Chapter 919
Nicholas smiled but didn’t push the subject any further.
Instead, he pulled out two bags from the back seat.
A boba tea and a slice of cake.
“Mr. Harrison said you skipped lunch today,” Nicholas said, poking a straw into the tea and handing it over to her. “Have this for now. Mrs. Lancaster said she cooked a huge feast herself to celebrate your first day of school p>
Serena took it, biting down on the straw and taking two large gulps.
The sweetness instantly blossomed across her tongue.
The man then unwrapped the cake and set a fork neatly on the side.
Serena really was starving.
She turned her head, looking at the incredibly gentle and doting man beside her, a faint smile touching her lips.
This man truly was attentive to every detail.
She took a few bites of the cake. “Alright, start driving. Let’s get home so the whole family isn’t waiting on us p>
Nicholas started the engine. “Yes, your majesty p>
The car sped off, leaving nothing but dust in its wake.
Bianca happened to catch a glimpse of the car’s taillights just as it disappeared.
What really caught her eye was the fact that the luxury car was obviously a limited edition, likely worth tens of millions of dollars.
Furthermore… very few people in Vaelion City could secure that specific, customized license plate.
Whose car was that?
Bianca frowned, staring intently in the direction the car had vanished, her eyes narrowing in suspicion.
Suddenly, she overheard the gossip buzzing around her.
“I can’t believe a guy that hot is already taken p>
“The girl with him was gorgeous too. Is she a student here? How do I not remember a girl that pretty p>
“She was wearing the Marington College uniform, wasn’t she p>
“I think… she’s way prettier than our Campus Queen. If we had a beauty like that, how could Isabella be the Campus Queen p>
“I know! I heard she’s a drop-in transfer student who just arrived today. They say she got in with special approval from the principal p>
Bianca sharply latched onto that last sentence.
A drop-in student who arrived today?
Special approval from the principal?
Wasn’t that… Serena p>
That country bumpkin actually got into a luxury car like that p>
She actually snagged such a powerful sugar daddy p>
Bianca’s eyes darkened as she stared in that direction, letting out a cold scoff.
She was going to dig up everything she could on this country bumpkin’s sugar daddy!
For the next few days.
Serena lived the life of an ordinary college student.
Her routine was incredibly predictable.
Every day consisted of school, the lab, and then home.
Then school, the lab, and home again.
Or it was school, the lab, another lab, and back to the classroom.
Her schedule was entirely built around these locations.
Meanwhile, the pace in the Vanguard Honors Program was blistering, and the
atmosphere was suffocatingly intense.
Serena clearly stood out as the ultimate anomaly.
Listening to the professor droning on about dry theories at the podium, she couldn’t stop yawning.
Honestly, if it hadn’t been for the fact that ever since she decided to attend Marington College.
The entire Lancaster family had been walking around bursting with pride, looking incredibly moved and acting as if her going to school was their greatest achievement.
Serena was left speechless.
She took a deep breath.
Whatever.
Just so her family could sleep soundly at night without overthinking and constantly worrying about her.
She would just tolerate this whole school thing.
She’d treat it like a vacation.
Serena propped her chin on her hand.
Resting there, her eyes slowly drifted shut, and her head eventually fell to the desk.
Mr. Harrison’s team had cornered
her in

morning. Content bel”
This professor’s lecture was just too effective as a sleep aid p>
But Serena’s blatant habit of sleeping class was completely unacceptable to the Vanguard Honors Program students who wanted to squeeze every last second out of their day.
