Chapter 235
“Well, did you agree, Nina Clifford asked.
Nina tied her head, not quite understanding. “Agree to what?”
Clifford smiled gracefully, appearing kind and gentle. Patiently, he repeated, “Oliver invited you to his house, didn’t he? Did you agree to go
Silded nodded eagerly, replying. “Of course, I agreed! After all, I’m really free now that I’m not going to school, so why wouldn’t I go if he invited nise to his house?”
Clifford’s smile faltered when he heard her. Is she really going to go he wondered irritably. “What an idiot. Why is she so trusting of others! Anyone can tell what intentions that nephew of mine has towards her! I must do something about this situation.
After a short pause, he continued, “If Oliver calls and asks you to visit him at the Snee family’s residence in the future, make sure to inform me first,
okay?”
“Huh? Inform you?” Nina was a little puzzled at his request
Why did she have to inform Clifford if Oliver asked her to visit him at the Snee family’s residence? Then again, she remembered that Clifford was a member of the Snee family, so perhaps his request wasn’t that unreasonable.
After thinking it through, she nodded and agreed readily. “Okay, I understand.”
Seeing her so obedient and cooperative, Clifford felt very pleased indeed. He reached out a hand and caressed her hair, grinning like an old fox who had just got its way. “Good girl, Nina”
“Huh?” Nina was very confused. Was this all it took to be a good girl in his eyes?
Clifford was so easy to please.

A few of the war machines nearby had overheard their conversation. They couldn’t help but exchange startled looks and start among themselves
Gabriel: [Is it just me? I can smell the scent of jealousy in the air.. or is that your perfume, Eric‘]
Eric: I don’t use perfume]

He might have his own reasons. Still, to Mandy, he was just a jerk!
Putting aside the matter of Nina and Clifford, Mandy’s gaze landed unconsciously on Simon, who was standing next to her.
Ever since he recovered from having his neck broken by Eric this morning, Simon had been very quiet.
Usually, he was an incorrigible chatterbox who sometimes pissed people off with his choice of words. Now, however, he sat meekly next to her with his mouth shut, looking as though his mind was preoccupied. She wondered what he was thinking about.
Enc noticed Mandy’s gare and turned to look at Simon.
What had happened this morning was beyond the wildest imaginations of the war machines, even though they were trained to kill. Eric felt a little had about the vicious kick he had delivered to Simon just now, resulting in his broken neck.
He noted that Mandy kept looking towards Simon. Although she did not say it Eric knew she was certainly worried about Simon. However, due her alost personality and habit of keeping things to herself, he decided to speak on her behalf. Turning to Simon, he asked, “Are you ok? Upon hearing
Eric’s question, Simon, who had been lost in his thoughts, came back to his senses. He looked at Eric with confusion. “Huh?
Eric replied. “I know you said you’re fine, but your neck was broken, you know. If you feel uncomfortable anywhere, you need to tell us. Don’t worry that others will find out about your body’s secret, because Mr. Snee will handle this properly.”
“What?” Their conversation attracted Nina’s attention. Goggling at Simon, she exclaimed, “You broke your neck! What happened?”
