Arnold pushed the bedroom door open, peeked his head inside, and impatiently exclaimed, "Hey! I was wondering where you went! Why are you here? Don't you jeopardize my sister's pregnancy! Should you be here? Are you blind?" Poppy had a way out. She immediately smiled obsequiously at both of us and said, "Sorry!"
With that, she pretended to stay calm and quickly left.
Arnold didn't mince his words. "Why are you running around everywhere?"
Then he closed the bedroom door gently, and Ivanna snorted coldly. "I can't believe her!"
I stared at the furious Ivanna and couldn't help but giggle. "You're way too blunt!"
"Blunt? Let me tell you, Chloe, if you give her an inch, she'll take a mile!" Ivanna lay back down and said fiercely, "If I don't deal with her, I'll regret it!"
"I admire your straightforwardness." I shook my head and lay down, too.
But I couldn't fall asleep. I checked the clock and saw that we probably weren't far from Foswood.
Poppy had completely ruined this nap.
I turned my head to look at Ivanna, but she had quickly fallen asleep. I quietly got up and tidied myself before leaving the bedroom. After all, my classmates were still outside.
I didn't see Atlas in the hall, so I turned to the small living room. I saw Atlas chatting with a few men. Jared was there too.
"Why didn't you sleep a little longer?" Atlas asked as he looked at me gently.
"I just can't lie still. You guys go on and talk. I'll go chat with my classmates." I saw that they were drinking lightly and talking business, so I returned to the hall.
A few girls quickly got me to sit down next to them, and just as we started chatting, Ivanna came out lazily, too.
Brenton immediately leaned in curiously and said, "Ivanna, tell us, how did you manage to win Jared over?"
Ivanna glanced at him. "What's so strange about me and him? He's human too, isn't he?"
u
"He is human, but not an ordinary one!" Brenton, who had changed a lot since we had known him at school, carried on chattering as he waved his arms around. "Rumor says he's really not human! They say he has three heads, six arms and is the overlord of Foswood! But now? He doesn't look like it anymore. Now he looks like a refined scoundrel!"
His words made everyone laugh, but no one denied it.
"Why didn't you say that to him last night?" Ivanna asked.
"Come on! He's an overlord! How could I dare?" Brenton shrank back.
"Who did he bully?" Ivanna sneered disdainfully. "Do you believe in those rumors too?"
"I was moved by what happened to
the sanitation worker today. Your husband, Mr. Atlas, is such a powerhouse! He's the most
conscientious businessman net
I've ever
Brenton gave a thumbs-up.
I know someone like him.
He's really manly!"
"The sanitation worker was lucky today. It was a turning point for her. The entire family was saved. "
Everyone became excited again as soon as they started talking about Atlas's heroic deed.
