No one saw what had just happened.
Jean was not ready to reveal her connection to Winston. Not yet, at least 3.9%2 +8 Pearls The boy beside her seemed to pick up on that thought. He turned slightly, glancing at her with quiet curiosity. There was a depth to his gaze, something unreadable flickering beneath the surface. Then, he asked suddenly, "Why not just tell everyone?" Jean raised an eyebrow, unsure of what he meant. "Tell them what?" Winston pressed his lips into a line before continuing, "If those people at school look down on you just because they think your family background isn't good enough, then why not just tell everyone who you really are? If they knew you were a daughter of the Ginger family, they'd stay out of your way." He was not wrong.
Jean gave a wry smile and tugged at the corners of her lips. "But I've already handled it without that, haven't I? There's no need to go that far. Besides, I kind of like things the way they are now. If my identity got exposed, I'd end up just like you all, constantly under a microscope. That doesn't sound very comfortable." Winston's eyes shifted slightly. He did not argue. He merely gave a small scoff and muttered, "Suit yourself." Jean did not linger at school.

They would watch as she was thrown out, disgraced and unwanted.
If that was how things would end, she would rather keep a low profile from the start.
At least it would not be so humiliating.
Back home, Jean headed straight for her bedroom. She tossed her backpack aside and collapsed onto the bed.
The day had drained her. She was exhausted.
Closing her eyes, she drifted into a deep, dreamless sleep.
The next two days passed peacefully. Full of snacks, naps, and lazing around.
Then, finally, her voice modifier arrived in the mail.
13:12 Sun, 25 May Chapter 358 Your Brother Isn't a Bad Person +8 Pearls Following the instruction manual, she configured the device. As soon as she spoke, her voice cout sounding exactly like a young boy's. Cool, crisp, and confident.
Perfect.
She glanced at her phone.
Just fifteen minutes ago, Winston had messaged her, saying the team would begin their first training session that evening.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmTalk about perfect timing.
For convenience, she and Winston had added each other on WhatsApp.
When he had asked to add her, she had nearly had a heart attack.
In a panic, she registered a backup account on the spot and used that to connect with him.
This little disguise, her alternate persona, had to be guarded carefully.
Thinking of that, she quickly sent a message to Dalton.
With their voice chat training beginning tonight, she still was not quite at ease. She wanted to make sure he was prepared. Jean asked: "Heard from my brother that you guys are starting team training tonight?" Dalton did not keep her waiting long. His reply cquickly: "Yeah, I got the message. Training's confirmed."
Jean replied: "You must be careful! My brother still doesn't know your real identity, Make sure to protect 上 your disguise!"
Seeing her text, Dalton laughed: "Haha, I know. But even if I do m accidentally get exposed, it wouldn't be the end of the world. Your brother's not a bad guy." This guy, after being treated so coldly by Winston, was still speaking up for him? 562
