schoolbag in the classroom, completely ignoring the curious glances from onlookers.

"Who is that, why haven’t we seen her at school before?" Even people from the neighboring class were drawn to Yana.

Yana’s aura was extremely aloof, and she wasn’t sociable, but every time she appeared, she was the most noticeable presence. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

Her indifferent presence was incredibly strong.

"Of course you haven’t seen her. That’s Yana Lucas, a second-year high school student. She passed our school’s university admissions test early and entered the university to study. She usually spends time over there and rarely comes by."

"Oh, so why is she here today..."

"She’s here to see her sister-in-law, Molly Wellington, the school beauty from Class 7. She’s her future sister-in-law, her brother’s fiancée."

So that’s how it was.

Some classmates who didn’t understand the situation finally figured out the connections.

Even though some of them hadn’t met Yana, everyone knew Molly, and they certainly knew that Molly’s fiancé was none other than the rising star in Eastonia’s military, Ben Lucas.

That stern and cold figure who was strict with his subordinates and even stricter with himself, the eldest son of the Lucas family.
