Chapter 264 - Boy in Love (1)

I watched Yulee comfort both of the girls with the older brother's partner. Jules immediately kicked the girl's older brother out of the event. The younger sister smiled before she disappeared to follow him out.

"He said he would marry me soon since we would be graduating from university in a few months," she almost choked.

I couldn't open my mouth to tell her that she would be losing her baby soon. She already looked so terribly miserable as her makeup became a mess in front of an entire crowd. I decided to send her a message later as I wrote a note addressed to her name. Yulee had asked her which family she came from, giving me a chance to know her full name.

"Will she be okay?" I worried for her.

"I hope so," Shelly watched over her with me.

"I told you that guy is trash!" a boy came out of the crowd.

Was that boy the crying girl's partner? He came to cover her from the crowd as he took off his jacket. It was clear that everyone blamed everything on the older brother.

"You're here!" The older brother's partner reached out to hug him instead of the other girl.

"I am," he tightly hugged her in return.

"How do you know my partner?" the girl stopped crying.

"We're dating," she apologetically smiled.

I guessed they were both cheating on each other. The elegant girl already left the banquet hall quietly with her partner, pretending that they weren't a part of this mess. Eventually the crowd dispersed, choosing to give them some space. Although the gossip about them didn't decrease.

I didn't remember the last social week to be this chaotic. Since the chance of me getting injured was higher inside the mansion, Luke led me outdoors. It was a pity that this part of the mansion grounds was almost empty as everyone gathered to watch that dramatic scene.

He hesitated in leaving me alone as Yulee called for him to help them with the guests indoors. Luke shot a look at Shelly to look out for me as he reluctantly left. It wasn't like I couldn't understand. Unfortunately, I was strung inside the centre of these events without even knowing it.

"How do you know Ella?" Another person suddenly appeared in front of me.

Shelly almost screamed in surprise. By now, I was already used to people suddenly appearing from behind. It was better than accidentally travelling between dimensions.

"Who's Ella?" I was genuinely confused.

"The girl you talked to. The girl who's obsessed with her older brother," he frowned.

"How do you know her?" I stepped away from him.

"She's my partner," he stepped towards me.

"I really don't know who she is. She just came up to me to ask some things about her brother," I shot a glance at Shelly to quickly bring Luke.

Shelly nodded her head and dashed towards the banquet hall. He gave out a dangerous aura like Ella. Every step was filled with power, surrounded by pure mana. And unfortunately, all of that power as directed towards me.

"She won't talk to me. Only praising her older brother! It's been years since she directly looked at my face," he seemed upset.

"But how are you closer to Ella than her partner who she's been with for years!" His voice had a faint hint of anger.

The string of bright lights detached from its original post, wrapping around my neck. Why did every event have to have so many dangerous decorations? Didn't they know stuff like this could be used to kill someone?

How was it my fault that I was tasked to look over someone? I didn't do anything except talk to her while I tried to avoid her as much as possible. My fingers attempted to pull off the wires trying to choke me to death.

At the same time, all the decorations toppled over each other like a domino from his insane power. He couldn't possibly be a human being, could he? I didn't know there were so many powerful people in the first district. I guessed this was the difference between the a.d.u.l.ts who could tap into their full potential versus the children who were still growing into their powers.

I started to float in the air, still struggling to prevent the cable from digging into my neck. Meanwhile, all the other decorations began to float with me, creating chaos. Alex was the first to come outside as Shelly ran behind him.

"Can you understand? It wasn't my fault. I don't know why she still avoids me like a plague. I tried apologizing to her," He stared at me like he was accusing me of something.

I twisted and kicked my feet as he soon disappeared while his spell still remained. I finally found someone worse than Ella. At least Ella tried to control her emotions and got rid of the spell when she left. A few guests who noticed the scene outside the window screamed in fear. When Luke saw me getting choked to death in the air, he dashed outside.

Meanwhile, both Shelly and Alex finally unfroze from their spots. Alex immediately called for a hover car as he soon got inside with Shelly. Unfortunately, the hover car couldn't travel through all the decorations acting like a barrier from them getting closer.

My head felt faint as I remembered the fairy's words.

'Please take care of the children.'
