Chapter 1584 How Rich People Work, and Where to Stay?
For the next few days, Luke looked as calm as ever.
Selina didn’t notice anything unusual about his behavior after that.
What she didn’t know was that the three girls all had phones that were being monitored by the A.I. program Butterfly.
Whatever Stacy did wasn’t a secret to Luke at all.
But it wasn’t like he planned to check when Stacy ate, slept, or went to the bathroom; that was unnecessary.
He simply had Little Snail screen some of the conversations between Claire and Stacy to understand the ins and outs of the situation. He couldn’t count on Gold Nugget.
Before it had discovered anything unusual, Stacy was just a passer-by in its memories. Claire came into contact with a lot of people every day, and it couldn’t remember all of them.
After checking the “history” of Claire and Stacy’s “romance,” Luke was relieved.
At the very least, these two kids had only just entered the “preliminary” stage, and were still far from being in love.
When love faced strong external pressure, there were usually two outcomes: One, it would shatter directly. Two, it would grow even stronger. Luke didn’t want to be like the parents in the movies and run over to stop them, only to become the catalyst for their relationship.
For example, when Selina said that she would go to L.A. to take a look, that would be too obvious.
Actually, there was no need to go to that trouble.
A week later, Claire came to New York at an invitation from Titanium Phone Company to take part in a charity concert.
A few days ago, photos and the list of celebrities participating in the charity concert were released.
Although only a small part of her figure could be seen on the poster, her wig was absolutely eye-catching Luke sent Claire a message. “I saw the poster. You’re coming to New York for charity?”
Claire quickly replied, “Yes.”
Luke asked, “Do you have time to visit me?”
Claire: “Haha, Luke, you miss me?”
Luke smiled. “Be careful. I’m going to check whether your grades and general knowledge have dropped. Don’t blame me for giving you extra tuition if you don’t do well.”
Claire: “…I’m about to enter my senior year. I’m almost done with my course. I’ll do my best to get my degree in the second half of the year.”
Luke said, “That’s good. Let me know before you get here.”
Claire: “Okay.”
Putting down his phone, he chuckled. Was it hard to meet with Claire? As long as he spent money in the right places, it was just a matter of a phone call.
There was no need to worry about Stacy.
She had to meet V once a month for counseling.
For the supergirl trio, this was a regular “inspection” by the wizard, which included but wasn’t limited to random testing of knowledge, the law, safety training, combat and so on.
If an ordinary student went overboard, it was very normal for them to be held back and monitored by the school.
This was the “price” the three girls paid for messing around in the past. They had nothing to complain about.
When Selina heard that Claire was coming to New York for a performance, her expression immediately turned complicated.
She looked at Luke for a long while before she clicked her tongue. “You’re really rich.”
Luke shrugged. “Isn’t that how money is
used?”
Selina closed her eyes as she digested the essence of this method. A moment later, she opened them and looked at Luke. “In the future, I’ll leave it to you to get my dad to proactively take time off from work to go out and play. Hm, I’ll pay for it.”
Luke was stumped for a moment, before he burst out laughing. “Fine, this is also another way rich people get things done – give it to the right person to handle.”
Claire arrived in New York on 12 March.
When she left the airport, she looked at the gloomy sky and couldn’t help but shake her head. “The weather in New York is too bad. I don’t think I’ll see the sun here.”
As someone from Texas, she was more used to blistering heat and less rain in California.
New York, where it rained all the time, was like a girlfriend who would bawl with a dark face the moment a bad word was said to her. It was too unpleasant.
At that moment, someone grabbed her arm.
Claire turned around and wrapped her arms around Stacy’s neck. “What’s wrong, baby?”
Stacy asked, “You really don’t want to live with me?”
Claire chuckled and pinched Stacy’s face. “I already promised my brother. Don’t tell me you want to know how he is when he turns hostile.”
Stacy snorted. “Your brother is a detective, and he’s very good, right?” Claire put her arm around her and walked out of the airport. “No, he’s never forced or threatened me. However… Forget it. I’ll see if I can stay in New Jersey.”
Stacy was depressed. “I live in New Jersey too. What’s the difference?”
The house in New Jersey which the supergirl trio used for their training had been sold to them.
Stephanie was the one who footed the down payment, but the three of them would share the cost together.
However, they all had different jobs, and the place had already turned into a holiday home; most of the time, nobody lived there.
It was hard for the three girls to get together for a break if they didn’t set a time. That was the moment when their lives changed. Stacy, who had been the most stubborn, had complicated feelings about it.
If she didn’t genuinely like Claire, Stacy wouldn’t have invited her to stay with her.
Claire put her head on her shoulder. “Okay, at least wait until I talk to Luke.”
Stacy nodded and was still a little curious. “Didn’t you say that he wouldn’t object to us? And you kept praising him for being open-minded?”
Claire chuckled. “Safety first. How can we confirm his attitude unless he says it himself?”
It was the mysterious old man who had taught her not to be blindly optimistic, in order to avoid reading a situation wrongly.
As they spoke, the two girls walked out of the airport and into the rain.
Claire, who was petite at 1.7 meters tall, led the way.
At 1.75 meters tall, the tall and slim Stacy conversely seemed a little helpless as she obediently followed Claire.
That was right. Claire had always taken the lead between the two of them.
It wasn’t because she was more outgoing or rich.
After all, Stacy was a powerful superhuman. She also didn’t know that Claire had a cheat like the mysterious old man.
Logically speaking, Stacy should be stronger.
After being together for so long, however, things naturally turned out like this.
It could only be said that Claire, who was fond of adventure and extreme sports, and had enough autonomy and decisiveness, was more “manly” than Stacy.
Stacy, who had never received love and care, longed for them.
The more people lacked something, the more they wanted it.
There was also a saying: If you can’t become a person with money, then become the wife of a person with money.
The word “money” in this sentence could be replaced with anything else. It was in this way that Stacy was drawn to Claire. Her pure curiosity at the beginning turned into becoming Claire’s “girlfriend.”
Nothing was more amazing than the wonders of life.
