Chapter 1150
Compared to other women who reveled in their animosity because of lan, Coral’s attitude was impressively patient.
For Maja, this made Coral all the more endearing.
“You’re fight not to be with him, Coral You two just aren’t a good match.”
Coral chuckled and finished her cup of coffee just as the school bell rang from outside.
“I’m sorry, but my little brother just got out of class. He’s in twelfth grade this year and I promised to have lunch
with him. With his studies taking up so much time, I asked him to come here. I hope you don’t mind, Ms
Pennyfeather”
Before coming. Maja had done her research and knew that Coral had a younger brother, though not by blood. Coral
had adopted him, but the details of the adoption were not known.
A moment later, Maja saw a tall young man crossing the street. He was around nighteen, handsome, exuding a
youthful charm. Quite a few students surrounded him, but his demeanor was strikingly similar to Coral’s–somewhat

Noticing Coral, he waved to his friends and quickly walked over
“Sis”
He called out, not even glancing at Maja.
Coral nodded at him and pulled out a lunch box from her bag.
brought this for you. Eat up.
Barton Albright nodded, sat down quietly, and started to eat his lunch.
Seeing how he looked like, Maja couldn’t help but ask, “Coral, have you ever thought of getting your brother into the
entertainment circle“”
Coral shook her head “This kid is made for academia.”
Upon hearing this. Barton looked at Maja, politely nodded, and then continued to eat his lunch.
Unlike most cheerful high students, this kid was somewhat reserved
Maja’s gaze lingered on him. She had a feeling that the way he looked at Coral was a bit off.
She wisely chose not to bring it up now, but waited until Barton had finished his meal and left for class to ask Coral.
“Why did you suddenly decide to have lunch with Barton today? As far as I know you don’t spend a lot of time in
Greenfield.”
The icy demeanor on Coral’s face vanished in an instant
“In high school, Barton’s grades have consistently been at the top of his class. Recently, though, he’s slipped to
being ranked over two hundred. His head/ teacher called me about it, so I came back from overseas. With
standardized tests around the corner, I’m worried something’s been bothering him.”
Maja stirred her coffee, deep in thought. She knew that Barton, with his good looks and academic prowess, must be
popular at school. But his demeanor was so similar to Coral’s, it was as if he was trying to mimic her. Coral was
somewhat aloof, and as a writer, she tended to get lost in her own world, rarely connecting with others
Loving a woman like that could leave one feeling helpless.
And in that helplessness, one might resort to desperate measures to bring het back
Maja had an idea “Coral, your script won’t be lacking investors. The chances of you picking me are slim, but I really

many young people who might be able to get through to him. Perhaps Barton would be willing to confide in me?”
Coral looked at her skeptically “If you’re trying to get Barton into show business. Ms. Pennyfeather, forget it. I know
how dirty this circle can
“No, I just want to help Barton open up”
Coral was skeptical Since she came back, she had been trying to talk to Barton, but he had been evasive On the
surface, he seemed as as before, but something was off She just couldn’t put her finger on what it was
“Alright if you can truly help Barton, then I’ll choose your investment for my script. But be prepared, without some
hundreds of millions, we the effect I want”
“Don’t worry, Coral”
Maja breathed a sigh of relief, a smile creeping onto her face.
Once she got back to her car, she checked her phone to find new messages from lan
[Still feeling dizzy, but I have an international meeting tonight
[Are you planning to ignore me forever?
[You haven’t visited since Grandpa Holden passed. Want to go together tomorrow?
Maja found herself unable to refute the last message
