Chapter 1938

If none of it made Enoch care, Randy decided to ditch it all.

It didn't matter anyway.

He started slacking off, ignoring rules, and causing trouble at school. The school called his parents ten times a day, but Enoch never showed up.

Randy got bored and played games in class. His behavior got worse, but his grades stayed high, so teachers let it slide.

He messed around on his laptop and, in elementary school, built software that earned him a few hundred grand.

Enoch still didn't notice.

As middle school approached, Randy met Erica at the Houston Mansion. Considering the ties between their families, Caleb took Randy under his wing. Thɪs chapter is updated by Find★Novel.net

Life at the Houston house was dull, but it beat the cold Osborne home.

Then Erica appeared, tall and thin. Her gaze was calm and had a sharp edge.

Sensitive to that kind of vibe, Randy figured Caleb had done something to her family. A normal girl wouldn't look so intense.

He just didn't get why Caleb kept her around. That was just asking for revenge.

He sauntered over with a grin. "Hey, newbie. Are you here because your family got taken out too?"

Erica shot him a cold glance.

The butler rushed over, explaining, "Mr. Osborne, ease up. This is Miss Mathis."

"Miss Mathis?" Randy blinked, then remembered that the Mathis family was a Houston branch.

"Hey, what's your name?" he called, trailing after her.

Erica walked on, having no intention of talking to him.

"Hey, can't you talk?" Randy kept at it, curious. "Mute?"

Finally, Erica stopped and glared at him. "My name is Erica, not 'hey'."

"Oh, you can talk," Randy muttered. "I thought you were mute."

Erica fell silent once again.

The butler paused, explaining, "Miss Mathis' mother passed away."

Randy froze, and he continued, "I hope you guys will get along well. Go easy on her."

Randy watched Erica's small frame. She carried a heavy burden, just like him.

He had lost Enoch's love, while she had lost her mother.

He jogged to catch up, staying quiet for a while. Finally, he said, "I'm Randy Osborne. Wanna be friends?"
