Chapter 171 A Celebratory Announcement

Finished

Anya caught sight of the small black devices in his hand All the explanations and pleas she’d prepared died in her throat.

After the Locke family nanny arrived and Elian left, she collapsed onto the edge of the bed, her gaze vacant

with terror.

Elian went straight to his office after leaving the hospital. Passing the executive assistant area, he said, “Come to my office.”

Yvonne, still wracked with guilt over giving Liana a fake itinerary, had no choice but to follow him in, suppressing her nerves.

“I need a celebratory announcement released through the Locke Group’s official channels immediately,” Elian said flatly.

“Yes, sir.” Yvonne responded with professional efficiency

When he didn’t continue after a few seconds, she ventured, “Mr. Locke, what is the announcement regarding?”

Elian was searching for a number on his phone. Hearing her, he put the phone to his ear. “Are you back yet? I’ll have my grandma bring you directly to the school. Appreciate it.”

He hung up and turned to Yvonne. “On the twenty-eighth next month, Liana and I are getting married.”

“Yes, sir.”

A spark of relief and energy shot through Yvonne. She immediately set to work.

Inside Summit High School, Jett was keeping an eye on Liana.

Dressed in blue jeans and a white button-down, he looked like a young teacher, blending in easily. The only attention he drew was due to his striking looks.

But his focus was entirely on Liana.

He watched her chatting with colleagues downstairs and noticed Quentin.

Anya had said Quentin had feelings for Liana. It seemed true.

When Quentin was near Liana, he sat far away, holding himself back, then couldn’t help sneaking glances at her.

Jett thought of one word-simp!

Watching Quentin’s quiet, longing looks, Jett was suddenly reminded of his own behavior around Anya. when they were with their friends. His face darkened.

They were all just pitiful fools, suffering from love’s torment.

The thought made him feel worse, and he almost lost focus.

Chapter 171 A Celebratory Announcement

A voice pulled him from his self-pity.

“Isn’t that the Baird boy?”

It was Rosalind, accompanied by a gentleman with an air of sophisticated elegance.

When Jett looked her way, Liana also noticed the older woman-and spotted him.

“Mrs. Locke, what brings you here?” Jett put on an awkward but obedient smile and greeted her.

“And you? Which lovely young lady has caught your eye this time?” Rosalind asked, glancing toward the group of teachers.

From a distance, several of the female teachers were quite attractive. But she wasn’t fooled; she knew that wasn’t why he was here.

“Grandma. what brings you to the school?” Liana asked cheerfully, walking over.

She was genuinely happy to see her here.

“Missed you. That a good enough reason?”

Rosalind patted the hand Liana had looped through he arm.

“Of course it is.”

Liana was delighted. As long as Elian wasn’t with her, she was pleased.

She glanced at the gentleman beside Rosalind, about to ask, when someone else approached.

Suddenly, the area outside the junior high building felt crowded.

The principal and several staff members came forward to greet them. “Mrs. Locke, what an honor to have you visit Summit High.”

“Save the flattery-I’m not here for this.” Rosalind tossed the jab.

The principal chuckled awkwardly but persisted. “You’re as sharp as ever. Please, come to the office.”

“Mhm. Young man, care to join us?” Rosalind agreed, then glanced at Jett.

“I’ll pass. I heard Summit’s got a deep history. I just came to take it in and head out, Mrs. Locke,” Jett said.
