Chapter 1058
All eyes were fixed on Lina, their gaze piercing her like needles.
“Why?” she asked, feeling indignant.
Heidi rolled her eyes, not bothering to exin.
However, Violet rushed over, sneering at her. “Hah, why? Because you look so shabby!
“Lina, why don’t you go back to your room and take a good look at yourself? Look at what you’re
wearing. Seriously, we’re visiting the pce! It’s the noblest ce in all of Southeast Aciatic! With your
appearance, you’ll be theughingstock once you step foot in the pce!”
“You…” Lina tightly clenched her hands, her knuckles turning white.
Violet unted her newly purchased LV bag, put on her sunsses, and smirked mockingly before
walking away.
“Lina.” A familiar voice suddenly came from behind.
Lina was startled to see it was Gia. It was the first time she had voluntarily spoken to her since they
traveled from Jangasas to Southeast Aciatic.
“Gia, I—”
Gia interrupted her. “Lina, I think what Violet said makes sense, and Ms. Lister’s concerns are valid.”
“What are you saying?” Lina felt like she had stepped into a void, deeply hurt. “Gia, aren’t you going to
support me?”
“What do you expect me to support?” Gia’s gaze turned cold as she scrutinized Lina. “You going to the
pce looking like this is truly embarrassing! Don’t tarnish our university’s reputation!”
Lina bit her lip, unable to say anything, overwhelmed by a strong sense of helplessness.
Their friendship seemed to be drifting further apart, just like Gia’s fading figure disappearing from her
sight.
This was a rare opportunity to visit the pce, but if Heidi really wouldn’t allow her to go, Lina had
nothing to say.
If Gia could speak up and defend her, it would provide some sce even if she couldn’t go…
Lina took a deep breath, suppressing her grievances, and walked upstairs to her room in a daze.
Keira grabbed her arm, “Lina, I have spare clothes. Why don’t I lend you something? They’re all
designer brands, so they should meet Ms. Lister’s standards…”
Lina forced a smile. “No need.”
She knew Keira meant well, but at this point, no matter what she did, Heidi would never let her join the
visiting group.
…
The school group arrived at the entrance of the pce on time.
After going through multiple security checks and nearly two hours of hassle, they finally passed through
the pce gate. Before entering, they had to strictly adhere to the royal family’s requirements and
change into long robes, while the girls had to wear long skirts.
Once everything was ready, Remus arrived with a squad of guards. “You’re the students from
Jangasas, right?”
“Yes, that’s us!” Heidi smiled obsequiously, prompting everyone to show their invitation letters. “We just
received the notificationst night. It’s a personal invitation from the king himself. We’re truly honored!”
“His Majesty hopes that the students from your esteemed institute will have a pleasant and
unforgettable day here!”

Remus bowed slightly and collected everyone’s invitation letters, checking them one by one. However,
there was not a single one with Lina’s name among the stack of invitation letters.
Remus furrowed his brow and checked again. He couldn’t forget or dare to mistake Lina’s name. She
was the young Count’s wife. How could he dare to make such an error?
Furthermore, she was the main star of the event today. If it weren’t for her, the king wouldn’t have
invited this group of people!
Heidi noticed his unfavorable expression and approached with a ttering smile, asking, “Sir… Is there
a problem?”
Remus had someone bring a list and checked it with a serious demeanor.
He said, his tone serious, “Ms. Lister, the number of students on your side doesn’t match the list.”
Heidi pushed her sses up and smiled, replying, “Oh, one student isn’ting.”
Remus’ curiosity was piqued, so he asked, “Who is it?”
“Lina Jenner,” Heidi answered.
Remus’ expression abruptly changed. “Why isn’t sheing?”
Heidi hesitated, realizing she hadn’t prepared a proper answer to this question. Reflecting on it, she
found the customs of the pce to be peculiar. Wouldn’t it be better to have fewer people? Why were
they so meticulous about it?
Remus pressed further.
“Because this student’s attire and appearance are not very appropriate, there’s no need for her to
come,” Heidi said.
Remus chuckled lightly. “That doesn’t matter. Once Ms. Jenner arrives, we can provide her with
appropriate attire.”
Heidi interjected, “But she… She’s been coughing and not feeling well.”
Remus considered her words. “Is that so? We have a renowned physician, Mr. Rowan Irwin, who
frequently visits the pce. We can ask him to check on her and ensure a swift recovery.”
Heidi struggled to find a reasonable excuse.Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay

Remus saw through her hesitation, giving her a cold sneer. “Ms. Lister, if Ms. Jenner doesn’te,
then everyone’s invitation letters will be invalid.”
Heidi panicked. “What? Why? It’s just one person less. Besides, she doesn’t want toe. She prefers
to rest at the hotel.”
Remus raised an eyebrow. “She doesn’t want toe? The opportunity to visit the pce is rare.
Every student studying architectural arts would want toe! Ms. Lister, could it be that you hold a
grudge against her and intentionally don’t want her toe?”
Heidi sucked in a cold breath, realizing the power Remus held as someone by the king’s side,
overseeing the entire pce.
Heidi couldn’t afford to offend Remus. As she hesitated, Remus gestured, and dozens of guards swiftly
stepped forward, blocking their path.
“Ms. Lister, you’re the teacher in charge, but the number of students doesn’t match the list. I can’t
exin this to His Majesty! Take the students back. The visit ends here!” Remus dered.
“How can this be!?” Heidi panicked, and the students behind her started moring and protesting.
Realizing the situation was about to spiral out of control, Heidi didn’t hesitate. She turned to Violet and
said, “Violet, call Lina and ask her toe here!”
“Why me? I won’t call that girl!” Violet objected.
Heidi red at her, shocked that Violet would turn her back on her at such a critical moment.
“No need to make the call,” Remus interjected with a chuckle. “Tell me, which hotel are you all staying
at?”
Reluctantly, Heidi provided the name of the hotel.
Remus nodded, and the royal guards’ vehicles slowly departed from the pce with a gesture.
Everyone was left dumbfounded. This kind of formation was only seen in military parades on television.
“Listen to my instructions, everyone!” Remusmanded, standing at the forefront with amanding
voice. “Hurry to the hotel and bring Ms. Lina Jenner to visit the pce!”
“Yes!” the group responded.
The convoy proceeded grandly, adorned with Southeast Aciatic gs and the royal insignia on every
vehicle, emanating a sense of nobility in the sunlight.
