“Just have fun with it.” It was just Sinclair Corp after all he could play it however she wanted.

“Yeah.” She was confident about that. Since Winona and the others were so keen on Sinclair Corp, she might as well secure it first.
“You don’t need to walk me up, Wisteria Apartment is very safe.”
It’s better to go back and rest early since I’m not feeling well. Tessa pondered.
“Let’s go!” Landon acted as if he hadn’t heard her refusal, got out of the car with her, wanting to spend a few more minutes with her.
Tessa glanced at the man behind her, “Or you could just stay here tonight; don’t
go
back.”
Landon stopped in his tracks, his breathing quickened, “What?”
Flex also excitedly chimed in, “Oh my god, oh my god! She’s inviting us to stay over; just say yes!”
Tessa then realized how her words might have sounded and awkwardly tried to clarify, “Don’t get the wrong idea. I didn’t mean anything by it. This place is originally your home, I’m just staying here for a while, and besides, you have your own room.”
“No need to explain.”
“I really didn’t mean anything else. I’m not that kind of girl, okay?”
“I know, I didn’t misunderstand you. But, a girl’s reputation is important, and I wouldn’t want to cause any harm to yours.”
Besides, she trusts him, but he doesn’t trust himself. Tessa’s influence on him was just too strong.
Being around her, he feared he might not be able to restrain himself. He respected her deeply.
Landon escorted Tessa upstairs, watched her open the door and go in, then turned to leave.
“Mr. Thorne, really, thank you.”
Landon turned back, seemingly reluctant to leave.
He turned around and gently hugged her. “Don’t thank me, I don’t need those words.”
“What do you want then?” Tessa asked, looking up.
Landon kissed her forehead.
“I’ll tell you when you’re older.”
Watching his intense eyes, Tessa found herself falling for him again.
Before she could lose her composure, she pushed him away, “You should head back and get some rest, goodnight.”

Watching her run off, Landon smiled softly and then said to Flex, who was roaring in his mind, “Although I really want to be with her, and bind her to me, we should respect her, give her the choice.”
Tessa was still young; her life was full of possibilities. I could give her time, let her achieve what she wanted, and make her willingly be with him.
Flex snorted, “No matter how many options she has, she must choose us in the end.”
“I’ll work hard to make sure she firmly chooses us,” Landon replied.
It was Monday again, and as soon as the students arrived at school, they were all discussing the results of this month’s exam.
“I’m doomed, the parent–teacher meeting is next after the results are out. My mom is going to kill me if she finds out I did this badly.”
Navoris High placed a lot of emphasis on grades, and all its students aimed to get into top universities.
Those who did poorly on this month’s exam really dreaded facing their results.
“Tessie, don’t worry, even if you fail physics, you won’t have to leave Navoris High. If you go, I’ll leave with you,” Ysabel comforted Tessa.
Just then, Freya came in with the exam papers, having seen the physics scores already, but she couldn’t believe her eyes.
She slammed the answer sheet down on the table.
“I thought your class just had poor grades, but I didn’t expect there to be such a severe issue with character at our Navoris High, in your class 8! It’s really shameful!”
Freya directly called out Tessa, “Tessa, stand up.”

Chapter 70 The Test of Truth
Tessa faced Freya’s fury but remained seated, “Ms. Know I won’t accept baseless accusations. And about this physics test, I believe I did quite well…”
Before Tessa could finish, Freya interrupted her with sarcasm, “Oh, not just well, but a perfect score, no less! You really are something, aren’t you!”
