After speaking, Quenlyn stepped forward and grabbed the microphone from the MC’s hand…
Initially, everyone thought she was going to sing really well, but to their surprise, she was completely tone deaf.
Everyone covered their ears in discomfort. Only Herman stood below the stage, listening with all his heart.
From the time they were still in school, Quenlyn had been the type to consistently start fights and arguments. She often gave off the vibe of a criminal. But, everytime she fought, it was always because she was sticking up for someone else.
So, she was the only bully in school that no one hated.
“Miss Xylander, please stop singing…” one of the guests pleaded. Quenlyn scoffed and handed the microphone back to the MC.
Some people found her lame, some found her charismatic and some even found her cool. As for Herman, he found her interesting…
Quenlyn had always been such an interesting person. She was obviously simple-minded, but her actions were always surprising; shocking everyone that witnessed it.
“I hope, from today onwards, none of you will say that my Herman has any type of ambiguous relationship with Miss Ellsworth. He obviously doesn’t.” After speaking, Quenlyn turned and looked at the red-faced groom-to-be, “My Herman is hungry. I think it’s time we go have some food. You guys continue with what you were doing.”
“Ridiculous, does everyone think they can bully my Herman…?”
Herman watched as Quenlyn walked towards him. Although her actions were based on loyalty to an old classmate, it was hard to deny that she was indescribably cool.
“Baby, let’s go.”
So, who embarrassed who in the end?
The guests looked at the two couples. It was obvious to see that the only ones that were suffering were Flossie and her fiance.
“I never expected that the heiress of Xylander Corps would be this cute.”
“Hey, did anyone record her singing? Why did I feel like her singing was like honey to my ears? From now on, if an ex is getting married, I am going to send them this recording and broadcast it in front of everyone. It’s quite destructive.”
“Hahaha, she is crazy cute!”
Of course, Herman and Quenlyn had no idea what the guests were talking about. They simply boarded their car and involuntarily burst out laughing.
“Let me tell you, I love messing up ceremonies and breaking up couples.”
“I never thought your singing would be that bad,” Herman laughed. It was rare to see him in such a carefree mood.
This time, Quenlyn did not joke around as she repeated the song. Her singing was actually really good. But, back at the ceremony, she wasn’t going to satisfy them.
“Little Monkey, you’re still as cheeky as ever. But, thank you,” Herman said sincerely.
“I would do anything to protect my friends.”
Herman turned and looked at Quenlyn. For a moment, his heart broke as he thought about the times that Quenlyn endured violence at home and couldn’t retaliate. At times like that, was there anyone that would do anything to protect her?
“From now on, if you are ever in trouble, you can always come look for me,” Herman said in seriousness, “No matter what it is…”
“OK,” Quenlyn nodded casually. Perhaps, she would have never imagined that, one day, she would actually need Herman’s help.
…
After this huge incident, Quenlyn and Herman once again graced the headlines with their presence. After all, in the past, the relationship bet**en Flossie and Herman wasn’t simple but had now turned sour.
Anyone with eyes could tell that Flossie’s fiance had the intention to humiliate Herman at their engagement party. But, unfortunately for him, Herman had brought along Quenlyn.
In the end, not only did he fail, he ended up being humiliated instead as Quenlyn messed up his ceremony.
Entertainment news spread like wildfire and photos of Herman and Quenlyn were posted everywhere. Perhaps, to Herman, this wasn’t much of an issue. But, to Quenlyn, this was a disaster.
Father Xylander felt completely humiliated! As a result, he locked her at home and refused to let her leave the house.
…
Meanwhile, at Hyatt Regency.
Herman was drinking some soup with Emma.
“After this incident, I assume there will no longer be anything bet**en you and Flossie, am I right?” Emma asked. “Initially, grandfather had high hopes for the two of you. Luckily, we saw through her early on. I can’t deny that Flossie is capable, but, it is impossible for me to agree with her views on love.”
“Sis, I know what your are trying to say,” Herman replied in seriousness.
“Good, let’s talk about Quenlyn then. I’ve looked through the newspapers and seen the videos online. This old classmate of yours has sure treated you well.”
“She is quite cute,” Herman couldn’t contain his smile, “She doesn’t put up a front and is full of righteousness. She obviously…”
Herman stopped. He suddenly realized, it had been an entire day since the rumors started, but he had not heard from Quenlyn at all.
“Your rumors are currently spreading like wildfire, it’s only right for you to step out and do something about it. I’ve heard that she doesn’t have a very loving father. Don’t let this young lady speak up for you innocently when she has no one to protect her.”
Thinking about the way that Father Xylander tortured Quenlyn, Herman suddenly put down the bowl in his hands and grabbed his jacket as he walked out the door, “Sis, I’m going to pop out for a bit.”
Emma knew where he was going, so she did not stop him. All she could do was smile to herself; there were some things that one had to experience for themselves before they could figure out what was most suited to them.
…
Herman had completely overlooked the problem with Father Xylander. Now that he thought about it, he hadn’t been able to get through to Quenlyn’s phone and she had not replied to any of his messages; Father Xylander must have gotten angry at her.
So, he increased his speed and rushed over to the Xylander Household. However, as he arrived, he realized he didn’t have keys to the house, so all he could do was climb up one of the walls.
Quenlyn had never imagined that she’d see Herman under these circumstances. Neither had she imagined that he’d climb up the pipe and tap on her window.
“Are you crazy? Climb back down, it’s dangerous.”
“Are you locked in here?” Herman asked as he clung easily to the pipe. “Do you want to leave? I can take you out of here…”
Quenlyn looked cautiously at the door and back out the window, “No, I can’t leave.”
“Heroine Xylander once scaled the walls of the school dorms. Now that you’ve grown up, has your bravery shrunk?”
“If I run away like this, my credit cards will be cut!”
Seeing the anxious look on Quenlyn’s face, Herman let out a laugh, “I don’t understand you. How could you be worried about your credit cards at a time like this? You’ll be fine, you can stay at my place.”
“You want to live with me?”
“What are you thinking? I’m currently living at the Miller Household.” Herman was beginning to lose his grip so he began to rush her, “Hurry and get out here. I can’t hold on for much longer.”
Quenlyn thought for a moment before she gritted her teeth and climbed out the window. In fact, she was more nimble than Herman…
Herman was stunned. It was hard to imagine that a precious heiress like Quenlyn would be able to climb down a wall so easily.
Father Xylander had obviously put in a lot of effort to teach Quenlyn proper etiquette. Unfortunately, the little monkey enjoyed her freedom too much.
It didn’t take long before the two ran out of the main gates and boarded Herman’s car. As the door closed, they burst out laughing, “That was pretty exciting…I never thought my skills were still so good.”
“Did your father…hit you?” Herman noticed the injuries on Quenlyn’s body, even though she tried hard to conceal it.
“I’ve long been impenetrable!” Quenlyn said as she pointed her ch*st. She then changed the subject, “So, where are we going?”
“Where do you want to go?” Herman asked back. “How about we pay our primary school a visit?”
