Chapter 813: Chapter 798: Little Detective Solving Cases (28)

Archie Lockwood’s eyes darkened, a cold sneer crossing his mind.

This woman was quite smart. Compared to Eleanor Bishop, she was rather obedient.

At this thought, Archie furrowed his brows. He wondered why he was thinking about that woman again.

He picked up his phone from the desk and turned his cold gaze toward the woman sitting on the sofa. "Let’s go."

"Ah? Archie, are you not busy anymore?" Shannon Vance asked, both surprised and flattered.

"It was inconsiderate of me. Since I, Mr. Lockwood, am the one who invited Miss Vance to dinner, let’s go." As he spoke, Archie lifted his arm.

Seeing this, Shannon immediately broke into a bright smile and nodded. "Okay." She stood up, walked over to his side, and happily slipped her arm through his.

Looking at the woman beside him smiling so happily, Archie found it exceptionally ironic.

St. Azure Academy.

Because Shirley Lockwood and Evan Grayson had gotten into a fight that morning, the classroom erupted into a commotion that afternoon when the students saw the two of them walking in together.

Shirley glanced at the remarkably calm boy beside her, curled her lip, and warned him with a cold harrumph. "Hey, Evan, you must keep our relationship a secret. I forbid you from telling anyone else."

"Heh, don’t worry. I don’t want anyone to know about our relationship either. If you aren’t embarrassed, I certainly am."

"Evan Grayson, don’t go too far!"

"Shirley Lockwood, don’t push your luck either!" As a man, he wouldn’t lower himself to bicker with her. But that didn’t mean he had to constantly back down!

"Hey, look, it seems like those two are arguing again."

"Yeah, do you think they’re going to fight again?"

Listening to the chatter around him, Nathan Clayton’s expression darkened. In his eyes, even though the two of them were still glaring at each other like mortal enemies, it was obvious that their relationship had somehow grown closer. He stood up, kicked away a chair blocking his path, and walked over to Shirley’s desk.

The girls in the class couldn’t help but gasp collectively when they saw Nathan approach her. Why? Because Nathan was entirely different from Evan. Evan was a wealthy, handsome, young genius! Nathan, on the other hand, was a wealthy, handsome, yet thuggish slacker of a young master! Furthermore, he had an incredibly terrible temper. Although he was only nine years old, his fighting skills were terrifying. Rumor had it that when he was in the first grade, a fifth grader tried to mug him, but Nathan beat the older boy until he cried for his parents. He became famous at the academy from then on, and ever since, he had been thriving, with a massive following of lackeys from both the upper and lower grades trailing behind him.

Alright, that was getting off-topic.

Back to Nathan. He walked straight up to Shirley’s desk, flashed a thuggish smile, and asked, "Hey, girl, did this punk bully you?"

Hearing this, Shirley furrowed her brows. She looked up in displeasure at the boy standing before her. "Who are you?" The type of people she hated the most were busybodies. Obviously, even though this boy’s looks were exactly her type, he was instantly categorized into the group of people she despised.

Nathan’s handsome brows knitted together in displeasure. "You don’t even know who I am?" This girl was truly infuriating. After all, his reputation at the academy was on par with Evan’s! It was practically a tie!

Shirley looked at Nathan as if he were an idiot. "Why should I care who you are? Go stand somewhere else; don’t get in the way here."

"..." Nathan blushed furiously from the retort, his eyes locked onto Shirley without blinking. This little girl had some serious nerve! It was one thing for her not to know who he was, but to actually tell him to go stand somewhere else!

"Heh..." Seeing Nathan being put in his place, Evan couldn’t hold back a low chuckle. Although he wasn’t very familiar with Nathan, he had certainly heard of the boy’s reputation. He hadn’t expected his young cousin to be so bold as to speak to Nathan like that.

Nathan, who was already on the verge of explosive rage, slammed his hands on the desk and jumped up the moment he saw Evan laughing at him. "Evan Grayson, what the fuck are you laughing at? Is it that funny?"

"COUGH, COUGH..." Evan felt a bit flustered by Nathan’s deafening roar. He covered his mouth and coughed lightly twice. Just as he looked up, prepared to talk some sense into Nathan, Shirley suddenly slammed her hands on the desk and stood up beside him, glaring furiously at the other boy.
