354. Bewitched

Since returning to earth, the relationship between the girls has become much more complicated.

Antotika and Hala took the initiative to talk to Hala significantly less often, and she never mentioned anything about that experience.

Inge, on the other hand, would get close to Hala and Peloris from time to time, wanting to ask some secrets about the "mysterious power", but both of them were hesitant on the topic.

After Fanny came back, she behaved in the most ordinary way. Except for Hala and Peloris, who came to express their concern when they first came back, and made an appointment with a few people to get together.

There is nothing special about it.

And Peloris is the most special one.

Since returning to Wharton, her attitude towards Hala has become much more enthusiastic, which has also led to many people taking the initiative to talk to Peloris.

Then was ignored.

Peloris said:

"I heard that there will be a large banquet held soon. I want to go there on behalf of my family. Will you and Hewen go?"

Hala asked:

"What party?"

Peloris said curiously:

"Don't you know? Didn't Hevin tell you that George Pendragon will also be present at the banquet celebrating the Chancellor's woman's twentieth birthday? The Chancellor is a prominent figure in Wharton today. This banquet symbolizes

Her daughter will step from behind the scenes to the stage, and maybe soon she will join politics like her mother.

"But this is none of our business. I was just invited, so I had to go on behalf of my family. Although my mother is Shana, in the eyes of some people, my identity is not completely public.

Nowadays, many nobles think that my mother is a low-key Marchioness with no power.

"And if I want to borrow my mother's name, I must also protect her reputation. I am now studying here as the daughter of Hou Jun's wife Shana, so I have to socialize occasionally.

"But I always feel a bit bored if I go alone, and I don't have any noble friends, so I asked you if you want to go with me."

In Peloris' view, Hala's father, Hevin, was one of the seven kings of Lower Wharton. If he came here, someone would definitely send him an invitation.

But unlike Peloris, if a person of Hevin's level attends a banquet to show respect to the host, even if he doesn't attend or even refuses in a reply, he won't feel weird at all.

Strength itself is the highest power.

Ha La thought for a moment:

"Sister Enid? I'm going to ask Hevin if I can go with you."

Peloris said in surprise:

"Do you know Enid?"

Ha La nodded:

"She used to come to my house to play with me when I was little."

Peloris asked:

"When you were a child? How young?"

Ha La stretched out her hand and made a gesture on her belly:

"About when I was this tall."

Peloris said in surprise:

"That must have happened a long time ago."

Ha La nodded with a serious expression:

"Many months ago."

Peloris nodded, then froze for a moment:

"Wait, how many months ago?"

Hala looked at Peloris with innocent eyes.

Peloris said:

"All right."

While the two girls were chatting, two pairs of eyes were looking in this direction.

Jimmy Taylor and his friend Bane.

Bain said:

"Holla rejected you."

Jimmy gritted his teeth and said:

"It's not just rejection, it's humiliation."

Although the ending of Jimmy's farewell to Hal was beyond Bain's expectation, it was not a bad thing for him.

Bain believes that the so-called growth is to overcome the immature self in the past.

And Jimmy's past.

It's simply immature to the point of being terrible.

Bain wants Jimmy to see his own lack of confidence and overcome it.

Halla did a really good job.

Bain looked at Jimmy's face that was filled with anger, resentment, and fear.

Even though he was already in so much pain, he fantasized about taking revenge on Ha La countless times, but he didn't dare to move. What a coward he was.

Jimmy's cowardice has turned into a real thing--Holla.

Bain didn't know why Holla had such a big reaction. In his original expectation, Holla would most likely reject it mildly, causing Jimmy to fall into a short trough, but Bain would soon cheer him up again.

But Bain is still very grateful to Hala, because she made things a lot easier.

Bane whispered to Jimmy;

"She really deserves to die."

Jimmy followed along and said:

"I want her to regret it."

Bain smiled and nodded:

"Let's take revenge on her."

Jimmy was obviously startled. He didn't expect Bain to say such a thing.

Bane is like the snake that hissed to tempt Adam:

"You just went to confess, but what did she do to you? She could have rejected you very gently. Even if she didn't like you, she should never have been so insulting.

"She doesn't respect you, she's humiliating you, she looks down on you."

Jimmy clenched his fists:

"How dare she?"

Bain shouted sharply:

"How dare she! Do you want her to know that she has done something wrong and looks down on you, Jimmy Taylor? Prove to her that you are not a nobody who can be manipulated at will. You are Jimmy Taylor, the future Grand Marquis.

!”

Jimmy repeated in a murmur;

"I'm a big shot, I'm a big shot, I'm a big shot."

Having said this, Jimmy has forgotten that he kept peeking at Ha La and made her angry, let alone that he yelled at the girl first.

Bain patted him on the shoulder and praised:

"Very well, let's find a way to take revenge on this arrogant little girl."

Jimmy pretended to be low and said:

"What are we going to do."

Bain smiled and said:

"Don't worry, take your time this time, but I promise, Ha La will pay the due price.

"Since Ha La looks down on you so much, then you 'get' her. Whatever Ha La does to you, you can retaliate a thousand times a hundred times at that time and 'torture' her ruthlessly."

Jimmy didn't quite understand what Bain said:

"What do you mean, get her? How can I get her? She hates me so much."

Bain patted his head:

"Have you forgotten? You are the grandson of a marquis, we are nobles, and Hala's father is just a wealthy businessman. I have carefully investigated her background.

"The first lesson I will teach you is that this is never a fair world. Noble ladies of the same status as us must be treated with full respect when pursuing them and must not use any despicable tricks. This is also a violation of the power we hold.

respect.

"But for those powerless civilians, we are noble nobles who are above us. If we were in front of the Duke, you would definitely feel nervous, and so would I. Those civilians would feel even more nervous when they look at us.

"Because we are above them, we can kill them without being punished, so they are afraid of us. Even if you kill a civilian on the street, the only heir to a marquis like you does not need to go to jail, as long as you disappear for a while

Just time.

"And we are powerful. We can pay those shady rats to do things for us. No one will know the truth, and no one can accuse you, unless she wants to commit the crime of slandering the nobles."

Bain looked at the surprised Jimmy with a smile:
