Chapter 206
Behind Jade, another classmate followed.
In the middle of the most lively moment, a sudden sound was heard as someone accidentally slipped
into the water.
"Crap, Jade's fallen into the water!" Someone suddenly yelled out.
Mia quickly turned her head towards the pool. Jade was still clothed and struggling in the water. She
opened her mouth, and countless small bubbles escaped from her nose and mouth. Her eyes couldn't
open, as doing so would cause pain. She tried to grab onto something, but couldn't find her footing in
the water.
Jade closed her eyes, intending to call out to Mia, but a memory flashed in her mind. "Brother, don't
sleep, I'm scared."
"Don't cry, Molly, I'll protect you," a bloodied boy held her tight.
Her dress was also stained with blood, and the boy looked eerily like Andre.
Jade shook her head, her mind filled with an endless ocean, an unfathomable abyss, and in the midst
of the sea, she cried out in despair. "Brother, save me, I'm scared."
Her arm hurt and there was a taste of blood in her mouth. She couldn't utter a word in the water.
On the shore, Mia shouted, "Leo, Jade's fallen into the water."
She took off her own cotton jacket as she walked.
Leo was tipsy, his face red. Upon hearing Mia's words, he started coughing. He saw the girl in the pool,
and he rushed over, pushing Mia away just as she was about to jump in. And then he plunged into the
icy water himself.
He saw Jade, who was still struggling in the water, swam over and helped her keep her head above the
water.
Pete hadn't had the chance to save her before Leo jumped in. Leo didn't hesitate to jump into the water
in his shirt, not bothering about the cold water or how much he'd had to drink.
Jade's head resurfaced. She coughed violently as Leo guided her to the side.
Mia knelt down and pulled the soaking wet Jade out of the water, wrapping her in the down jacket she'd
just removed. Then, she bent down to help pull Leo out of the water as well.
Her hand touched the water, feeling the biting cold. She wanted to pull her hand back, but she knew
they must be even colder. Jade also crawled to the shore to help Mia pull Leo out.
People around stopped drinking and started heading towards the pool.
Leo got out of the water, Mia looked at them worriedly.
Leo was shivering from the cold, and he asked Jade, "Are you drunk? You can't swim, why did you go
to the pool?"
Jade glared at Pete's friend, "Carl, why did you push me just now?"
Carl saw that the rescuer was Leo who'd had over a dozen drinks, while Pete was slower than Leo
who'd been drinking all along. He looked at Pete, and Pete looked at Leo, his heart filled with rage.
What was supposed to be a good opportunity was ruined by him. He spent half a million dollars
drinking with Guz, only to have Jade saved by Leo.
Through the pusher's perspective, Mia saw Pete in the back again, the hatred for Leo in his eyes was
clear to see.
Mia clenched her tiny fists. The dissatisfaction and anger inside her could no longer be suppressed.
She walked up to Carl, punched him in the face, tripped him when he was off guard, and pushed him
into the icy pool.
She didn't stop there, turned around to find Pete, grabbed his hair and punched him in the stomach a
few times. Before he could react, she also pushed him into the freezing pool, letting them experience
the feeling of being hit by cold water.
Mia brushed off the loose hair on her cheek, pointed at the two in the water, and warned gritting her
teeth, "Remember this, both of you." She quickly took Jade and Leo back to the hotel to change and
shower.
What was supposed to be a fun get-together took a sudden turn. Everyone stopped partying and
hurried to the hotel to check on their classmates.
Leo and Jade each had a room, so Mia reminded Leo, "You've had too much to drink, don't take a bath.
Just go lie down after you shower, and leave a room card for me. I'll come check on you."
She took Jade, who was soaked and had lips turning white from the cold, to another room. Once in the
room, she quickly helped Jade take off clothes.
"Carl and Pete, they're such jerks. Wait till my brother comes. I'll let my brother and my dad deal with
them," Jade said angrily.
Mia frowned, feeling the need to get her husband involved. After helping Jade undress, bite marks on
her arm were revealed. Mia grabbed her arm, examining the bite mark closely. "Jade, didn't you get this Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.
scar removed at the dermatologist?"
Jade shook her head. She pulled her arm back, stepped into the bathtub, turned on the water heater
and started showering. Her body was as cold as ice, and the hot water pouring over her felt like
countless blades cutting her skin.
In a state of extreme cold, when the skin came into contact with hot water, it could be painful.
Mia wet a towel with hot water and gently draped it over Jade's smooth back.
"Mia, I'll give you my brother's number. Can you call him and ask him to bring some clothes?"
"Sure."
Mia took out her phone and started contacting Chad. Then she needed to contact her own husband.
Inside the hotel, Leo, Pete, and Carl all emerged from their showers, feeling warm again. Leo, upon
seeing that they were okay, approached Pete in an agitated state. He grabbed Pete's collar and picked
up the hotel's ashtray, seemingly about to hit him.
"Leo, don't lose your cool. It wasn't Pete who pushed her, calm down."
"Quick, separate them. This was supposed to be a happy reunion, we don't want a anything to
happen."
The classmates tried to break them apart, but Leo's grip wouldn't loosen. Finally, it was Andre's
commanding voice that stopped the agitated Leo.
"Stop." Andre, who'd come to deliver clothes, walked towards the group of classmates, frowning.
Everyone was shocked. They hadn't expected to see the legendary Andre here of all places!
This was the real Andre. He was actually here.
Pete also looked at the man who sudden appeared. He immediately stood up, hoping to make a good
impression in front of Andre, so that when he took over his own company in the future, Andre would
have a good impression of him. If he was lucky, he might even have a chance to collaborate with
Cedillo Inc.
Andre walked into the middle of the crowd and stopped.
Everyone looked at the man who'd suddenly appeared in astonishment. Was he just passing by, or did
he come here on purpose?
Leo's eyes darted around when he spotted Andre. Busted by him once again. He ditched the ashtray
he was holding, and it rolled around on the hotel's carpet.
"Andre," Leo called out.
Andre looked at his nephew who was ready to throw down in his pajamas. He handed Leo the bag he
was carrying, "Get dressed before you start a fight."
Everyone was shocked, couldn't believe what they were seeing between Leo and Andre.
What was the deal with these two?
