Aaron looked at Zoie with a stunned voice, "What? Why are you giving me money?" He paused here and said, "Ricardo is not my personal belonging. He is a person. This thinking of yours is wrong."
She is weird. He loves Ace but it's not revealed. He didn't do anything which makes others feel they are in relation. Furthermore, he and Ace didn't even talk with each other in class. They are dorm mates, classmates, and friends. Staying together and being helpful to each other is very natural. So why Zoie is so anxious? What the hell is this girl even thinking?
He always had this inexplicable urge you see what was inside this female lead. She should not be talking to him at all. She should be after Ricardo, isn't she? In the original plotline this girl never once talked to Frid and plotted against Frid. And now she repeatedly tried to talk to him and when she didn't get too, she is asking how much money I want?!! Aaron can't help but look at her from different angle. She is asking the price of someone he love. This must be the most ridiculous joke that he ever heard.
His confused yet cold question was very clear. Not everyone was gone so many look at them with interest. Ace said to him, "You go ahead. It's lunchtime."
He nodded and left them alone. He could feel the confusion on her face. This B world is vague and weak. The female lead is not decisive and with just one flick can collapse her. The twins didn't follow him and stayed with Ace. The air in the room turned cold and frightening. In no time the classroom was filled with people. Students messaged each other and gathered back to the classroom.
After listening to his footsteps disappeared Ace turned cold, he didn't care about the surrounding people, "What did you just say? Money? You want to give him money?" The ridicule in his voice is conspicuous, "You think I can't give him a little money?" Zoie stood rooted her eyes cold. She never thought Ace to defend Aaron like this. Everyone thought so too. Ricardo is so rich can't he give money to Frid. Zoie made a bad move. Students thought like this, yet some were also thinking Ricardo is very cold with her. He should be gentler to ladies.
She looks at his ruthless figure and said, "You are my fiancé did you forget about it." That's right she is his fiancé, yet he is liking another person. Isn't this something to questioned to. Ace felt like laughing, "You dare to say this after all these years? Huh? It's been many years since we last saw each other. Did you call me? Did you remember me than?" He added, "Frid is in my mind for years. I stalked him from the moment he left that orphanage. To me he is not a stranger." He is the bully here and saying something like staking is nothing but paltry matter.
Zoie is worthy of being the female lead. She was only stunned for a while before recovering her calm. She didn't back away and confronted the beast-like person, "You are not compatible with him. If you didn't leave him alone then he will face severe criticism from the public. Gay marriage is not legal, and your parents will not accept this." These words perfectly infuriated Ace.
Her words are concise and reasonable. She is saying this for Ricardo's sake. Everyone thought so. But Ace doesn't, "You are telling me what to do? Hmm? You are freaking kidding with me. Why would Frid and I face criticism? Did he do something wrong? I don't know what you are saying."
Zoie pursed her lips and mocked, "You don't know what I'm saying? More likely you are ignoring my words."
Ricardo knows that he is ignoring this fact. Still, what right does the world have to criticize him? And who is she to say this? Aaron is his and this truth will remain undeniable forever. His heart filled with irritation. He walked to the podium and took the marker. While playing with it, he asked changing the topic, "How was your night with Harry last month? Was it good?"
Everyone turned their eyes to Zoie. What night? With harry? Who is Harry? Zoie looked at him stunned. Her face turned pale like blood has suck out of her. She can't even move her body. Her eyes became alert, "What are you talking about?"
Ace looked at her as if she is the worst fool left on the earth, "Is this even needed to be asked? I know everything, I stalked you. Don't feign oblivion."
She didn't acknowledge it and Ace didn't say anything else. But seeing him silent and wrath in his eyes Zoie felt compelled to say. Zoie stammered, "It's not what you see and thought! Harry is like a brother to me; he was just helping me to calm my mood."
Her these ugly disguising words made Ricardo frown in revulsion. He laughed loudly like hearing a joke, "Harry is thirty years, and he is your brother?!! I'm truly impressed with your complex relationships."
Zoie tremble, "Hear me out once, it's not what you think."
He smiled as he faced the outside window and mocked, "Oh! Is that so? I can't believe it. Seriously. You even need someone to heat your bed to calm your mood, ah?"
The classroom remained silent in shock. Only his ridiculing words ranged, "Do you know why I was known as Tyrant, but I'm not like one? It's because I can know the worst of someone and make them crawl under my feet. I don't need to use force."
Zoie collapsed on the ground. She never received humiliation, she never thought of Ricardo to say all this blatantly. How can he say something this private in front of others? She was confident to make him fall for her. But she ignored his violent nature and never assume the Young Master Lennox seriously. She made a mistake.
Ace sat at the desk. His bearing is feral. His gleaming eyes were like a miscreant. He roared at her, "Dare to say others about their situation, do you figure out why you are kneeling before me?" His voice echoed till the corridor making those listeners shiver in fright.
Zoie didn't lift her face. She didn't talk either. He said looking at her wretched state, "I'm not someone to play with. Do you know why no women could climb to my bed till now? Don't imagine it's because of you."
He looked at right into her fearful eyes, "Remember this thing. Frid is not someone you people can play with. He is not like you. Did you saw even a glimmer of greed in his eyes. Have you seen him wavered even a bit? No right."
Zoie was too stunned to even open her mouth. She did saw him confused and his eyes remained as clear as an innocent child. He was never a person who would approach anyone. It was Ricardo who approach Frid, and she misunderstood him. No, she never misunderstood him. She ignored the fact because she can't control Ricardo, yet to her Frid is different. He is at week position to reject her.
"The maid by my side sending every information to you was very loyal. I was reluctant to kill such a pawn, so I sold her back to the auction. You never received this news, right?" His eyes rolled in a dangerous manner. He remembered a woman constantly trying to scheme. That lady was very vicious and tried to sleep with the original owner. Yet she was failed. Like master like servant. Ricardo didn't kill her and waited patiently till he knew who her master is. With his vast knowledge of computer, he later knew it was Zoie. He didn't have any recollection of her at that time. He didn't even remember that he was engaged. Ace can't believe such a person would love someone as vulgar as Zoie.
Zoie yelled, "How, why did you do that?"
Ace replied facing her pale sweating look, "Huh? Why and how? I guess, no one can escape my eyes. Not even your dirty doing in Y Country." He twisted his face sideways and said to her, "Just because our name is bound up together doesn't mean I would not dare to do anything. My love would be someone pure from heart and body. You aren't that person."
He jumped down saying, "Remember to be cautious, and don't show me that face again. Stay away from Frid. You can't influence him, but I still don't want him to feel disgusted."
He ran to the cafeteria with Sera and Kent. The surrounding people spat out ridiculing words and left Zoie. She didn't stand up. Her body felt pressed down with several rocks. She sobbed without sound. Her clean reputation was crumbled with just one conversation with Ricardo. She remembered the moment she came back to see this person. How happy she was and how is her state now. If Frid was not here then would her situation be different, it wouldn't. Ricardo had always surveillance her movements in Y. She would have never obtained that love and care she yearned for. She has to meet Harry.
