Chapter 302 Staying in a Run-down House
Cherise couldn’t help but notice how Rodney rushed to Mandy’s side and found it inappropriate.
She believed there were more suitable ways to assist Mandy without getting so physically close,
especially since Rodney was already in a relationship with Lucy. Rodney’s action just didn’t sit right
with her.
Lucy shrugged and said, “Maybe the situation required quick action, and he didn’t have time to think it
through.”
Cherise’s comment didn’t faze Lucy, and they all continued walking, with Lucy dragging her luggage.
“Is your hometown prettier than this place?”
The mere mention of her hometown got Cherise all excited. She eagerly shook her head, “Absolutely!”
“This place doesn’t hold a candle to my hometown!”
Just before they arrived in Sequoia, Rodney and Lucy were told that the photography crew had

However, when they arrived, they were in for a surprise a rich man had snatched up one of the villas,
who had paid three times what the photography crew had.
With only one villa left, there wasn’t enough room for everyone, so some had to be directed to a
nearby, rundown single-story house.
Jessie was frustrated.
She dropped her luggage and exclaimed, “What’s wrong with them? Why must Mandy and I stay. in
this rundown place because we registered late? Can’t they assign us based on the order we signed
up?”
“This is unfair!”
“What’s your problem?”
One of the girls in charge couldn’t stand Jessie’s arrogance. “We’re all city folks, and that nearby house
is so sorry that nobody wants to stay there. It’s simple first come, first served. You were the last one
here, so it’s only fair that you get what’s left.”
The group of people all seemed to agree with her. Jessie clenched her teeth and looked at Mandy.
“Mandy… say something!”
Mandy didn’t mind at all. After all, she had been through her fair share of tough nights with the Wool
family.
Staying in a rundown countryside house was nothing to her. But Jessie was doing this for her sake,

so she cleared her throat and suggested, “Everyone, I think drawing lots would be a fairer way.”
Mandy carried on saying. “We found out about this field trip later than you all did. I don’t think the
information lag should be a valid excuse to divide the rooms unfairly,”
She didn’t have high hopes for her words to carry much weight. But, to everyone’s astonishment, after
Mandy spoke, Rodney, one of the photography association’s top dogs, pursed his lips and gave a nod.
“I believe she’s got a point.”

A hushed silence settled over the group, and the same girl who confronted Jessie sighed and gave in.
“I guess we’ll have to draw lots, then.”
Among the dozen people, six would have to make do with accommodations in the other rundown
house. With nightfall approaching, the drawing of lots was a quick affair.
The outcome? The girl in charge, Lucy, Cherise, Rodney, and a couple of other students would be
staying the night in the rundown house.
As they walked away, Jessie couldn’t resist a sly comment directed at Cherise, “Seems like that
rundown house is tailor-made for you! Aren’t you from the countryside? You must’ve been used to
living in a shady quarter like that!”
Cherise gave a frosty side-eye before she joined Lucy and the others, carrying their luggage along.
Once they were out of earshot, the girl in charge couldn’t help but vent her frustration. “Come on,
Rodney! You could’ve scored the best hideout for you, your girlfriend, and her friend. What were you
thinking?!”
