C5 Jumping Clown

"All of you shut up!"

Bryan couldn't bear listening any longer. He pointed at the gossiping classmates and shouted, "All you do is gossip. You cowards, what right do you have to talk about others?"

"At the very least, Lloyd can muster up the courage to do what he wants. As for you guys, other than talking nonsense, what else can you do?"

"Bryan is right, we are all classmates. Be kind, unless you want your future children to be born without an anus." Marsh Higgins also felt indignant for Lloyd.

Joel Simon shrank his head. He wasn't planning on intervening.

Since his relationship with Lloyd was average, there was no need for him to offend Lorelei Lambert for Lloyd.

He just thought it was a joke.

"Forget it. Dragons do not live on the same level as snakes. You shouldn't bother about them," Lloyd advised his friends, as he didn't want his roommates to quarrel with these people because of him.

Lorelei Lambert was initially pleased with herself as she watched the show unfold, but she didn't expect Lloyd to be so calm and even ridicule her for not being good enough.

She was so angry that her face turned red as she said, "Lloyd, are you even qualified to talk about levels?"

"Someone like you, even after you graduate, would only be fit to work for my boyfriend. You have no ambitions in your life, and you still dare talk about things you will never achieve. If it weren't for the fact that we are in the same class, I wouldn't even bother looking at you with the corner of my eye. You are a toad!"

Lorelei Lambert spoke so loudly that everyone outside the classroom could hear her clearly.

"Lorelei Lambert, don't go too far. Just because Lloyd can't be bothered with you doesn't mean that he's easy to bully." These words made Bryan's blood boil.

"You think too highly of yourself. You will regret it." Marsh Higgins shook his head and sighed.

The students all understood each other, and Marsh Higgins knew very well who Lorelei Lambert was. She wanted nothing more than to cling to the rich and powerful.

However, she was blind. Instead of holding onto Lloyd, this great Buddha, she stepped on him a few times.

He couldn't help but feel that she was rather pitiful.

"I don't care."

Lorelei Lambert did not think so and said with a sneer, "How laughable. For an ignorant loser like Lloyd, even if I rejected him ten thousand times, I wouldn't blink once."

"You are a frog at the bottom of a well. I think the one who is ignorant is you, Lorelei Lambert." At this moment, a clear voice came from the door before Lloyd could say anything.

Everyone looked over and saw that it was actually Victoria Arnold from the class next door.

Victoria Arnold was one of the three great beauties recognized by the Siango Industry University. Her rank was only inferior to the school beauty Elsie. Regardless of her temperament or appearance, she was more powerful than Lorelei Lambert.

Because Elsie had a cold demeanor, she never had a good impression of any man.

Therefore, as a third-year beauty, Victoria Arnold, who was ranked second in the entire school, became the hottest goddess in the school.

It was said that those who pursued her could line up from the school building to the school gate.

"Why is she here? She doesn't seem very friendly to Lorelei Lambert. Could it be that Lorelei Lambert offended her?"

"Impossible, the two of them never get involved with each other. They're not even in the same class, so why would Lorelei Lambert offend her?"

"Could it be that she's fighting for Lloyd? I didn't think that the goddess in my heart would have such a sense of justice."

"Nonsense, how could that be possible? How could Lloyd allow Victoria Arnold to speak up for him?"

The men in the entire class nearly caused a sensation.

Normally, it would be hard for them to even take a look at Victoria Arnold. They would never have imagined that the goddess would suddenly appear in their class today.

Lorelei Lambert's expression was hideous. "Victoria Arnold, what do you mean with this?"

Lloyd was also very curious.

He didn't know Victoria Arnold at all. Why would she speak up for him?

"It's nothing. I just thought you were pretty funny." Victoria Arnold caressed her falling hair and smiled indifferently, "I'm afraid you still don't know that the Starlight Diner at the side of the school is my family's, right?"

Hearing this, Lorelei Lambert's expression became even more unsightly, a trace of jealousy appearing in her eyes.

Starlight Diner's fame spread far and wide throughout the entire city, and Victoria Arnold was actually the boss' daughter.

She couldn't afford to offend this kind of rich person.

However, Lorelei Lambert didn't want to lose face either as she braced herself and retorted, "So what? Are you here to show off your wealth?"

"You're too shallow. Showing off my wealth to people like you would only lower my level." Victoria Arnold looked gentle, quiet and beautiful, but her tone was much more imposing than Lorelei Lambert's. She continued, "Last night, someone bought my family's Starlight Diner."

"What does that have to do with me!" Lorelei Lambert became even more confused.

"Of course it has something to do with you, because the buyer is your class' Lloyd. His level really isn't something a person like you could guess." Victoria Arnold's words were like a bomb that exploded on the ground.

At the same time, the whole class was filled with the hissing sound of someone inhaling cold air.

All eyes were on Lloyd in an instant.

"Oh my god, this can't be true!"

"Isn't he a poor plebeian? How could he have so much money when he used to be so poor that he would gnaw on steamed buns? "

"We were wrong. Lloyd is actually a tycoon. Could it be that he was purposely putting on an act?"

"Your faces look ridiculous right now!"

In an instant, the entire classroom was filled with commotion. No one doubted what Victoria Arnold had said because there was no reason for her to lie at all.

Joel Simon was dumbfounded.

He didn't think that the matter of Bryan and Marsh Higgins saying that Lloyd bought the Starlight Diner last night was actually true.

If it wasn't for Victoria Arnold personally revealing this matter, he wouldn't have believed it even if he had been beaten to death.

All of a sudden, Joel Simon's heart was full of regret. He wished he could slap himself hard in the face for running away last night.

Right now, Lloyd must be hating him in his heart.

Lorelei Lambert, on the other hand, was even more shocked. She fell on her seat, her face ashen as she muttered to herself, "How could this be?"

Victoria Arnold couldn't be bothered to look at Lorelei Lambert's expression anymore. She walked straight into the classroom and stretched out her hand towards Lloyd. "Lloyd, thank you for helping my dad obtain the necessary funds in time. My dad specifically asked me to invite you to my house for dinner tomorrow night."

"Ah, alright. Please thank Mr Liu for me." Lloyd felt a bit awkward. He didn't reach out to shake Victoria Arnold's hand. After all, they weren't familiar with each other.

Victoria Arnold, however, didn't mind at all. She stretched out her hand and casually lifted it up, bringing with it a few strands of fragrant hair, looking extremely coquettish.

"Then I'll pick you up from school tomorrow." With that, she waved at Lloyd and left the classroom.

It wasn't until she walked out of the room that the crowd was able to react.

"They've never heard of Victoria Arnold being so nice to anyone. That smile is really intoxicating."

"It's over, it's over. Victoria Arnold has fallen in love with Lloyd. The whole school's men will probably get drunk because of the heartbreak."

"Lloyd is what you call him, huh? You don't have the qualifications to call him that way. You should call him young master Lloyd!"

"Young master Lloyd is so broad-minded. He will definitely forgive me. We're classmates after all."

With Victoria Arnold, Lloyd immediately became the focus of attention.

Everone who had been laughing at him a moment ago began flattering him.

Looking at these people, Lloyd couldn't help but feel a little disgusted.

When he was poor, they used to make fun of him. Now that he had money, they all came to curry favor with him. Human nature is so ugly.

Lorelei Lambert was sullen. At this moment, she had lost all her face.

"Just because you have money, you think you're amazing. Lloyd, just you wait, I'll definitely teach you a lesson." Lorelei Lambert's heart was filled with resentment.

After the classes at noon ended, Joel Simon quietly walked to Lloyd's side.

"Young master Lloyd, we're from the same dorm after all. I've offended you in the past, so I'll sincerely apologize to you," Joel Simon said with a disgusting smile on his face.

"There is no need. You didn't do anything worthy of apologizing." Lloyd smiled faintly.

"Actually, I have something to ask of you." A hint of joy appeared in Joel Simon's eyes.

"What is it?"

"My dad's been doing a bit of business lately, and he has some problems with money." Joel Simon followed behind Lloyd with a stooped back and a flattering look on his face as he continued, "Young master Lloyd, you look like a tycoon. We are in the same dorm, so could you lend some money to my dad?

Lloyd suddenly had the urge to laugh.

This guy was really realistic. He ran faster than a rabbit last night and usually spoke ill of him.

He even wanted to borrow money.

"Sorry, my money didn't come from nowhere, so I won't lend it to you." Lloyd coldly refused as he called Bryan and Marsh Higgins over to the cafeteria.

Joel Simon's flattering smile suddenly disappeared.

After the afternoon classes.

After school, Lloyd, Bryan and Marsh Higgins headed to the dormitory building.

It was then that they saw Lorelei Lambert's boyfriend, Adrian Mendez, walk around the corner accompanied by three thugs with colourful hair and tattoos on their arms.

Adrian Mendez hugged Lorelei Lambert's waist with an arrogant expression.

"Lloyd, I heard you're rich. Wow, you even dare to bully my woman!"

"I let you go yesterday, but it seems you don't know how to behave."

"You're just a little nouveau riche that doesn't know his limits. It seems I need to personally teach you a lesson."

The thugs made Bryan very nervous; however, he did not step back and instead stood in front of Lloyd as he said, "What are you doing? We're at school."

Marsh Higgins took out his phone and was about to call 110. "I'm going to call the police. Don't act recklessly."

"These two brats are courting death." The three thugs smiled at each other, then walked forward and pushed Bryan and Marsh Higgins out of the way.

"You dare call the police? Lloyd, kneel in front of me today, kowtow three times and I'll let you go." Adrian Mendez let go Lorelei Lambert from his arms and walked towards Lloyd with an evil grin as he continued, "Otherwise, you won't be able to stay in this school anymore."

"Boss, what are you talking to him about? Let me slap him a few times first." One of the thugs was about to attack.

"I want to see who dares to move." At this moment, a sneer sounded out.

Camryn Whitaker, who wearing a business suit and silk stockings on her long legs, had an arrogant expression on her face as she walked over from afar accompanied by four bodyguards in black suits and sunglasses that were as sturdy as a bull.
