Chapter 1469 Born Evil
After hearing that Solomon would be coming over to her school, Vivian, who had been anxious for the past few days, breathed a sigh of relief. That afternoon, she finally found her appetite to have lunch with Kurt.
“Is your Uncle Solomon really coming over? Does that mean he’ll be able to solve the problem for you?” inquired Vivian’s classmate, Elaine, when she heard about the news.
Chowing down on her drumstick, Vivian nodded in response to her classmate.
“Of course! There’s nothing he can’t do. As soon as he gets here, he’ll take care of everything. You’ll see,” promised Vivian with much confidence as she continued to make short work of her drumstick.
After that, Elaine sat down calmly beside the two, but there was a glimmer of nervousness in her eyes.
Even though Kurt did not say a word, he would glance at Elaine from time to time as they had their lunch.
“That’s good to know. You have no idea how relieved I am to hear that. Hey, I’m going to head to class first, so see you guys later, okay? Don’t be late!” reminded Elaine before leaving the two.
“We won’t.” Knowing that Solomon would not let her down, Vivian returned to her carefree self.
After finishing her drumstick, the girl got up and was ready to go to class. “Aren’t you going to class too, Kurt?”
“I’ll be there in a minute.” answered the boy in his usual cold tone. Anybody who had met him in the past two months knew that he was not one for words. Vivian was the only one who could get Kurt to say three or more words at a time.
After watching the girl hurried away, Kurt jumped to his feet and covered his head with his hoodie. With both hands in the pockets, the boy went away in another direction.
Ten minutes later, an Astorian girl stood in front of a few local students in the school’s backyard. “You’d better come clean with the school. Vivian’s uncle is coming over soon, and you don’t want to mess with him. I’m telling you. He’s going to find out the truth, so there’s no way you can get away scot-free.”
That Astorian girl was Elaine, the student who just had lunch with Vivian and Kurt.
Even though Elaine warned the local students in all seriousness, they laughed at her and ridiculed her for it.
“Is he now? I guess we’ll have to wait for him to get here to find out. Vivian stole the limelight from my girlfriend, Helena, so I’m going to get her expelled no matter what. There’s nothing you can do to change my mind.”
“Hey, you’re an accomplice, Elaine. You saw us swap Vivian’s work, yet you decided not to say anything about it to her because you wanted to save your own skin, remember? Some friend you are. And now you’re asking us to come clean? What a joke!”
With that, the local students cackled even louder at Elaine.
Even though she wanted to help Vivian, Elaine could not get another word out of her mouth. As if the bullies’ words had grabbed her by the neck, Elaine’s face started to turn as pale as a sheet.
For some reason, Elaine turned her bleached face around and noticed that a boy in a blue hoodie was standing not too far away from her.
The boy did nothing but stare at Elaine with his hands in the pockets, but it was enough to send chills down her spine. To Elaine, the icy-cold stare felt like a cut by a razor-sharp dagger.
Although the boy was only ten, he had facial features that could match a supermodel. Those obsidian eyes of his seemed like they could pierce through anything.
“Kurt?” blurted out Elaine shakily, but the boy had already turned his back on her by then. It did not matter that Kurt was only a ten-year-old kid; the aura emanating from him was enough to make anyone shiver.
“Kurt, it wasn’t my idea! I just didn’t want to offend the local students. Please, you have to believe me!” shouted Elaine as she hurriedly caught up to the boy.
She then reached for Kurt’s arm to beg for forgiveness, but before she could touch him, the boy withdrew his arm. As if he was looking at an annoying fly, Kurt sneered at the girl.
Seeing how Kurt was unwilling to listen to her, Elaine decided to stand before him. “Please, Kurt! I’m begging you! I know I was wrong, so I promise you that I’ll come clean. I’ll tell the teachers everything and make sure Vivian doesn’t get expelled.”
It was only after Elaine made the promise that Kurt stopped to listen.
At that moment, Kurt turned his head sideways to glance at the pitiful young girl. Even though the boy looked even more beautiful under the golden sunlight, his eyes remained chilly.
He only had one word to say to the kneeling girl. “Scram!”
