Chapter 1418
The previous night, Zane didn't think much of it when he arrived at the police station. Soliciting a prostitute seemed a minor indiscretion, and he assumed his position as an official would allow him to negotiate his way out. To his dismay, the police station informed the city education bureau directly, summoning them to collect him. Stunned, Zane had no choice but to pay the fine. By morning, the education bureau representatives had coordinated his release, but he also received a notice of suspension for further investigation.
The news created an uproar within the city education bureau. Angus, enraged to the point of slamming his desk, insisted that Zane's actions had shamed the entire Starfall Town education system and demanded his dismissal. Jillie’s husband, employed in the bureau’s public relations department, immediately relayed the information to his wife. Jillie then informed Maddy, who quickly told Toby, advising him to avoid antagonizing Zane to prevent any potential retaliation. Toby, delighted by Zane’s downfall, couldn't resist gossiping about it to his friends, which is how Kevin overheard the news.
"Zane is incredibly bold," Audrey remarked, astonished to learn that Zane had been caught in the act and dragged away half-naked. However, she quickly reminded Kevin, "Kevin, you mustn’t gloat about this. Despite everything, he’s still connected to the bureau and could cause you trouble."
"I know," Kevin replied with a smug smile. He had reported Zane but hadn't anticipated such a significant impact. Naturally, he planned to keep a low profile from here on.
"Wasn't there another incident?" Audrey asked after a moment of reflection.
"Well, here's the thing," Kevin replied animatedly. "Last night, a boy from next door fell out of a second-story window. Amazingly, he's fine — just twisted his ankle. Apparently, he was sleepwalking and tried going to the bathroom, only to climb out the window by mistake. Luckily, no one got seriously hurt."
Audrey knew that the boy was the shadowy figure who had entered her room in the middle of the night. Hearing that he was unharmed brought her a wave of relief. If he had died or been permanently injured because of her, it would have haunted her forever. This was a stroke of good fortune indeed.
"By the way, do you know the name of that sleepwalking boy?" Audrey tried to keep her voice calm, not wanting Kevin to connect the dots, but she was deeply curious about this reckless boy.
"Cliff, I guess," Kevin replied, pondering. Then he looked at Audrey with suspicion. "Audrey, do you know him?"
"I don't know him, just thought he's incredibly lucky," Audrey shook her head. She only had a vague impression of the boys besides Toby, the one who had clashed with Kevin. The names and faces of the others were a blur to her.
"Yeah, they are saying he used up all his luck for this lifetime," Kevin muttered, still in disbelief that someone could fall from the second floor and come away unscathed. If he had known the boy had climbed into Audrey’s room with ill intentions, Kevin would have broken his legs.
They gathered their belongings and went downstairs, where everyone else was waiting to check out. Audrey handed the room key to the front desk and then joined Kevin on a nearby couch, her eyes scanning the four boys standing a short distance away, trying to discern which one was Cliff.
She recognized Toby, but the other three were harder to distinguish: one was tall, another chubby, and the last one short. Audrey’s gaze lingered on the short boy. The shadowy figure from last night had moved quickly, slipping out of the window almost instantly, which seemed impossible for the chubby one. Moreover, surviving a fall from the second floor without injury suggested the boy was not too tall either. This made the short boy the most likely suspect.
Audrey's heart pounded. Her intuition told her that this boy must be Cliff. She scrutinized him curiously—a boy about five feet tall, shorter than most of his peers, with an unremarkable appearance. He stood there quietly, not drawing any attention, likely one of those boys who preferred to stay off the radar screen at school.
After becoming the homeroom teacher for Class 57, Audrey had a thorough conversation with Alissa. They concluded that the girls in the class generally required less attention. The boys could be divided into groups that needed watching: the troublemakers like Albert, the sons of influential families like Ivan, and the academically competent ones with some influence in the class like Kevin. Boys like Cliff rarely drew attention, as their presence had little impact on the overall class performance.
However, it was often boys like Cliff who ended up doing something shocking. Their inner worlds were closed off, making it hard for others to understand them. If they changed, it was hard to predict and even harder to intervene.
As Audrey gazed at Cliff's forgettable face, she found it hard to imagine that this boy would risk his life climbing into her room at night just to masturbate while looking at her. Even Kevin, with all his impulsiveness, would likely not do something so reckless and pointless.
Suddenly, Cliff seemed to sense Audrey's gaze. He looked over warily, and their eyes met. In that moment, Audrey was certain that he was the shadowy figure who had stood by her bed last night; she vividly remembered the intensity of that stare. Quickly, she turned away and started talking to Kevin, her heart racing, unsure if Cliff had noticed her observing him.
Kevin, noticing Audrey's unease, promptly asked, "Audrey, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
"It's nothing," Audrey replied, taking a deep breath. "I didn't sleep well last night and I'm just a bit tired."
"Then lean on me and rest a bit. You can sleep properly once we're on the bus," Kevin suggested, gently taking her hand. "We'll be home by the time you wake up."
"Alright," Audrey nodded. She had barely slept the night before, dozing off only at dawn, only to be woken up by Kevin. Exhausted beyond measure, she didn't think twice before clutching his arm and leaning against him. Breathing in his familiar scent, she quickly drifted into sleep. After all, everyone knew they were relatives, so there was no fear of misunderstanding.
Not far away, Cliff was in a state of extreme panic. The moment he made eye contact with Audrey, he immediately realized she had recognized him. He quickly averted his gaze and pretended to engage in conversation with his companions, but he didn't hear a single word they said; his mind was blank. What should he do? Should he make a run for it or go over and apologize? After all, he had only managed to masturbate and had not done anything else.
Would she forgive him? Cliff didn't know. He could only leave his fate in her hands. The hall was full of people, and if Audrey cried out, there would be no escape for him.
As he contemplated the possible consequences, tears welled up in his eyes. His legs began to tremble, and he struggled to control his bladder. He was set to graduate next year and was about to take his exams. If anything happened now, he would undoubtedly be expelled from Maple Grove High, and his life would be ruined forever.
However, time passed, and Cliff did not hear Audrey call out. He timidly glanced in her direction and saw that she had fallen asleep in Kevin's arms. He was stunned and then gradually felt a wave of relief; Audrey had no intention of reporting him. She had chosen to let him go.
Cliff felt as if he had been reborn, his back drenched with sweat. His heart swelled with immense gratitude toward Audrey, tinged with a hint of guilt. However, as he noticed Audrey clinging to Kevin's arm, her body almost collapsed into Kevin’s embrace, and her ample bosom pressed firmly against Kevin's chest, he was struck by a pang of jealousy. Kevin, seemingly indifferent, glanced at his phone, leaning away slightly as if annoyed by Audrey's closeness.
Cliff gnashed his teeth in bitterness. The treasure he had risked everything for, that he longed for so desperately, was being casually touched by Kevin, who appeared utterly unappreciative. Even though Cliff knew Kevin was Audrey's cousin, a wave of resentment washed over him. The world seemed unbearably unfair. Why did Kevin get to have Audrey willingly in his arms, to unconsciously possess so much without appreciation, while Cliff could only watch from afar, unable to touch her?
If he could switch places with Kevin, he would do everything in his power to win Audrey over, to possess her completely, body and soul. He would indulge in her tempting breasts without reservation
At that moment, Zane finished his call and inadvertently saw Audrey sleeping in Kevin's arms, feeling even more frustrated. Last night, stimulated by Audrey's breasts, he had hired a prostitute. Though the prostitute's breasts were huge, they weren't as firm and perky as Audrey's. When she took off her bra, they sagged and wobbled, with nipples darkened by men, making Zane lose his appetite.
But he had already paid, so not having sex would be a waste. Besides, sagging breasts of that size were normal. Audrey's perky breasts were exceptional. After showering, Zane lay on the bed, letting the prostitute suck his semi-hard cock, planning to have breast sex with her. But just as his cock hardened, and she was about to use her big breasts, the police burst in, interrupting him. Frustrated and anxious, he couldn't control his temper at the police station, escalating the situation beyond repair.
