After returning home, Sasha was happily cooking at home.
"Jennifer's cousin brother is that powerful?" Sasha's brother Authur asked with an amused look.
"Yes. He is the Director of that company." Sasha then served the soup in a bowl, making her slowly turn her body to place it on the table.
Authur nodded his eyes while his eyes settled on the plate of stir-fried vegetables that were in the middle of the table.
"There's only a little bit of vegetables at home. As I don't expect that you would come home, I prepared this much. Let's eat tomorrow outside." Sasha said.
Authur gets the spoon from her as he took the spoonful of vegetables his sister had prepared for him.
"Sasha, What about I go to school from here?" Authur bit on his spoon.
"Why? Did you have a problem in your boarding house?" Sasha put the bowl down, her spoon at the side.
"No... " Authur replied with that, he rested his gaze thoughtfully on her.
"If not, don't bring up that again," Sasha said, scooping up a spoonful of vegetables and putting it into her mouth.
Authur sigh as he frustratingly ran his hand through his hair, disheveling it. "Sasha, I am not a child. I can support myself". Authur felt desperate and helpless.
"How? Dropped out of school?" Sasha chided him.
"I can do some part-time jobs..... "
"Stop it. Authur!" Sasha cut him off impatiently. "You are in your final year. Just focus on the study". Sasha looked at him with a sombre expression.
Without any word Authur then drank the bowl of soup in one go instead, leaving no drop behind as he put the bowl back down on the table.
When they were young, they also had the kind of life where she did not have to worry about food and clothing. However, one day, their beautiful life come crashing down when his father bought a mistress. The mistress also brought along her stepsister, Ava, who was a few years older than her.
Sasha's parents were divorced, and a few years later her mother died in an accident. Her younger brother was in school, and Sasha was working outside to support his brother.

Shore Mansion...
"Dude, what are you doing here?" Kelvin asked when he saw a man with sharp looks approach them.
"Well... Is there any rule that I can't be here?" James gave a weird expression.
Raising her eyebrows, Jennifer pursed her lips. "Are you still not over that grumpy Melissa?".
Sitting beside Kelvin, James snatched the wine bottle from his hands. "I can't help it. She has a crush on me."
"Mr James. that's not funny". Kelvin scowled at him. Jennifer lightly smacked James's arm. "Stop! You guys giving me a headache".
"Master...!" Kelvin widened his eyes in shock when he saw the most unexpected person.
"Hey, Master! Haven't seen you around lately." James said.
Placing the glass on the table, Jennifer asked, "Kelvin, will you please move your ass a little bit and make some room for Ryan?".
"Bully!" Kelvin murmured before puffing his cheeks.
Hooking his arms around Jennifer's neck, James asked, "So, When are you going to introduce your friend?".
Slapping his hands away, Jennifer snapped, "Don't you have anything good to do?".
"Your friend... Who?" Kelvin inquired with a curious look.
"James, You lust in beauty. And if you are desperate, just go to a club and hooked up. Sasha Jones is not someone you can mess around with". Jennifer shot him a stone-cold look to warn him off.
Ryan Shore remained impassive as he shot a look at them. A sharp glint fleeted across his eyes.
James looked at Jennifer trying to sound serious. "Don't be so petty, Jennifer. I can easily make her go out with me without your help".
Kelvin raised his brow when casting his eyes over Jennifer and James. "Do you think it's that easy to make Sasha your girlfriend? You should put some effort into pursuing her, or show that you are rich".
"Sasha isn't someone you can simply disparage. She's not those girls who throw themselves at you". Jennifer raised her voice.
"Calm down! My sweet Jennifer." Kelvin chuckled. "Even though she has that pride. She will surely bow down to the guy...
"Just shut your mouth!" James snapped and suddenly gave him a kick under the table and interrupted him.
"What? I am helping you". Kelvin threw a cold look.
"You are not helping me at all". James gritted his teeth.
Massaging her forehead, Jennifer voiced her dissatisfaction. "Kelvin, Sasha is my best friend! Don't think so poorly of her!".
"Fine. This is all my fault". Kelvin stated.
"I'm sorry, I need to use the washroom." With that, James got out of the living room.
No one noticed Ryan's gaze flickered with a dangerous glint.
"Kelvin Shore. I want you to submit the report on the East project tomorrow". Ryan raised his eyelids lazily.
"Why so suddenly! Can't I submit over this weekend?" Kelvin decided to just clasp his hands and said, "Please!"
"I want tomorrow," Ryan said in finality. "Jennifer, I'm famished. Could you barbeque something for me?". With that Ryan and Jennifer stood up and walked out.
Kelvin was left scratching his head. "Eh? what have I done? Why I am feeling so uneasy? I didn't do anything wrong, did I?".
