Chapter 155
Jane was unaware of what Connor and Robert were going through. After a night of hard work, she finally completed her mission.
She was in high spirits.
Perhaps it was because of the food Hugh sent.
Or perhaps, there were other reasons.
She was in a beautiful mood.
It was also possible that she was happy because of both reasons.
Jane stretched her limbs lazily and sent the information to Clarence.
She then went onto the bed, intending to catch up on her sleep.
In any case, she had no class the next morning.
Shortly after, Jane was sound asleep. She was dreaming.
She found herself in a pink sea of flowers.
There were pink petals dancing in the sky.
The beautiful place was like a fairyland.
The blue sky and **** formed a background that seemed boundaryless.
Jane did not even have time to think ahead.
Just then, a ray of light appeared.
Someone was tearing into space amidst the sunshine.
It was Hugh.
He flew up to Jane.
His handsome face looked very dignified. He smiled affectionately.
Hugh held Jane’s hand and pulled her into his arms.
Jane seemed to have lost all her strength.
She allowed herself to move in tandem with Hugh.
As she fell into Hugh’s embrace, they resumed kissing.
Soon, the kiss deepened in the dream.
Hugh’s lips seemed sweeter than Jane thought they would be.
Her body reacted instinctively.
She wanted to close her eyes and wrap her arms around Hugh’s neck.
She was drowned in the dream woven by the pink sea of flowers.
She wished she never had to wake up.
The alarm clock woke Jane up.
Rubbing her hair, she got up and looked at the time.
****it!
It was already two o’clock in the afternoon!
She was going to be late.
Jane had always been a light sleeper.
She had never slept so soundly.
In addition, she was behaving intimately with Hugh in the dream.
Embarrassed, Jane rubbed her forehead furiously.
In both of her lives, she was already so old, yet she was still dreaming of being a princess.
Exasperated, Jane figured she must have been possessed.
Since it was too late to go to work, Jane took the afternoon off again.
Just then, Yale sent her a message.
[Jane, Mr. York forwarded the information you send to me. You’ve done really well.]
Jane replied, [Hehe, it’s my honor to be able to help you.]
Yale texted back, [You’re about to participate in the International Students Drawing Competition. Don’t take on any new missions for the time being. Rest well and get ready for the battle.]
Jane said, [Don’t worry, Yale, I won’t let you down. I will definitely win the world championship this time!]
Jane wanted to do it not only for herself but also because Yale pinned all his hopes on her. It was her honor to bring glory to the country.
Yale said, [I believe you can do it, Jane. You are so smart. I’m sure you can do it.]
After chatting with Yale, Jane went on to confirm her next mission with Clarence.
Clarence sent her a text message. [Queen, you completed your mission so quickly this time. It’s already. very helpful to our research. You should rest for a while first.]
Jane insisted, [Mr. York, don’t worry about me. I have a lot of pent-up energy, and I need to expend them. Just send any new mission my way.]
Jane wanted to help Yale’s research on the lithographic machine and break up the monopoly. Crucia’s power in the international arena would rise exponentially then.
Yale was working hard for the country’s glory.
As his junior, Jane could not afford to slack off.
Clarence replied emotionally. [Queen, I’m sorry that we doubted you when you first came to the organization. If…]
[Mr. York, you are right to suspect me. Anyone in your position would do the same.
[It’s fine now since all your suspicions have been dispelled. Right now, I just want to be like Yale and do my part for the country. That’s all.]
The two of them smiled and made peace.
University of Oricle’s freshman welcome party was approaching.
That day, Jane just finished her class.
Lila gave Jane a strawberry-flavored lollipop.
There was a sly smile on Lila’s face.
“What’s the matter? Why are you smiling so happily?”
Jane took the lollipop and licked it.
It tasted very sweet.
“Janie, let me tell you something. Madelyn’s speech had been canceled. What pleasant news!”
Lila leaned close to Jane. She almost could not hold back her laughter.
“Huh?”
Jane was surprised.
She had been very busy with her training of late. Besides, she had been very focused on completing her
mission.
Jane did not pay much attention to news in the University of Oricle,
In her previous life, Madelyn was the center of attraction at the freshmen welcome party.
During the party, a media company noticed her.
They had good reviews of Madelyn’s performance at large-scale dinners.
Madelyn was good-looking and had a good figure. In addition, she also had the Fowler family backing
her up.
The media company lost no time in wooing Madelyn aggressively in hope that she would launch her career with them.
Before Jane died, Madelyn had already broken into the entertainment industry.
She had a few hit series such as “The Zen Girls”, “***Girls”, and “Big Eaters”.
She was very popular and was known as one of the four new-generation stars.
Of course, Jane had to admit one thing. Madelyn’s acting skills were indeed top-notch.
In addition, she had several male friends in the entertainment industry as well as the Fowler family’s influence.
Even a lousy singer could easily get into the C-list.
Madelyn, an ambitious and talented woman would definitely be able to achieve more.
“Of course, they did not say Madelyn’s performance was canceled. The reason why Madelyn’s freshman speech was canceled was because of the incident involving the Fowler family. They felt that Madelyn’s speech will have an impact on the school.
“Besides, didn’t Mr. Lance give you Madelyn’s spot in the national drawing competition? You even won the championship. Now you are going to take part in an international competition.
“The school must be trying to ***up to you. You cut ties with the Fowler family, and things had been strained between the both of you. If you really win the world championship, Madelyn will lose all credibility in Oricle.”
The more Lila said, the more excited she became.
She liked to insult Madelyn, that ***.
It felt so gratifying.
“Janie, I believe in you. You will definitely win the world championship!
“Good luck! Destroy that angelic ***, Madelyn Fowler!”
Lila’s eyes were gleaming with pride. She clenched her fists, feeling hopeful for the future.
Jane smiled and did not answer.
The International Students Drawing Competition would be held a week after the freshman welcome
party.
The organizers of the international competition planned to hold the competition before Christmas. Jane would travel with Mr. Lance to Meridonia by flight.
This time, she would definitely return with the world championship trophy. She would bring glory to the country. Yale would be so proud of her.
At this moment, Prof. Henderson entered the classroom.
“Jane, I’ve been looking for you for a long time.”
Raising her eyebrows, Jane stood up. “Prof. Henderson, what can I do for you?”
“The freshman welcome party is approaching. The professors have unanimously voted for you to give a speech to the new students as a senior and as an outstanding representative of the University of Oricle.”
