Chapter 1349 Not Even Human
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?"
In
"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?"
"Hey! You just didn't see it! Once his name is mentioned, those who have evil intentions will definitely keep their distance!" Another man said. "Do you think he's some kind of demon?" Ivanna said. "He's just a normal person. He's very peaceful."
"Yeah, he doesn't look like it. He looks very polite!" a girl said. "Not at all... like a big shot!"
Everyone understood the underlying meaning.
Poppy, who had been sitting nearby and paying close attention to the conversation, seemed particularly intrigued by the term "big shot."
"Wow! I was surprised to see these two exceptional women from our class! You have a way of captivating even the best men. I can't believe it! Looks like you made the right choice to leave Matthew!"
"I heard Matthew went to Pharica. Is that true?" Someone asked.
I shook my head slightly. "I only know he went abroad, but I don't know where."
"Why are you bringing him up?" Theo

was afraid would be embarrassed and quickly changed the subject. "After all this time, it looks like Gerby's my destiny! I'll definitely work with Beatrice in the future!
"So, you all need to do something good too. Beatrice survived a great disaster, but she'll be blessed in the future! We all admire you, Chloe! You did a great job!"
"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 I've ever seem. Brenton gave a thumbs-up. "I'm glad 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. "Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
Everyone became excited again as soon as they started talking about Atlas's heroic deed.
