NovelBookChapter 529 Absolutely Ridiculous 48 Pearlss Sofia had wanted to leave campus with her, so Jean had to cup with an excuse-turning her down with a slight pang of guilt.
She left the school gates alone, deliberately circling around to a neighboring street before finally getting into Winston's car.
Winston had gotten his own car once he started college.
As for Jean, she still hadn't taken the driving test.
For her, getting a license wasn't urgent; she wasn't in any rush to drive.

Winston's long, pale fingers rested lightly on top of it; he lifted it with one hand and handed it to her.
"Strawberry croissant?" Through the transparent section of the bag, Jean could see the mouthwatering pastry inside.
Winston nodded. "Thought you might get bored on the way." Jean pressed her lips into a soft smile and immediately took the bag, her eyes curving into cheerful crescents. "Thanks, Winston." She didn't know when it had happened, but the boy she first met-cold and brimming with hostility-had quietly becthis gentle, thoughtful person. Treally does change people.
When they got back to the Ginger residence, Sienna and Dominic were already there.
Seeing Winston and Jean return together, the two walked out from the living room.
"Winston, Jean.” Sienna cover and affectionately patted their shoulders, the smile at her lips glowing like sunlight. "You two planned to chtogether?" Jean nodded. "Yeah." After a few pleasantries, Sienna suddenly withdrew her smile.
"This morning, I received a letter. A physical one." "A letter?" Jean raised an eyebrow at that, her eyes locking onto Sienna with curiosity, waiting for her to continue.
There was a flicker of something complicated in Sienna's gaze, as if the words were hard to say. "What happened?" Winston narrowed his eyes and followed up.
He was asking so quickly because his gut told him, the letter Sienna mentioned had something to do with Jean. Dominic seemed to know about it, too. When Sienna brought it up, he didn't look surprised in the slightest; instead, his eyes took on a kind of indifferent detachment.
"Don't worry, it's not a huge deal." Secing the heavy looks on both Jean and Winston's faces, Sienna gave a reassuring smile, trying to lighten the mood. "But still, I think it's best if you read it yourself." With that, she pulled an envelope from her pocket.
She handed it to Jean.
Jean took it without hesitation and opened it quickly.
The contents were... a bit unexpected.
It was a complaint letter.
The writer claimed to be a student at Stellarford Academy and had written to Sienna to expose a series of “misdeeds" committed by her daughter Jean at the university. Arrogant. A bully. Overbearing. Disrespectful to authority. Provocative without reason...
Jean skimmed the letter swiftly, her expression turning amused and incredulous.
Winston was reading it too; from start to finish, his brows drew tighter and tighter. "Absolutely ridiculous."
His eyes were as cold as ice sealed in stone. He practically growled the words through clenched teeth.
Even though he and Jean were in different years, differentdepartments, he knew nearly everything that happened to her on campus-every situation she ran into. 5.5K
