17. Beating up Reynard Sall

While Reynard was still feeling happy because he thought that he managed to coax Ann with food, Ann was thinking about something else. If she was not wrong, Imperial Compel Restaurant was one of the few most famous area in Compel City.

Since it belonged to Sall Family, she should be able to use the restaurant to borrow another account.

Sall Family head should have higher authority compared to Davis Family, right?

Thus, the school passed by quietly with everyone having their mind on completely different matter.

"Sister, do you want to go home together?" Celeste asked in soft tone. Last night, she was berated by her mother for not paying close attention to Ann and allowed her to buy some tacky items. Even though she herself hadn't seen them for herself, she knew that it would be hard for them to accept her.

It was just…

Celeste didn't really care. She didn't really care about Davis Family reputation, but she knew that her mothed would be enraged.

'How stupid.'

Of course, she would not show it on her face as she continued to smile like usual. "Sister?"

"I'm not going home yet." Ann looked at Celeste as her lips curled up to form a faint smile. She could see the other students were all crowding like chicks that were following the mother hen. It was a funny scene.

"Why?" Celeste asked with caring tone.

Ann pointed at Reynard. "I promised to play with him."

Upon seeing Reynard, Celeste's face turned blue. She knew very well that this annoying young man was not someone she could ever possibly try to contend. He was very annoying and brash. With his family background also better than her, she could never try to win against him.

Not to mention, all the cheap tricks she used were all laid bare in front of him. It was to the point that she would never be able to fare against Sall Family.

"This…"

"What? Do you think I want to kidnap her?" Reynard immediately turned harsh. He didn't really care about Celeste before and had no intention of caring about her. The only reason why he talked to her was because Ann was her stepsister.

"Don't think that the Sall Family has no integrity." Like Davis Family.

Even though Reynard was honestly tempted to say those words out loud, he knew that he would be beaten up senseless by his father if he were to say it. Thus, he only snorted at the end of his sentence.

Celeste's face turned dark, but she quickly lowered her head and looked like she was going to cry. Her shoulder shook, showing dainty and pitiful appearance.

Seeing that, Donna was on the verge of exploding, her eyes turned red. She could see how pitiful and kind Celeste looked and felt that her heart ached. Someone who was so kind hearted like Celeste should have better sibling and not someone like Ann.

"You, why are you not saying anything? You should have defended your sister!" Donna hissed.

She was afraid of Reynard but not towards Ann. It was precisely because of this that she ended up lashing against Ann but not Reynard.

Ann arched her eyebrows.

"Oh."

Hearing the careless reply, Donna was on the verge of exploding, but Celeste held her hand tightly. She gave her best friend a smile so that she would not lash out. Yet the smile seemed so tragic with her teary eyes.

Donna stared at Celeste in indignation. "Princess Celeste, she's so rude to you. Why are you not saying anything?"

"Sister has just arrived in Davis Family. She's not used to how we're interacted with each other yet." Celeste lowered her eyes, which had turned red as water droplets formed at the corner of her eyes. To think that this ignorant brat really followed her words like that.

Reynard rolled his eyes. "I don't have any time for this family drama. Come on, Ann. They can play this white lotus drama all day if they want, but my time is precious."

Hearing the words from Reynard, both Donna and Celeste's face turned pale. Celeste was on the verge of rushing over to Reynard in order to seek explanation from him. However, she didn't dare to do that.

On the other hand, Donna was terrified that Sall Family would try to make a move against her family. Her family background was not as good as Celeste and certainly wouldn't be able to handle Sall Family anger.

It was so frustrating.

Ann hummed softly.

Right, she still wanted to beat up Reynard. She shouldn't forget her initial goal when she agreed to his request.
