Chapter 1468


    Poppy had also attended school at South Bayside High School, but she was always ying truant and


    being involved in fights. She was preupied with her underworld business, so she did not pay much


    attention to things like the school hunk or love stories within the campus. About someone like Flynn,


    who was from a poor family, she did not have a clue about him, so it was her first time meeting him in


    person.


    I didn’t expect him to look exactly like my godfather, Michael Fletcher, who is also Carmen’s biological


    father. At a quick nce, he truly resembles him based on our memories. Eleven years ago, Michael


    was ced under cryopreservation and he has been in a state of deep sleep. Once the technology has


    matured, he will be resurrected again. Carmen was 6 years old at that time whereas I was the same


    age too. Talking about him causes pain in everybody. Furthermore, I am afraid that I’ll age as I grow up


    and I might not be able to see Michael regain consciousness from the cryogenic sleep.


    Now that she saw the man who closely resembled Michael, she felt a lump forming in her throat, and a


    surge of emotions within her chest. Tears started to brim in her eyes and her body slumped weakly.


    She loosened her fist while she stared in a daze at his face.


    Although ten years had passed, Michael was still the national idol. His movies were still given awards


    and his work were ssics. There were many people imitating his style within the entertainment


    industry, but nobody could exceed his performance.


    The man in front of me looks exactly like the gentle and dignified man from my memory.


    While watching the two girls being stunned to the spot, Kimberly burst outughing as she jeered at


    Carmen, “I know that you are irrevocably in love with Flynn, but you should reflect on your family and


    background. Flynn is the sessor of the rk Family, while you are… Well, if your dad wasn’t the


    security guard at school and the school had reduced your tuition fees, I’m sure you wouldn’t have


    ended up sitting beside Flynn. You should know your ce, so stop your daydreaming!”


    With that, Kimberly held Flynn’s hand to march into Audistin.


    He remained silent throughout the ordeal and quietly left with her.


    The two young girls snapped back to reality after the couple left. Carmen let out a sob and she started


    to cry softly. Initially, Poppy was ready to punch him, but she held back as she thought, I can’t possibly


    hit that face!

    At that moment, she had no choice, but to soothe Carmen, “Alright now; stop crying. I will be honest


    with you—that b*stard has shown his true colors and you should give up on him! He has been lying to


    you all along. He ims that he’s keeping the rtionship a secret for your sake, but he’s been


    cheating on you in reality. That scumbag is not worth your tears!”


    Carmen did not reply to Poppy; instead, she tightly held onto the dog leash. Then, the two of them


    entered the elevator with the dog to leave the club.


    Although it was the start of spring, it was still chilly in Bayside City. The two of them were waiting for the


    bus at the roadside, but it was nowhere to be seen even though it was already around 8 to 9:00PM.


    Carmen was quiet, but Poppy was especially chatty.


    “Just look at you. I told you that men are b*stards in general, but you refused to believe me. Look at


    you—you’ve been fooled! Men are the same—they have a honey tongue and a heart of gall. In fact,


    they are mostly double-faced!” Despite her constant scolding, Poppy was already nning on different


    methods to break Flynn’s leg after school the next day.


    Flynn might be the sessor of the rk Family, but the rks… are nobodies! It is undeniable that


    the rks have been rather sessful in Bayside City after being involved with the Fletchers, but as


    the Young Miss of the Winston Family, I can beat him up as I please. If the rks were to investigate,


    I’d beat up the entire registered household. I’ll do it repeatedly until they stop investigating! The rk


    Family has no familial ties with the Fletcher Family. However, a year ago, the rk Family suddenly


    learned that their family member, Quinton rk, who has been long dead, has been living in the


    Fletcher Residence.


    In fact, they found out that Quinton has been reinstated in the genealogy record book as Hope Fletcher.


    Nevertheless, Hope was still in contact with the rks, so the rk Family has imed to be rted


    with Bayside City’s militarymander-in-chief, the Fletchers. In any case, they are not truly rted;


    yes, they are barely rted. Anyway, that is the reason why the rk Family’s value has increased


    drastically. Therefore, the distinguished and rich families, who previously couldn’t be bothered with


    them, started reconnecting to discuss the betrothal of the younger generation.


    The two girls failed to catch the bus, so they stopped by a street stall to have some barbecue food,


    which was Poppy’s treat. They chatted while enjoying the food. Carmen’s mood lightened over time,


    but she was still holding onto her phone, as if she was still expecting a phone call.


    “Here, Judge! Have a chicken drumstick.” Poppy fed the dog a drumstick. The husky was Judge’s great


    grandson and it was bornst year. It lived in Carmen’s house the moment it was born, so it was


    especially clingy to her. It would always follow her whenever she went to school.


    The two girls and the dog were hanging out at the street stall when Poppy suddenlymented, “Sigh, it


    is honestly rare for ultra-rich sessors, such as ourselves, to have the freedom of dining in a street


    stall.”


    The other sessors would require a barrage of bodyguards each time they headed out because they


    could be assassinated or kidnapped at any time.


    However, those two girls assumed low profiles as the Winston, Mitchell and Fletcher Families took very


    good care of them. Therefore, their identities had never been exposed before, which was the reason


    why they could enjoy their freedom for now. Nevertheless, they would not have that freedom in the


    future once they had to socialize within the upper ss socialwork sooner orter.


    Carmen had been studying abroad all along and even if she had no idea about the upper ss society


    in Bayside City, she was still the daughter of Taylor Murray—someone who was extremely popr


    once upon a time.


    She had always used her pet name ‘Carmen’ when she debuted in the film industry all those years ago.


    Therefore, her legal name had never been revealed.


    She left the filming and variety show industry at the age of seven to focus on her studies and to stay


    out of the public eye. As it stands, she was no longer popr and she had grown up. Hence, there


    were some changespared to the time when she was still a child. Therefore, nobody recognized


    her as Taylor’s daughter even though she studied at South Bayside High School for half a year.


    I love my family, but I do not like my background. That is why I’ve never revealed my family background


    to outsiders. The glory of my family feels suffocating. Outsiders are only able to see the brilliance and


    wonderfulness of a sessor, but they never see the pressure we endure and the struggle thates


    with it. My mother, Sophia Edwards, is the vice president of Ronney Group, and she is also the person


    in charge of the Cethosian and African regions. Besides, my grandmother, Anna Yard, is the president


    of Ronney Group.


    There is no introduction needed for my grandfather, Cooper Mitchell. In addition to that, my uncles’


    worth increases one after another. Furthermore, I have a few older brothers and they are either


    directors or CEO’s. I am the poorest and most useless one in the entire family. Thanks to my


    remarkable family background, everybody tends to pay attention and scrutinize my every action.


    People tend topare me with my other family members. I have a grandfather with a double degree


    when he was 18 years old whereas an uncle was involved with business management at the tender


    age of 15.


    They have achieved great things and it weighs down on my shoulders. I was constantly tense and


    stressed during the time I was in Eaton College and university. Furthermore, since I’m Carmen


    Fletcher, there’d always be arge group of people discussing me, even though I just happened to


    decide to cross my legs.


    “Look, the granddaughter of Fass Michel and Anna Yard is crossing her leg! Why would their


    granddaughter cross her legs?!”


    I’ve had enough of that kind of life. That is why after I obtained my doctorate when I was 16 years old, I


    abandoned everything to leave the university to return to Cethos. I hid my true identity to blend in at


    South Bayside High School. To begin with, I want to experience a normal life like my peers; next, I want


    to embark on a journey of fearless love. In any case… I’m not even sure if I’ve experienced love. Do I


    love Flynn or do I love that face embedded in my childhood memories from years ago? In hindsight, if a


    dog were to have the same face, I might throw myself forward to pursue it too! I think I love that face


    which closely resembles my father. I wish to spend time together with the person with that face, even if


    it’s just for a chat—I’d be beyond happy.
