Chapter 164: Chapter 163 : Mine

Victor opened his eyes and watched as Tom followed Isabella out of the class. It has begun… Should he stop him? No, on the contrary, he should let him interact with Isabella more. This way, he would be able to get her to fight with Nova later to see if that would affect any of their fates. Fate was a strange subject, that despite living long and reading a lot, he barely knew anything about it… 

Now he has more pressing matters to attend to as the situation was progressing faster than he anticipated…. He didn’t expect that Yulian would appear and follow Lily to school. When he met him in his previous life, he was a decent gentleman… 

Plans needed to be changed again. He must find a way to marry Lily ASAP. …. But still, there were many problems.

First, his father would oppose her being the main wife… The solution for this would be to give her a concubine position first, then elevate her later… But that would still be difficult with his family's current situation. As they want him to marry Nova first… And maybe Lin.

The second problem would be the Von Krone. They would take her away immediately if they heard anything about marriage. And he was sure that their spies were already listening everywhere by now… The only reason they left her in his hands was that he displayed no interest in her. And this was good for her test. The harder the test, the better the rewards!

Anyway, he already had a good plan… But his moves must be as natural and hidden as possible. He must not arouse any suspicion… If he played his cards right, he might even be able to make Principal James be a witness to the marriage, and maybe Yulian too…that would make things interesting as the Von krone would not be able to back down after that.

Victor slowly stretched his arms as he sat up while the girls packed their and his unused notebooks.

“Lily, thanks for the massage…” He said with a smile as he used his phone to message his mother and ask about her location, “Tomorrow it will be Margret’s turn…. Now…Go wait for me in the car… I will be there in a moment.” He added, as he stood up and put the phone in his pocket then headed toward Zoe who was also packing her stuff.

“Cousin… Are you alright?” Victor asked her as the girls left the classroom after giving him a curious look.

“Ah…. Yeah.” She said absent-mindedly.

“ I am heading to meet my mother, and Iris is there too, do you want to come with me?” Victor asked.

“ No…. I am not feeling well. “ She replied as she stood up, she seemed broken-hearted.

“That won’t do,” Victor said as he suddenly appeared in front of her, and before she could do anything he bent down then grabbed her legs and carried her as a princess. “I will take you to the infirmary…” He said.

“Ah…. Let me go..” She said as she tried to get off him but to no avail… He was stronger than her.

“No, You looked pale and absent-minded all day… I have to make sure you are ok...” He said.

“Cousin… I am fine … Let me go…” She complained again with a blush as she looked around…. Thankfully her classmates had already left…

“Are you really ok?” He asked.

“Yes.” She replied, a little pouting… She had long realized that he was joking with her… He was cheering her up.

“Are you worried about Oliver?” He whispered in a low voice that surprised her… Did he know?

“You…” 

“Yes, I sent someone to tail him… He threatened Lily after all… And I read his file, he is your childhood friend… You really protect him a lot.” Victor whispered.

“Ummm.” She said with a blush… Her secret crush was discovered.

“Don't worry about him, I will no longer pursue him… And you should not too, he is a man after all…” Victor said with a smile, that nearly captivated her.

“Ah….. Yes…” She said…… just like a girl who forgot her wallet as if she was destined to, came back to class and ruined the romantic moment….. 

“AHH,” The girl gasped, then quickly took her wallet and ran… “I saw nothing… “She yelled.

“AHHHH…. Let me down…” Zoe quickly whispered in embarrassment as her ears turned red. She has never been carried like this in her entire life, as she always acted tough when she was a kid.

“Will you be a good girl if I put you down?” Victor asked jokingly.

“You….” She just glared at him angrily as she did not want to answer that. No matter what she replied with, it would carry a dirty meaning… She was not stupid, as she had to survive being a lonely girl in a gang of village boys.

Victor chuckled at her response and put her down…

“As I said, Oliver probably left because he didn’t like being helped by a girl… You should let him grow and then return to you when he is ready..” Victor said as he looked at her rearranging her messed-up skirt.

“I Know… “She said… Still pouting.

“Do you wanna come with me?” He asked again.

“No, I am fine… I have something to do….” She replied… She needed some time alone.

“Oh… Too bad… Maybe another day then.” He said, “See you.” He added as he walked leisurely out of class…

Zoe sighed…Why wouldn’t Oliver be like her cousin, smart and decisive… She really felt his strong muscles under his shirt when he was holding her…. He was very strong… If one day…….. NOOOOOOOOO ZOE WHAT ARE YOU THINKING?

…

Victor whistled his way to the parking lot, where the girls and Leo, who was secretly inspecting them, were waiting for him. Alex had to drive his mother, and as a young master, he can’t possibly drive himself to school… So he called Leo this morning.

“Finished scamming little girls?” Margret asked him as she hugged his arm.

“No… I would never finish with that…. You were scammed by me too, you don’t seem to be very upset about it.” He said as he opened the car’s door.

“I never said I hated it… But I can’t speak for others…” She said cheekily as she entered the car.

“Young master… We also don’t hate the fact that you scammed us, ….” Mina said as she quickly dragged her blushing sister inside the car… He never asked. Victor sighed as he entered after Lily who was thinking naively that her young master had never scammed her… 

“Where to, young master?” Leo, who got into the driver's seat, asked.

“Go to the white Crane Mall,” Victor said as he relaxed his head on Margret's lap causing her to be a little surprised… That’s unusual… Did she say something that he liked?

Victor chuckled as he began to check his stats.
