Chapter 26 – Kings High 1
Jonathan wanted to laugh at Henry’s face but held back, “Are you talking about Andrew Jacobsen’s daughter?”
Henry mumbled, “I don’t know.”
Lil rolled her eyes, “Yes. Andrew Jacobsen’s daughter. You will meet her soon. She will take over Uncle’s work and their cooperation with Smith Group is on the top of the list.”
Jonathan was stunned. Wasn’t she a little too well informed?
“Mer is my best friend since diapers. We tell each other everything.” Lil only shrugged at Jonathan’s enquiring eyes.
Jonathan nodded at her and did not ask further.
“You mentioned that Vivian Stone was your rival in Kings High.” Jonathan changed the topic.
Jenn raised her hand, “I also want to know.”
Liliana shook her head, “We were in Kings High together. I am a year younger than her, but we were in the same class and I always got better grades than her. She saw me as her rival, I saw her as a spoiled brat. To be fair, my indifference might have pushed her over the edge. But then again, I can’t be held accountable for her character flaws.”
Henry raised a brow, “In that case she probably hates you.”
Liliana just shrugged her shoulders, “Who cares? If she had not hurt Jo, I would not have bothered with her. This is just a lesson for her. If she toes the line, I will ignore her. But it’s safe to say, she won’t do that. Too much ego, too little brain.”
Jenn chuckled, “Sometimes, I feel very fortunate I never crossed you.”
Lil snorted, “No, you were the stupid little girl who risked her job to help a stranger without listening to me at all. For all you knew, I could have been the bad guy.”
Jenn replied smugly, “My instincts are pretty accurate.”
Henry asked, “Jonathan, James, and I also studied in Kings High. We were the 168th batch. We should be your seniors.”
Lil nodded, “We were the 173rd batch.”
Kings High was a combination of middle school and high school, grades 5-12.
Given their 5 year difference, they would have been in the school around the same time had the boys not left before.
Jonathan frowned, “We left after freshman year. I guess we would have crossed paths in school if we had not gone abroad.”
Lil chuckled, hiding her true emotions. “I suppose we were always meant to cross paths with each other.”
Jenn asked curiously, “I have heard that you have to have noble blood to enter Kings High, is that true?”
Lil answered, “It’s yes and no. There are three ways to enter Kings High.”
Jenn frowned, “What do you mean by Yes and No?”Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Jonathan asked, “There are only two, right? One is grade plus money. Another is to educate 50 children in one of the best schools in P city, basically, more money.”
