~ At Neon Royal Night Club ~


    Mark and Daniel were hanging out with their friend, Alexis when Alexis'' younger brother arrived.


    "Hey, what are you doing here? I thought Dad and Mom had grounded you starting today, little bro." Alexis said teasingly to his younger brother who looked gloomy right now.


    Alexis was talking to John. He was his younger brother.


    "That''s why I flee. Don''t tell Dad and Mom that I am here. They thought I was at home, sleeping," John responded to Alexis. He walked over and joined them at the bar counter.


    Alexis shook his head helplessly. "What trouble did you cause this time that made Dad very upset?"


    A cold glint shed through John''s eyes as he remembered everything that happened today.


    They met Matthew Wilkins and Tristan Davis in the Guidance Office, confronting them. After that, they met a mysterious stranger whom they thought knew how to hypnotize.


    They were summoned again by the Guidance Counselor, facing the Disciplinary Committee. Their scheme against Sophia was revealed to them because of the phone taken from him by the mysterious stranger who happened to be Sophia''s friend.


    They were punished by the Guidance Counselor and Disciplinary Committee, subjecting them to domunity service for one month.


    Then their parents called them out together as theirpanies were affected by their action. They thought Matthew influenced Tristan Davis to cklist their parents''pany.


    They were grounded for a month. Their parents confiscated their car keys and credit cards. Strictly no hanging out for them or else they won''t receive money and allowance from their parents.


    All of this mischief in one day happened because of Sophia, Matthew, and Tristan. They nned to get revenge by spreading Sophia''s video.


    However, the most depressing part was they lost all the copies of Sophia''s and Marcus'' scandal video. Upon entering his room to check hisptop that had a back-up copy of the video, he was bewildered to see hisptop got destroyed. It was burned and beyond repair. He lost lots of files.


    Now, John came to his brother''s club to vent his frustration for today''s misfortune. He was angry that he failed to get his revenge after being beaten up by Matthew.


    Mark and Daniel were surprised after hearing the story from John. They didn''t expect to hear that Matthew had a girlfriend who was still in college.


    Matthew and Tristan even used the Heavenly Star Enterprise to punish the others by cklisting their parents''pany.


    Mark and Daniel didn''t know if Chairman Lu was aware of this. They couldn''t believe that Tristan would do that just because of personal reasons. Thepany might lose potential revenue and partnerships with those otherpanies.


    "What is he thinking? Is this the quality of a CEO? Not business-minded. He let himself be affected by personal feelings in making reckless decisions that might harm thepany," Mark suddenly blurted out in annoyance.


    "We should inform Grandpa Lu about this. Tristan is abusing his power and authority as the CEO," Daniel alsomented.


    John nced at him in confusion. That''s the time Alexis introduced his friends to his younger brother, John.


    "By the way, this is Mark and Daniel, my friends. They are members of the Davis Family, Tristan''s cousins. And this is my younger troublesome brother, John."


    John was taken aback after hearing that. He ranted against Tristan and Matthew in front of them, only to find out they were rted to Tristan.


    ''Did I offend them again?'' John pondered at that thought.


    As if Mark had read his mind, he let out a soft chuckle and said, "Rx John. We are on the same page. Just like you, we hate Tristan and Matthew."


    "Matthew had beaten you up?! Hmmm, little John, do you want revenge? We can help you with that," Daniel offered him a hand while shing a sly smile on his face.


    "Yes, we still have scores to settle with those two. Do you want our help?" Mark asked John again.


    John couldn''t believe this. Tristan''s cousins were offering him help to get his revenge against Matthew. ''Are they for real? They are going to help me.''


    John didn''t respond yet and he just nced at his older brother with a questioning look. Alexis just nodded at him while giving him a reassuring smile. He was telling John that his friends were serious.


    "Hmmm, okay. Can you help me then? What are you nning?" John finally agreed.


    Mark and John just exchanged nces, giving John a meaningful smile. The two cousins were now scheming once more against Matthew and Tristan.


    "Ok, John. Listen carefully. This is what we are gonna do."


    Mark began sharing his n with John, Alexis, and Daniel. Everyone agreed with his proposition. This time John would finally get his revenge against Matthew including Tristan Davis.

    ~ University of Imperial Knight ~


    Today was the registration of participants for the Selection of Campus Belle. Zhen-Zhen was apanied by Alicia and Betsy.


    Though Tristan agreed to her request, Zhen-Zhen was still wearing her disguise today. Tristan suggested to her that she should only reveal her true appearance on the day of Selection and Voting.


    Tristan gave her tips that once she did that, the result would be more impactful. This would give her targets quite a shock, thinking that they were having an advantage but in fact, they couldn''t stand a chance against the beauty of his wife, Zhen-Zhen.


    Other participants and students might look down on her and evenugh at her once she registered using her disguise.


    But on the day of the Selection, those insults she received from them would be a great face p for them once they saw Zhen-Zhen''s true appearance.


    Zhen-Zhen liked the idea and suggestion of her naughty husband. Facepping sounded very fun for her. Her demonic side was kicking in. She wanted to give Jade a big p on the face but not literally pping her face.


    She couldn''t wait to see the faces and reactions of Jade and her friends once she got the title of Campus Belle.


    Tristan told her not to worry too much. He believed that Zhen-Zhen would definitely win this and gain the title~ Campus Belle.


    Tristan would consider those men blind and foolish if they won''t choose Zhen-Zhen after seeing her true appearance. He was now excited to see his wife outshine the other participants.


    After recalling the conversation she had with Tristan, Zhen-Zhen took a deep breath as she walked toward the Student Council Office.


    Other students who would participate and represent their respective sses were already gathered and lining up in the front of the Student Council Office. Athena and Jade together with Nyka and Emma were already there.


    Mary, who was assigned to the registration table, saw Zhen-Zhen approaching. She immediately stood up and waved at her with a cheerful smile on her face.


    "Are you here to register?" Mary asked Zhen-Zhen excitedly when she reached the registration table.


    Everyone who was gathered around that table including Jade and her friends had a look of disbelief when they heard Mary''sst statement.


    "Yes, sunbae. I will be the one representing our ss in this event," Zhen-Zhen said with confidence.


    The murmuring started when they heard her. They were giving Zhen-Zhen a weird look. Some evenughed at her tantly.


    "What? Is she a joke? Seriously… someone like her representing their ss?"


    "She''s from First-year ss A. Wow… what confidence she has. Hahaha."


    ''"Not funny at all."


    As expected, Zhen-Zhen became aughingstock that day. She heard different insults but she didn''t mind it. She just ignored them and continued filling up her registration form.


    Mary was trying her best to be patient with others. She wanted to scold those people who were throwing insults at Zhen-Zhen but, Zhen-Zhen stopped her.


    "It''s alright, Sunbae. Just don''t mind them. I''m fine." Zhen-Zhen reassured Mary.


    Mary could only sigh and nod her head. She knew that those people whoughed at Zhen-Zhen today would cry in the end since she''s confident that Zhen-Zhen would win the title of Campus Belle in their school.


    ''Hmmp. Just you wait. We will see. Lillie will show you the true meaning of beauty. A woman with a good heart. That''s Lillie! She''s different from these pretentious socialite beauties who think so highly of themselves.'' Mary thought to herself. She was already rejoicing inwardly.
