"Something happened to my family''s factory. Are you behind it?" The boy had been scolded by his father and had hardly slept the night before, so he came to the gate early and waited for Ivy.


    His father called homest night saying that a few of the clients had terminated their contracts with their factory, and when the boy''s father went to speak to those clients, they informed him that they had terminated their contracts because his son had crossed someone he should not have.


    If his house was close to the university dorm, the boy''s father would have gone all the way to the dorm to beat him up.


    He had not slept the entire night. He had stayed awake wondering who he had crossed, and the only person he could think of was Ivy.


    "What happened to your family''s factory?" Ivy asked in confusion.


    "Are you not the one who did it? The only one I upset was you," the boy said in frustration. "I didn''t expect you to be so capable as to do such a thing to our factory... We only have a few clients, and they all terminated their contracts with usst night, saying that I''ve crossed someone that I shouldn''t have and I can only think of you!"


    Ivy realized that Elliot must have found out about the boy.


    "If you aren''t going to say anything, that means you are admitting to it!" shouted the boy. "I won''t harass you anymore! I won''t talk to you or message you. Please spare our factory."


    "I don''t know anything about this. Maybe you should think a little harder as to whether you''ve harassed other girlstely!" Ivy would not admit that it was her family who did it, but she did not want the boy to think that he could continue to harass her. "Don''t be so rude in the future! This is no way to pursue a girl, and it''s practically harassment!" Ivy said before hurrying inside.


    The morning passed peacefully, and that afternoon, she hesitated for a moment before texting her mother.


    Avery did not bother hiding the truth


    from her daughter, and she replied right away. [Your dad did it. It''s?ust meant to scare him away, and it won''t actually harm them.]


    Relieved, Ivy texted back. [How did Dad find out about it?]


    Not wanting to betray the driver, Avery replied with a white lie. [Someone took a photo of you when you were being harassed by that boy, and sent it to your dad. Maybe it''s one of the teachers!]


    [Oh... He is quite annoying. I turned him down, and it''s like he didn''t even understand what I was saying.]


    [Maybe he''s confident and hasn''t been turned down before! If this happens again, you can tell me about it. I''m retired now so I''m free all the time.]Material ? N?velDrama.Org.


    [I didn''t want to trouble you over it. I threatened him. I told him that if he still wanted to enjoy university, he should stay away from me.]


    [Good. Your sister has reached Cambrude. Has she contacted you?]


    [She sent me a photo of some snow. It was snowing so heavily over there! It looks like a kingdom made of ice and snow.]


    [Do you want to go there as well?]


    [Maybe, when I have the chance! I


    need to focus on my studies for now. I''m sure Aryadelle looks just as beautiful when it snows during the winter holidays.]
