Chapter 25 The morning classes ended quickly , and soon it was time for lunch .. The cafeteria at Wintervale Academy was formerly a five - star luxury hotel called De Leon Hotel . Its spacious and bright lobby , magnificent chandeliers , garden - style design , stained glass windows , and intricately carved pillars were divided into thirty dining areas and private sections . The cafeteria offered a variety of traditional meals and buffets , with ingredients flown in daily - safe , green , and pollution - free . Sponsored admits always dined on the first floor , while the children of conglomerates and officials ate in designated areas . As for the private sections that spanned the entire school , only people from Lucian's circle could enter . Alaric invited Darlene to have lunch together , but before he could finish his sentence , Lucian walked by and dragged him away . " Lucian , what are you doing ? I wasn't finished talking , " Alaric protested reluctantly . Lucian was annoyed . " What were you mumbling about just now ? " " What could I possibly say ? " Alaric looked completely innocent . " I just glanced at Darlene a few more times and invited her to eat with me . Lucian , are you jealous ? " Lucian frowned . Jealous ? Who would he be jealous of ? He just thought Alaric was childish . " Even if I know Darlene , you have no right to bring her into our territory . Stop bothering her . " A little brat living under the shadow of his older brother's glory . Lucian disliked his naivety , and besides , he wasn't as innocent as he looked . These second - generation heirs , always thinking with their lower halves , would fall for any pretty girl at first sight . " She's my study companion . How could you let a study companion sit at the same table as me ? Does that make any sense ? " Lucian's face darkened again , and he gritted his teeth . Alaric pressed his lips together , unwilling to accept it . But in this country , every corner was filled with class distinctions . Class separated people from one another . From the moment they were born , everyone followed this system, never allowed to cross the line . Darlene didn't want to eat with Alaric . She had no desire to interact with them at all , so when Lucian dragged him away , she was glad for the peace and quiet . In the cafeteria , she ordered a glass of milk and two vegetarian dishes with one meat . She had a small appetite and couldn't eat much at lunch , but she ate slowly , chewing every bite carefully . On this floor , across all four grades , there were only a dozen or so sponsored admits . Everyone ate quietly and properly , not disturbing each other . The atmosphere was harmonious . Just as Darlene was about to finish her meal , an unsettling commotion broke the calm . Diagonally in front of her , a delicate - looking girl was gripping another girl's chin from above , smiling as she scrutinized her . Her perfectly manicured nails , sharp as blades , nearly dug into the other girl's flesh . Sonia Clayton was strikingly beautiful , but her words dripped with malice . " Deanna , I was being generous with you , wasn't I ? You're just a penniless sponsored admit , and yet you dare to covet my fiancé ? Do you believe I could ruin you with a single word ? " The girls beside her , wearing golden ID badges on their chests , chimed in , " Aren't you ashamed ? How can you be so shameless ! " " Do you really think someone like you could ever dream of Mr. Desmond ? Look at your status - a lowly commoner who got lucky enough to enter Wintervale Academy . Do you really think you can change your fate ? " " You all see Wintervale Academy as your goal , thinking that getting in here means your dreams will come true ? No , this is your hell .
