Chapter 215 The Situation is Too Complicated
Ever since that chat with April, Alice finally got it—Charles had done so much for her, and she hadn't really done anything for him.
So today, without giving Charles a heads-up, she took the family Bentley and headed to Lacus Magnus University to surprise him. She figured it was time she made the first move.
Just as Alice parked on the tree-lined street by the school, she unexpectedly spotted Snow.
Since they had met once before, it was only polite to say hi.
Coincidentally, Snow had been feeling a bit lost lately. Charles had quietly given her shares in KoiTech Inc. worth $150 million, which really moved her.
Charles not only saved her life but was also willing to do so much for her. She couldn't help but fall for him. Even though she knew Charles was a bit of a playboy, she couldn't control her feelings.
Snow wasn't materialistic. What she cared about was sincerity, and Charles showed a lot of it.
However, many times, Charles just wanted to spend Special Funds, yet these girls would automatically think Charles had prepared gifts specifically for them and believed he was genuinely sincere with them!
There was nothing Charles could do to change their minds, and Snow fell into this way of thinking too. So she came to the school today to find a chance to talk to Charles and clear things up.
But just as she arrived at school, she ran into Alice, and these two stunning girls started chatting.
As they talked, they found they got along really well. They had similar interests and hobbies, even using the same lipstick shades and perfumes.
Curious about Charles's whereabouts, Alice decided to give him a call, but he didn't pick up. Then Snow bumped into Charles's roommate, Jesse.
After asking around, they found out that Charles was participating in a track and field event on the school field.
So these two campus princesses showed up one after the other on the Lacus Magnus University field.
Adding Roxy, that would be the first campus princess of Lacus Magnus University, the first campus princess of Lindell Academy, the first campus princess of the Music Academy, and the second campus princess of Lacus Magnus University, Jessica—all four campus princesses gathered together!
Seeing this, Charles started sweating, feeling like his luck was terrible today.
How did he end up in this situation? Was this the ultimate hell? Why wasn't Alice staying at Lindell Academy and instead coming to Lacus Magnus University to stir things up?
At this moment, many students were gossiping and whispering, "These two girls are really beautiful and elegant. They don't lose out to Roxy at all!"
"That's our school's top beauty, Snow. I don't know the other one, but birds of a feather flock together. Beautiful people do hang out with other beautiful people!"
"So beautiful. Today, I've seen real beauties. They look even better than celebrities!"
"That's Alice! She's the campus princess of Lindell Academy. Don't you know? She's very famous there!"
"This beauty is also a top student at Lindell Academy? Isn't it said that beautiful girls aren't into studying? How did she get into Lindell Academy? I'm so jealous!"
Compared to Lacus Magnus University and the Music Academy, Lindell Academy definitely had a higher reputation.
As soon as Alice walked onto the school field, she heard a girl shouting loudly, "Charles, I love you," and immediately felt a bit uncomfortable.
She thought Charles was really like Leo said, a playboy. But after hearing several girls shout "Charles, I love you" at the same time, she actually felt relieved.
One girl confessing meant there was something going on, but several girls confessing at once meant they were all just fans.
Charles was so excellent that he naturally had female fans who liked him, and there was no need for Alice to compete with those "fans."
"Charles, stop daydreaming and do some warm-up exercises. The race will start in one minute. You were already late. If you don't warm up before intense running, it's easy to pull a muscle!" Coach Young, who looked to be in his thirties, kindly reminded him from the side.
Last time, he had begged Charles to join the track team and also wanted Charles to represent Lacus Magnus University in the state-level competition. But although he could recommend, the final decision depended on today's performance.
What if Charles didn't perform well and wasn't as good as last time?
Humans are complex beings. In some emergency situations, a person's potential could suddenly explode, albeit with a very small probability. When it did, the result was astonishing.
Some people might not run very fast, but when faced with life-threatening danger, their potential might explode, and they might run faster than a national-level athlete.
Of course, such things generally had a very low probability of happening. Coach Young didn't know if Charles was that kind of person.
If Charles was, it would mean he lacked stability, and it would be more reassuring to let Leo participate in the state-level competition.
Based on Leo's current performance, he should be able to achieve a good result in the state-level competition.
Charles took his eyes off Alice and Snow, then pretended to stretch his legs while actually thinking of a strategy.
In this situation, it seemed Snow and Alice had already formed a subtle relationship. There was no need to break it or explain too much.
Snow already knew he was flirting around, and Alice thought Snow was a lesbian. So the key was that Alice and Jessica shouldn't communicate too much. If they were to be honest with each other, that would be a disaster!
'Jessica: Charles gave me a villa and a $77 million piano, the world's number one piano. Are you jealous?
Alice: Charles gave me a $400 million building and invested $77 million in my company!
Snow: A few days ago, Charles gave me $150 million in shares. On the day you were collecting rent, he secretly made a deal with my boss!'
If they were honest with each other like this, Charles worried he would be in deep trouble, and the damage would be irreparable. Therefore, it was better to focus on the race now.
Soon, as all the track athletes on the track were ready, the atmosphere gradually became tense.
