Chapter 1487


    The unselected Hope, Ashton, Drew and Albert were shivering on the side while Bailey remained


    motionless with a natural expression on his face. After Sophia served him a cup of tea, he thanked her


    before casually drinking it as if nothing was happening.


    The water in the cup was extremely calm, just like his heart at the moment, even though the scene had


    been turbulent and tense.


    He was now bearing all the hostility from Carmen’s male rtives as her uncles and brothers looked as


    though they really wanted to peel off his skin, but he remained calm as ever.


    However, Sophia was not worried for him at all.


    This old son-inw of mine is stronger than Michael. After all, he sells insurance. Look how cool and


    calm he is. What a talent!


    At the moment, Bailey was sitting on the ‘old son-inw seat’ that Michael used to sit on when he was


    facing Cooper. Even so, Bailey still maintained hisposure, as if it was made for him.


    Cooper stared furiously at him.


    I take you in as my little brother but now you are flirting with my granddaughter?


    Yet, Bailey seemed unfazed by Cooper’s gaze as he kept on drinking his tea indifferently.


    If Cooper doesn’t open his mouth, neither will I. I shall not make the first move until my enemy makes


    his.


    A storm was brewing in the house but Bailey was the only one with a smile as he was at ease, merging


    himself with his surroundings so that he wouldn’t be disrupted by the outside world.


    Although everyone’s eyes were full of hostility, they knew clearly what kind of a person Bailey was.


    He was someone that could even make Cooper flinch. Cooper had stated openly on more than one


    asion that Bailey was the only person he saw as someone with limitless potential. Ever since Bailey


    was in his teens, Cooper knew instantly that he would be a somebody after he grew up and his


    future would be boundless.


    Looking back, one could see that Cooper had a very high standard.


    Other than Bailey’s various sesses, his appearance was also outstanding. Not only did he have


    handsome features, he also had a pair of rare green eyes. Whether he was in the West or East, he


    would perfectly fit into everyone’s beauty standard. Also, the men who were present at the scene would


    never forget that New Year’s Eve ten years ago which they celebrated with Bailey.


    At that time, they peed together and realized…


    That fear had followed them for many years afterward.


    Although they only saw it ten years ago, there was still room for improvement. The only problem was


    that they didn’t know how huge it had now be…


    The strange atmosphere continued until Carmen came down after her bath; she had already changed


    into casual attire. When she realized that Bailey and everyone was still here, she took a nce at the


    time and realized that it was already eleven at night.


    Don’t these people need to sleep?


    “Bailey, don’t you need to go to work tomorrow? Why aren’t you going back home to rest?”


    Bailey poured himself a cup of tea while answering her, “It’s the weekend so I can afford to sleepte.”


    The reason he refused to leave was probably because he was waiting for an exnation.


    Didn’t we decide to choose Carmen’s true love today? Since I’ve been chosen, they need to give me


    an exnation. If not, I won’t leave.


    Naturally, Cooper knew what Bailey was thinking but he refused to give him an exnation, so he just


    continued to stare at him.


    Just like that, a bunch of people kept on staring at each other while Sophia served them tea


    enthusiastically.


    “Bailey, you will be staying in Bayside City for a while, right? Remember toe to our house for


    dinner if you have the time. Recently, Carmen is busy with her senior year revision so she only takes a


    break on weekend afternoons. Therefore, every weekend afternoon, I’ll make something delicious.


    Your house isn’t that far away from us, so please visit us often.”

    Bailey hummed in response.


    Beside him, Carmen eximed, “Have you really moved into a house near us?”


    “Yes. I’ve bought it from Mrs. Fletcher for a long time now.”


    Back then, Sophia kept on buying many houses with the money she earned and she had sold Bailey


    his house long ago.


    In the entire house, there were only the three of them who kept on chatting. At midnight, Bailey finally


    stood up to leave, so Sophia asked Carmen to escort him out of themunity.


    As soon as Bailey left, everyone else silently left too because the atmosphere was too weird and


    frightening.


    Cooper also left angrily afterward.


    Bailey really is a wless old grandson-inw.


    However, Cooper was still unsatisfied deep down.


    My daughter was taken away by that old son-inw, Michael, when she was just 18. Am I really going


    to stand and watch while that old man, Bailey, tries to snatch my granddaughter away from me at the


    age of 17? Never! I’m having none of this!


    The moment Cooper returned to his courtyard house, he felt even more unsatisfied so he made a call


    at midnight. “Tell the Michel, Winston, Fletcher and Mitchell Family toe up with a list of talented


    young boys aged 18 to 22 this very instant. I want to choose one of them to be my


    granddaughter’s partner at the dance party.”


    Meanwhile, Carmen had brought Bailey to themunity gates. The journey wasn’t that long so the


    two of them didn’t seem to converse much on the way. In the meantime, she was wondering why


    everyone was acting so weird today. As for Bailey, he was already standing by the gate while pointing


    to a single vi directly across the road from themunity. “That is the house I bought long ago. It’s


    now fully renovated, so feel free toe visit me.”


    “Huh?” Carmen was shocked.


    Is he actively inviting me to his house?


    Sadly, Bailey already walked out of themunity while reminding her. “Go get some rest. You still


    have ss tomorrow.”


    She stood by themunity gate and watched as he casually took out the Imperial’s ess card


    before crossing the road and returning to his home.


    While walking back home, she felt that today was a little too fantastical.


    The cold Bailey Adams isn’t cold at all today.


    Truth was, he had always been a gentle person in Carmen’s mind.


    That coldness is just his outer persona.


    Although the next day was a Saturday, it was still a day filled with sses for the senior year students.


    From seven to half past nine in the morning, they were buried in an endless wave of books and


    assignments.


    Today, as soon as Carmen arrived at school, she could feel that there was something wrong because


    everyone in ss was looking at her weirdly. The moment she stepped in the ss, she instantly saw


    the defeated Flynn sitting at his desk.


    Upon seeing her, he quickly rushed up to her.


    “Carmen, how could you be so depraved? I can’t believe you are willing to be someone’s mistress. Do


    you know how shameless you are? If you need money, I can lend some to you!”


    He grabbed her shoulder and shook her vigorously to a point where she was in a daze.


    What happened?


    Amidst Flynn’s cries, many students in ss started whispering about her being someone else’s


    mistress.


    “You’re crazy!”


    After that, she sat back on her seat and ignored the insane Flynn.


    Last night, someone posted a photo of Carmen in a sports car on the school’s forum and student


    website, so everyone assumed that she had be someone else’s mistress.


    Not only that, she was also the niece of the ss teacher, Hope Fletcher, so everyone used her of


    enrolling into the school not because of her academic results but because of her connections. They


    said that she wasn’t able to get good grades, which was why Hope would transfer the answer to her


    during every examination by abusing his power. Moreover, they used Hope of taking away Flynn’s


    name in the rmendation list and recing it with Carmen’s.


    During the morning self-study period, Hope, who would usually peep in through the backdoor silently to


    watch everyone study, didn’t show up today. In the afternoon, everyone suddenly received the news


    that he was fired.


    Not only was he fired, the security guard at the gate, Theo, was also released by the school. As for


    Carmen, she was also lodged in a jointint by the parents association for being someone’s


    mistress.


    At the moment, members of the parent association were all gathered in the principal’s office to cause a


    ruckus. In the end, the school couldn’t handle the pressure so they fired the people mentioned in the


    comint. After all, they were a prestigious school and they couldn’t afford any scandals happening.


    In the afternoon, Carmen began to pack up her stuff while Theo silently came to help her put away the


    things on her desk. As for Hope, he was also packing up his stuff in the office. And so, the three of


    them were expelled from the school.
