Chapter 358 Chapter 358 At this hour, Gerard is still out there, thinking about fun and games. No wonder he can't hold a candle to Darleen. He's a lost cause! "Go ahead," Jsaid tenderly, nodding her approval.
"Meow." A cat suddenly darted out from a corner, following Gerard's steps.
"Go back," Gerard stopped and turned.

Gerard frowned slightly, bent down with a look of disgust, and picked up Simba to take him outside.
The butler, witnessing this scene, couldn't help but curl his lips into a smile. Young Master Gerard, cold on the outside, warm on the inside. Though he always talked about getting rid of that cat, it was clear he had a soft spot for it.
Edna brought out a nourishing soup for Jwith a smile.
Jlooked apologetically at Edna, "Edna, Gerry's got the wrong idea about you. Don't hold it against him." "Janet, listen to you talk. I've always treated Gerry as my own. How could I possibly be mad at him?" Edna replied, then added, "Besides, that was my responsibility..." At this, Edna's face showed a hint of guilt.
"It's not your fault!" Jreassured her, patting her hand. "You meant well! Don't you ever say that again!" Edna then took out a beautifully wrapped gift box, "Oh Janet, the SATS are just around the corner. I've prepared this gift specially for Gerry. You know he's not very fond of me, so please, could you give this to him? And don't tell him it's from me." "You've gone through a lot, Edna." "It's nothing," Edna replied with a smile.
"By the way, why didn't Darleen cwith you?" Jasked.
Edna chuckled, "Well, with the SATS coming up, you know she's not as sharp as Gerry. They say the early bird catches the worm. She wants to get into a good college, so she's hitting the books at home." "Who says Darleen isn't sharp? She couldn't top her class if she wasn't," Jcountered. "As for Gerry, the SATS are nearly upon us, and I haven't seen him crack open a book once! Ah, that boy!" Jsighed. The saying goes, ignorance is bliss. She thought Gerard had been doing alright recently, but hearing Edna mention Darleen studying at hmade Juneasy. With the SATS looming, Darleen was diligently studying, while Gerard was out playing soccer! Edna smiled, "Gerry's naturally bright. Even without studying, he'll score well." "That boy may be bright, but he's not focused on his studies," Jcontinued. "He'll never outdo Darleen!" Of course, Gerard couldn't match up to Darleen! Edna inwardly scoffed, though her face remained expressionless.

"Janet, education isn't the only path to success anymore. Besides, Gerry is set to take over Jonah's position in the future. His academic credentials won't matter much, so you really don't need to worry." Jfelt even more uneasy. "Jonah was a top student back in his day, always coming first in his class. I wonder who this boy takes after!"
Who else could it be? Edna narrowed her eyes. He must have taken after Carole! If Gerard had been her and Jonah's child, things would be different. Such a pity. Gerard carried the blood of lesser folk. At that moment, Jalso thought of Carole and waved her hand dismissively, "Let's drop it. It only adds to my worries."
Today is June 6th. The day before the SATS. The atmosphere in class had clearly shifted. Everyone was m frantically exchangingContact Ve information, taking group photos, and writing messages of good luck...
