EuropeNovelChapter 350
Perhaps out of embarrassment, Tom avoided interacting with me. But in all other matters, he treatedthe
sas everyone else. He no longer singledout or made things difficult for me.
However, Roger still treatedmuch more harshly and coldly than the others. For example, leaving class to
take a phone call-who in the class hadn't done that?
Yet, whenever | did it, even though it was only a couple of times, | always got scolded precisely for it, while no
one else seemed to face any consequences.
Once outside, | picked up the phone, and Mason's excited voice cthrough. "Mr. White, good news! After | left
that real estate agent hanging all night, he couldn't take it anymore and called this morning, agreeing to drop
the price to 300 thousand dollars."
"Good. Let's go ahead and sign the deal."
"Mr. White, can't we wait a bit longer? If you giveone more week, | can get him to reduce the price to 200

| shook my head. "There's no need. Wasting another week for 200 thousand dollars isn't worth it. Just buy it now.
| want to inspect the property today."
"Understood. I'll contact him and handle the signing," Mason said.
After hanging up, a weight lifted off my shoulders.
With the property issue resolved, | could now take care of Jane's accommodation and transport, so | wouldn't
have to worry about her attending classes anymore.
But managing such a large building, whether for renting or other uses, wouldn't be easy. If | did it myself, | would
probably be overwhelmed and make many mistakes.
| thought about calling Mason to arrange for staff, but I felt bad since | had been asking him for a lot of help
lately. After considering it, | decided to post job openings on a recruitment website instead.
| needed someone to helpmanage the building.
Even for the recruitment interviews, | wasn't ready to handle everything myself. After thinking it over, | ended up
calling Sophia.
She had a good relationship with Jane and cared about her a lot. She was Victor's daughter and had made
mistakes before. | believed that it was tfor her to gain sexperience.
| handed the interview and building management tasks over to her.
Sophia was extremely happy when she received the call and repeatedly promisedthat she would do a good
job and not letdown. That madefeel completely at ease.
When | returned to the classroom, Benjamin immediately asked me, "Why does Mr. Hopkins still target you?"
"Who knows?"
"Being targeted by him isn't necessarily a bad thing. Every person he flatters meets a terrible fate! Don't you
remember how he used to like Joshua? Now Joshua's completely disappeared!"
When Joshua's nwas mentioned, | suddenly remembered seeing him at the
Morgan residence stago. | couldn't help but feel curious. So, | sent Crystal a message.
Me: "Do you know Joshua? Is he working as an escort for your aunt?"
She replied soon after.
Crystal: "Yes. Everyone in the family knows about it. My aunt's husband died early, and she didn't want to
remarry. She's been having fun with various men, and Joshua was just one of her lovers."
| was stunned by the term "lover".
Me: "Is your aunt still in contact with him?"
Crystal: "I'm not sure. If you really want to know, | can ask her.
Me: "It's fine. | was just asking because he is a classmate of ours. I'm unsure if he dropped out or took a leave of
absence, but he hasn't been around school for a long time."
Crystal: "I see. | don't know much about him, but I've heard from my mom that he seems to be a male escort at
sclub catering to rich women. My aunt probably supported him for a year."
