“Eat slowly, are you holding a grudge against your food? Look at the way you eat—who would ever like you? When you grow up, if no one wants you, don’t expect Mom to find you a wife.” Looking at William Clark’s once handsome face now scrunched up, Olivia Young was secretly amused, though her expression remained stern.
This little lecher won’t have a wife? I’m afraid all the men in the world would have to stay single! Hugh Clark muttered with a smile, just don’t end up with too many women in the future!
Seeing William Clark’s obviously unhappy face, Ethan Murray softened and whispered in his ear, “I’ll give you my pocket money later.” Before William Clark could get happy, Olivia Young, who was eating with her head down, said coolly, “Xuehen, you’re not allowed to give your pocket money to Wudao!” This was no different from the Supreme Court sentencing William Clark to death. William Clark collapsed powerlessly onto the chair with a groan—why is my life so hard!
Oh heavens, please compensate me by letting beauties rain down on me!!!
Chapter 3: The Academy of Nobles (Part 1)
Depressed, he finished his breakfast, depressed, he picked up his Adidas shoulder bag, depressed, he walked toward the Mercedes S600 that was dedicated to taking the two of them to and from school, and depressed, William Clark sat in the back seat of the car.
The garage at William Clark’s house had four cars. One was an Audi A6 that Olivia Young used for commuting—naturally a government car, and it matched her steady temperament, though the Audi couldn’t quite bring out Olivia Young’s noble and icy aura. Hugh Clark, who only held an honorary position at the Ye family business, drove a convertible BMW Z4; the last car was a “Teana” used for family trips on weekends and holidays. This was already considered very few for the Ye family—someone like Kenneth Clark alone owned no less than twenty luxury sports cars, including top-tier models like the Maybach and the Bugatti EB16-4 Veyron.
The school that William Clark and Ethan Murray attended was Mingzhu Academy, known as the “Eastern School for Nobles.” The teachers’ qualifications and the facilities—both hardware and software—were world-class. Of course, not just anyone could attend, since the annual tuition alone was several hundred thousand, which not everyone could afford. And even with money, you might not be able to enroll here. So when you see William Clark going to school in a Mercedes worth over a million, don’t be surprised, because there are countless luxury cars dropping off students at Mingzhu Academy. Here, being chauffeured is normal; not being chauffeured would be abnormal.
The academy was divided into middle and high school sections, with nearly two thousand students in total. The principal and vice principal were both senior academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and many teachers were renowned educators and scholars both at home and abroad. The school was originally built with donations from four board members, all business tycoons. Three of the board members’ descendants studied in the high school section, acting high and mighty, not even respecting the teachers. If not for the absence of one, they’d be a detestable copy of F4. The biggest board member was William Clark’s grandfather, Edward Clark, but apart from a few principals, no one else knew this. The Ye family wanted William Clark to have an ordinary student life.
School is a microcosm of society, and Edward Clark didn’t want his only precious grandson to pick up bad habits from society. For this reason, he hoped William Clark would study quietly and keep a low profile at school.
Classmates only knew William Clark as the son of the city’s deputy mayor, unaware of his powerful background. Aside from a few parents in the know warning their children not to mess with William Clark, the newly enrolled William Clark didn’t cause much of a stir in the middle school section.
However, when people found out he had a sister who was named the school beauty of the middle school section as soon as she enrolled, it did cause quite a commotion. The number of people trying to get close to him and call him “brother” grew exponentially, but they all ended up going home with bruised faces to complain, only to get scolded or beaten again. As a result, they both hated and feared the always nonchalant William Clark, and would avoid him whenever they saw him. He had become a little tyrant in the grade.
Rumor had it that some fool once called a gang to ambush William Clark and Ethan Murray on their way home from school. Two minutes later, they were all beaten half to death by men in black and thrown into jail like dead dogs. Since then, no one in the middle school section dared to have any bad ideas about Ethan Murray.
As for the even more chaotic high school section, who knows.
William Clark mischievously stroked Ethan Murray’s soft little hand, leaned over, and whispered in her ear, “When we were having breakfast earlier, did you…?” Ethan Murray lowered her head, tacitly admitting it. At that moment, she really did have that impulse. In fact, having been brought into a strange adult world by William Clark, she didn’t know how to resist him, and could only follow her instincts.
“Let’s kiss! I haven’t settled the score with you from this morning.” William Clark said with a wicked grin.
Ethan Murray hadn’t expected William Clark to make such a request. She glanced at the driver in front and said in a soft, coquettish voice, “But the driver will notice if we do it here. Wudao, can we wait until we get home after school?”
William Clark snorted coldly and turned his head away, ignoring her. But the scheming look in his eyes was something Ethan Murray would never see. Ethan Murray’s beautiful brows furrowed slightly, as if making a major decision. Finally, she slowly lay down on the back seat, closed her eyes, and waited for the kingly William Clark to claim her.
