Chapter 68

Ch. 68 / 324 Jul 29, 2025

She thought that the girl would be either crying in anger or mope as she had already spoken to that point. However, Sara just looked at her quietly and asked, "Since you like him, why did you give up on him because he was sick?"

Yasmine was speechless.

She looked embarrassed. She then looked down and said, "I have no say in that. It's my family..."

Sara said seriously, "What does this have to do with your family? If you're determined enough, others would not be able to affect you."

The smile on Yasmine's face could no longer be maintained.

She originally wanted to give the girl a head- on blow, but she didn't expect that she would be struck back!

When Yasmine was about to say something, she heard a strong voice suddenly, "Didn't you say that Hank is here? Where is he?"

When Yasmine heard the voice, she stood up immediately. Sara turned her head and saw a large group of people coming in.

Bella let out a tut in his heart. He didn't know what a lucky day it was, there was no peace at all. One trouble followed another, and each one was getting harder and harder to deal with.

Although he thought so, he still had to greet with a smile as the people were already there, "Commander Selmy, what brings you here?"

Commander Selmy was an old man who was over 70 years old. His hair and beard were grey, but he was in high spirits. His turbid eyes still had the glint of light that would frighten ordinary people and made them dare not to look at him in the eyes.

He smiled and said, "I brought the youngsters of my family to have fun here."

As he said that, he looked back and pointed to a teenager in a black hoodie. He said, "This is my grandson. I have never brought him out before,"

The boy had a headset in one ear and was scrolling his phone. Hearing his grandfather's words, he raised his head reluctantly and nodded. Obviously, he thought he had given enough acknowledgment.

"This kid is like that. Bella, you don't have to mind him. He treats everyone like that." Commander Selmy glared at his grandson and said, "I heard that Hank is here too, where is he?"

The old man in front of him was the most powerful senior commander of Country A. The Selmy family was on par with the Bishop family for a long time. However, after

Hank rose, the Bishop family was benefited and stood on the top of the pyramid. However, in fact, the relationship between the two families was not broken and competitive as what outsiders had guessed. On the contrary, Commander Selmy admired Hank so much that he wanted to kill his ignorant son and kidnap Hank.

Of course, that horrible idea was stopped by the members of the Selmy family, in the end, Commander Selmy and Hank became friends despite their age gap.

However, that cross-generation friendship was admitted unilaterally by Commander Selmy, Hank had never admitted it.

Bella coughed and said, "There was a call from the higher-up."

Commander Selmy understood and asked, "Is he better now?"

"Much better." Bella replied implicitly.

After thinking for a while, Commander Selmy said in a low voice, "So how does he think? Continue to do it or..."

Bella shook his head and said, "Master Bishop has always been thoughtful. How could I know what he is thinking?"

Commander Selmy snorted, "You know Hank from A to Z. Who else will know other than you?"

When Bella was about to speak, Yasmine smiled and said, "Commander Selmy, I didn't expect to see you here."

Commander Selmy narrowed his eyes and said, "Miss Yasmin, are you playing here as well?"

Yasmine smiled and replied, "Yes, I came after I knew Master Bishop was here."

Commander Selmy had always been kind to youngsters. He nodded and said, "Okay, let's have a good time together."

Bella was helpless. Master Bishop rarely brought Miss Martin out. Of course they would want to enjoy their time alone without any disturbance.

"Hmm?" Commander Selmy asked suddenly, "Who is this girl?"

Yasmine glanced at Sara. For some reason, she did not want to tell others about her relationship with Hank. She said, "That's my friend. It's her first time here, so she doesn't know you."

Fortunately, Commander Selmy was uninterested and did not ask further. However, the well-known Young Master Selmy put away his phone and walked to Sara slowly. He watched as she played with the pile of parts in front of her. He asked, "Do you know how to do this?"

Sara was concentrating. She was startled when she heard the voice. When she looked up, she saw a familiar face. She was stunned."...Alex?"

Young Master Selmy, i.e. Alex, said lazily, "I didn't expect to see you here. How did you know Yasmine?"

Sara thought for a moment and replied,..By introduction?"

Alex tacitly thought that it was someone else who introduced Yasmine to her, so he didn't ask further. Instead, he said, "Are you interested in guns?"

Sara replied lazily, "So so. It's just that I'm so dumb that I can't learn it."

"You just learned about it and don't even understand the structure and components. Of course you can't assemble it." Alex casually sat cross-legged opposite Sara and said, "I teach you?"

Sara nodded.

When Commander Selmy, who had been chatting with Yasmine, saw that scene. He was quite surprised, "Did Alex know this girl?"

Yasmine was also confused, "...I'm not sure either.

Logically, with Sara's status, how could it be possible for her to know the only child of the Selmy family?

"Ahem." Commander Selmy coughed and said, "Would you like to introduce her to me?"

Alex looked up at Commander Selmy, and so did Sara. At that moment, she saw a kind of bone-chilling coldness in Alex's ever-smiling eyes, there was an unspeakable emotion entangled in it. It was so complicated that it made people dizzy. However, in the end, it was dissolved into Alex's casual laughter, "She's my deskmate."

The three simple words shocked the old man, "Don't you hate having someone sitting next to you?"

Alex raised his eyelids and said with a faint smile, "Grandpa, do you even want to bother who my deskmate is?"

"I didn't mean that." Commander Selmy said awkwardly, "Since you know each other, then play together."

Alex did not object, but he also had no intention of participating. He sat on the ground and taught Sara how to assemble the gun.

Yasmine was not good at that, so she didn't get involved in it. Instead, she took a cup of soda and sat down aside. She asked with a smile, "Miss Martin, so it turns out that you and Young Master Selmy are classmates."

Sara raised her head and glanced at her, "Yeah, we're studying at Scrollania College."

"I see." Yasmine already knew that Sara got into the school by Hank's connection. She said, "Miss Martin, are you used to your life in college?"
