CHAPTER 40: CHAPTER 40: SCHEMING TO HOOK UP WITH HIM

Summer Sutton had no choice but to go along with him.

In the car, she couldn’t help but secretly glance at him.

Adrian Walyon, just from yesterday’s betrothal gift alone, you can tell his family background.

With such a big family background, she knew he must be very busy.

But, despite being busy, every time she went to school and went home, he’d always find time to personally pick her up and drop her off.

Sometimes, when she thought about it, Adrian Walyon seemed like a really decent guy.

They arrived at the classroom at eight o’clock sharp.

The professor hadn’t arrived yet, and just as Summer Sutton sat down, Zoe Baxter started gossiping with her.

"Summer, did you hear? Last night, a golden bachelor who all the unmarried women in Northtown were eager to marry got engaged. My high school friend’s mother even attended the engagement party last night."

"Really? Who rated him as the guy all unmarried women were eager to marry?" Summer Sutton’s focus was not on the same thing as hers.

"Why bother with that?" Zoe Baxter glared at her, leaning closer to continue the gossip, "I also heard that the female lead of the engagement party last night is really young, goes to our school, and is also at the Film Academy! Who do you think would be so lucky to marry a man like that?"

"What’s so great about marrying a man like this? With so many women fancying him, wouldn’t you be afraid he’d fool around after marriage?" Summer Sutton disagreed with her.

Zoe Baxter shook a finger, "No, no! You just don’t get it! The men from the Walyon Family are not ordinary men; it’s said that he keeps his distance from women. Since taking over Walyon Clan Group, he hasn’t been involved in any romantic scandals."

"A man who keeps his distance from women doesn’t necessarily mean he’s a good man; maybe he’s just not functioning well in certain areas?" Summer Sutton was preparing her book for class, not paying much attention to her words.

The moment the car arrived at Walyon Clan Group, Adrian Walyon inexplicably sneezed...

Zoe Baxter found chatting with Summer Sutton particularly boring; whatever she said was always met with Summer Sutton’s eccentric rebuttal.

"Summer, you, being a woman uninterested in men, better be careful you don’t end up an old maid!" Zoe Baxter sat back down, waiting quietly for the professor with a sense of defeated curiosity.

...

Summer Sutton spent the entire day at school, finishing her classes around four o’clock when Adrian Walyon called.

"I’m waiting for you outside the campus." He dropped the line without even waiting for her response before hanging up.

Summer Sutton had grown accustomed to the way he spoke, not paying much heed, and headed outside with her books.

Right outside the school gate, she ran into Gina Sutton.

Gina Sutton, having made a fool of herself yesterday, was full of anger upon seeing her.

Standing in her path, Gina Sutton blocked her way.

"How did you get acquainted with Adrian Walyon?" she asked coldly.

"None of your business." Summer Sutton tried to walk past her, but was grabbed by the wrist.

"Did you use tricks to hook up with him?" Gina Sutton’s nails dug into her flesh as she clutched her hand.

Summer Sutton found her words utterly ridiculous and, pulling her hand away, sarcastically retorted, "Second Young Miss Sutton thinks everyone is as skilled in these tactics as you are?"

Adrian Walyon was waiting outside for her, she just wanted to get out quickly.

Unexpectedly, Gina Sutton was relentless, "Who are you calling skilled in these tactics? Summer Sutton, who are you insulting? You better make yourself clear!"
