Kara contacted Eli on WeChat, and they made an appointment to meet behind the school corridor. Eli was a good-looking man. Although he wore a very ordinary school uniform, he still attracted the attention of many girls. Upon receiving Kara's message, he excitedly arrived at the appointed place. But when he heard that she wanted to return the notebook to him, he pulled a long face. "I won't take back the things I gave away. "Eli, I really appreciate your kindness. However, sow nothing, reap nothing. I'll give it back to you. Kara pursed her lips and held the notebook in both hands, insisting on returning it to him. Eli was slightly annoyed, and he did not take the notebook. "If you want to thank me, you can give me a thing as a small gift between friends. Kara blinked. This was not the result she wanted. "You have a ball-point pen with a little rabbit's pen case. It's very cute. How about giving it to me?". Kara stared at him warily. That ball-point pen was a birthday present that her father had customized for her. She hadn't used it since her father died. But every time she saw it, she would miss her father. But how did he know about that ball-point pen?. Rose, who was passing by the corridor, saw Kara and Eli standing together and stopped in surprise. She was jealous. Her eyes flashed with joy. She took out her phone, adjusted the angle, and took a few photos. In these photos, Kara and Eli seemed to be whispering something intimately. As Rose stared at these photos, she gave a smug but ferocious smile. When Eli heard Kara reject his request, he did not get angry. He said with a smile, "You can give me other gifts. Kara bit her lips. She wasn't good at rejecting others and didn't know what to do. "Eli, there's no need for gifts between friends. This notebook. "There's no need. However, it doesn't mean that I couldn't give you a gift. I'm willing to do it. Eli chuckled. He knew she was good-tempered. Kara was speechless. Kara blinked her eyes. She didn't know what to say. She didn't know how to refute. 'Eli has proved himself to be a straight-A student. He's really eloquent!'. "Kara, take the notebook and revie w your lessons carefully

We'll talk ab out it after the college entrance exam. After the colle ge entrance exam, he would profess to her. He was confident t hat she would be willin g to be his girlfriend. Kara lowered her head and went back to the classroom. She felt limp. Arya asked if the problem was solved. Kara sh ook her head helplessly and threw the notebook on the table. In the past, Arya only suspected that Eli liked Kar a, but now Arya was certain. Eli want ed to make a pass at Kara! . Elias, Eli's father, was the fourth young master of the Hemmi ngs. He was the mayor of City L. Therefore, Eli had a high social s tatus and his reputation was good. If he could take care of Kara. "Don't be discouraged. What Eli said is not wrong. He said that the most important thing right now is the college entrance exam. Perhaps he really just wants to make friends with you. You can tell Mr. James that you on ly want to take the college entrance exam and enter University, and have no energy to think about other things. Kara nodded and decided to d o what Arya said. After school, Eli was about to ride his bicycle h ome, but a girl stopped him. She st ated, "You like Kara. Eli blushed, but he still wore a long face, asking, "Wha t does it have to do with you?" . "Don't you know that Kara and I are re latives? I have to take care of her. You spe cially wrote notes for her. How thoughtful!" . Hearing Rose's mock ery, Eli was on guard, " What do you want to do?" . "I have photos of you and Kara. If I tell th e Quains about your puppy love affair with Kara, t he Quains will definitely not let Kara go, right?" . Rose gloated gr ound to smile with h er phone in her hand. "If her family know she falls in love with someone at school, they would definitely teach her a lesson. Perhaps Madam Quain will be very angry and not allow her to come to school. Then, it would be difficult for you to see her. Eli liked Kar a, so he definitel y knew the Quains. Everyone who had come into contact with Linda knew that she wa s not only petty but also liked to profit herself at the expense of others. It was not uncommon for Kara to be beaten up by her before. Eli clenched his fists t ightly and frowned. He didn't want to get Kara into trouble. "What do you wa nt to do?" . Rose didn't beat around the bush after she heard Eli's words. "Gi ve me th e money!" . In the past, the Quains would give her hundreds o f pocket money every month. But ever since Adam hugged her that night, Sophia had always been picking on her. During the week when she went back to recuperate, Sophia asked her to do housework every da y. She was very tired, but she didn't get a dime. The most hateful thing was that her family agr eed to give her 1, 000, but they hadn't given it to her yet

She could only borrow money online. She bought a bag and used up the money borrow ed online. Repayment time was almost up, but she h ad no money. Therefore, she chose to blackmail Eli. When Eli heard her request, he was somewhat surprised. However, h e straightened out his thinking very soon. The Quains treated Kara bad ly, and it was normal that this so-called relative treated Kara badly. Thinking of Kara hav ing such a relative, he fe lt even more pity for her. "How much do you want?" . Rose was happy when she heard his word s. Just now, she only wanted to scare him, but she didn't expect him to give her money. "Give m e one hundre d thousand!" . Eli was angry but laughed. His eyes flashed with anger. 'One hundr ed thousand! It's daylight robbery. "Oka y, give m e photos!" . Kara returned to the vil la after school and stared at the phone in the living room. 'Uncle James called me when he was on a business trip last time. Will he call me this time?' . She waited for two days, but she did not receive Jame s' call. Her spirits drooped. "Miss Kara, if you miss Mr. James, you can c all him. " Seeing that Kara was staring at the pho ne all the time, Libby smiled and encouraged her. "Mr. James is busy with his work. Sometimes, he doesn' t even have enough time to have meals. That's why he suffer s from stomach disease. If you miss him, you can call him. "C an I pho ne him?" . Kara pursed her lips, h er long eyelashes trembling. She decided to phone James. Since she wanted to apologi ze, she should take the initiati ve to contact him, shouldn't she? . Libby said, "Of course. You can call Mr. James and remind h im not to forget to have meals. Kara nodded. After dinner, she returned to he r bedroom and took out her telephone. She was so n ervous that she could feel the sweat in her hands. She had got herse lf all psyched up and found his phone number. She took a deep breath and d ialed his number. Every seco nd of her waitin g was suffering. Finally, the phone was co nnected. It was not James who a nswered the phone, but a woman
