Cheyenne couldn't help but feel a little bit speechless by her grandfather's boasting. Was he really claiming to know someone as prestigious as Professor Yvonne? After all, she was only ever seen on television screens like some sort of goddess.
Layne started to wonder if he had been living too low-key a life that even his own granddaughter thought he was just bragging.
"Ha ha, Grandpa... you don't seem to understand how society works these days. My sister just got into a very ordinary university back then," Nora said with a look of contempt, "It's impossible for Professor Yvonne to take on Cheyenne as her student."
"How is that impossible? Back when Yvonne was still a young girl, she begged me to take her as my apprentice... and now it's been over twenty years." Layne's face showed a hint of nostalgia and upon closer inspection, there was even a slight shyness in his eyes.
Cheyenne noticed that when her grandfather mentioned Professor Yvonne, his expression became somewhat unnatural.
Her grandfather was almost seventy years old! And Professor Yvonne could only be around forty-five this year!
The Edwards family used to be just as prominent in Onistead as the Todd family is today. When George met Selah, most of the Edwards family members had passed away or left.
Only a few members were left struggling in Akloit.
Despite this fact, these few people managed to build the Edwards family into one of Akloit's most prestigious families back then.
Selah's death robbed Layne of his fighting spirit and caused the Edwards family to decline into its current state today.
To be honest, it would be impossible for anyone from the Mitchell family not to feel envious.
Malaya licked her lips and greed shone brightly in her eyes.
"Miss Lawrence is so lucky," Emmanuel said politely with an affectionate look towards Cheyenne. "I wonder if Miss Lawrence has time later? I'd like to invite you out for a movie!"
Upon hearing this, Cheyenne shook her head without hesitation and waved her delicate hand in front of him.
"Nope, I'm going to meet the Todd family's young master later," she said with a sweet smile.
The Todd family! Another top-tier wealthy family!
Nora widened her eyes and unconsciously clenched the hand that was resting on her school uniform skirt.
Her breath caught in her throat.
When did this little bitch get involved with the Todd family?
It was rumored that Iker had been disabled three years ago, leaving his title as a war god vacant for three years. Although he had lost his military rank, Iker was still considered one of Akloit's most prominent rich kids. However, unlike others in his position, he hadn't left home for three years. It was also rumored that he was extremely violent, moody and never touched women.
So why would someone like him agree to meet Cheyenne, a dirty abandoned woman?
George felt an indescribable desire rise up within him. It seemed like there was a flame constantly burning within his heart.
If they could gain the protection of the Todd family, then surely their status in Akloit would soar even higher than before - perhaps even surpassing the Foley family!
"Cheyenne, when did you meet the young master of the Todd family? Why don't I know about it?" George smiled kindly at her, his wrinkles deepened.
