Chapter 313
Chris had heard about this "school" more than once from Jessica and Mrs. Wilder. But he knew that it was not a simple school.
Perhaps thinking about this child, or perhaps because of many past events that Jessica didn’t want to recall, she sighed.
"Tristana will do very well. We don’t need to worry. A young lady like Natalie, with her temperament, won’t notice any problems. This is probably Tristana’s longest task cycle yet, but she is in Lonat, and with her student identity as cover, many things will be easier to handle."
There were many things to do in Lonat, but Jessica did not reveal them.
Indya and Blake had indeed confirmed their relationship, but few people knew. Indya had only briefly told Jessica and Chris.
Shannon had been busy with the club, running back and forth from the hall to the hotel, and only met the couple, who had just returned, near the evening. To prevent being caught by paparazzi, they even kept a certain distance when they went shopping and didn’t act overly intimate. Blake felt some dissatisfaction, but seeing Indya’s cautious expression, he could only suppress his feelings and choose to proceed step by step.
At night, the hotel was lively, and many people received guests. Jessica, upon hearing a knock, opened the door, and the visitor was unsurprising.
Meanwhile, Shannon was in Indya’s room.
“So you’re really together now? I thought it would take some time.” Shannon took a sip of the red wine. It was rare for them to have time for a drink on a business trip.
Indya sat cross-legged opposite Shannon. Indya lived with Blake in a suite. They were both adults, and once they had confirmed their feelings, living together was not a problem. Moreover, the suite had many rooms. Originally, one room in the suite belonged to Shannon, but since there were many children downstairs at the club who couldn’t be left alone, Shannon simply booked a room downstairs as well. At that moment, Shannon and Indya were in her room.
“We just have to try,” Indya said. “We can’t let one failed relationship stop us from taking the next step. Besides, Blake is not like Anthony.”
Speaking of Anthony, Shannon could finally tell the truth.
“Actually, Anthony lived quite extravagantly abroad all those years. This time, he returned to the country because he owed debts. He picked up many bad habits overseas—drinking, gambling, seeing prostitutes. In short, he owed a lot of money.”
After the Montvue Tower project group was contracted to the Wilder Group, the price had increased considerably. Anthony was indeed capable, so it was normal for him to lead the project group. But after seeing Indya, Anthony still hoped to resume his relationship with her. He thought that Indya must have earned a lot of money. As long as he could get back together with Indya, his debts would not be a problem.
“Dream on,” Indya snorted coldly. “My money is mine. What does it have to do with him? Even if I weren’t clear-headed, even if I really got back together with him, I know what matters more—love or money.”
Shannon clinked glasses with Indya and smiled. “Exactly. You’re not the type to give all your money to someone just because you love them. I don’t even know what Anthony was thinking.”
“He wanted to use past events to threaten me,” Indya said lightly. The last time she met Anthony, Anthony held a lot of Indya’s family information in his hands.
