Chapter 22 Become A Target

The three had barely returned inside when Iris’s phone rang.

Vice Principal Harris.

“Miss Noir, there’s a small issue.” His voice sounded apologetic. “Each senior class has a fixed enrollment limit, and most of them are already full. Would you be willing to join Foundation Class?”

Then he quickly added,

“It’s generally considered the least academically demanding class.”

“That’s fine.” Iris didn’t hesitate.

The vice principal released a breath of relief.

Several homeroom teachers had refused to accept a transfer student with Iris’s record.

In the end, Foundation Class had been the only option.

Eleanor frowned.

“Only Foundation Class has room?”

She remembered hearing less-than-flattering things about it.

“Elite’s class has the best teachers and resources. If you’d rather be there, I can speak with the principal.”

Money wasn’t an issue.

If her daughter wanted something, she’d make it happen.

Iris shook her head.

“It doesn’t matter where I study.”

If anything, the top classes would be inconvenient.

Teachers in those classes paid too much attention.

Taking time off or handling her own projects would become far more difficult.

“Then we’ll do whatever makes you happy,” Eleanor said immediately.

When Chloe returned home from school that afternoon, the first thing she noticed was the enormous field of white hydrangeas.

After hearing the details from one of the housemaids, she nearly lost control of her expression.

Her parents had planted an entire garden for Iris.

An entire garden.

The maid quickly stepped in.

“Miss Chloe, there’s no reason to worry. Your flower garden has been here for years. It’s different.”

Chloe forced herself to relax.

“You’re right.” She managed a smile. “It’s only flowers.”

But that night she barely slept.

Lying in bed, she stared at the ceiling for a long time before finally reaching for her phone.

One by one, she opened several private group chats.

Then she began typing.

At St. Grace Medical Center, Emma Barclay sat cross-legged on her hospital bed, happily playing with a stuffed teddy bear.

Across the room, Ares Barclay worked quietly on his laptop.

“Uncle Ares, I’m hungry.”

Without looking up, he replied,

“You finished an entire box of egg tarts twenty minutes ago.”

Emma puffed out her cheeks. “I’m a growing child.”

She hugged the teddy bear tighter.

“Growing children need lots of food.”

Growing.

The word triggered an unexpected thought.

Ares suddenly remembered Iris.

The twenty-year-old’s slender figure flashed through his mind.

She was still growing too, wasn’t she?

Maybe she should eat more.

The next morning, Richard had the family driver take both girls to Capital Preparatory Academy.

The moment Iris stepped into Foundation Class, the room fell silent.

Every head turned.

Their homeroom teacher, Ms. Taylor, offered a brief introduction.

“This is Iris Noir. She’ll be joining us for the final three months before graduation. Let’s all work hard together.”

A few students immediately started clapping.

“Welcome!”

“Nice to meet you!”

Several boys looked completely stunned.

She was gorgeous.

Then a voice cut sharply through the room.

“Will you idiots keep it down?”

A boy sprawled across the back row didn’t even bother opening his eyes.

His feet rested on the desk in front of him.

“Some people are trying to sleep.”

The applause stopped instantly.

The entire classroom went quiet.

Like someone had flipped a switch.

Ms. Taylor sighed inwardly.

The boys occupying the back row all came from influential families.

She was a young teacher with no powerful connections.

There wasn’t much she could do.

After assigning Iris a seat near the back, she left.

Her desk partner was a cheerful girl with a high ponytail and soft curls.

The girl immediately leaned closer.

“You’re seriously beautiful.” She grinned. “I’m Sophie Bennett. Nice to meet-

“Sophie.”

A cold voice interrupted.

“Who said you could talk to her?”

The sleeping boy finally sat up. He removed the textbook covering his face and fixed Sophie with a hard stare.

She immediately lowered her head.

Before doing so, she winked twice at Iris.

The boy slammed his book onto the desk.

The loud crack echoed through the room.

“So you’re Iris Noir.” His gaze turned icy. “Let me make something very clear.”

He leaned back in his chair.

“Starting today, anyone who speaks to her answers to me.”

The room fell silent.

Everyone knew exactly who he was.

Mason Reed.

The school board chairman’s son.

Arrogant.

Unreasonable.

Untouchable.

Students who got on his bad side rarely lasted the semester.

Sympathetic looks immediately appeared around the classroom.

Poor girl.

She’d barely arrived and already become his target.
