This so-called last-minute gift was just a trick to get her to come over for the interrogation.

"There's only one year left. If you don't study, then you don't study. When your dad wakes up, he will feel so guilty."

Winona, who had always been weak, spoke in a gentle tone.

However, for some reason, it made people want to listen to her and convince them to do as she said.

"Child, go to school. Just take it as a graduation certificate for your parents. Your family doesn't need you for one year."

Jovie raised her head and wanted to argue with Winona, but after thinking about it, she swallowed her words.

"Ziyu has already told Mom. I will take back the tuition fees for you. As for your father's medical expenses, I will think of a way. You should study hard and bring honor to your parents."

Winona wiped the water off her hands, took out her bank card from her pocket and returned it to Jovie.

This was the tuition fees and living expenses that her child had worked so hard to save for a year. She couldn't let her child lose his future for these money.

Jovie could not reject Winona's soft gaze. She sighed in her heart and accepted it.

Perhaps, she still wanted to finish her first year of school smoothly and get her graduation certificate.

"I will think of a way to pay for Dad's medical expenses."

Jovie had a plan in her mind. Logically speaking, she had all the advantages and ways to earn money.

However, all of this would take time, and the medical bills that she was about to pay would not give her any time.

Right now, she was thinking about cutting ties with Finneas. It seemed that she would have to keep her promise to him before she could earn enough money to pay him back.

It seemed that they would never be able to cut ties with each other again.

Jovie was a little worried. She had promised to never be in contact with Finneas again, and now, she was going to break her promise in front of Keane.

In the Loxley Manor, East Villa.

Because of the effects of the drug, the unconscious Keane finally woke up.

Housekeeper Chen, who had received the news at the first possible moment, brought over the ring that Keane had asked him to return to his mistress.

Keane, who was busy dealing with all kinds of work when he woke up, frowned slightly when he heard that Butler Chen had brought Jovie over.

He put down his work and asked someone to bring Butler Chen to the study room.

After Butler Chen handed the mistress's ring to Keane, he told him everything that had happened that day.

Half an hour later.

"Go down first!"

Keane waved Butler Chen away. He leaned on the leather seat with his elbows on the armrest, his hands clenched into fists and pressed against his lips. He looked at the ring box on the table and wondered what he was thinking.

Not long after, Callan came over with a pile of documents that he had to deal with, and he also brought Keane's schedule.

"Young lord, let me confirm your schedule today. You have a temporary video conference in thirty minutes. You need to rush to the airport and take the plane to Jiang City at three o'clock in the afternoon. At seven o'clock in the evening, Director Ludlow of Sent will meet you at the Jiang Jing Pavilion to discuss the cooperation."

"The meeting will be postponed. I want to see the results of the East China project in half an hour."

"Yes, Young Lord."

Just as Callan was about to go out and inform Keane of his orders, he suddenly thought of something and returned to Keane's side with a strange expression.

"Young Lord, the East China project was handed over to Young Master Finneas. However, Young Master Finneas has already left his post and returned to look for 'Angelically girl'. Young Miss Jovie, he hasn't returned to Sea City yet."

After saying that, Callan did not even bother to look at Keane's expression.

On the other hand, Keane was rarely calm. He said in a cold and stern tone, "Send someone to send Finneas back. If he doesn't see the results of the project in half an hour, he will have to bear the consequences!"

He knew that Young Lord was worried that the Young Master Finneas and the 'Angelically girl' would run away. That was why he had sent someone to send Young Master Finneas back to Sea City.

If the 'Angelically girl' really wanted to go with Young Master Finneas, Young Lord wouldn't be able to stop her.

Callan received the order and went out to give the order.

It was the start of another school term.

Jovie stood in the campus, looking at the people coming and going, her mind was filled with thoughts. She was back to her life in the campus, feeling as if she had been separated from the world for a long time.

To her, it was indeed a true 'past life'.

"Jovie, quick, quick, come and help me."

In the distance, a girl in a yellow dress was dragging a suitcase with her boyfriend. She carried a mat and a bucket as she ran towards Jovie.

The petite girl's smile was bright and beautiful, and she looked very youthful. Her round oval face had an indescribable sense of cuteness.

Bianca puffed out her cheeks and rushed towards Jovie with so many things in her hands. Before Jovie could say anything, she stuffed the mattress, bucket, basin, and schoolbag into Jovie's arms.

"Jovie, where have you been all this time? I couldn't contact you for the past few days."

Jovie, who had been treated as a laborer by Bianca, poked her head out of the stuff that Bianca had given her with great difficulty. Her soft and delicate face was filled with awkwardness and a polite smile.

"Excuse me, but can you please leave me some space when you stuff things into my arms next time? I don't want to walk around blindly every time. Thank you."

Jovie chuckled and took out the things from Ivy's arms. She then hung them on her body as if she was serving an Empress.

After making sure that she wouldn't block Jovie's line of sight anymore, she pulled her suitcase and dragged it back to the dormitory.

"You're not blocking my line of sight now, right? Hurry up and tell me why you lost contact with me for so long."

"Did you believe me when I said that I was kidnapped?"

Jovie looked at Bianca's eyes and said seriously.

"I don't believe it. Your Son-in-law-to-be-husband is Young Master Finneas of the Loxley family. Who would dare to kidnap you?"

As always, when faced with Bianca's lively smile, Jovie was undoubtedly satisfied.

This time, she would be able to protect her and protect her liveliness and innocence.

In her previous life, Bianca had to pay a terrible price to help her. She was reduced to a plaything for many people, and in the end, she was thrown into the colosseum to be eaten by wild beasts.

This matter was told to her by Finneas before he died.

Otherwise, she would have been kept in the dark.

She thought that the Ximenes family finally realized their consciences and took Bianca away to study abroad, preparing to take over the company.

"Bianca, actually... Finneas is not my Son-in-law-to-be-husband. He just wants to use me to deal with my real Son-in-law-to-be-husband."

Jovie stopped in her tracks and looked at Bianca with a serious expression. Bianca was shocked by her seriousness.

"What else do you want to say? Why am I so confused?"

Bianca's face was filled with shock. She shook Jovie's arm excitedly and looked at her with a pleading gaze, hoping that she would explain it to her again.

The Loxley family! What kind of existence was that?
