Chapter 139 Go to The Grove
The footage was randomly shot by a camera in the poorest neighborhood of Memphis.
The owner of a grocery store and an old man picking up garbage were having a conversation.
Suddenly, Xena appeared, holding her nose in disgust.
The video had no sound, but Xena’s mouth movements were clear-she was calling someone “dad” and
“mom.”
Several friends who always thought of Xena as a rich young lady were instantly petrified, staring wide-
eyed in disbelief.
The video ended, and Evelyn opened the second one. It showed a wealthy residential area and Xena
was kissing an obese old man. Suddenly, another woman barged in and viciously attacked Xena on the
ground.
Everyone in the school knew that the obese man was the school board member mentioned earlier, and
the woman beating Xena was the board member’s wife.
Several friends stood there in shock, their worldviews completely overturned.
“Despite constantly claiming to detest women like Quetzal from Impoverished areas, it turns out her
own family situation is worse than Quetzal’s.”
“So she took a two-year leave from school luel

wonder she’s twenty and still clinging to school.”
“Suddenly, I feel that Quetzal is much better than her. At least Quetzal is genuine and doesn’t abandon
her parents. Wasn’t she just going home to get money in that video? Even her mom tried to touch her,
and she dodged away.”
Xena stood quietly, her eyes filled with hatred, staring straight at Evelyn, then she smirked
sinisterly.
“At least, I still have the right to be here. Let’s wait and see. This school, soon, will have no place for
Quetzal”
After saying this, she turned and left abruptly.
The few people who were just mocking Xena a moment ago quickly followed her, realizing
their own predicament.
Concerned about Quetzal, Evelyn comforted her for a while before preparing to leave.
At noon, the sunlight was just right on the campus.
A hurried sound of footsteps approached from behind, and when Evelyn turned around, she saw a
young couple running into the nearby grove.
It was a scene she longed for during her school days.
Suddenly, she didn’t feel like going back home; she wanted to lure Henry into the small grove.
Excitedly, she called Henry, only to find that his phone was turned off.
Evelyn had to call David.
The Wilson Group.
David came out of the meeting room. “Madam, the boss is in a meeting.”
“I don’t care. I have an emergency. Make him take the call now.” Evelyn was determined.
“Well… please wait a moment.”
Returning to the meeting room, David looked at Henry’s cold expression, hesitating on how to

“What’s the matter?”
“Madam’s call.”

at this time?
Suddenly, the phone disappeared from David’s hands…
Henry calmly answered the call, and Evelyn’s cheerful voice came through.
“Darling, come quickly, let’s go to the small grove.”
Employees present: “…” It seemed like they had discovered an unspeakable secret!
Seeing Henry’s icy gaze sweeping over, the employees were full of fear.
David stood on the side, pretending that he hadn’t heard Madam’s words at all.
Evelyn’s words loosened Henry’s expression, but he still said seriously, “I’m in a meeting.”
“Then finish it as quickly as possible. I’ll be waiting for you in the small grove.”
With that, Henry put down his phone, “Adjourn.” The next moment, his figure had disappeared
from the conference room.
David, belatedly realizing, hurriedly caught up. When he got into the car, Henry’s handsome face
already showed clear signs of inpatience.
David shook his head in disbelief: Boss’s principles and stance were nothing but nonsense in front of
Madam. He drove at the fastest speed to the designated location.
Evelyn checked the time after the tenth couple entered. Twenty minutes had passed.
She wondered whether to call Henry and urge him. Suddenly, her shoulder was lightly tapped.
“You’re here….” Evelyn turned around, but her smile froze upon seeing the person’s face.
It was a young boy she had never seen before.
The boy’s eyes were shining, and his face slowly turned red under Evelyn’s gaze.

Embarrassment… He’s embarrassed!
Evelyn pretended to be calm and asked, “What’s up?”

The boy extended a hand from behind him, presenting a gorgeous rose to Evelyn. “It’s for you.
You looked so beautiful playing the piano on stage.”
Evelyn: “…”
Seeing Evelyn not taking it, the boy continued, “Although the stage lights were dim, I had a backstage
position…”
“Thank you.” Evelyn interrupted, not intending to accept. Before she could decline, a chill ran down her
spine.
When she turned around, Henry was standing about three meters away. He had an expressionless
face, and the way he looked at the rose seemed like he wanted to cut it apart
from a distance.
Evelyn was nearly in tears. What a da mn coincidence.
