“You’re right!” The rest of their classmates nodded in agreement. Daisy heard Class F’s discussion and she looked at Janet’s petite figure. At that moment, she was so touched that she was about to cry. Her students could finally hold their heads up in future sports competitions and she wouldn’t be laughed at by other teachers after she returned to the office… Oh my, this is so wonderful.
After the basketball competition ended, The Beasts insisted on sending Janet home. The excuse they gave her was that she was so beautiful they were afraid that she might get into trouble.
Janet was rendered speechless but she couldn’t win the debate with the four boys. Having no other choice, she let them drop her off at Jackson residence. Coincidentally, Megan had returned from afternoon tea with her friends and saw Janet and the four boys standing next to her through the window. Megan instantly felt worried and thought to herself, Who are those four boys? Why haven’t I seen them before?
She deliberately asked Ms. Cook to stop the car outside the house. After the four boys left, she got out of the car and walked up to Janet, asking, “Janet, were those your classmates?” Janet had noticed Megan’s car a long time ago and she nodded in reply. After a few seconds, she added, “I met them in the countryside and they came to Star High School to study this year.”
“Oh, I see…” Megan had a sudden realization and the worry written on her face instantly vanished. She thought that Janet was being flirtatious, just like how Emily described her.
“I’ll head in now,” Janet muttered as she looked at Megan, who stood there deep in thought. After Janet returned to her bedroom, her phone kept pinging so she opened her Messenger and noticed that they were multiple friend requests. Clicking in, she saw that they were all from Class F’s students. What’s going on? These people usually avoid me and The Beasts but now they’re adding me on Messenger?
Janet immediately pressed on the ignore button without any hesitation. That night, she went to take a shower in the bathroom and when she came out, she suddenly noticed a shadow flit pass her window. Thinking it was Mason, she held onto her towel tightly before opening the window.
“Desire? Why are you here?”
“Janet, the books that you were going to put on sale today were hijacked on the road.”
Hijack? Who would hijack my books for no reason? Janet coldly asked, “Where was it hijacked?” Desire replied, “Leamore Lane in Sandfort City.”
“Leamore Lane?” Janet murmured before pressing, “Have you found out who controls that road?” Desire nodded. “Yes, I did. I heard that it’s an organization called Black Rain.”
It hadn’t been long since Janet started living in Sandfort City so naturally, she had never heard about such an organization. Since Black Rain had the courage to hijack my things, they must be a special organization. However, I’m supposed to put this batch of books on sale to give back to my fans. I’m afraid I can’t waste time and wait any longer.
“Wait for me here!” With that, Janet turned and went back into the bathroom to put on some clean, fresh clothes. Before she left, she pulled out a skull mask from her closet. Seeing this, Desire rubbed her arms in fear. Janet then jumped and leaped out the window. “I’m going to meet these people from Black Rain.”
Meanwhile in the Lowry Family Conglomerate, Mason had been really busy with work lately. There had been several thugs roaming around Sandfort City so he was busy taking care of the matter for the past few days. All of a sudden, Sean pushed the door open and stumbled in in panic. Sitting on the leather chair in the president’s office, Mason frowned and asked, “What’s wrong? What are you so flustered?” Sean swallowed and replied, “We hijacked a large truck on Leamore Lane which was filled with books! We suspect that there is something shady inside.”
The shady thing that Sean was referring to was drugs. Recently, there had been many fearless people who trafficked drugs from overseas into Sandfort City to sell, which had ruined many families. A few years ago, the government had requested Mason to use the Lowry family power to help get rid of these people and even offered him tens of billions of commission annually. No matter whether from an ordinary citizen of Sandfort City or a businessman’s perspective, the Lowry family felt obliged to accept the task.
