Moore Nash found it very novel, given their age difference. When Moore Audrey was born, Moore Nash was already sixteen, right in the rebellious years of youth, strongly opposing Moore Audrey’s birth.
Once Moore Audrey could walk, eat, and talk, they began a pattern of fighting whenever they were together. Later, when Moore Nash became an adult, started his own business, and inherited part of Moore Luis’s estate, Moore Luis had a sudden idea and waved his hand, saying that Moore Nash would cover her living expenses.
Then… their relationship suddenly improved, making Moore Luis quite jealous for a time.
But it wasn’t long before he was back to clinging to his wife.
Thus, the two siblings, both neglected by their father, had to rely on each other.
Moore Audrey’s favorite thing was probably that when she was little, every time Moore Nash returned from a business trip, he would bring her delicious food and fun toys. It could be said that, to a large extent, Moore Nash cared for her more than her father did.
So many issues were strictly managed by Moore Nash, for example… if she really started dating Thompson Miguel now… well, Thompson Miguel definitely couldn’t leave completely today.
Thursday, clear skies.
The school officially began the monthly exam process, and Moore Audrey was feeling confident as she walked in, determined to place fifth in her grade this time.
She would show it to his father, making him convinced enough to let her inherit the family fortune.
Yes, Moore Audrey had recently remembered what his father had said: if Thompson Miguel wasn’t at her haunted house doing homework, he would let her inherit the family assets.
The girl pondered this, deciding to bring it up to his father after the monthly exam results came out; this time, he wouldn’t be able to escape!
As she thought, she entered the examination room.
Fortunately, the difficulty of the exam paper was moderate; there were a few difficult questions, but most were basic.
Moore Audrey glanced at the paper and felt a bit happy; yes, she was good at the basics and didn’t like tackling difficult problems.
Having safely passed two days of exams, Moore Audrey was in a good mood. After school, she planned to treat her best friend Jade to ice cream, but… her best friend ruthlessly rejected her.
Moore Audrey sulked:
“You have to give me a reason I can’t refuse today!”
Jade dodged the question:
“Ah… I’m on my period, feeling irritable!”
Moore Audrey scrutinized her for a moment.
“You seem to have something going on lately…”
Jade glanced at her, a bit evasive:
“… No!”
Moore Audrey found it strange. “Really?”
Jade hesitated for a moment, then nodded affirmatively; anyway… she couldn’t quite figure out if she and the boy could be considered friends… it was better to wait until she was sure before telling Audrey.
Moore Audrey felt disheartened, slumping her shoulders and lazily waving her hand.
“Fine… if you’re not going, then I’ll just go home and take a nap…”
Waving goodbye to her best friend, the girl walked out of the school gate with her bag.
On the way, she suddenly spotted a familiar figure, and her eyes lit up.
With a quick step, she dashed forward and raised her hand to slap.
“Thompson Miguel!”
The person turned at the sound.
Moore Audrey froze, feeling awkward, and then embarrassedly lowered her head.
“Sorry… I mistook you for someone else~”
The person was taken aback, then smiled faintly, interest glimmering in his eyes, his voice gentle:
“It’s okay…”
Moore Audrey felt incredibly embarrassed. She had actually mistaken someone for Thompson Miguel; if Thompson Miguel found out, he would definitely look down on her.
But then she thought, the person did look quite a bit like Thompson Miguel; could he be a relative?
Lost in thought, the girl walked forward absentmindedly.
When her eyes collided with a black iron railing, she didn’t have time to stop, and her forehead bumped against it, not as hard as she had expected.
Instinctively looking up, a bony hand blocked her path.
