Chapter 72: Brother and sister ∘₊✧──────✧₊∘ It has been two days since Heather went out. There was no news about the Aczen family, and even the main house was blocked from any entry. For the past two days, many people wanted to talk to the head of the Aczen family, and even to the two elder sons. But the head only sent out a message that he would be out of touch for a week. No one knew what was happening. This was the first time it happened. After all, Mr. Aczen was known to be a workaholic. Inside his room, Jean was sorting his files as Morris' eldest son. Because his sister Priyaa didn't want to be involved in their family business, he had no choice but to do it himself. His parents were also expecting much from him. ‘The expedition test will be a month from now.’ The thought of having their expedition test as students made Jean a lot happier. It was said that the last test would be held at the forest on the border of the country. Just thinking about it is waking up all t
Sitting on her bed, with crossed legs - a lady in her pajamas reading a book. More precisely, a romance book. In this age, who doesn't want to dream about those fantastical love stories? If it is about transporting oneself to another dimension, isn't it cool that way? Becoming a villain in a story, isn't it thrilling enough to be adapted into a movie? Jade was one of those people, and forever will be. She's an avid reader of love stories and had a large collection of that in her room. "Stupid! How can he not see that he's being taken advantage of?" Jade angrily yelled as she put down the book in her hands and took off her glasses. She had been reading this book for three days, and what she only got was a belly full of anger. The story is about the common plot line of the popular handsome rich guy falling in love with a lower class poor girl. That's not the reason why she is getting angry. Her reason is rather simple. It was obvious how the female lead was only after the male lead
"Dad!" Jade almost stopped breathing as soon as she saw his face. Standing in front of her was the father she knew from the day she was born. He was wearing a perfectly ironed suit with his coat hanging on his arms, wearing a pair of shiny black shoes, and his neatly combed hair. ‘Is this really my father?’ Her father looked at her indifferently, a frown visible on his forehead. Jade also gazed back at her father, who was strangely dressed. As far as she can remember, her father is not fond of wearing these luxurious things. It was mainly because their family had debts to pay so they don’t have the money to buy luxurious and branded clothes like this. Anyway, they could find decent clothes in thrift shops and still look like they were wearing branded clothes. Even she, the youngest, didn’t even have the chance to experience wearing such high-end shirts. Jade breathed a relieved sigh after seeing her father, although he looked a bit strange with that serious expression on his
Jade’s POV I suddenly had long, beautiful golden blonde hair when I woke up, and a fair complexion that I could only dream of. There was a line of maids and nannies who catered to each of my needs after I woke up in the morning. Dad became an indifferent and cold father, just like my two older brothers who acted like two blocks of ice. We are now living in a mansion that I used to dream about when I was a little girl. Everything feels surreal. There was also that luxurious car that brought me to this private school. Tuition must be sky-high, right? How are we even able to afford this much? As I was busy pondering, I felt someone sat beside me. There was no need for me to turn my head to know who the person is. I have a strong sense of smell so I remember what kind of perfume a person uses. From his cool fragrance, it was the guy from the car earlier. I’m not that introvert – I just don’t like to be in the middle of crowded places and socialize with many people. For me, reading
Jade’s POV After the morning class, it was finally time for lunch. Kroook. Oh, I’m feeling so hungry. Studying is tiring to the body and mind. After all, studying is really not my field of expertise, both in this world and in my world. I realized that I am in a different world, and that is why I am unfamiliar with everybody around me. What I loved about this body is that she’s naturally intelligent. I don’t even need to look at the questions and think of the answer. Although I am now in this body, my hands moved on its own as if it had its own mind. That is to say, I don’t need to review for tests and I still can pass them with flying colors. I stretched my neck and arms, feeling the stiffness that had set in from sitting for half a day. “You haven’t eaten the food Aunt told me to give you.” I forgot that someone was beside me. Then that means, I won’t be eating with the other students in the cafeteria. Ah, the peace that money brings! All the other students inside went to
『 "I like Morris…" "No matter what I do, why wouldn't you look at me even once?" "I should be gone. Goodbye…"』 Jade’s POV I was already lying on a soft bed when I woke up. Looking at the ceiling and the surrounding with the blinding pink, this must be my room in the mansion. 'Room…?' I looked around just in time to see the door opening. I hurriedly closed my eyes. I heard rushed footsteps entering my room. Not just one pair of feet were walking inside. Guessing by its sound, there must be a few people who entered my room. I heard someone moving next to me and feeling the pulse on my wrist. I couldn’t see what was happening or who this person was, but it must be a doctor. After that, the person put my hands inside the blanket again. "Madam, she's already fine. I’ve already checked her condition, and there was nothing wrong.” “Then why did my daughter faint? You’re still calling yourself a doctor?” When I heard that certain voice, I felt relieved at once. It was because
Chapter 5: An AdonisJade’s POVIt was silent as we walked down the spiral stairs heading to the dining room. Only the sound of our footsteps could be heard in the long corridor. Some servants that we passed by would absentmindedly greet us. They were enamored by the beauty beside me. “Our young lady is really perfect for young master Jean!”“They are a match made in heaven!”“Even their eyes have chemistry with each other.”“Yes, we can totally see that.”Their murmurs were rather loud that I looked down in embarrassment. It’s not that I don’t think Heather is beautiful, but saying those things without any reservations is making me embarrassed. I still couldn’t wrap my head about this world, so there is this thought that Jean and Rosine looked really good together. ‘She would be perfect had it not been for her schemes.’ Thinking like that, I suddenly felt bad for this beautiful human beside me. I just couldn’t imagine how profound his love for Rosine was to be duped so badly. I th
Chapter 6: FamilyJade’s POVIn the morning, I prepared my things to go to school. I haven’t gotten accustomed to the maids running around and helping me with every trivial thing. For a not-so-wealthy family like us in the past, having a warm bath and three meals a day was already a blessing. Unlike now, I have everything I could only wish for. I am basically living my dream life. Thinking of it now, it wasn't so bad at all. I would have felt so lonely if I transmigrated to this world without being able to see and be with my family like this. I, on the other hand, is with the family I love with all my heart. Even though I was the only one who could remember all those times, it’s fine as long as they are with me. I sound cringy, but that’s alright. “Milady, they are waiting for you in the dining room.” “Okay. Thank you for helping me with my hair, Anne.” “It’s what I should do, milady.” I flashed her a smile and went down to the dining room. This would be my first time eating wit
