Chapter 52 See Manuel Again

“Ainsley, I’ve already apologized What else do you want from me? My mother really did not mean it… Kaitlin could only hold back her anger and chase after Ainsley She kept talking non-stop, fearing that Ainsley would not believe her apology.

Ainsley stared at Kaitlin coldly. “If you and your mother are serious about not wanting to bother me, if you want to apologize to me, the smartest way is to stay away from me as far as possible.

Kaitlin was already very angry. Being provoked by Ainsley’s words made her almost snap

Kaitlin could only watch as Ainsley walked further and further away. The viciousness in Kaitlin’s eyes was utterly obvious as she thought, you ***** I have been nothing but nice to you. And you just wouldn’t appreciate kindness. You are doomed!

Kaitlin’s apology was quickly posted on the school’s forum by other students, and there were even photos attached, which was quite convincing.

Thanks to this, Kaitlin’s reputation in the school gradually improved.

“Who knows? Kaitlin always strikes me as willful and unruly. And she actually apologizes? Her mother did something wrong. Why

should she apologize?”

“For someone like her, managing herself to bow her head and say sorry means that she isn’t that hopeless. Anyway, she’s our classmate after all. We should be nice to her.”Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

“Kaitlin is the daughter of a famous family, so I don’t think she will be ill-bred. See? After things get cleared up, she apologizes to Ms. Easton voluntarily. I think we should give her a chance to make things right.”

Although there were still certain comments criticizing Kaitlin, the number of negative comments had already dropped a lot. At least now, not all people were speaking ill of her. Occasionally, there were even certain comments saying that she was pretty.

Kaitlin held her phone and looked at the comments on the school forum. After seeing the changes, she was completely relaxed.

At the same time, there was another trending topic. The Gage family was planning a banquet.

Invitations to the banquets held by the Gage family had always been hard to come by. Those invited were always the upper class with complicated backgrounds. Countless people craved being invited.

When it came to times like this, the classroom where Serina was would be the most lively. As the daughter of the Gage family, Serina had every right to send the invitations. Most of the students at the University of Washington were either rich or noble, and their families were in business. Therefore, all of them wanted the invitations badly.

Attending the banquet would probably give their family business a boost, so they would certainly grasp the opportunity.

“Serina, this is the new Chanel bag that my father just brought me from abroad. Do you like it?”

“Serina, I have Johnny Haydn’s signature. I remember that you like Johnny a lot, right?”

Serina looked at them, frowning in frustration. She thought, every time my family is going to hold a banquet, they will always go all out, trying to butter me up. But the invitations are so important. I don’t

have many of them at all. Even if I am to give them out, I’ll give them to those important to me.

She put her things into her backpack, forced her way out of the crowd, and walked quickly to the school’s Psychological Counseling Room.

Serina walked to the Psychological Counseling Room and poked her cute head. Then she saw that Ainsley was reading a psychology-related book earnestly. The book had a black and gold cover with a black rose, showing its nobility and mystery.

At the sight of the invitation that came out of the blue, Ainsley raised her head in confusion. Then she smiled helplessly when she saw Serina’s innocent, delicate face.

“Ainsley, I am about to attend a big banquet tomorrow. I want to invite you to join me. Can you come with me? I will be afraid if there are too many people.”

Ainsley looked at the invitation letter in front of her and had mixed feelings. She knew what the invitation from the Gage family stood for.

She thought, recently, there has been a lot going on with me at school, and therefore almost all my classmates have been talking. It hasn’t been easy for me.

Ever since I handed over the management of the company to Matteo, most people think I’m just an unwanted daughter of a rich family who has no one to rely on.

If I go to the Gage family’s banquet at such a sensitive moment, I may cause some unnecessary disputes again.

“Serina, I might have other things to deal with tomorrow, so I can’t come. If you are really scared, stay somewhere less crowded and call me if you need anything.”

The disappointment on Serina’s face was very obvious. She knew that after Ainsley made a decision, it could hardly be changed. Also, Ainsley wasn’t after her family’s wealth.

“Ainsley, are you sure? You really can’t join me? Won’t it break your heart to see me shiver in the corner alone?”

Ainsley chuckled. “I didn’t know you could act pitifully. I’m sorry. I really have something to do.”

Ainsley was sure that no one dared to bully Serina. After all, Serina was the daughter of the Gage family, Manuel’s younger sister. Whoever dared to bully her could kiss their lives in Seattle goodbye.

Besides, the people who received the invitations were all upper-class with a good sense of courtesy and propriety. Naturally, Ainsley

didn’t need to worry about Serina at all.

“Alright then. Ainsley, sorry for disturbing you.” Serina then picked up the invitation and went out.

Serina lowered her head, and when she walked out, she looked so dejected. Seeing that, Ainsley somehow felt very upset for a moment. She had no idea why she felt this way. She found it so strange.

After Serina left the Psychological Counseling Room, she immediately took out her phone to call Manuel.

Her tone was filled with sadness as she said, “Manuel, I invited Ainsley to our family’s banquet, but she turned me down. She said she had something to attend to tomorrow.

“Manuel, you are always the smart one. Can you invite Ainsley to join me?”

While saying this, Serina suddenly became hopeful, and her face instantly glowed. She thought, if Manuel can get Ainsley to say yes, I’ll go all out to create opportunities for them. I will be so happy if

Ainsley becomes my future sister-in-law.

Manuel chuckled and thought, that sounds like Ainsley indeed. Countless people crave joining the banquet, yet the banquet means nothing to her at all.

He said, “I see.”

Ainsley only left the school till it was eight o’clock in the evening. She had been busy preparing for the Psychology Quiz Show, and many people had signed up for it, so she had to work overtime.

Just as she walked downstairs, in the dark, she saw the man leaning against his car in a cloud of smoke below the apartment.
