Soon, under the watchful and infatuated gazes of the girls, Preston made his way to the VIP lounge with
measured steps.
Marisela hesitated for a moment, but chose not to approach him.
She believed that with her charm, Preston would naturally take notice of her. As a girl, being too forward
wouldn't work in her favor.
Raven glanced at Preston, but didn't greet him. She turned to Ruth and Zach, "Let's go."
There were too many girls outside taking pictures of Preston, and for the tbeing, Raven had no interest in
being treated like a spectacle.
Ruth nodded at Raven. "Okay."

But as she spoke, she couldn't help but sigh inwardly. The young man was truly good-looking. She would
definitely stop and take a second look if she saw him on the street.
Raven glanced at Ruth's expression and couldn't help but smile, shaking her head. It seemed her mother was
also a visual person.
She wondered what her precious darling looked like after he was reborn. But she had a hunch it wouldn't be bad.
As for her face... whenever she wished, she could effortlessly restore it to the one that had once captivated and
overturned all living beings in her previous life.
It was just that her face in her previous life had brought her too much trouble.
Although she wasn't afraid of trouble, she certainly didn't enjoy it.
She was still willing to directly avoid many troubles that could be avoided.
Not far away, Marisela saw Raven and the others enter the waiting room. After a moment of hesitation, she
decided to follow them in.
Shortly after the three of them sat down, Preston walked in.
Because Marisela, Raven, and the other girl were sitting in the srow, Marisela had a clear view. From her
perspective, Preston walked straight towards her after entering the door.
As Preston got closer and closer to her, her heartbeat couldn't help but speed up.
However, just as Preston walked about three meters in front of her, Marisela smiled and was about to greet him.
But to her surprise, Preston brushed past her without even sparing her a glance.

Then, she saw Preston walk straight to the extremely ordinary-looking girl and speak in an unexpectedly gentle
and pleasant voice.
"You said toyesterday that we are destined to meet again, so do we count as destined now?" he asked.
Beside Raven, Ruth stared at the gentle smile on Preston's face, feeling a sense of disbelief washed over her.
How could there be such a gentle and handsboy in this world?
Zach was also stunned. He stared at Preston and muttered, "You're so good- looking!"
Not far away, watching Preston's face, Marisela's heart beating faster.
However, Raven looked at Preston's face, which was so close, her expression remaining completely unchanged.
She looked at Preston indifferently, her tone ambiguous as she spoke.
"Are you sure that our meeting today was a coincidence?"
Preston was slightly startled. Then, he smiled and, instead of continuing the topic, turned to Ruth.

"Hello, Madam. My nis Preston, and | am Raven's future classmate," said Preston to Ruth.
Ruth was stunned for a moment, and then she hurried to greet him. "Preston, come, have a seat!"
Preston heard the words and flashed his signature gentle smile. “Alright, thank you."
He sat down next to Raven as if it were the most natural thing in the world. Then, he tilted his head slightly and
gazed at her softly.
"The university doesn't start for another ten days. You're heading to Regalhold so early, Raven," said Preston.
"Are you planning to go straight re, or will you find a place to settle down nearby first?"
Raven replied in a flat voice. "I'm going to get my mother and brother settled in first. I'll move into the dormitory
arranged by the university before school starts."
Raven knew that Regalhold University had a clear rule that all new students must live on campus for the first
year. If anyone disobeyed the rules, they would be forced to drop out of the university.
Of course, as the acting president of Regalhold University, she had the right to be special.
However, because she had been personally taught by teachers arranged by her family in her previous life and
had never experienced university life, she didn't mind giving it a try.
Preston, upon hearing Raven's words, suggested with a smile.
"My family happens to have a vacant villa in the heart of Regalhold, very close to the University. You can settle
your mother and brother there. It would be convenient for you to visit them or for them to cto the University
to see you." Upon hearing Preston's words, Ruth couldn't help but speak up.
"That... wouldn't be appropriate, would it?"
Preston smiled. "Raven and | are the only students from Bastion in the entire university. Besides, that villa is just
sitting there unused. It would be put to good use if it could help Raven."
Ruth didn't say anything, but just turned to look at Raven, waiting for her to make a decision.
Raven glanced at Preston with indifference. She could sense that he was deliberately drawing closer, but the
familiarity she felt from him made her
instinctively believe that he meant her no harm.
She just didn't understand what his purpose was.
However, after a moment of contemplation, Raven nodded slightly. "In that case, I'll have to trouble you,
Preston."
She had to admit, Preston had piqued her limited curiosity. She would like to see what Preston was up to.
Marisela, on the other hand, watched as Raven and Preston made their way to the house in just a few minutes.
Her brows furrowed.
She hesitated for a moment, then raised her hand to take off her hat and mask, and walked straight towards
Preston,
However, at this moment, the electronic boarding announcement suddenly sounded from the boarding gate.
Hearing the announcement, Raven's group of four immediately got up and walked towards the boarding gate.
Soon, they boarded the plane and found their seats.
Since there were only two seats in a row in first class, Ruth and Zach sat
together, leaving Raven to sit next to Preston.
"| told you we were fated." After Preston sat down, he looked at Raven, who was
seated next to him, and said with a smile.

Although it wasn't a coincidence that he and Raven were on the sflight, the adjacent seats were indeed all
thanks to fate.
But just as Preston finished speaking, Marisela suddenly walked up to Raven.

"Can you switch seats with me?" she asked, her tone almost commanding. Raven turned her head slightly to look
at her, and said in a flat voice that did not allow for any discussion, "No."
Marisela frowned, her expression tinged with disdain. She had rarely been rejected in her life, and the audacity
of this lowly bumpkin to turn her down infuriated her.
However, despite her anger, seeing a few fans in the first-class cabin looking over, she still retained a sliver of
reason.
With that, she took a deep breath, struggling to calm her turbulent emotions, and then fixed her eyes on Raven.
"I'll offer you three thousand for this seat. How about this?"
Raven looked at her as if she were an idiot. "Do you think | would be short of your three thousand dollars?"
Marisela, upon hearing this, glanced at the clothes that Raven had just changed into today, the ones Ruth had
prepared for her, and a flicker of disdain flashed across her eyes.
She believed Raven was clearly wearing cheap, street-stall clothes, yet still had the audacity to act rich and sit in
first class.
The thing that Marisela despised the most in her life were these kind of delusional fools who put on airs.
"Fine. Ten thousand," she commanded. "Givethe seat! | just want to switch seats with you. Ten thousand is
enough for you to buy dozens of first-
class tickets."
Listening to Marisela's aggressive voice, Raven's face also turned cold.
She fixed her gaze upon Marisela, her voice as frigid as the air around them. "I
said, I'm not short of money. Are you deaf?"
Marisela trembled under Raven's intense stare. But then, her gaze fell upon Raven's cheap clothes, and her
confidence returned.
"One hundred thousand! Even if | had money, | wouldn't be a fool. Don't push your
luck!" she said.
The moment Marisela finished speaking, the air around Raven turned icy cold.
She unhurriedly pulled a bank card from her pocket. In the next instant, she raised her hand and flicked her
wrist.
"Slap!"
The card hit Marisela's face with a crisp sound.
Meanwhile, Raven's voice rang out, cold as ice. "Here's five hundred thousand.
Get off this plane!"
