Chapter 315 The Center of Attention
So?" Abella asked, raising her delicate eyebrows in question.
"I'm not like your brother; I don't have a photo for you to pine over. If you miss me, I can appear before you at any time for you to see," Phillipe said, his eyes brimming with tenderness and indulgence.
Suddenly, Abella realized, was he competing for her affection with Blake? Or was it just her imagination?
When they arrived at the school gate, Abella insisted that he not get out of the car. "You're too conspicuous," she said.
"Afraid I'll be seen by the other girls?"
"Afraid you'll attract idlers"
Phillipe laughed unrestrainedly, cupping her face in his hands and kissing her greedily.
Mr. Medici, getting out of the car, accidentally witnessed this scene and quickly turned his face away, thinking to himself, "Young people these days really are different from our generation... They're so bold, always hugging and kissing in broad daylight."
Mrs. Medici glanced over and dismissed it, "What do you know? This is called being affectionate, sweet! It shows how inseparable the young couple is..."
"Should we also give each other a peck?" Mr. Medici said with a smile, leaning in.
Mrs. Medici quickly slapped him away, "Get away, you old lecher!"
Mr. Medici: ??? Why was it that when Phillipe kissed their daughter, it was seen as affectionate, but when he wanted to kiss his wife, it was lecherous?
"Stay in touch."
Inside the car, Phillipe's voice was emotional and seductive, his eyes filled with an intense reluctance and deep affection.
"Okay," Abella replied, getting out of the car without looking back.
Phillipe watched her confident and independent figure walking away, suddenly feeling heartlessly abandoned... Despite her low-key approach today, the six luxury cars parked at the school's entrance still attracted too much attention.
"Is that a freshman?"
"Her family looks so wealthy..."
"The key is, she's got such a great temperament, so beautiful! A bit aloof, yet cool..."
"Are those her parents with her? They look a bit familiar."
"Yeah, I've seen them somewhere..."
The Medicis, each holding one of Abella's hands, walked into the campus, not expecting the Medical College to have such a nice environment. It was their first time accompanying their daughter college, and they were very excited.
Six drivers followed behind them, carrying Abella's luggage.
As soon as they entered the college, some senior students from the student council noticed them.
Every year, teachers from the admissions office and senior students from the student council would stand at the gate to welcome new students.
Now, several seniors rushed to inquire and then led the way, introducing the facilities, including the cafeteria, sports field, and direction of the teaching buildings...
After leading Abella to her dormitory building, they wanted to ask for her WhatsApp, but seeing her cool aura and her parents present, they ultimately didn't dare to ask...
This new student's presence was too intimidating!
It was an inexplicable sense of oppression...
"The school hasn't seen such a stunning girl in a long time."
"I bet she'll become the campus belle of Medical College!"
"She's not only beautiful but also aced the SAT. I feel like I'm not even worthy to chase after her."
"Hahaha, at least you're self-aware!"
When the dormitory supervisor saw Abella, she remembered the principal's instructions that a very beautiful girl would be arriving today, someone who would be striking at first glance. Without a doubt, it was her!
As Abella climbed the stairs to the dormitory, the supervisor ran out to greet her.
"Are you Principal Wilson's granddaughter?" the supervisor blurted out, then quickly covered her mouth, "Right, right, I shouldn't say that. Chairman Wilson asked me to keep it a secret... You're Abella, aren't you?"
"Hello."
"Hello, hello, come in, please. These two must be your parents, right? Come on in. Oh, you brought bodyguards too? Are they here to carry your luggage?"
Abella knew men weren't allowed in the women's dormitory, so she told the drivers behind her, "Leave the luggage here."
"No need, let them carry it up for you. You're so slim, how could you carry all that by yourself..."
The supervisor smiled like a blooming flower, slinging an arm over Abella's shoulder and chattering away, "You'll always have me to look out for you here! Just, you know, the male dorm supervisor gets a raise every three years, and I've been here for six..."
Abella understood her hint and nodded, "I'll mention it to my grandfather."
"Oh, that's great, what a good girl. Now, go on up, show your parents around the dorm!"
The Medicis were confused by their conversation. What was going on?
Abella was Principal Wilson's granddaughter??
Since when?
Was it like Mr. Walker, who had recognized Abella as his granddaughter??
Although they also knew Principal Wilson, they weren't as closely connected; it was their previous generations who had interacted...
If they wanted to ask Principal Wilson to take care of Abella at school, they would have to use their parents' relationships with Mr. Wilson ...
But before they could make that call, they heard about this news...
"Abella, you know Principal Wilson?" Mrs. Medici asked as they entered the elevator.
"Yes, I do. He's a good friend with Mr. Walker. In terms of medicine, it was his guidance that enlightened me."
So that was it!
"My precious daughter is the apple of so many people?" Mrs. Medici was delighted, once again impressed by her daughter.
Reaching the top floor, Abella pushed to open the door of the dormitory and suddenly found two other girls inside.
The girls were just chatting with each other, but when they heard the noise, they looked up, and their gaze was immediately captured.
She was so beautiful, so full of grace!!
They sized up Abella, her clear eyes like pools of water, her skin pale, her figure slim and tall, exuding a powerful presence.
"Are you Abella or Clare?"
They had seen the dormitory list before and knew the names of the other two people, one was the top scorer Abella, and the other was named Clare.
Abella's gaze softened, "I'm Abella."
"The top scorer? You're the top scorer??" Josie was stunned and thrilled.
"We're sharing a room with the top scorer?!" The other girl, Joanna, was also excited, "Great sage, I bow to you!"
How did Abella manage to be both beautiful and academically perfect??
Just then, Josie noticed, "You didn't bring any luggage?"
"I did."
Abella stepped aside, and the drivers immediately entered with the luggage.
Josie thought the first bodyguard was Abella's father and was about to greet him when one after another, more bodyguards entered...
Both girls were stunned by the entourage, their apples forgotten in their hands.
Then, an elegantly dressed couple appeared.
