During the lunch hour period, more students started to log into the school forum, and soon, the number of votes began to surge. Sylvia's vote was just a few numbers away from surpassing Ziesha. “Do you think Sylvia is going to win? I wonder what's wrong with those people's heads to have voted for that stoic-faced girl?” In the dining hall, a girl from the second year class complained to the person seated opposite her. After hearing no reply from the latter, the girl lifted her head and saw that the other party was busy playing with his light brain. She instantly became annoyed and slapped the table. “Hey, what are you doing?” “Casting my vote on the forum.” “Really? Let me see.” The girl hurriedly leaned over and peeked at the screen. Indeed, it was the school forum interface. However, the moment she saw the name of the person who was being voted for, she lifted her head in shock. “You… What the hell has gotten into your head, Julian? Don't tell me that you've been possessed by something. How can you vote for Sylvia?” Julian put away his device and looked up at the girl's accusing expression. “I don't think we are that close for you to start questioning my decision. Besides, your hate for Sylvia is none of my business, and whoever I cast my vote for should be none of your business. Don't ever approach me anymore.” Julian stood up under Fancy's surprised gaze and walked away. Already realizing that it's no use fighting over a fallen battle, why should he continue filling his heart with hate? He could only hope that Sylvia would let go of the past and put all the hateful things he had done to her to the back of her mind.Perhaps due to the sudden change in his heart, Julian felt his mind become clearer. “You…” Fancy watched in shock as Julian left the dining hall. “Dammit. You betrayer!” She kicked at the chair next to her in anger. Several heads turned towards her at the loud noise. “What are you staring at? You've never seen someone make a scene before!” The students immediately turned their heads away from her fierce gaze. “Damn that, Julian.” Fancy lowered her head at the half-finished food on the table and instantly lost her appetite. She put the spoon held in her hand down and walked out of the hall. This scenario was witnessed by Susu, who then reported it to Sylvia. [Wow, I never knew those two would have a fallout one day. And also, that guy Julian, why did he vote for you?] Don't tell him that bastard has started to harbor evil thoughts towards the host. Sylvia ate her food in silence, unaware of the system's thought. After she and Urea were done eating, they both stood up, ready to head back to class. However, on their way, they were suddenly stopped by a group of boys. “What are you doing?" Urea took a step backward and looked at the boys who were blocking the road. She noticed one of them holding a bouquet in his hand. What's this? Is this a confession scene? She cast a glance at Sylvia, waiting to see how she would react. Surprisingly, Sylvia's expression was very calm, unmoved by what was about to happen.“Congratulations, Sylvia Austen, for winning this session's school beauty contest. We are here to congratulate you on your win.” The boy extends the flowers in his hand forward. “Also, we've got a prize gift for you.” He signaled to one of the boys with his eyes. “Yes.” The boy immediately reached into his pocket and brought out what appeared to be a travel ticket. “Here it is, boss.” He stretched out the ticket. One of the nearby students who had sharp eyesight suddenly noticed the words written on the ticket and exclaimed aloud. “Oh my goodness, it's a visit ticket to the capital!” “What!” The dining hall instantly went into an uproar. “What did I just hear? A visit ticket to the capital?” “Is this true? If it's real, I wish I could go back in time and vote for myself millions of times.” “Isn't this year's prize gift for the champion a bit huge? I mean, that's a ticket that could change anyone's life. How did they even get their hands on it?” “I don't want to know about it. Right now, I'm just jealous of Sylvia. She's so lucky.” The boy who was holding the ticket felt his hand tremble under the hot stare of everyone. He swiftly wiped off the sweat on his forehead and handed the ticket over to the leader. ‘Phew.’ It felt as if his life had just been salvaged from the stare of several hungry lions. “Here's your prize, Miss Sylvia.” The leader extended the ticket forward along with the flowers. Sylvia stared at the golden seal on the ticket and knew that it was indeed the real deal. Her mouth twitched, and she couldn't help but wonder what the boys were playing at. She was someone who believed that there's no free food from the sky unless the other party has a hidden agenda behind it. She lifted her gaze at the leader, who was still smiling at her. “I'm so sorry, but I will have to reject this reward. I've never consented to putting my image up on the forum. So, the whole vote is void. Will you please excuse me?” She took a step to the side and walked away. “I…" Urea wanted to say something, but she hurriedly chased after Sylvia when she saw her leaving. “Wait for me.” “Oh my. What just happened?” “Did she just reject the reward?” The students who were in trance by Sylvia's rejection instantly find their voices. “Well, she is the CEO of a top company. Why would she need to participate in the beauty contest to get a visit ticket to the capital? This is the gap between the rich and the poor.” “What gap between the rich and poor? I think she's just a proud person. Isn't that so, Ziesha?” “Huh?” Ziesha recovered from her initial shock and looked at the girl waiting for her reply. “I said that Sylvia Austen is very proud. Does she think because she's so rich, she can act arrogantly? If it weren't for her, you would have been the owner of that visit ticket right now. Hmph, I really hate such a two-faced person.” Ziesha felt that there was something wrong with the girl before her. Why did she seem to bear a huge resentment towards Sylvia when the other party had done nothing to her? She certainly doesn't want to associate with such a person. Ziesha stood up from her seat. “I'm done eating.”“Ah. But we haven't yet touched the food. Wait for me; let me just—” “Bye.” Ziesha cut in and left decisively. Seeing this, the girl could only leave her meal and run after her. ... “Leader.” 'Tap' “Leader.” The man tapped again. “Did I say I don't have ears?” “I… Sorry, boss.” The boy immediately backed away and lowered his head in apology. “I want to ask, what are we going to do now since the mission the big boss gave us is incomplete?” “Do you think I don't see that?” The leader glared at the other party and jabbed him on the forehead. “It seems like you don't want your tongue anymore.” “Sorry, boss. I've spoken out of turn.” The boy lowered his head and apologized again. “Coward.” He pressed the boy's head further lower and looked at the others. “Let's go back. I will report to the big boss myself.” After saying that, he withdrew his hand from the boy's head and left. ... In a secluded corner, a familiar leader switched on his light brain and dialed a string of numbers. As soon as the person on the other end was connected, the previously arrogant look on his face instantly faded away. “Big boss.” He put on a flattering smile. “We did as you instructed and added Miss Sylvia’s name to the contestants' list. But the thing is, she refused the gift we offered to her.” “Oh.” The person on the other end acted unsurprised. “Is that all?” Is that all? Aren't you going to lash out at him for failing to carry out the job? “Yes, that's all.” The leader hurriedly nodded. “Okay. Don't call me if it's not an emergency matter about her. As for the visit ticket, tear it up. If any one of you dares use it, I will make sure you live a life worse than hell.” “Yes, yes.” The leader quickly nodded, and soon, the screen went dark. “Gosh, that was so scary.” He patted his chest in relief. At the other end of the line, a playful smile appeared on Louie's lips. “Such a cautious little cat.” He could already imagine the displeasure on Sylvia's face when she found her picture being uploaded to the school forum. What a pity that he won't be able to see her. However, Louie had a deep intuition that they would soon cross paths. It would be more interesting then.
