Addicted to Luring – Mister, Please Behave

Chapter 29: I’m Relying On No One But Myself



“Hm, It would be better if he and you don’t get to know each other too well,” he said in a flat tone, but it caused Wendy to shudder involuntarily. “Rex Gavyn is quite with his words.” Wendy thought.

Early the next morning, Rex went to the company. The responsibility of sending Wendy to school fell on Clare.

Clare had caught a cold since his boss had abandoned him on the way back yesterday. However, he knew his boss’s temper, so he could only bite the bullet.

“Clare, why don’t you go back? I can take the bus.” Wendy couldn’t stand it anymore. As soon as she got in the car, he began to sneeze. It looked very serious.

Clare shook his head and said, “No, I have to take you safely to school. If something happened to you on the way, Mr. Gavyn will be heartbroken.”

Wendy teased in a low voice, “Does he still feel heartache?”

Clare’s ears were sharp and he smiled upon hearing this. “Mrs. Gavyn, the President has a sharp tongue but a soft heart. He actually cares a lot about you.”

“From what I can see, his mouth and heart are as sharp as knives. He only knows how to bully me every single day,” Wendy complained.

Clare shook his head. “Two people’s relationship problems have to be worked out by themselves. It was not convenient for outsiders to interrupt.”

Before she arrived at school, Wendy had asked Clare to drop her off. This car was too ostentatious. If she were to be involved in any gossip, she would not even know how to explain it.

At the end of the day, she was still afraid that others would find out about her relationship with Rex. As for why she was afraid, even she could not explain it.

As soon as Wendy entered the classroom, she was called by her headteacher. She was scolded immediately and was in an extremely bad mood.

When she returned to the classroom, she unfolded the test paper that was wrinkled by her grip. A few big red crosses stood out so much that they hurt her eyes.

“How could she get such a bad result?” Wendy thought.

Wendy had performed terribly in this examination. She was full of dejection and didn’t even want to say anything more. However, there were still people who liked to rub salt in her wounds.

“Wendy, is this your test paper? Can I take a look at it?”

Sethur Kent was one of the best students in the class. She had good grades and good looks. Relying on her teacher’s favor, she was very proud every day. As for the reason why she was against Wendy, she was well aware of it.

As the school babe, Sethur was good at acting. It could be seen from her behavior of fake smile that she was hypocritic.

Probably thinking that it was a matter of course for the school babe and the school hunk to be together, Sethur had long since regarded Wendy as her imaginary rival. It would be abnormal if she did not come to tease Wendy after she failed the examination this time.

Wendy shoved the paper into her backpack and didn’t even spare her a glance. “Why didn’t I see you care so much about my grades when I took first place in the exam?”

Sethur scoffed. “You only came first in an exam once and yet you have the nerve to bring it up. How did someone with your IQ get admitted to the school? Don’t tell me you did it by cheating in an exam?”

Although Wendy’s personality was lukewarm on the surface, she was actually full of power inside. It was not that she didn’t know how to play tricks, but that she was too lazy to do it, let alone get entangled with people like Sethur.

Seeing that she didn’t respond, Sethur felt disdain. “Wendy, why are you pretending to be so pure? You are as cheap as your mother. You don’t know that, do you? Wendy Walters’s mother is a mistress, a mistress who has interfered in other people’s marriages. This kind of…… Ah!”

Before she could finish her sentence, Sethur was slapped hard on the left cheek, which burned with pain. She glared and said, “Wendy, how dare you hit me!”

“You can say that about me, but it’s not up to you to say that about my mother.” Wendy threatened Sethur without being angry. Her momentum overwhelmed everything. The class monitor was afraid that something would happen, so he hurriedly stopped Sethur. “Sethur, that’s enough. Is it necessary?”

Sethur panicked and pretended to hit Wendy. A faint smile appeared on Wendy’s face as if she didn’t care. “Don’t stop her. Let her hit me.”

“Heh……” Sethur sneered and pushed the monitor away. “Wendy, my hand would be dirty if I hit you! I’m not like you, who have a mother but no education. Why don’t you make a bet with me and prove yourself?”

Everyone started to kick up a fuss.

Wendy’s emotions were agitated and she asked, “What bet?”

Sethur crossed her arms over the chest and showed an ugly face. “If you can do better than me in the next exam, I will never call you an illegitimate kid in the future. But if you don’t do better than me on the next exam, you have to get out of school. What do you think? Are you bet or not?”

The intention of this bet was too obvious. Wendy wasn’t stupid, but she had to work hard. She didn’t believe that she couldn’t surpass her.

“Okay, I’m game, but if I surpass you, you have to apologize to me in front of everyone.”

Sethur agreed perfunctorily. She didn’t think Wendy could do that. She’s going to drive her out of school this time, and no one would compete with her for Justin Brown anymore.

Bad news often travels very fast. The bet between the two of them soon spread throughout the school, and the campus forum was also in an uproar. There were all kinds of opinions, and all kinds of accusations were directed at Wendy.

Justin couldn’t stand it any longer, so he went straight to her.

“Wendy, let me help you, Sethur……”

“There’s no need.” Wendy cut him off. “I’m not helpless enough to need someone else’s help.”

“Other people……” Justin hesitated. The deliberate alienation was already too obvious, but he just couldn’t get over it. “Then what are you planning to do? Are you going to ask that man for help that day?”Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

“That man?”

“Rex? If I let him know this he would only laugh at me.” Thought Wendy.

“I won’t rely on anyone but myself.”

It’s the only thing she can do

Justin had not pestered Wendy for the past few days. She had thought that she would be able to prepare for the exam with peace of mind, but she had forgotten that there was someone else at her home who was hard to deal with.

Rex quietly appeared outside the study and pushed open a crack in the door to look inside. He didn’t know why Wendy had been in the study since she came back a few days ago. She didn’t eat or drink anything. She was so exhausted that she forgot to eat or sleep.

He calculated that her menstruation should have passed. It had been a few days since he had hugged her properly, so he missed her very much.

However, now he could only look but not intervene.

Uncle John suddenly appeared out of nowhere and scared Rex so much that he slammed the door shut. He turned around and glared at him. “What’s wrong?”

“Master Gavyn, dinner is ready. I called you a few times, but you didn’t respond. It’s the first time that I’ve seen you staring at a girl for so long.” Uncle John joked.

Rex looked a little embarrassed as if his feelings had been exposed, but he didn’t want others to see it, so he blushed. Uncle John glanced at the study and quickly followed him. “Master Gavyn, do you want Mrs. Gavyn to have dinner?”

“No need.” Rex’s face was stiff, and his voice deliberately raised a few decibels. “If she wants to eat, come down and eat herself. No one will serve her!”

Uncle John felt awkward. “Master Gavyn was becoming more and more unconvinced. He had clearly ordered the kitchen staff to make his wife’s favorite dishes, but he was still so stubborn. When did this young couple stop giving each other the cold shoulder every day?”
