[Chapter 28]

Alex drove the car back to school with Rachael. Rachael was going to the New York School of Hygiene near the Preston University campus.

The sky had already grown dark, and the street lamps on both sides of the road had lit up. There was a unique mood in the car.

"I didn't expect this car to be yours," Rachael said with a faint smile. The flashing lights made her face glow.

"What? You don't like it?" Alex asked.

Hearing Alex's words, Rachael turned her face toward the window and blushed.

"No, I just like you more," she said sweetly. Rachael recalled the first time she saw Alex, "People would bully you and scold you, but you didn't seem to take it to heart. I can see the determination in your eyes."

"And now?" Alex didn't expect Rachael to speak so openly about her thoughts.

"Since you can drive this car, it means that you are so much more powerful than Harry and the others. But you disguised yourself so well that even I couldn't see it. Those guys can't compare to you," Rachael spoke as she lowered her head slightly, intertwined her hands, and looked slightly disappointed.

Alex heard the feeling of inferiority from Rachael's words.

It was no wonder she felt that way as Alex's big G was worth over one hundred and fifty thousand dollars. On the surface, it seemed like Alex's family was of much higher status than Rachael's. However, Alex's family background was much more powerful.

This was what Alex had always been worried about. The trouble his identity would cause him after it was revealed.

Rachael was a good girl. Alex cherished her as a friend.

"Rachael, you've all made a mistake. This car isn't mine. I borrowed it from someone else," Alex lied.

"You borrowed it from someone else?" Rachael blinked her large eyes in astonishment.

"I swear! This car belongs to someone else. I swear—otherwise, I'll die a horrible death!" Alex continued to lie, but he also felt quite at ease because it wasn't truly a lie. Technically, this car belonged to Lucy Smith.

"So that's what happened. You almost tricked all of us!" Rachael laughed and felt secretly delighted in her heart.

By then, Alex had already arrived at the New York School of Hygiene. Rachael said goodbye to Alex and walked off.

Alex drove the damaged car directly to the repair shop and then drove back with a loaner car. He stopped to have a meal in the cafeteria. It was almost ten o'clock at night, so Alex didn't get a chance to tell Debbie about the villa. He went back to his dorm to sleep.

The next morning, Alex was asleep when he was pulled out of bed by his roommate, Joe. He washed his face and didn't say anything as Joe dragged him to a coffee shop off-campus.

Suzan was there waiting for them. After having a drink, Suzan explained the reason she wanted to talk with Alex.

It turned out that the relationship between Rose and Zane had developed rapidly in the last two days. Suzan felt that Zane wasn't interested in Rose, so she wanted Alex to chase after Rose, or, at least, prevent Rose and Zane from getting together.

"Eh—I think you should find someone else," Alex muttered as he thought about how badly Rose treated him earlier.

"Alex—Rose was just talking nonsense. She usually has a good personality. Last semester, the school invited her to teach in a small mountain town, so Rose volunteered to live in a town in Montana for half a month before coming back," said Suzan.
