At six o’clock in the evening, the Crystal Goddess Rolls-Royce pulled up to the rear entrance of Medo
Film Academy.
Despite its low-key nature, it still garnered the attention of numerous students.
“Young miss,” Jordan said with a smile, ‘I heard there’s a great coffee shop at Medo’s movie school. Let
me buy you and Ninth Miss a cup of joe.”
“Okay, you may go and say hello to Kiran.”
“I phoned her just now, but she didn’t answer. Go back in and try calling someone else later. She still
doesn’t realise we’re waiting for her at the back door.”
“Yes”
Jordan exited the car and walked through the school gate.
The moment he appeared in a suit, his tall, handsome figure drew the excited and eager gazes of
many girls.
Jordan glanced into the coffee shop and requested two cups of coffee, the female service student’s
gaze seemingly fixed on him the whole time.
Two female students, fashionably dressed in well-known brands, entered the room.
“Hey, have you heard? The female lead chose Kiran to perform in the graduation performance of the
performance department!”
Upon hearing the name of the Ninth Miss, Jordan’s pupils involuntarily contracted and he paid close
attention.
“Ugh, it’s her again. Kiran must have pulled some strings with a teacher to get this role through shady
tactics!”
“Who says it isn’t? Just now, I spotted her conversing with our school’s idol in the forest at the back.
Tsk isk, even the most promiscuous woman or canine would have to take cover… Ah!”
The two long-tongued women, suddenly transforming into screaming chickens, caused the waiter to
pale in fright!
Jordan silently poured the coffee in his hand over them.
“Are you out of your mind? Why did you douse us?!” The two girls had their makeup destroyed, and
half of their false eyelashes had dropped off.
“According to the 24th article of the law, deliberately fabricating and disseminating falsehoods is
enough to cause harm to others reputations and constitute serious misconduct. You will be subject to
imprisonment, detention, control, or deprivation of political rights for three years.
“You should be thankful that I don’t hit women,” Jordan said in a low voice, his eyebrows furrowed.
Otherwise, it would be hard for you to go out unscathed.
One of the girls was scared, but the other still argued, ‘You’re Kiran’s boyfriend? Pfft! If you’re so mad
at us, why don’t you
and check it out for yourself? We can’t talk if we don’t know what’s going on!”

In the school building’s backyard forest.
Kiran was trapped here by Ivan Zachary, the school idol.
“Ivan, I’ve already made it clear to you multiple times. I don’t have any feelings for you, and I won’t
entertain your advances.”
“I also have an appointment with someone,” Kiran said coldly. “so I’ll be leaving first.”
“Kiran, do you believe I’m not being genuine in my pursuit of you?”
Ivan raised his eyebrows, disregarding her resistance. He then produced the red box he had prepared,
opening it before her.
Inside was a Cartier watch encrusted with diamonds.
“This is a special present I chose for you. Accept it. As long as you’re my girlfriend, I can give you
anything you want a sports car, Hermes… you can even live in a villa!”
“I can not only fulfill your physical desires, but I can also meet your other needs,” he said, licking his
lips with a wicked smile.
Although Kiran was simple-minded, she could detect the lewd connotation in the man’s words, causing
her to tremble with rage and knock over the box.
Without even glancing at it, the expensive watch tumbled into the mud.
Since he was a child, Young Master Zachary had been spoiled and had never been defeated by a
woman. Never before had he been so humiliated.
The veins in his neck popped out and he abruptly seized her wrist. “Kiran! How could you destroy the
items I gave you? What kind of woman do you think you are? Why are you pretending to be something
you’re not?”
“Release me, Ivan! Let me go!” Kiran was frantic and fought with all her strength.
“Hehe… You’re trying to play hard to get, huh? Kiran, I’ve seen plenty of women like you who don’t
come from a privileged background and think they can climb the social ladder by relying on their looks.”
Ivan’s other hand was fidgeting as he clasped her waist with his other hand, cackling maniacally and
avariciously, “You don’t want your future to be dismal before you graduate, right? If you become my
woman, you won’t be a thief when you enter the entertainment industry in the future?”
“Isn’t this what you desire? Acting serious isn’t befitting for you in the least.”
As he spoke, he eagerly pressed Kiran’s slender body against the tree trunk and couldn’t wait to kiss
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmher lips!
“No… No!”
Kiran closed her eyes in horror, tears of humiliation welling up and spilling out.
“Ah!”
A piercing scream erupted!
Kiran opened her eyes slowly, tears streaming down her face.
Someone’s tall and familiar figure, blurred in her vision, heaved Ivan over his shoulder and crashed
Ivan to the ground.
This was not sufficient!
Jordan grabbed Ivan’s collar and repeatedly punched his face.
“Don’t… Don’t hit him!”
Kiran, scared to death, rushed forward and embraced Jordan, who was full of hostility.
“You… you dare to strike me… Are you aware of who I am?!”
Ivan coughed up a mouthful of blood. Despite being beaten to a pulp, he still managed to raise his
head and yell, ‘My dad’s the CEO of Zac Group, Kody Zachary. If you’ve got the guts, then say your
name. Zac Group will make you pay!”
“My name is Jordan, from Sea Gate.”
Jordan’s deep, angry voice trembled as he removed his suit and wrapped it around Kiran’s quivering
body.
Feeling her trembling like a frightened bird, tears streaming down her face, his heart ached and he
couldn’t help but pull her into his embrace.
Kiran felt the warmth of the breath of the person she liked, her heart beating fast and softly against his
chest.
Jordan’s hug seemed to erase all the grievances she had just endured.
“Listen up, you mutt! You need to understand that Kiran is not someone you can push around. If you
lay a finger on her, not even Kody Zachary can save you!”
Ivan fled in terror.
Kiran went to the bathroom to freshen up. Upon emerging, Jordan was anxiously leaning against the
wall, awaiting her.
“Brother Jordan…”
“Ninth Miss.” Jordan said, beaming.
Once again, he was courteous and proper.
Kiran lowered her long eyelashes, her heart aching. She pursed her lips and walked up to him, taking
off his wide suit and returning ft to him. “Thanks, Brother Jordan,” she said, “this one’s yours…”
“Ninth Miss, this is a serious issue. When I return, I will inform First Miss and let her decide.” Jordan’s
face was grave, his jaw
clenched.
“No, I implore you, Big Brother Jordan. Please don’t tell Big Sister!”
Ktran’s eyes, clear as day, brimmed with panic. She suddenly clutched his arm. “Big Sister will make a
huge scene if she intervenes. It’ll get out of controll Not only will it be a problem for Big Sister, but
Father and Mother will be concerned for
me too!”
“But that animal wants to harass you! You just swallow your rage like this?!” Jordan was livid, his eyes
still faintly crimson..
“You’ve already given him a lesson, so he shouldn’t bully me any longer.”
Although Kiran was scared in her heart, she was more scared of her family’s worry, so she skirted the
issue and said, “I’ll be graduating soon, so there won’t be any overlap, what can he do to me?”
“And behind me stands the Thorp Group.”
Jordan choked back his words. As Kiran sadly lowered her gaze, her heart sank. “Brother Jordan,” she
said softly, “I have my reasons for doing this. Please, don’t ask me any more.”
