Chapter 196
“Noelle knows the arranger of The Legend and has a good relationship with the lead singer. Tima asked Noelle for autographed photos, then she sold them to the fans of The Legend at a high price. Each photo cost 100 dollars. These days, she has earned more than 3 thousand dollars with the autographed photos.”
Harley did not have much of a reaction when he heard this. “So she made a little bit of money. What’s wrong with that?”
“A little bit of money?” Hearing this, the student couldn’t help but shake his head and smile awkwardly. “Maybe for rich students like you, it’s no big deal. But for an average student, 3 thousand dollars is a lot of money. I heard that Tina’s family background isn’t good, and she relied on the school’s guarantee to be admitted to Exton University. The tuition fees, books, and accommodation fees are all waived, but even so, it seems that she still has sick relatives to take care of at home, so she thought of relying on this to earn money!”
Harley even felt it was a motivating story. He frowned and asked, “What are you trying to say? Can you just tell me?”
“Hey!” When the guy saw that Harley still didn’t understand, he did not know what to say. He could not help but laugh. “Harley, Tina is a very utilitarian girl. Noelle is innocent and naive. Money is a small matter. Noelle treats her as a friend, but Tina is using her for money. Don’t you think the problem is serious?”
The first few words did not attract Harley’s attention, but the second part did. He frowned and handed the notebook in his hand to the person beside him, saying, “Help me take my things back to the dormitory. I’ll be back later.”
With that, he walked straight in the direction of Noelle.
Noelle was still reminiscing about the crispy chicken in the canteen and praised it again. “The crispy chicken is so delicious! That skin was amazing!”
When Tina heard this, she smiled. “Noelle, do you miss it already? Then I’ll treat you to another meal tomorrow!”
“Really!” Noelle smiled happily. However, very quickly, she looked at Tina warily and asked, “Tina, are you going to make another request?”
“What are you thinking about?” Tina held Noelle’s hand with a smile and said, “It’s free this time.” After all, Noelle had promised to get 100 autographed photos of Stanley. In that case, she could earn at least 9 thousand dollars. Naturally, she had to serve Noelle well.
Noelle smiled, then stretched out two fingers and said, “I want to eat two chickens tomorrow!”
Tina asked, “Two? Can you finish them?” Noelle was small, but her appetite was quite big.
“Sure!” Noelle said firmly.
Tina smiled. “Alright, as long as you can them.”
“Okay,” Noelle had just agreed when her phone vibrated in her pocket. She took out her phone. It was a call from Bennett.
Noelle was furious when she saw Bennett’s name. “Bad guy!” She thought that he was easy to get along with, but he actually secretly took her blood for testing! Although Brandon said that it was fine, she was still angry just thinking about it. Since Bennett took the initiative to look for her, she had to settle the score with him! As his sister, it was her duty to teach him. She must make him a good person.
She answered the call. Bennett’s laughter came. “Noelle, are you at school now? I am at the southern gate! I brought you a gift. Come over quickly.”
Chapter 190
“Alright, wait for me,” Noelle said, hanging up. She said to Tina, “Tina, I’m going to the southern gate to meet Bennett. You can go back to the dormitory.”
“Sure.” Tina let go of Noelle’s hand.
At this moment, Harley walked over and stopped Noelle. “Noelle!”
“Harley!” When Noelle saw Harley, she also greeted him.
Harley said, “Noelle, I have something….”
Before he could finish speaking, Noelle put her phone back in her pocket and said to him, “Harley, my brother is here. I need to go now. Let’s talk later.” She desperately wanted to settle scores with Bennett.
“Hub! Your brother?” Before Harley could figure out what was going on, Noelle had already run away.
Harley and Tina stared at each other. The atmosphere was a little awkward.
Tina was the first to break the silence. She smiled at Harley and said, “Harley, I heard from Noelle that Bennett has something for her, so you need to wait for her. I’ll leave now.” Tina turned to leave.
However, just as she took a step forward, Harley said in an unfriendly tone, “Wait, I happened to be looking for you too.”
When Tina heard this, she turned around and looked at Harley in confusion. She pushed up the black-framed glasses she was wearing and smiled generously without any fear. “May I help you?”
Harley stared at her and frowned. He went straight to the point. “I heard that you’re selling autographed photos of ‘the Legend’? Noelle treats you as a friend, but you’re using her to make money!”
Tina did not expect that Harley was here to stand up for Noelle. She didn’t panic. Instead, she admitted frankly, “Yes, I asked Noelle to get me autographed photos of ‘the Legend’ and then sold them. But I didn’t force Noelle. She volunteered to help me.”
“Huh.” Harley sneered. “You didn’t force her, but did you tell her that you made money with the autographs?”
Tina said calmly, “No.”
“Why didn’t you say anything? You don’t dare, right?" Harley said coldly, "I'll tell Noelle about this. If you know what’s good for you, you’d better confess to her.” He thought Tina would definitely leave in disappointment.
Unexpectedly, she smiled and said, “If you want to say it, go ahead! Do you think I’m afraid? Noelle is very innocent. As long as I explain to her, she will understand. Why should I listen to you and stay away from her? Harley, who are you to Noelle!”
Harley did not expect Tina to retort. His face darkened even more, and he was about to speak.
However, Tina beat him to it. “You like Noelle, right?”
Harley was shocked.
Tina smiled and said, “Do you want me to help you create opportunities for you and Noelle? Of course, it’s not free. You need to pay.”
“You…” Harley frowned. What a greedy girl.
However, Tina’s words had caught Harley off guard again. At this moment, he could not help but think. Should I cooperate with this woman! Although he knew that it was hopeless, he had to give it a try.
However, just as Harley was hesitating, Tina sneered, “Harley, what were you thinking about just now?”
Harley came back to his senses. He saw Tina’s delicate eyebrows raise and said teasingly, “Are you tempted! Do you want to work with me? Harley, you have your own selfish motives, so don’t be a pot calling the kettle black. We’re not innocent people, so don’t use your moral standards to kidnap me."
"Tina, you…”
“I still have something on. Goodbye, Harley.” Tina left without looking back.
Chapter 190
Harley lost completely. This was the first time he had been rendered speechless by a woman. He glared angrily in the direction where Tina had left and thought to himself, "What the hell!"
Previously, Harley thought Tina was a bookworm, but to his surprise, she was sharp-tongued. He had underestimated her.
