CHAPTER 103: JUST A SCHOOL BEAU

"Is Bruce crazy? Why didn’t he assign me to the same major as you? God, why did I study finance? I really can’t bear it!"

Margaret followed Hilla to River University and found out her major was finance again. She was about to go crazy.

Hilla’s courses were so easy to get points. Was Bruce crazy? She had been learning financial management for five years.

This major wasn’t suitable for her! Why would he force her again and again!

Hilla couldn’t help but laugh when she saw Margaret’s hopeless expression, "Don’t worry, I also minor in finance. We will have a chance to attend classes together."

As soon as Hilla finished speaking, Margaret grabbed her arm and said movingly, "Bruce is cruel. He even does this to you. Such a man!"

Margaret really suffered a lot in financial management. Moreover, she minored in law. Bruce clearly wanted to nurture her into an excellent businesswoman, but Margaret only wanted to rest in peace and be a girl born with a silver spoon.

Life was really too bitter. How much hardship she had to go through before becoming successful?

"I chose this course myself. It has nothing to do with Bruce. He doesn’t interfere with my studies, and he never forces me."

"Hey! He treats his wife and sister differently... It’s unfair!!"

"Why would he intervene in all my classes? Furthermore, I have no interest in what he chose for me at all. Every single one of them is so difficult to get credits. I haven’t even graduated from university just because of this!"

Others seemed to have an unforgettable experience in university. However, her university life was simply a nightmare, and the one who caused this was Bruce, her dear brother.

She didn’t even have the courage to be angry! He could always win over her! "It doesn’t matter. You will graduate next year."

Hilla’s comfort didn’t seem to help. Margaret just muttered to herself, "It’s already embarrassing to graduate at the same time with you. I would rather die if can’t graduate next year..."

Margaret gritted her teeth and turned to her academy angrily.

Hilla heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Bruce didn’t arrange courses at her major for Margaret. At most, they would only meet occasionally. It wouldn’t have too much of an impact.

"Darling, I miss you so much!"

As soon as Hilla returned to the dormitory, Lily pounced on her. She was so

enthusiastic, as if she had seen her favorite food.

Hilla stumbled and fell onto the bed. She couldn’t help but mutter to himself, "Dear Lily, you seem to gain weight again."

Lily immediately covered her chubby little face and said in a panic, "Really? It’s all my mother’s fault. She made my favorite dishes for me during Christmas, and I ate meat every day. Then I am like this... Oh my god, I put on weight again. I can’t be a beautiful fairy. What’s the point of living? Tonight, I will eat myself to death."

Thank God! She wasn’t thinking about killing herself by cutting her neck with a chip.

Hilla frowned and quickly sat up, asking seriously, "Your mother brought you something delicious again, didn’t she?"

"No, my mother just stuffed me with ten pounds of cured meat and five bean buns." Did she want to be as fat as a ball?

Lily could only be considered a little round. She was not fat. She was raised white and tender, looking very cute.

"Give me three pounds of cured meat and I will forgive you."

"You want three pounds? No, I promised to give it to someone else. At most, I’ll give you two pounds. I can’t give you more."

Lily stretched out two fingers as she spoke. She wore a serious look. Hilla nodded quickly, "Deal. I’ll take it away after school."

Lily nodded, then covered her little face and said dispiritedly, "Have I really gotten a lot fatter?"

Women really cared a lot about their weight.

Wasn’t it good to be a full-sized fairy? Why they must be thin?

"A little. Not a thing. You’re very cute. I think you might meet your Mr. Right this year." Hilla said.

Lily immediately became spirited. She said with an excited face, "Is that so? Then can I eat a little more?"

It was said that fat girls usually had good luck. Lily was only a little round, not fat.

Hilla held the book in her arms tightly and raised it up, only to find the empty bed. She was stunned, "Has Candice moved away?"

"Yes, I heard that she went abroad to study after Christmas. The school has done the withdrawal procedures, so the bed is empty. But don’t worry. They will arrange a new student to come."

Their dormitory was exclusively for the clothing department. The new roommate would be from the same department as her. Hilla was not worried that she would encounter someone difficult to get along with.

Moreover, she seldom lived here. She would only occasionally come back, so there wouldn’t be too many conflicts.

Before Hilla finished thinking, the door of the dormitory was opened. She was surprised to see Margaret standing at the door with an expression that was even more exaggerated than hers. Margaret said in shock, "Hilla! Are you my roommate? Oh my god, I just said that Bruce is stupid. There is the surprise. Bruce is the smartest man in this world."

Margaret now spoke highly of Bruce who she just disdained.

The moment Hilla saw Margaret, she felt strange.

Good! It would be fine even if he arranged his sister to her school. She just thought this might be a coincidence. Bruce wasn’t planning to let Margaret keep an eye on her.

Now... How could a twenty-year-old girl like her be able to guess what was in his mind?

"We can be companions. I will accompany you in school. Are you happy?" Margaret pulled the suitcase in and patted Hilla on the shoulder, smiling brightly.

Originally, she didn’t want the dormitory. In any case, she didn’t intend to stay in school. However, she didn’t dare to say no since Bruce arranged it for her.

Now that she saw Hilla, she suddenly understood that it didn’t matter whether she would live or not. It was important to keep a close eye on his wife. Bruce was really a genius.

"Do you know each other?"

Lily came back to her senses and handed over the bag of potato chips she just ate.

Margaret took it and replied in a friendly manner, "My brother is her husband, and she is my sister-in-law!"

...

Hilla was on the verge of collapsing!

However, Margaret was still indifferent. After eating the small bag of potato chips, she stretched and asked, "Is there a cucumber flavor? I like cucumbers."

Hilla thought, "Still thinking about eating? Are you a pig?"

She would survive in any environment since she was so easy to feed.

"No. How about a tomato flavor?"

Lily rummaged around in the pile of snacks for a long time before taking out a bag of potato chips. She then moved closer to Margaret and said, "So you are Hilla’s sister-in-law, Bruce’s..."

"My name is Margaret. You can call me Maggie. From now on, we are friends. Hilla’s best friend is also my best friend."

"Oh my god, I actually make friends with a rich girl again."

Lily had a look of disbelief. It was already very surprising that she and Hilla were close friends. She didn’t expect to make friends with another girl from a rich family.

This was Bruce’s sister, the eldest daughter of the Anderson Group, and Hilla’s sister-in-law. She felt like she was dreaming.

"You seem to be older than us. You must be very talented. You are hired by our school, right? A female professor?"

The daughters of the Anderson family must be different. She should be smarter.

Lily looked at Margaret with a look of worship, but Margaret turned around with a guilty face. She lowered her head while eating the potato chips. Then she whispered, "I’m not a top student, nor a professor. I still need to work hard. Actually, I only stayed abroad for a few years."

"Oh my god, don’t play humble. You must be a straight-A student, right? I know that only the most outstanding students in River University can go abroad to study, just like Rigel."

"I think so!"

Who was Rigel? Should she know him? Anyway, she had been in college for five years and had not graduated.

Lily’s admiration for Margaret was stronger. She kept stuffing the snacks into Margaret’s arms while flattering her.

"Best student and best friend, from now on, we are best friends. You studied finance and even chose law. Those are the two most difficult majors in our school. You are simply my idol. A student like me should get closer to students like you. Only then can I become smart."

"Can you bless me? This semester, I want to get an A grade."

Margaret was stuffing snacks into her mouth with all her might.

She didn’t dare to speak. Nor did she dare to look at Hilla’s eyes, for fear that Hilla would laugh at her.

Was this the voice of an ill-performed student? She also wanted to find a good student to worship. She also wanted to be blessed! She wanted her graduation to be smooth.

She didn’t want to learn finance and law anymore.

After Lily expressed her admiration, she moved closer and whispered, "Mr. Anderson specially arranged you here. What is the reason? He was worried about Hilla and wanted you to keep an eye on her?"

To put it bluntly, he just wanted to make sure Hilla didn’t betray him.

"It seems that Mr. Anderson really cares about Hilla. Otherwise, why would he let you return to campus? It seems that Hilla is really favored in your family."

Margaret had a guilty conscience as she listened.

It was true that Hilla was favored by them, but this was not a return. She had never left the campus.

Hilla couldn’t help but frown as she watched them talk. One dared to speak, the other dared to believe. God!

She suddenly had a bad feeling. Why did she feel weird? She felt Margaret was a time bomb.

"Bruce, Hilla is really popular in school, especially among the male students. You are right. Several students are chasing her, but she refused."

Margaret shared the first-hand information with Bruce after she got it. After all, she was also asking for a living. She was also forced by life.

There was a faint response from Bruce.

Margaret could tell that Bruce was calm, and it seemed that this did not arouse his interest.

"I also heard something else."

"Just come to me if you have any difficulty."

Bruce’s voice was deep, without any ups and downs. It seemed that he was indifferent to everything in the world.

Margaret could not help but roll her eyes. The more he pretended, the more interested he was.

"I heard Hilla often meet with a man from the Department of Architecture. They even draw blackboard newspapers together. Most importantly, he is the campus beau. He is aloof, but he treats Hilla very well."

Margaret felt like she was an international spy. Every day, she was doing her best to get useful information.

There was no other way. It was the survival instinct that she had to possess under the pressure of her brother.

"It’s just a school beau."

Just a school beau? Then why would you gnash your teeth?

Margaret knew Bruce. She continued, "Hilla is also very nice to him. She smiles whenever she sees him."

This was really very unpleasant to hear.

Bruce furrowed his brows. The executive who was reporting to him was so scared that his heart skipped a beat.

Was it because his plan was not done well? Was Mr. Bruce dissatisfied?

Bruce just left the group of executives behind and continued to chat with Margaret.

It seemed that he was working on building a harmonious family relationship.

"Also, they both chose beauty arts. They do activities together. By the way, I heard that they went to the same company this time. It must be fate. Hilla also has a private friendship with him."

Margaret told Bruce all the information she gathered. Although the information was fragmented, she tried very hard to confirm the authenticity of her words.

In the end, for fear that Bruce might not believe, she even quickly said, "His name is Rigel. He is still interning in our group!"

No response. Margaret really had the heart in her mouth.

Since she could not hear Bruce’s response, she could not know what kind of expression was on Bruce’s face. She could only whisper, "If you think this is not important, then I will try to gather other information..."

"Study well, and graduate with Hilla next year. Then we could double our happiness."

Bruce’s voice finally came. Margaret was stunned. She almost knelt on the ground.

Thank God. She finally could graduate from this damn university.

Margaret really wanted to hug Hilla at the thought that she would soon become a true university student.

It was really not easy to survive under her brother’s torture.
