Chapter 378 The Opening Ceremony 1
Renee sneered. “Then let’s wait and see. But I’ll warn you-don’t you dare touch that man. If you do, don’t blame me for being ruthless p>
Nicholas looked at her mockingly. “What’s this? Growing soft? He’s Jared’s son. I’m only helping you p>
“Save the act. If you ever go behind my back again, meddling with my plans without my approval, then don’t blame me for being merciless.” Renee’s eyes glinted with malice. She had originally thought the drug Jane gave Triny had been the one she prepared, but clearly, it
wasn’t.
Nicholas shrugged indifferently. “Hard to be the good guy. If you’d rather stay here and play slowly, then have it your way p>
Renee rose to her feet, straightened her clothes, and once again carried herself with regal poise. “Remember what you said today. If it happens again, the Stint family won’t be a place for you to stay.” With that, she turned and swept out.
Nicholas watched her retreating figure, his gaze dark and sinister.
At Kingston University-
After finishing her conversation with Principal Zhang, Lillian stepped out of the office, ready to return to her dorm, when a female voice called out.
“Lillian p>
She turned and saw Eda walking toward her, arm in arm with Daylen.
The sight caught her off guard. It seemed a lot had changed over the summer.
“Long time no see, Lillian p>
Lillian gave a cold smile. “Yes, long time no see. I didn’t expect to run into you here at university. What a coincidence p>
That Eda had made it into Kingston University wasn’t surprising. Despite their personal grievances, Eda’s academic ability was solid. What disappointed Lillian slightly was that Natalie hadn’t managed to get into Capital University.
Eda’s eyes shone with open pride. “Have you forgotten what I once told you? The real contest begins at university. I enrolled in Kingston specifically for you p>
Lillian’s tone was flat, edged with sarcasm. “Is that so? I’m honored p>

Eda brushed off the jab with a smile. “Oh, and you may not know this yet-Daylen and I are about to get engaged.” She cast a coy glance at the boy beside her.
Daylen remained silent, his face unreadable.
Lillian smiled faintly. “Well, congratulations. I suppose you must be very happy now-after all, you finally got what you always wanted p>
Eda’s face stiffened, but she quickly forced a smile. “Yes. As long as I can be with Daylen, I’ll always be happy p>
“In that case, congratulations again. I have something to attend to, so I’ll be going.” With an indifferent expression, Lillian walked past them without another glance.
That Eda and Daylen had ended up together was a surprise, but in the end, everyone chose. their own path, and each would bear the weight of their choices.
For freshmen, Kingston University’s opening ceremony was their first real taste of campus life, a gathering that symbolized their new beginning.
Everyone took it seriously.
In the dorm-
Isabelle eyed Lillian’s tracksuit and shook her head. “You can’t be serious. As the freshman representative giving a speech, you can’t dress so casually. It’s an embarrassment to our dorm’s honor p>
Elsie, lounging with a lollipop in her mouth, nodded in agreement. “Exactly. You’re the face of our dorm, not just representing yourself, but also our entire room 508-and all the freshmen
too p>
“She’s right,” Laney chimed in. “Elsie couldn’t have put it better. And don’t forget, you just had a spat with the sophomore campus belle. Right now the whole school’s eyes are on you. You can’t go looking like this p>
