Chapter 909
"You''re fine with just a penny?" Scarlette said disbelievingly.
Original from N?velDrama.Org.
"A penny is good enough. I''ll just take it as recycling."
"I''ll help you ask about it when I get the chance then," Scarlette answered helplessly. There was no
way that she was going to fork out her own money for it.
Deanna grabbed Scarlette''s arm happily as she counted the number of electronic devices at home
that she could sell. "Your family is so rich. Do you stillck that little bit of money?" Scarlette asked,
confused.
"After I sell them, I can donate the money to those in need. Then, they can eat better."
"You can do that with your allowance."
"That''s different."
While they were talking, Zorion took Raeleigh''sptop and opened it. "How many tens of thousands
did you buy this for?"
Scarlette''s jaw nearly dropped when she heard this. Raeleigh just stared at Zorion.
"Less than 4,000 dors," Raeleigh replied.
"Oh?" Deanna''s eyes lit up. "I want it! I want it too!"
Scarlette was getting a headache. God, please save me! Scarlette thought to herself.
"This is estimated to cost around 37,000 dors. Who sold it to you?" Zorion knew full well that
Jepherson had given it to her, but he still examined it carefully. Raeleigh stood there without saying
a word. Zorion handed theptop bag to Raeleigh, turned on theputer, and looked at the
programs inside. Shooting a nce at Raeleigh, he closed it.
"It''s imported," Zorion remarked. Raeleigh turned to Scarlette and asked, "Could it be that we took
the wrong ones?"
"It''s possible."
After taking a look at Scarlette''sptop, Deanna cried out, "You''re so lucky, you got such good
laptops! Did you leave your phone number? You''ll be held responsible if they find out."
"I know the seller," Scarlette replied. "I''ll go back and ask."
"Don''t ask. Maybe he doesn''t know."
Raeleigh wasn''t sure how to respond to Deanna''s remark. The apple never falls far from the tree,
and the Whalen family were a family of business people. They were really very shrewd.
That might be the reason behind the saying that all businessmen are dishonest.
With Zorion''s help, Raeleigh put theptop away. She continued to hold it, refusing to let it go as
she trailed behind the others.
As they walked, Deanna brought up the proposal of having them stay at their apartment, but
Raeleigh refused.
Zorion had caused that whole debacle. If she moved there, who knew what would happen.
After all, those female students were so obsessed with Zorion that they didn''t know what they were
doing.
The only person Raeleigh was worried about was Quirina. She couldn''t figure out what she should
do if Quirina pestered her again.
Quirina was persistent.
Time and time again...
At the door to their dorm room, Scarlette saw that there were two people waiting for her, one of
whom was the head lecturer for Raeleigh''s course. Seeing Raeleigh, the lecturer stepped forward
and greeted her. "Raeleigh, it must''ve given you quite the scare. The university is deeply sorry for
this. We have taken the necessary measures. You can continue staying here in peace in the future."
"Thank you," Raeleigh replied, clutching herptop tightly.
"Let''s go. I''ll show you the new dorm room Scarlette and you will be staying in. Scarlette, are you all
right?" The lecturer remembered to ask after Scarlette as well. If she didn’t, Scarlette would think
that she was being ignored yet again and that she was unimportant.
Raeleigh followed the lecturer to the new dorm room. It was much better than their original one.
"This incident has angered Mr. Horatio and all the lecturers. It was a unanimous decision to expel
the students involved, so many rooms are now empty. This room is for you two. You can stay here
without any worries this time," said the lecturer. Raeleigh looked around and thanked the lecturer
again.
Before the lecturer could leave, Deanna hurriedly called out to her.
"What''s the matter, Deanna?" The lecturer''s attitude towards Deanna was even better than that of
Mr. Horatio''s. Even though she was a lecturer, it wouldn''t hurt to curry favor with Deanna.
"May I stay with Raeleigh and the others? I want to stay here too." Deanna looked at the lecturer
intently, who was more than happy to oblige.
"That''s not a problem, but you''re not a student in
my ss."
She was hinting that Deanna should join her ss.
"Can''t we juste over?" Zorian interjected.
Although he was still young, Zorion had an aura about him that gave off an invisible pressure,
intimidating and indubitable.
The lecturer had just wanted to trick Deanna into joining her ss. However, after hearing what
Zorion said, she banished the idea from her mind.
"That''s fine." As soon as the lecturer changed her mind, Deanna immediately sped her hands
together and thanked her fervently.
The lecturer gave an embarrassed smile. Deanna was much more likeable than Zorion.
"There are four beds here, so you can all stay here. You just need to go over to the campus housing
office to sign some paperwork."
"We''ll go and do thatter. Sorry to trouble you," Zorion answered. Feeling uneasy, the lecturer
made up an excuse that she had other matters to attend to and left hurriedly.
After she left, Deanna started picking which bed to sleep in. She pointed to the lower bunk, saying,
"I''ll stay here, and Raeleigh will sleep opp..."
Deanna thought for a moment and changed her mind. "Scarlette, you sleep opposite me. Raeleigh
and my brother will sleep opposite each other."
Scarlette raised her eyebrows and asked, "Are you sure you''re not having a fever?"
"I''m not," Deanna replied, touching her forehead. She walked to Zorion and said, "Zorion, can you
check my temperature?"
Zorion ced his hand on her forehead. "You''re not sick."
Scarlette was speechless. Was Deanna doing all this on purpose? Scarlette wondered.
Scarlette looked over at Raeleigh, but Raeleigh was silent. Raeleigh looked around at the room. It
was indeed better than the one they were staying in.
Raeleigh put down herptop and wandered around the room. She was quite pleased with it. Then,
she sat on the bed.
A delighted Deanna hurried home to pack her belongings.
After the siblings left, Scarlette sat opposite Raeleigh and asked, "Do you not know what happened
just now? Do you need me to exin it to you?"
"That''s not necessary. Deanna said that she wants to live here." Raeleigh heard it herself. She
knew that there were many things that she couldn''t change, so she pretended that she didn''t hear it.
Scarlette sighed sadly and said, "How did I ever cross paths with you? I feel so helpless."
"Why don''t you leave then?" Raeleigh shot an angry look at Scarlette. Scarlette red at Raeleigh
and retorted, "If I wanted to leave, do you think I would stay?"
Raeleigh didn''t take Scarlette''s response to heart. She nced at Scarlette and asked, "Do you like
that man named Hadrian?"
"Hadrian?" Scarlette scratched her head. "I don''t know."
Raeleigh didn''t ask any more questions. She was thinking that Scarlette was actually quite innocent.
Scarlette thought of something suddenly. She looked at Raeleigh and asked, "How do you know
Hadrian?"
"I heard you talking in your sleep." Raeleigh got up and began putting their things away. Scarlette
got up and followed her, asking, "I don''t talk in my sleep, so how could you have heard anything?"
"Oh, really?" Raeleigh answered Scarlette''s question with another question. Scarlette raised her
eyebrows. "You''re so sly. I wonder if Mr. Jepherson would still like you if he knows about it."
"Who do you call him Mr. Jepherson? Are you his
maid?" Raeleigh looked
at Scarlette strangely. Scarlette stopped talking immediately. "I didn''t say anything."
Amused, Raeleigh replied, "I didn''t say that you said anything."
Scarlette stopped talking, but Raeleigh still thought that it was hrious.
