Humbling Brad
Mary Jane, who had been standing silently beside Brad, finally spoke up. Her voice was tight and defensive."That's not fair, Daisy. Brad's family has been climbing the ranks for years. His father has connections, influence—"Daisy turned her gaze to Mary Jane, and the look in her eyes made the temperature in the room drop several degrees."Mary Jane," she said sweetly. "I don't recall asking for your opinion. But since you're so eager to speak, let me remind you of something."She took a step closer to Mary Jane, who instinctively stepped back."You're the cheap whore who left Andrew Volkov for this oil baron's son." Daisy gestured dismissively at Brad. "Everyone in this room knows what you are. A gold digger."The room gasped in shock at how hard she came for Mary Jane. Even Arthur did not expect it. But Daisy wasn't done. "I might not like Andrew, but if it weren't for him, you wouldn't be talking to me."Mary Jane's face flushed crimson. Her mouth opened and closed, but no words
Brad and Mary Jane
Arthur looked at Daisy White for a long moment, his mind racing. Daisy may be powerful and dangerously calculative, but right now, she was also the only person on this cruise ship who wasn't treating him like a stain on the floor. "What do you want?" he asked bluntly. Daisy's smile widened, and she tilted her head slightly. "Unlike Roseline, I'm not ashamed to be seen around you. So why don't we hang out together? We still have twelve hours, so what the heck?" Arthur studied her carefully. Her green eyes were bright, her expression open and friendly. What did he have to lose? Roseline had made it clear she wanted nothing to do with him until they reached the island. If Daisy wanted to spend time with him, he might as well enjoy her company. He thought about it for a moment. Then he nodded. "Alright," he said. "Let's hang out." Daisy's face lit up with delight. "Wonderful! I know exactly where we should go first." She looped her arm through his as if they were old friends
The cruise ship
The Blue-Class bus finally rolled to a stop at the harbor, its brakes hissing softly as it pulled up beside the others. Arthur stepped off with the rest of his classmates, squinting against the bright morning sun reflecting off the water. The harbor was huge, packed with docks and cranes everywhere. But it was nothing compared to the vessel floating before their eyes. The cruise ship was a vast floating city of white and gold, with numerous decks rising high above the water. Flags from the four tycoon families fluttered from its masts, and a red carpet had been laid out along the gangway, welcoming the students aboard.The White-Class students got off first, since their buses had arrived earlier. They were followed by the Red-Class, and finally the Blue-Class. Arthur joined the other Blue-Class students, admiring the cruise ship as he entered. It was the first time he had ever laid eyes on one.Once on board, all the students were guided to the main deck, where two teachers stood

Arthur was no fool. He saw right through Daisy's in a heartbeat. She wanted to use him to get what she wanted.But that was only half of what she was thinking. Arthur couldn't shake the feeling that she was after something far greater.It didn't help that she was hard to read, especially with that sweet, friendly face of hers.Arthur managed a forced smile. "That's an interesting offer," he said, his voice calm even as warning bells rang loudly in his mind.Daisy's smile widened. "So that's a yes? You're going to let me watch you build your product?""I'll think about it," Arthur said, buying himself some time. "But for now, I really should be going. Roseline is waiting."He stood up, and Daisy rose alongside him, her expression soft."Of course," she replied smoothly. "I'll ask my butler to see you out."As Arthur walked toward the door, he could feel her eyes on his back, watching him with that calculative gaze Jamie had warned him about.After leaving the 99th floor, Arthur entered
The lazy genius
There was a long pause on the line after Arthur announced they weren't going ahead with their initial plan.Then Roseline raised her voice. "Huh? What are you talking about? We already agreed that's what we're doing.""I know. Just trust me," Arthur said. "I have a new, fresh idea. I'll tell you all about it later.""What's this about?" Roseline's voice grew sharper. "We only have until next week before the cruise trip begins. We don't have time for games, Arthur."Arthur glanced around, ensuring no one was within earshot. "Does the exam rule mention anything about stealing and producing other people's projects?"Roseline was silent for a moment, clearly caught off guard by the question."Ideas are encouraged to be shared among groups," she said slowly, "but no two groups can produce the same product. That's grounds for disqualification."There was a beat of silence. Then Roseline's voice fell, realization hitting her. "Arthur, what are you planning?""I'm meeting Daisy White later to
Daisy White part 2
After finishing his meeting with Roseline, Arthur texted Jamie to ask for his location.Jamie sent his location, and then Arthur headed over there. He spotted Jamie waiting for him near the fountain in the central plaza, sitting on the stone edge.Arthur was quick to notice the sour expression plastered across Jamie's face. The guy looked like he swallowed a bug."Why the long face?" Arthur approached, raising an eyebrow.Jamie looked up, his frown deepening. "You don't want to know.""I asked, didn't I?"Jamie let out a heavy sigh, slumping forward. "I found my partner online."Arthur blinked. "Okay... and?""He's a White-Class student," Jamie replied.Arthur shrugged. "Isn't that a good thing? At least he's someone on a higher social class than yours. That should make things easier, right?"Frustration crossed Jamie's expression. "Yeah, I guess it would've been fine if it wasn't this douchebag named Brad Kennedy."Arthur's eyebrow arched higher. The name rang a bell, though he couldn
