Chapter 262: Chapter 262

First of all, Paige Sterling still remembers the dark memories of teaching that group in the lab hand-in-hand. It was the most irritable time of her life, constantly angry, and it was hard to teach a group of people. She doesn’t want to teach others again.

Secondly, she has other considerations—since Mr. Hawthorne heard the name Gudes, he’s been very hostile to him.

If he learns that she actually keeps Gudes by her side, he wouldn’t be happy, would he?

Thirdly, Paige thinks more selfishly, although science knows no borders, scientists do have their own country.

Taking in Gudes means everything she’d mastered must eventually be handed over to Gudes, and Gudes is ultimately going back to Veridia. Veridia only looks up to The Federation of Maxton, and Maxton and Veridia have longstanding grievances...

In short, the international relations are quite complex, and Paige doesn’t want to be involved.

However, Gudes is very persistent, and if Paige doesn’t take him in, he will keep following Paige.

He even swears that if Paige doesn’t accept him for one day, he won’t return to Veridia for one day, and even if he dies, he would prefer to die in Veridia.

Paige just lets him be, anyway accepting an apprentice is impossible.

Skylar Hughes, being so focused on Paige, naturally notices a foreigner with prominent nose and deep eyes behind Paige.

Skylar Hughes is curious about the purpose of this foreigner following Paige all day, and finds an opportunity to inquire.

"Why are you following Paige?"

"I’m a fan of God Sterling! I came all the way from Veridia to find her. I hope I can become her apprentice, and after returning to Veridia, build my own country with the things I’ve learned like her..."

Gudes’ passionate expression really stings Skylar Hughes’ eyes.

Paige’s fan group has already spread abroad, ha.

Skylar Hughes is jealous to the point of madness, but her expression remains gentle.

"What a coincidence, Paige is my sister."

Gudes looks shocked, "What? You’re actually sisters?"

Skylar Hughes nods, "Yes, we grew up together."

Gudes: "I don’t see the resemblance."

"Who says sisters have to look alike? Also, as a foreigner who can hardly distinguish Veridians’ faces, are you really in a position to comment on resemblance?"

Gudes: "True, with intelligence like God Sterling’s, even her twin sister couldn’t inherit it."

Skylar Hughes: "...", is this indirectly calling her stupid?

Do these foreigners even know how to speak appropriately?

Skylar Hughes takes a deep breath, "You probably don’t understand my sister that well, right? My sister, though smart, has been peculiar since childhood. No matter how nice I am to her, she doesn’t like being close to me, and doesn’t get along well with those around her. But she is quite popular among men..." Fresh chapters posted on 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭•𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘦•𝘯𝘦𝘵

Unfortunately, Gudes doesn’t understand the roundabout words.

Gudes only knows that Paige is remarkable in scientific research and has high intelligence.

Paige’s personal affairs are none of his concern.

Seeing that she has said so much, yet Gudes is still clueless, Skylar Hughes gives up and asks, "How did you and my sister meet?"

Gudes narrates the events at the exchange meeting, expresses his deep admiration for Paige, and states he came to Veridia this time to apprentice, determined not to return until Paige accepts him.

The determination is firm.

Skylar Hughes rolls her eyes, "Do you really like my sister so much?"

"Of course, she is a god to me. No one can compare."

Skylar Hughes, "Actually, I can help you. Not only can I help you see her, but I can also ensure you stay by her side as you wish."

Switching between Veridian and Veridian languages, there are actually problems with some words.

Thus, Gudes just assumes Skylar Hughes is willing to help him get Paige to take him in.

He excitedly grabs Skylar Hughes’ hand, "Really? You are such a kind girl!"

Skylar Hughes genuinely helping Gudes is impossible.

She just can’t stand Paige becoming more and more glorious, and must think of ways to give Paige some trouble to feel better.

So she uses helping Gudes as an excuse to prepare a good show for Paige.

Skylar Hughes tells Gudes that Paige loves men who act like heroes the most.

She finds a group to trouble Paige, of course, only pretending. At the time, Gudes just needs to heroically rescue the beauty.

Skylar Hughes deliberately says some details ambiguously. Due to the language barriers, Gudes does not fully understand.

But he trusts Skylar Hughes, so ultimately lets Skylar Hughes arrange everything, and even generously gives Skylar Hughes a sum of money.

Skylar initially sees Gudes dressed so shabbily, assuming he’s very poor, but he casually throws her millions, nearly breaking her composure.

If you have so much money, why worship Paige? Are you too full with nothing to do? Paige is just a businessman reeking of copper scent.

With this money, Skylar finally finds people who are tough characters.

However, Gudes has no idea.

On the day of heroically rescuing the beauty, Skylar Hughes repeatedly cautions this group to complete the task and not let Gudes find out early.

The group nods, "Rest assured, we got it."

Though harming a woman’s face is cruel, they must act for the money.

Especially since Skylar Hughes is so generous, giving them so much money.

Of course, if Gudes knew Paige’s combat skills were overwhelming, he probably wouldn’t agree with Skylar Hughes’ plan.

Also, if those hired by Skylar Hughes knew in advance they were dealing with Paige, they wouldn’t have taken the job even if beaten to death.

Yet, there are no what-ifs.

Everything proceeds smoothly as planned by Skylar Hughes, even if it doesn’t succeed. That group will blame everything on Gudes, while she can safely stay out and let Gudes take the fall.

Even Paige can’t do anything to her for this matter.

It must be said, after suffering many losses, Skylar Hughes has also gotten smarter.

Thus, when Paige leaves the restaurant that night and heads to the parking lot to drive, this group suddenly emerges.

This group plans to appear smoothly, and while undetected, first drag Paige into a car and take her elsewhere.

However, Paige’s response is too fast, and they haven’t even touched Paige before she dodges.

The group sneers, fully displaying their villainous colors, "Want to do what? Of course, to assault!"

Afterwards, the group shares a sly smile, giving an obscene grin, continuously approaching Paige.

And just as a few prepared to act violently against Paige, Gudes charges out, shouting, "God Sterling, hide first, let me teach these people a lesson!"

Gudes strikes a standard Bruce Lee pose, shouts with vigor, then begins gesturing.

The group hired by Skylar Hughes looks at each other, then rushes over and starts assaulting Gudes.

What happened to acting? Why the hell are you legitimately beating me up?

The script? Where is the script?
