One Night Stand With That Beggar

Eddison had been staying in the dormitory, and he was living a frugal lifestyle.

Therefore, no one would have thought he was rich.

Just like the others, Sierra had thought he came from an ordinary family. Since she was being fed new information, she started to doubt her previous thinking.

Regarding the half a million dollars, he might have raised it from other people. However, she had received treatment at the hospital and her parents had come to stay with her with his expenses. She wondered where he had gotten the money from.

Moreover, he didn’t seem to have any difficulties in doing those things.

Perhaps he was really wealthy.

The students were still gossiping, “Could it be possible that your brother is mistaken? Custom-made cars are quite different from the substandard cars in the market, yet we can’t tell the differences between them too.”

“For your information, only a parvenu would want to let the whole world know that he is rich. Those genuinely well-off and powerful families all keep low profiles. In order to inculcate a sense of perseverance in their children and to protect them, they will try their best to make their children look ordinary. However, even so, you should be able to notice that their children are well-mannered because they have been educated in that way since they were young. If you don’t believe me, you can go and investigate yourself.”

Everyone was rather dubious about it.

There was someone who took the opportunity to grab Sierra and question her.

“Sierra, you’re quite close with Eddison. You should know that, right?”

Sierra was also confused, but a person like her would never say directly that she had no idea about his identity.

She just smiled, “It’s his privacy. I shouldn’t talk about it.”

Thus, the surrounding people assumed that she was admitting that Eddison came from a rich family. Some of them started searching for information on Eddison on the Internet.

“With the Internet, we will know everything! Don’t worry, Sierra, we won’t tell others that you’re the one who told us.”

Then, everyone was busy searching for information on Eddison’s identity.

However, they found nothing in the end.

“Those rich families are good at concealing, aren’t they? Is it just that we’re thinking too much into this?”

All of a sudden, someone shouted, “Isn’t this Eddison?”

Everyone went over to that person hurriedly. It was an old news report. It seemed that the Granger family had used their influence to remove it not long after it was published. Therefore, it had failed to attract people’s attention back then.

Nonetheless, the Internet had no boundaries. Hence, there were certain websites that had slipped through the cracks. An example of such websites had been found by someone.

The headline was ‘The future successor of the Valiant East goes abroad to study, and his parents see him off at the airport, reluctant to part with him.’

A picture of Eddison walking towards the security checkpoint was also attached to the article.

The first person who managed to find it became boastful, “The person in the picture is him, right? I was right about him being from a wealthy family!”

Everyone was astonished, “Well, I really didn’t see that coming.”

Someone flattered Sierra again by saying, “He is incredibly wealthy, not to mention he is committed to relationships. Sierra, you should really accept him as your boyfriend. He has been nice to you over the years.”

“That’s right! We can’t stand it anymore. Why would you refuse to be with such a decent guy?”

Sierra was still overwhelmed with shock.

However, she still spoke sheepishly, “I’ve told you that relationships aren’t measured by status. He is indeed nice to me, but I’ve always regarded him as my younger brother in the past.”

“Wow, you’re really different from us! Even those strengths of his are not enough to tempt you.”

“Wait, guys! She is talking about the past, so what about now?”

Sierra lowered her head shyly, “He has been very attentive and caring to me after the accident. I’m very touched, so maybe I’ll consider him carefully.”

“Consider? Come on, strike while the iron is hot! If you don’t, someone else will!”

Sierra refused, “I don’t want to act hastily this time. I think it’s better for me to think about this a bit more.”

A busybody immediately came up with an idea, “Well, you should go on a date with him. Why don’t we hold an event this weekend as a club activity? We can go for a trip and create a romantic atmosphere for you two at night. Then, it will be easy for you two to become an item.”

“That’s a good idea! With such great help from us, Eddison might give me a custom-made car as a gift to express his gratitude later onwards!”

“Quit dreaming! Even if he wants to do that, won’t he give a car to Sierra first?”

“Well then, Sierra, I’m counting on you for a free ride in the future!”

They made a decision in a short time. Sierra lowered her head and slightly smirked. She was delighted that those people had provided favorable conditions for her.

It was just that she was astounded.

She hadn’t expected him to come from a rich family.

If she had found out about it earlier, she wouldn’t have been deceived by that scum, Jairus, and get beaten up by him. She reflected on the miseries of her previous relationship.

More importantly, if she had discovered it earlier, Rachel would have no chance to get together with Eddison. Unfortunately, Rachel posed as an obstacle to her success. As a matter of fact, she didn’t consider Rachel’s existence as a big threat to her.

Nevertheless, she still needed to put in some effort to drive Rachel away from Eddison’s side.

Thinking of that, Sierra gave a venomous grin.

“May I invite my friend to join the activity with us? She’s Rachel Gellert, the new freshman in the other department.”

“It’s up to you!”

“Let’s put up a formal notice and the name list on the noticeboard outside after our lecture. Then, she can see it and join us.”

“Yes, add one more term to it! Whoever is absent will be expelled from the club. This time, we must conjure up a delightful night for Sierra!”

Soon, Rachel saw the notification.

Originally, she was reluctant to attend, but she then saw Eddison’s name.

According to their university’s policies and guidelines, clubs and organizations must not be neglected by the students.

Thus, every student had to participate in the club’s activities and strictly obey the rules set by their respective clubs and organizations. All that would be taken into consideration in the student assessment.

Rachel told herself that she would participate in the event because she wanted to graduate successfully, not because of Eddison or any other factor.

While she was thinking about it, Eddison caught up with her from behind.

“Do you want to join the event?”

Rachel smiled bitterly, “It doesn’t seem like I have the right to refuse.”

“It’s alright. I’ll be keeping you company during the event.”

Rachel replied, “Okay!”

She was willing to give him an opportunity to show his sincerity.

Then, the two of them fell silent. Sierra and her classmates happened to pass by. They had been discussing Eddison’s identity throughout the day. Upon seeing him, they became excited at once.

“It’s such a pity that I’ve never taken a close look at him before this. Actually, he’s quite good-looking!”Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Hey, he’s way more than just good-looking! He’s extremely handsome, isn’t he? He will make a perfect couple with Sierra.”

“Look, isn’t the person standing next to him Rachel? Why do they look close to each other?”

Sierra knitted her brows tightly. She began to explain subconsciously.

She began to explain subconsciously, “Oh, they met each other at my gathering. I suppose they were just exchanging simple greetings?”

At that point, she had already made up her mind. She wouldn’t let anything or anyone, especially Rachel, stand in her way.
