Chapter 1

Angelia Green had a bit too much to drink, her face flushed as she leaned on the table, lightly tapping her glass with her fingers. Amidst the lively atmosphere, there was a faint sense of melancholy.

After graduating from university, everyone went their separate ways and pursued their own goals. Despite being classmates for four years, they were still reluctant to part ways.

“I heard that we’re able to come to such a high-end restaurant today because of Jerome Taylor’s money.”

“His family is a famous conglomerate in Detroit, involved in finance, entertainment, and real estate. He’s the sole heir, with just a wave of his hand bringing in billions of dollars. If I could have a relationship with him, I’d be at ease.”

“You’re dreaming. We were only in the same class for half a year in our first year of college. After that, he only came over to take exams. He’s now the CEO of the overseas investment department, and his demeanor is extraordinary.”

“It seems like he’s here today too, in the private room next door. The principal and the head teacher are all trying to flatter him. After all, with just a nod from him, many employment issues can be resolved.”

Angelia listened to her female classmates’ discussions while propping up her chin, smiling.

At least she had been classmates with the heir to the conglomerate. This was something she could brag about for a lifetime.

“Angelia,” Torres called out.

Angelia, who was drunk, looked at her and asked, “What’s up?”

“Can you help me deliver this letter to Jerome and make sure he reads it? Then ask him to meet me in room 1802. Don’t mention my name in front of the principal and the others, I’m shy,” Torres said shyly.

Angelia hesitated, “What if he refuses?””Better than missing it, right? After today, I may never see him again. Torres asked, “Please, I don’t dare to see the principal or the head teacher.”

“Got it.” Angelia took the letter from Torres’ hand and went to the next room, knocking on the door.

“Come in.” The principal’s voice came out.

Angelia went in and bowed respectfully, “Hello principal, head teacher, secretary, and teachers.”

Jerome paused slightly, looked at Angelia, and became more serious.

He shook the red wine glass lightly, mature beyond his peers, luxurious, and seemed like a king who looked down on all heroes.

After Angelia finished shouting, she looked at Jerome, raised a smile apologetically, and whispered, “Jerome, I have something to tell you, can you come out for a moment?”

The principal and head teacher looked at each other and smiled.

There were no fewer than ten girls who came to confess their love today, but Jerome didn’t even look at them. Nowadays, girls are really bold. Who wouldn’t want a handsome, wealthy, and noble man like him?

After they finished laughing, they saw Jerome put down his wine glass, stood up, and walked towards Angelia.

Principal: “…”

Head teacher: “…”

Jerome walked up to Angelia.

She had never been so close to him before, and found that he was so tall that his shadow could cover her entirely.
Angelia smiled slightly and handed him the letter, “Take a look at this.”

Jerome suspiciously took the letter from her hand and opened it.

The letter simply said: Jerome, I like you, I really like you, I like you very, very much, and I want to have a baby with you.
Signed… Angelia.

Jerome looked at her.””Have you finished reading it?” Angelia asked suspiciously.

“Um,” he replied heavily.

“So, shall we meet in room 1802?” Angelia asked softly.

Jerome looked at her blushing face, with an innocent and flawless appearance.

This bold invitation was unlike her usual quiet and gentle nature. “Have you had too much to drink today?”

“Um,” Angelia nodded, made a three with her fingers, and added a finger, saying, “Three bottles of beer, mixed with a little red wine, but luckily, I’m not drunk.”

“Then don’t regret it,” Jerome said to her.

Regret what?

She didn’t understand the meaning of his words and casually replied, “Oh, so did you agree?”

Jerome looked at her deeply, his eyes flowing with waves. “I agreed.”

“That’s great, Jerome, you’re so good,” Angelia said happily, smiling and playfully pointing at Jerome, walking backwards a few steps, turning around, and returning to their private room.

Torres was standing at the door.

Angelia grabbed her shoulder and said happily, “Torres, he agreed, you got what you wanted.”

“What?” Torres turned pale, incredulously asking, “He agreed to meet in room 1802?”

“Uh-huh, you better go now, I’m going home too.” Angelia picked up her bag, leisurely left, and got on the bus.
Her home was on Park Avenue, only three stops away. She got off the bus and walked back home, swaying back and forth.In the dark, someone is making a phone call, “I saw her, she looks good and has a good figure…the date rape drug is ready, don’t worry, this drug will cause hallucinations, not make her fall asleep, I will take a video and send it to you.”

Angelia heard hurried footsteps approaching, turned her head, and saw a bald man approaching, and her arm suddenly hurt.

The bald man injected something into her, and she instantly felt dizzy. She had a bad feeling and pushed the bald man hard, ran forward, and shouted in panic, “Help, someone help me!”

The bald man grabbed her arm and said obscenely, “Beauty, don’t be afraid. I will take good care of you.”

“Get away.” Angelia shook her hand, but couldn’t shake him off.

She was weak and was pulled by the bald man. Her vision became increasingly blurry, and she felt a force holding her waist.

She was pulled into a strong embrace.

Angelia was very dizzy, confused, and her consciousness was unclear. She looked up and saw Jerome, stunned for a moment, her mind was blank, and she blurted out, “Jerome?”

Jerome: “…”

“I went to room 1802, but someone else is staying there, you lied to me.” Jerome said in a low voice, very unhappy.

Angelia didn’t understand what he was saying, looked at the bald man, hugged Jerome tightly, and said, “Jerome, he harmed me.”

Jerome frowned in suspicion, glanced at the syringe on the ground, “You were drugged?”

“I don’t know who did it, you have to help me.” Angelia said seriously.

Jerome was helpless, picked her up and put her in the back seat, “I’ll take you to the hospital.”Angelia clung to his neck and pitifully said, “I’m not sick, I don’t want to go to the hospital. Are you going to find an excuse to lock me in the room?”

Jerome ignored her and sat next to her, instructing the bodyguard, “Go to the hospital.”

“You!” Anglia became anxious and hugged his waist, leaning her whole body on him. “I’m not sick, don’t leave me, okay?”

Jerome looked at her moving appearance, his thoughts fluctuating. Anglia, seeing that he disagreed, felt wronged and wanted to cry. Her breath fell on his face, carrying a hint of red wine’s fragrance.

“Why don’t you look at me?” Jerome, looking at her blurry appearance, meaningfully said, “The picture is too beautiful, I dare not look.”

“Beautiful?” Anglia followed his words and said, “You’re praising me, will you love me more in the future?”

Jerome looked deeply at her. She was the first person to be so compliant with him.

Anglia, seeing him not speaking, became panicked, afraid that he would lock her in a small dark room. She lowered her head and her mouth touched his lips.

Jerome’s spine stiffened. She was the first person to dare to kiss him forcibly. After all, no girl had ever been so close to him.
Anglia, seeing his lack of response, became confused and didn’t know what to do.

Jerome looked at her like a fluffy kitten, innocent and helpless, with a pair of big watery eyes that reflected him, making everything beautiful. His eyes were filled with affection.

After all, she was the first person he saw when he entered school.”He should find a girlfriend at his age,” the speaker said.
“Rankin, go to The Golden Spoon,” Jerome ordered the bodyguard.

“Yes,” the bodyguard complied.

Angelia looked at the bodyguard, but before she could see him, Jerome turned her face towards him.
He held her chin and said dominantly, “Once you become my woman, will you still look at other men?”

“Hmm?” Angelia didn’t understand the meaning of his words yet, but he kissed her on the lips.

She felt dizzy and closed her eyes, feeling soft like water.

Jerome deepened the kiss.
