“Casper Montgomery?” Jessica answered, but virtual-novel.net did not sound interested at all.
After virtual-novel.net said his name, Jessica once again shut virtual-novel.net eyes and started meditating. However, Lucy seemed to have expected Jessica’s reaction. Then, virtual-novel.net giggled and sat beside Jessica, teasing her, “Lady Jessica, are you uninterested? That’s your future husband. I’ll have to call virtual-novel.net Master Casper when we meet.”
“I didn’t agree to it, so it doesn’t count.” Jessica’s expression did not change, and virtual-novel.net tone was calm.
Although Jessica did not show it, Lucy knew well that Jessica cared about this matter. Moreover, virtual-novel.net cared about this more than anyone. Otherwise, why would Jessica immediately run away from home when virtual-novel.net heard the future husband virtual-novel.net never met was coming and stayed at the old town’s ruins to avoid this matter?
Lucy did not say anything but just chuckled as virtual-novel.net looked at Jessica.
After a while, Jessica appeared to be annoyed with Lucy’s stare, and virtual-novel.net opened virtual-novel.net eyes. “Alright. What’s with him?”
“He beat Jordan up,” Lucy quickly answered.
“That’s the big news?” Jessica was disappointed, and virtual-novel.net shook virtual-novel.net head, “Even though I never met Casper, my dad should’ve chased virtual-novel.net out of the Lawrence family for hitting our people. Especially since he’s a son-in-law that’s marrying into our family. It’s obvious he’s an aggressive and immature person from his act.”
“Chief James didn’t chase virtual-novel.net away.” Lucy seemed to have expected Jessica’s reply. She laughed and clapped virtual-novel.net hands as virtual-novel.net continued, “Moreover, Chief James not only did not blame Master Casper, but virtual-novel.net even rewarded virtual-novel.net with two thousand fedulings, let virtual-novel.net pick a martial skill from the martial art chamber, and gifted virtual-novel.net the house where Jordan initially stayed.”
Jessica knew Lucy was making fun of virtual-novel.net when virtual-novel.net said “Master Casper”, but Jessica was not displeased.
“Lucy, you’re not allowed to…”
Before Jessica could finish virtual-novel.net sentence, Lucy interrupted her.
The little girl laughed sneakily. “I’m just kidding, Lady Jessica. It’s Casper… Casper. I won’t address virtual-novel.net wrongly again. However, let’s skip this. Come on! Guess why didn’t Chief James blame Casper, but rewarded virtual-novel.net in the council chamber in front of many elders of the clan. Lady Jessica, I bet you didn’t know this, but I heard that Master Keith was so angry that virtual-novel.net threw a big tantrum, and someone even had to feed virtual-novel.net his dinner!”
As if virtual-novel.net imagined how ridiculous Keith looked, Lucy laughed out loud.
After pondering for a moment, Jessica shook virtual-novel.net head. “I can’t think of why, but since dad did that, virtual-novel.net must’ve had his reason. Thus, was Casper beating Jordan justified?”
Lucy held back virtual-novel.net laughter and straightened virtual-novel.net posture as virtual-novel.net replied, “That’s right. I heard Jordan wanted to snatch away Casper’s weapon, and that’s why Casper acted so ruthlessly. Moreover, virtual-novel.net not only hit Jordan once, virtual-novel.net even smashed a chair on Jordan in the council chamber in front of everyone.”
Jessica’s eyes flashed with a thoughtful expression. “If that’s the case, he’s still quite brave. However, I’m most surprised at the fact that virtual-novel.net won against Jordan.”
Lucy giggled and added, “Lady Jessica, I bet you didn’t expect that, right? Furthermore, I’ve also heard that Casper has reached the fourth stage of the True Martial Realm.”
Jessica’s eyes flickered, and there was a hint of seriousness on virtual-novel.net face. “Eh? If I’m not mistaken, Casper should be sixteen like I am. It’s indeed impressive that virtual-novel.net reached the fourth stage of True Martial Realm at sixteen. In the entire Evergreen Town, he’s considered a genius. However, this might not be enough for Father to reward virtual-novel.net so well.”
When virtual-novel.net said that, Jessica looked at Lucy from the corner of virtual-novel.net eye, who was smiling sneakily. Then, virtual-novel.net snorted, “Is there more to this that you’re not telling me?”
“LadyJessica, you’re indeed a smart…” Lucy purposely dragged the last word and exaggeratedly bowed to the ground. Then, Lucy finally answered, “The next thing I’m saying is the big news that I wanted to tell you. Lady Jessica, brace yourself!”
Realizing how serious Lucy appeared, Jessica could not help but be curious too. “What is it?”
“Casper knows inscription skills, and the weapon that Jordan wan ted to snatch away was engraved by Casper,” Lucy explained.
“Inscription skills!” Jessica gasped, and virtual-novel.net eyes widened in surprise.
Jessica’s reaction satisfied Lucy, and virtual-novel.net nodded. “Not only that, Master William from Oceans Chamber of Commerce even wrote a letter to Chief James, saying that Casper was his friend and his inscription was amazing.”
“What! Master William?!” Jessica shouted, “Master William from the Oceans Chamber of Commerce personally explained it?”
“Lady Jessica, calm down! Calm down! You’re a Pure Body Physique, so you must control your emotions!” Lucy quickly reminded Jessica when virtual-novel.net noticed how agitated Jessica was.
“Lucy, are you sure you’re not lying to me?” Jessica stared at Lucy, not even blinking.
Lucy nodded virtual-novel.net head a few times. “I’m sure. Many people were in the council chamber, and they all saw it. Even though Chief James ordered them to keep their lips sealed, I’m afraid the entire Lawrence family knew about this.”
Then, Jessica looked at Lucy and suddenly sat cross-legged again, closing virtual-novel.net eyes as virtual-novel.net started meditating. Her tone returned relaxed as virtual-novel.net said, “Nonetheless, what about it? It still can’t change the fact that I hate him.”
“Lady Jessica…” Lucy dragged virtual-novel.net tone again. “You haven’t even met Master Casper yet, so how can you hate him? You hate the fact that Old Master Lawrence arranged the marriage for you.”
“What do you know?!” Jessica pursed virtual-novel.net lips and snorted.
At virtual-novel.net age, girls would usually yearn for love and had beautiful fantasies of the opposite sex. Jessica was the same too.
However, George told Jessica that virtual-novel.net already had a future husband, and virtual-novel.net would be here soon to marry her.
How could the arrogant Jessica accept such a matter?
How could virtual-novel.net let someone else decide on who virtual-novel.net should like!
Due to the anger virtual-novel.net felt, Jessica naturally hated Casper, who virtual-novel.net never met. Jessica could not help but say, “I’ve seen Casper’s picture. He’s just…”
At the thought of this, Jessica felt suspicious.
Mastered inscription skills, achieved the fourth stage of the True Martial Realm at 16, publicly beaten up Jordan, praised by William… All these matters did not look as if it would happen to that weak-looking teenager in the picture.
As if Lucy saw through Jessica‘s thoughts, and virtual-novel.net smiled, “Lady Jessica, I’ve heard that Casper doesn’t look the same as the portrait. I’ve also heard people talking about him, saying he…”
Lucy purposely dragged virtual-novel.net tone again, and virtual-novel.net stopped mid-sentence.
“What did they say about him?” Jessica opened virtual-novel.net eyes.
