Chapter 56
Cordelia eyed Everard with a mixture of curiosity and caution.
His eyes betrayed no hint of fear, but his face was a shade paler than usual,
perhaps from fright.
Whether he was faking it or genuinely scared, she couldn't deny her boyfriend's
“reasonable request“. But she did have one card up her sleeve.
With a languid voice, she offered, “I'll just grab your breakfast then.”
That would keep Cordelia at a safer distance from Everard.
As Cordelia turned to leave, Everard rose to his feet and followed closely behind
her, his voice steady, “With you here, I'm not scared at all.”
Calvert, who had been sitting silently at the table like a church mouse, was
speechless. Back in the day, when their group huddled together, they used to
wonder if there was anything Everard couldn't do. They concluded that Everard
might only be helpless at dating.
Now it seemed like the big man could handle even that with flair.
In his first love, Everard was already pulling off moves so suave that surprised
Calvert. He resolved to demand a “mental health allowance” when he got back
for being force—fed this daily dose of romantic display. This was just inhumane
They continued their breakfast in silence.
Cordelia’s phone buzzed.
She glanced at it and saw a text from Actorman, “Lia, I got the bag! Thanks a
bunch! How much do I owe you? Send over your bank details and I'll transfer the
cash”
She had shipped off the bag to Bland after acquiring it last week, but it was only
now, seeing his message, that she remembered she hadn't settled up with
Everard
“How much for the bag?” she inquired.
Everard swallowed his mouthful of pancakes and replied, “200
Cordelia texted back the details.
LearnLover replied, “Two hundred. Bank account is XXX.
Actorman continued, “Got it, Lia. The money's on its way”
Cordelia didn't give it another thought and went back to her meal.
After they finished, she pulled out her wallet and laid three hundred—dollar bills
on the table, “The extra hundred's for breakfast.
Calvert was at a loss for words
He silently choked on his pancake as he swallowed the fact that this bag was
actually worth 200 thousand
In their group chat “Who exactly is this girl?“, a heated discussion was unfolded
Bland sent a message, “Lia's amazing, no clue where she gets this bag without
markup. She sold it to me at the original price]
Limited edition bags were collectibles and could be sold for a premium since they
were in short supply
Stanton added, “Lia's family must be loaded, not caring about this chump
change. I sent her my sheet music. yesterday, and she pinpointed three issues
right away.”
Bland continued. “Designer bags are accessible with Cordelia

high
After lunch, Cordelia headed to school.
At the school gates, a black Rolls Royce was parked, and the driver respectfully
opened the rear door Yates, sporting a shock of red hair, stepped out in his
uniform, eyes glued to his phone
His presence exuded an untamed aura that kept his peers at a safe distance,
with no one daring to come. within several meters of him.
A fellow student, not noticing Yates, greeted him only when they were too close
to ignore each other. “Hey,
Yates
The young man, clearly annoyed, looked up with fiery eyes that nearly buckled
the other's knees.
Yates was about to move on when someone tapped his shoulder, pushing him to
the brink of rage.
“Who the hell is bothering me... Yates was about to lash out but turned to see a
pair of clear and seemingly misty eyes staring back at him
Cordelia was expressionless, just looking at him.
Yates froze, then reluctantly muttered, “Boss Cordelia.”
Cordelia indifferently replied Yates’ greet.
The lone wolf that was Yates now meekly followed her into the school, glancing
back only to notice how her backpack sagged under its weight, likely heavy, while
his backpack was left in the classroom, untouched.
Pondering his next move, he overheard her curious voice, “What were you
looking at just now?”
Yates instinctively locked his phone and pocketed it, “Nothing much.”
After a brief glance at her, he prepared for further questions that might require
deflection.
Instead, she simply acknowledged and didn’t pursue the conversation further.
Yates was at a loss for words.
They parted ways on the third floor, with Yates quickly ascending to the top floor
and his classroom.
Class 8 was known for the worst academic performance in the school, and four
members of the Flame Union were among them.
Upon his arrival, Flame No. 1 rushed over, “Bro Yates!”

Apart from Jake in their province, there were two others with strong reputations in
the Galaxy Math Whiz Competition.
Cordelia, however, was not favored, trailing a thousand votes behind the leader.
Yates shared the link to the group chat of Flame Union with the simple command,
“Vote.”
Unaware of the online buzz, Cordelia had spent her day in the math club,
reworking the dampened sections of her Batra’s Conjecture.

Meanwhile, in Ontoky City, Frankie was hunched over in his lab, squinting at the
mathematical models on his computer screen when his phone chimed.
LearnLover asked, “Hello?
