    In that moment, Albert said to Eileen, “What you saw that day between Elm and Calliope, nothing


    actually happened. Elm simply had a high fever and took a cold bath. You just stumbled upon them and


    misunderstood their actions.”


    Charlie added. “Exactly; he called us after you kicked him out in the middle of the night. We even took


    him to the hospital in the early hours”


    Eileen waspletely unaware of this. Upon hearing the exnation, she appeared remarkably calm.


    Calliope clenched her fists, her voice filled with defiance “Yes! So what if we haven’t been intimate?


    We’re still together as long as he hasn’t broken up with me. Don’t get too corky, Eileen. Your


    rtionship with Jasper won’tst long”


    After finishing her statement, she left in a hull.


    Albert looked at the calm Eileen, somewhat surprised. “You don’t seem to be angry at all!”


    Eileen slightly lifted her head to meet his gaze. Why should I be angry?


    With a lighthearted demeanor. Albert smiled subily, offering no further exnation.


    Once everyone had left, only Eileen remained. She was just about to leave when a slender, upright


    young man wearing a ke shirt and headphones around his neck emerged from behind a tree.


    Benjamin touched his neck and said, “I just happened to pass by. I wasn’t deliberately eavesdropping


    After returning. Eileen was summoned by Jennifer to the office to collect the test papers from thest


    examination.


    “Do you have any exnation for this performance?” questioned Jennifer


    Eileen shook her head. “No.”


    “I don’t want to interfere too much in your affairs. As your teacher, I just want to give you one piece of


    advice. Love is not a necessity in life. Even without relying on others. I believe that you can create a


    better life for yourself. Even a seemingly insignificant exam could be closely rted to your future path.


    This time, I’m giving you this opportunity. There’s no need to switch sses. From now on, focus more


    on your studies.


    “I understand. Thank you, Ms. Hayes.


    “If there’s anything you don’t understand, you can ask Vera. She’s your sister, right? She has already


    secured her rmendation spot. You should also work harder and stop being stubborn.”


    Eileen nodded. “All right.”


    As Lileen left, she heard Jennifer sigh.


    ncing at the report card. Eileen casually tossed it into the trash bin. The average scores were all


    around the seventies, with a few subjects even failing


    Chapter 253 Not Even Bothering To Exin


    She couldn’t afford to retreat any further,


    Benjamin emerged front the men’s restroom. Jason shook the water off his hands and reached into the


    trash can, showing no signs of being a germaphobe. “Wow, she regressed this much? Is she destined


    to be second best? Well, your scores and Eileen’s are at opposite ends, but hey… you could say you’re


    first in


    way.


    Benjamin said, “Mind your own business.


    Even so, Eileen continued to do as she pleased. She didn’t return to her ssroom but instead went to


    another building, to her art studio, where she was the only one inside,


    While she was adding color with her paintbrush, she identally allowed a drop of watercolor to fall,


    staining the other areas


    The ce within her that had already been tainted, her heart, suddenly felt as if a string har snapped in


    an instant. With a wave of her hand, the easel in front of her toppled over, and the paint in her hand


    was forcefully thrown to the ground


    The emotions she had suppressed for so long suddenly spiraled out of control, bringing her a


    momentary sense of relief.


    The water bucket spilled all over the floor. Eileen stared at it for a long time before silently getting up to


    clean it up. She stepped outside to find a broom. As she walked down the corridor, she heard the


    pleasant sound of a piano ying, the source of which she couldn’t determine.


    As Eileen was tidying up, the sound of the zither swept away her gloom.


    She seldom lost herposure, but for some reason, she had earlier.


    In the afternoon, when school was over. Jasper was ready to pick her up from the school gate to take


    her home.


    Eileen opened the car door and sat in the back seat


    Jaspermanded, “Drive”


    Eileen could tell from his tone that something was wrong, but she didn’t know what had happened. The


    atmosphere inside the car also felt unusually tense.


    Looking at the scenery outside the car window, neither of them said a word until they reached the


    Smith residence.


    The car came to a stop.


    Jasper was the first to leave the car, showing an unusual coldness toward her.


    Edeen didn’t know what was wrong with him.


    She also left the car and walked through the entrance.


    As soon as they entered, the housekeeper said, “Dinner is ready.”


    Jesper walked ought toward the upstairs, his body emanating a strong aura of displeasure that lingered


    Chapter 253 Not Even Bothering To Exin


    for a long time.


    No one knew what he was angry about.


    The housekeeper took Eileen’s schoolling. “Ms. Eileen, what happened to Mr. Jasper?”


    Eileen shook her head. ‘Go and prepare the dishes, I’ll take them up to himter.”


    “All right.”


    Eileen carried the food to his study, knocked on the door, and without any response, she walked in on


    her own. The vintage study was filled with a strong smell of smoke. He was standing in front of the


    floor-to- ceiling window with a freshly lit cigarette.


    Hearing the noise, Jasper didn’t turn around. Eileen ced the food on the table. “If you’re busy with


    company matters. I won’t disturb you. Remember to eat in leaving now


    “Halt!” he ordered.


    As his voice faded, Eileen’s heart rose in anticipation. Is there anything else?” she asked, her hands


    sped together in front of her.


    Jasper dropped the cigarette from his hand, turned around, and looked at her with his unfathomable


    eyes.


    I’ve looked into the adopted son of your father.”


    Eric Emotions in her heart rippled when she heard that.

    Seeing her silence. Jasper scowled. ‘Abour him… Is there anything you want to tell me?”


    He walked over, and Eileen felt a wave of oppression. The chilling aura enveloped her leaving her with


    nowhere to hide


    Jasper seemed to be trying to discern something from her eyes, but she was too calm, revealing


    nothing


    Eileen asked him. “What have you found out?”


    Jasper gazed at her intently, afraid that he might push her too hard and frighten her. Consequently,


    Jasper held himself back a little. “What do you think I will discover?”


    “You’re free to investigate him. I don’t have much to say about it. You don’t need to inform me about all


    this. I’m going to grab something to eat now,”


    Tm nning to take control of Caerulus Corporation and strip him of his authority.”


    Eileen paused at the door, without turning her head. She spoke with indifference. “This is your decision.


    It has nothing to do with me. Do as you wish.”


    Does the genuinely not care, or is she just pretending not to care? Why did she harm herself to be with


    him! Is she with me because he rejected her? She cares about him so deeply that she’s even willing to


    risk her life. Eileen, you be arter cared about me. You can’t even be bothered to offer me a perfunctory


    remark! Jasper clenched his teeth.


    When the housekeeper went to collect the dishes, all that could be seen in the study was a mess


    scattered acrrow the look


    Jasper, who rarely smoked, was sitting on the couch, surrounded by cigarette butts strewn on the floor,


    filling the room with a suffocating smell of smoke.
