Chapter 24
“So, with a PhD student like me tutoring you, it’ll be hard for you not to get in.” Blake smiled.
Simon suddenly felt so blessed.
He had such a capable sister and a highly educated brother–in–law.
“From now on, I’ll listen to you guys.” Simon was more confident.
This Sunday, Simon basically didn’t leave his book. His friend, Andy, came and was shocked.
“Want to go out and play?” Andy asked.
“No, bro, I’m getting serious. Don’t ask me to hang out anymore.” Simon refused immediately.
“That’s not like you. Since when did you become so studious?” Andy pursed his lips.
To his surprise, Isabel said to him, “If you want to go out and have fun, go ahead. It doesn’t matter.
“Studying is about striking a balance between work and rest, not about becoming a nerd. You need to relax properly. Just remember to come back tonight.”
“Isabel, you are so nice. But what about Mom…” Simon gave her a look.
“I’ll take care of her. Just go have fun.”
“You are the best sister in the world!” Simon was truly touched. He immediately ran out with Andy.
Isabel Clyde shook her head. This was the kind of personality a child should have.
Blake watched the receding figures of Simon and her companion, and couldn’t help but feel envious.
“Don’t worry, you can go play when you get better,” Isabel said.
“Really? Then you must accompany me.”
“Accompany you?”
“Yes, I’ll be very happy with you by my side.” Blake said seriously, looking into Isabel’s eyes.
Isabel suddenly noticed that he had gained weight recently. He was no longer as skinny as before.
His features were strikingly beautiful, with delicate eyebrows and eyes.
When he narrowed his eyes, he was so charming that one could easily become fascinated by him.
His prominent nose and thin lips were simply the masterpiece of God.
Compared to the messy appearance when she first met him, he was now a completely different person.
Especially when he smiled, he had a captivating charm.
His demeanor had improved greatly. Even lying in this dilapidated courtyard, it was difficult to conceal his noble aura.

“Isabel, why are you looking at me?” Blake asked.
Isabel quickly looked away. “Nothing, it’s just that there’s something I need to make clear to you.
“I was completely unaware of our engagement. I’m only responsible for curing you. I don’t care about anything else.”
“Isabel, do you dislike me too?”
“It’s not that I dislike you. If I did, I wouldn’t bother saving you. It’s just that we don’t have feelings for each other, so the engagement is invalid.”
“Feelings can be cultivated. I don’t care what you think. Anyway, my life is yours, and I… am yours too.”
Isabel was speechless.
‘He was getting too clingy to me.‘ thought Isabel.
Isabel wanted to say something more, but the faint smile on his face was too tempting.
She quickly got up and left.
Blake watched the girl flee in panic and chuckled softly to himself.
In his heart, he had already decided that he would cling to her for the rest of his life.
As Simon and Andy stepped outside, a Ferrari pulled up right in front of them.
Simon saw Phillip get out of the car. Immediately, he felt on guard and thought, ‘I dealt with him yesterday. Is he here to seek revenge?‘
“Mr. Galvez, don’t be tense. I’m not here to cause trouble,” Phillip smiled ingratiatingly.
Simon relaxed. “So what’s the matter?”
Phillip was beaten up badly by Isabel yesterday. His face still bore injuries, although he was wearing sunglasses to conceal them.
“Mr. Galvez, I’m here today to apologize for what happened before. It was my fault. I was so blind. Please hold it against me.”
As he spoke, Phillip deliberately slapped himself hard across the face.
“Mr. Galvez, please be generous and forgive me.”
“I made it clear yesterday about what happened before. As long as you don’t cause me any trouble, I won’t cause you any either.” Simon said.
“Oh, I wouldn’t dare to cause you any trouble. From now on, you are my boss, and I am your lackey.” Phillip said ingratiatingly.
Simon was speechless.
Andy was also shocked.
Before, Phillip used to bully others in school because his family was rich. He always looked down on poor people like them.

Now he would rather be a lackey.
They wondered if they had misheard.
“I don’t need a lackey. I’ve got things to do. I have to go.” Simon didn’t bother talking to him.
“Mr. Galvez, where are you going? Get in my car. I’ll be your driver. It’s my honor to be your lackey.”
Simon was speechless.
Phillip was so enthusiastic and pulled Simon into his car. He also politely invited Andy to join them, for Simon’s sake.
The sports car sped down at 120 yards, very exhilarating.
Andy couldn’t help but say, “This is the first time I’ve ever been in a sports car. It’s really cool!”
Simon didn’t say anything, but he believed that with his own effort, he would have one someday.
“Mr. Galvez, if you like this car, I’ll give it to you.” Phillip said as he drove.
“No, thanks.”
He didn’t care for handouts. He has his own dignity.
“Then I’ll buy you a new one.”
Andy was thrilled upon hearing that.
It’s free!
He pulled Simon’s sleeve, urging him to agree.
“I said no, don’t mention it again.” Simon replied coldly.
“Yeah. That’s Mr. Galvez.” Phillip smiled awkwardly.
He thought he could please Simon with a sports car, but it seemed that it wouldn’t work.
He was poor, but ambitious. He didn’t care for it at all. It was Phillip who was shallow.
“By the way, Mr. Galvez, your sister and Mr. Preston… What is their relationship?” Phillip asked.
He had to go through various connections to befriend someone like Rex.
As for Mr. Preston, that was even more out of his reach.
He did not expect Simon’s sister to be so close to Mr. Preston.
Just thinking about how Mr. Preston broke someone’s arm the day before gave him nightmares all night.
“I don’t know. Maybe they’re friends.” Simon said casually,
He really didn’t know. He asked Isabel, but she wouldn’t tell him.
But he now understood that Phillip was only being nice to him because of his sister’s relationship with Mr. Preston.

To put it bluntly, he was basking in his sister’s glory.
Phillip smiled to lighten the mood. “Haha, I guess your sister might be Mr. Preston’s girlfriend.”
Otherwise, Mr. Preston wouldn’t listen to her.
“Don’t talk nonsense. My sister has been engaged. My brother–in–law is at my home now.”
Phillip didn’t know what to say.
That’s strange.
Phillip was even more puzzled.
“Sorry, Mr. Galvez, I was talking nonsense. But from now on, I’m your lackey. Anything you need done, just say the word. Please take care of me.”
Simon was speechless.
From this day on, Simon found that his luck had gotten better and better since he met his sister.
