Chapter 814: Chapter 798: Little Detective Solving the Case (28)

"Hey, hey! Why are you being so fierce? Who gave you the right to yell at him!"

Seeing Shirley Lockwood defend Evan Grayson so fiercely, Nathan Clayton’s anger flared even higher. But when his fury reached a certain point, he actually started to laugh—a surprisingly charming laugh. "Heh, interesting. What does it matter to you if I yell at him?"

"Of course it matters! From today onward, Evan belongs to me, Shirley Lockwood! He is under my protection! Whoever dares to bully him, I’ll beat them to a pulp!"

He was her person; other than her, no one else was allowed to bully him! Whoever dared to bully him was making an enemy out of her.

Nathan clenched his fists in anger, glaring coldly at Shirley. Had their relationship actually progressed to this point after just one fight? If he had known, he should have fought this girl too, just to let her know who the best fighter around here really was.

However, before Nathan could speak, Evan was so shocked that he abruptly stood up as well. "Ahem, Shirley, since when am I your person? You can’t just spout nonsense like that."

With so many people watching, how was he supposed to show his face around here if word of this got out?

Hearing this, Shirley fiercely turned her head and glared at Evan. "Shut up! You have no say in this."

Couldn’t he see she was helping him? He really didn’t know what was good for him. What a heartless ingrate!

Scolded by her angry shout, Evan sat back down in exasperation. Well, he was ruined. His lifelong reputation was going to be completely destroyed by this cousin of his.

After the minor interlude with Nathan in the afternoon, Shirley and Evan stopped arguing. Though they were no longer fighting, they were still giving each other the silent treatment out of spite.

Even when school ended, Evan simply packed up his textbooks quickly, put on his backpack, and walked out of the classroom alone. Seeing that he left without waiting for her, Shirley pouted in dissatisfaction and muttered, "Stingy." Then, she also put on her backpack and headed outside.

When Nathan saw Shirley leave, he grabbed his backpack from his desk and jogged after her.

Meanwhile, as she walked out of the classroom, Shirley was wondering how she could get Evan to take her with him. Suddenly, an angry voice rang out from behind her. "You brat, stop right there!"

Shirley rolled her eyes and turned around with a nonchalant expression. Seeing that it was the reckless Nathan, she gave him a careless glance and asked coldly, "Do you need something?"

"Brat, what is your relationship with Evan!"

If getting into a fight really turned people into boyfriend and girlfriend, then he wouldn’t mind bullying a little girl.

Shirley blinked slyly and asked with a smile, "You want to know?"

"Yeah..." Nathan nodded, his cheeks turning an unnatural shade of red.

Was this brat trying to flirt with him? She really was quite cute...

"You want to know, but I’m just not going to tell you. Hmph, stay mad." After saying that, Shirley made a funny face, stuck her tongue out at him, and quickly turned to leave.

Nathan watched the girl quickly run away from him. Furious, he pointed at her and shouted, "Hey! You brat, stop right there!"

Once she was out of the school gates, Shirley began scanning the crowd for Evan’s figure. She hoped he hadn’t left yet, or else she would have no way to go find her mother today.

When Nathan came out, he saw that brat not far away. She was hiding behind a tree, sneaking peeks and acting suspiciously, as if she were looking for someone. He frowned. Just as he was about to go over to her, two tall figures blocked his path. "Young Master, it’s time for us to go home."

"Get out of the way!" Nathan looked up in displeasure, glaring at the two men blocking his path.

"Young Master, Mrs. Clayton said that you are not allowed to run off after school anymore. Please, don’t make things difficult for us."

Through the gap between the two men, Nathan coincidentally spotted Shirley preparing to stop a car. And if he wasn’t mistaken, the car she was trying to stop belonged to the Grayson family!

So, in a rare moment of compromise, he looked at the two men and said, "It’s fine if you want me to go home obediently. Just step aside first. Let me go say a few words to my classmate, and then I’ll leave with you."

The two men exchanged a glance, unable to make up their minds. They didn’t know if they should trust their young master. After all, he had been a troublemaker since he was a child, causing chaos the second they took their eyes off him.

"Hurry up and move! Otherwise, I won’t go home with you today no matter what!" Seeing the car door open to reveal Evan’s punchable face, Nathan looked up and shouted angrily.

"Alright, but you must keep your word, Young Master..." Threatened by him, they didn’t dare force the boy home and could only nod in agreement.

Having gotten the answer he wanted, Nathan casually tossed his backpack aside and sprinted in Shirley’s direction.

At this moment, Shirley was arguing with Evan over a disagreement. She never expected Nathan to suddenly dash out, grab her small arm, and pull her back. "Shirley Lockwood, I won’t allow you to get in his car!"

"Who do you think you are? What gives you the right to stop me!" Shirley turned around and scolded him angrily. However, upon seeing Nathan’s face, she furiously shook off his hand with all her might. "Nathan Clayton, whose car I get into is none of your business!"

In a rare display of restraint, Nathan suppressed his anger and shamelessly insisted, "If you want to go home, I can take you home. But I absolutely won’t allow you to get into his car."

At worst, he’d just have to get into a fight with this brat...
