Reborn to be a God of Reading

C35 – Leaving Home

When Lachlan walked out of the villa, he saw that it was actually Ryleigh who had come to pick him up.

Ryleigh had obviously dressed up specially today. Her exquisite face was flawless, and her cherry lips were emitting a pink glow. When she spoke, her lips would open and close, causing people to be unable to help but think about her.

Although she was wearing an ordinary work uniform, her clothes accentuated her curvaceous figure.

Especially the black stockings that wrapped around her calves, which made her appear deep and mysterious, causing people to be unable to help but want to explore her body.

“Let’s go.”

Lachlan’s thoughts were still on the Cacophony Method, so he did not carefully look at Ryleigh.

However, this caused Ryleigh’s mind to be in a mess, and she was even a bit disappointed.

She thought that she was quite pretty. The men she met before all opened their eyes wide and looked at her.

However, Lachlan did not pay any attention to her. Along the way, he did not say a word, and he did not even open his eyes. He had been resting with his eyes closed the entire time.

Could it be that she was so bad?

Or was it that Lachlan did not like women?

Could it be that he was gay?

Countless questions filled Ryleigh’s mind. The car finally arrived at the entrance of the villa district.

“Let’s stop here. I’ll take the bus to school.”

Lachlan revealed a smile. “Thank you for today.”

Lachlan was a supreme card client, a high and mighty existence. He actually thanked her.

“You’re welcome, Mr. Yilmaz. If you need anything, just let me know.”

“En, goodbye!”

Lachlan waved goodbye and walked alone onto the bus.

Ryleigh, who was in a bad mood, suddenly smiled. Lachlan actually smiled at her. He was so handsome!

She thought, Mr. Yilmaz’s skin is really good, as tender as a baby’s. He is really an exquisite man.

Ah! What was she thinking? Mr. Yilmaz is a rich man. How could she be worthy of him?

Lachlan had already arrived at the school. Of course, he did not know that his unintentional actions had disrupted the heart of a young girl.

As soon as Lachlan entered the classroom, countless gazes were directed at him.

Lachlan walked to his seat in puzzlement. What was going on?

Why was his attention so high?

“Martin, let me ask you something. Did the bankruptcy of the Hart family have anything to do with you?”

Terry asked in a low voice, but his eyes were filled with anticipation.

Lachlan suddenly realized what was going on.

It turned out that everyone thought that Lachlan was the one who caused the bankruptcy of the Hart family.

However, this was all their speculation. Lachlan would definitely not admit to the truth, because all the students in the class were afraid of Julius.

If Lachlan admitted to this matter, there would be no friendship between him and the others.

Lachlan shook his head and said, “I don’t even know about this.”

Fat Ballard heaved a sigh of relief. “I said it was a coincidence! They all thought that you were the one who did it secretly. After all, the time when the Huang family went bankrupt was too close to the time when Julius offended you.”

“How could I have the ability to do that?”

“That’s true.”

Fat Ballard nodded. “Martin, you might not understand the details! Do you know about the Windsor Corporation? The Windsor Corporation is the investor of the Huang family. It used the Thunderbolt to take back the investment, causing the Huang family’s capital chain to be severely broken.”

“Originally, with the status of the Hart family, the Hart family could have survived the crisis. However, the Windsor Corporation had also brought out several crimes of the Hart family, such as corruption, tax evasion, and so on. All the shareholders and investors had withdrawn their funds at the same time.”

“The Hart family was unable to repay the debt, so they announced bankruptcy and used their property to pay the debt. The Hart family was completely finished.”

Hearing Fat Ballard’s explanation, Lachlan could not help but be speechless.

Alyssa’s power was truly great. The huge Hart family was actually unable to survive for two days in her hands.

It seemed that he had to treat Alyssa to a meal. He had received such a great favor from Alyssa, so he could not let her down.

Many people were listening to the story with great interest. After all, this was the big news of the entire city.

Only Talia, who was standing at the side, had a pale face and felt a lingering fear.

Although Lachlan did not admit that he had destroyed the Hart family, she knew that this matter must have something to do with Lachlan.

Lachlan had the Windsor family’s Supreme Card. Who would believe that he had nothing to do with the Windsor family?

After thinking for a while, Talia took out the breakfast that she had prepared meticulously from her desk.

“Lachlan, you must not have eaten breakfast yet, right? This is something I specially prepared for you.”

Lachlan was startled.

What did Talia mean by that?

But, after thinking about it, he knew that Talia wanted to test whether he had forgiven her or not.

Lachlan glanced at the breakfast. It was actually a hearty lunchbox. The first thing he saw was a hearty fried egg.

Lachlan smiled bitterly. How could he accept this lunchbox?

However, Lachlan did not want to ruin the friendship between him and Talia, so he accepted the lunchbox.

“Thank you! Talia, but you will be in trouble if you prepare such a delicate breakfast, right? In the future, you don’t have to prepare breakfast anymore.”

“En, I got it!”

Talia smiled. Her smile had charmed countless otaku boys.

Countless male classmates exclaimed in surprise.

Many of them even swore to challenge Lachlan.

After all, there were only two goddesses in the class. Julius was Lachlan’s desk mate, so it was normal for her to have a good relationship with Lachlan.

However, Talia was very far away from Lachlan. Why would she make a hearty lunchbox for him?

Lachlan should leave some opportunities for other classmates to be favored by the two goddesses.

“Lachlan, I want to challenge you!”

At this moment, a male classmate stood up and shouted.

Fat Ballard sneered, “What are you challenging Lachlan for? Is it for his studies? His grades are the best in the whole city. Fighting? Let me tell you, when I wrestled with Lachlan, I didn’t even last three seconds.”

“With your small physique, do you want to try it with me?”

The student instantly became dispirited.

He thought about it carefully and realized that he was actually inferior to Lachlan.

He stood up angrily and said, “No, there is one thing that Lachlan will never be able to catch up to me!”

“What?”

Everyone was curious.

“Thick-skinned!”

His originally righteous face instantly wore a flattering smile. “Martin, let me follow you. As long as you give me a mouthful of soup, it will be enough.”

Everyone burst into laughter.

Lachlan shook his head with a smile, but he felt incomparably emotional in his heart.

This friendship between high school classmates was really good. He had missed it before, but now he had finally made up for it.

Only when the bell rang did everyone disperse and return to their respective seats.

At this time, Julius finally arrived.

Her mood was not high, and her face was pale. There were still tears in her eyes, as if she had just cried.

“Juliette, what happened to you?”

Lachlan’s heart tightened as he asked gently.

“Lachlan, I…”

When Julius felt Lachlan’s concern, her tears immediately overflowed like a flood.

“Let’s go out and talk.”

Lachlan asked for a leave of absence from his teacher and took Julius along to stroll on the field.

This kind of phenomenon was actually very strange. Other students were in class, while the first and second ranked students of the entire school were actually taking a walk.

This girl was crying very badly, and this boy was comforting her.

This was obviously a sign of early love.

But the school did not dare to care about them.

These two students were both precious. The school could not bear to hurt any one of them.

Fortunately, they were about to graduate, so their relationship would not affect their grades.

“Now, only the two of us are left. Can you tell me what happened?” Lachlan asked.

“I left home. My parents froze my bank card and took away my pocket money. I have no home to return to!” Julius said pitifully.
