1 got into the car after saying that, with Amanda following behind me.
Soren had moved to the other side of the door to give Amanda andenough room to sit, putting some
distance between himself and Edward.
Unexpectedly, he leaned forward slightly and said, “Kennedy, do yourself a favor and don’t do anything you
might end up regretting later.”
I was shocked to hear this from Soren!
It may have sounded like friendly advice, but it could easily be mistaken for a threat!
Yet, Soren delivered it so nonchalantly and politely that it sell felt surreal to me.
Amanda was also a bit taken aback, but she turned to look atwith a pleasantly surprised expression.
| had no response to that, so | figured it was better to keep my mouth shut.
Soren’s car was so spacious that there was still plenty of room left with the three of us inside.

Besides, Amanda didn’t deliberately pushtoward Soren like his sister had.
Even so, Soren had such a commanding presence that | could still feel myself tense up. In fact, | found myself
consciously controlling my breathing around him.
As the Rolls Royce drove toward the academy’s main gate, Soren whispered, “Have you received your verdict
papers?”
| turned toward him and answered, “Yes, | just got them yesterday.”
“Is he going to appeal?”
“I'm not sure, but | won't let him.”
| spoke with such confidence that Arganda grew curious. “Why do you sound so sure? Do you have something on
him?”
Since | had already hinted at my tactics when | yelled at Edward earlier, there was no point in hiding the truth
now.
“I suppose you could say that... I've got something on his sister,” | revealed.
Soren and Amanda were both considerate enough not to pressfor more details when | didn’t offer much.
If I had to guess, Soren had probably already uncovered Edith’s embarrassing secret through his network. Yet he
chose not to dig deeper, likely out of a sense of righteousness.
After we drove out of the academy, the driver asked Amanda where she was staying to drop her off first.
A few minutes later, Jean called me.

“Are you still at the academy, Tay?” she asked.
“I just left.”
“Okay, that’s good,” she said, relieved. “I saw Edward at the entrance and was worried he might be waiting to
ambush you, it’s
but now that you've already left.”

| replied calmly, “He did ambush me, but I ignored him.”
“Hmph! It's true that a leopard never changes its spots... Why is he still so clingy when you two have already
received your verdict papers?”

“Leave him be. Nothing he does will change my mind anyway,” | replied.
“He's really a psycho..” Jean commented. “I think you're going to have a hard tdealing with him even after
ending this charade.)
Since | was seated between Amanda and Soren, all they had to do was focus a little, and they would've easily
overheard my conversation with Jean, given how quiet the car was
I didn’t mind if Amanda heard it, but...
“In any case, | just want to get this ordeal over with.” Afraid Jean might want to delve deeper into the topic, |
quickly added, “It's getting late. You should head htoo.”
“Okay, I'm going to head off then.”
The car fell into a heavy silence after | hung up, making the atmosphere feel a bit awkward.
My mind raced, not knowing what topic to bring up next. Thus, | sighed and leaned back to relax.
Amanda noticed and tried to comfort me. “Don’t stress yourself out over him. It's not worth it. You should call the
police the next the bothers you. No need to go soft on him.”
| forced a weak smile. “I'll be fine, thanks.”
About 20 minutes later, we arrived at Amanda’s hotel.
