Quinlyn had simply been controlling her expression. Truthfully, she was on the verge of being completely annoyed by him.
Luke had been struggling for a while but finally asked Quinlyn to try to talk to him. "He's so stubborn. Otherwise, he wouldn't have driven Yolanda crazy.

After all, the adoptee would eventually get fed up with him.
Luke rubbed his slightly balding head as if considering her point. It made sense, in a way.
In the afternoon, after school, Quinlyn stepped out of the gate and immediately saw Chester setting up a small stall. "Hey, guys, there are delicious lollipops!" But after shouting for a while, no one cover to buy anything.
Chester's throat was sore, and after drinking swater, he tried to advertise again.
Quinlyn walked over to the stall, glanced at the poorly packaged candy, and spoke bluntly. "It's not eye-catching. The students like things that look good." Besides, there were many imported candies at the elite school.
"Well, this is a small business. I don't know much about it," Chester muttered. He had spent his tscamming people in the past, and this was his first trunning an honest business.
Since Quinlyn didn't know either, she decided to call Mandy over.
Mandy, the daughter of a real estate tycoon, immediately spotted the problem. She patted her chest confidently. "Leave it to me." After a quick phone call, Mandy brought in her family's marketing department.
Half an hour later, the rundown van had been transformed into a cute little food truck. Under a colorful sunshade, the candy display looked playful and charming with floral tablecloths and ribbons.

The three of them worked until it was tto pack up, and all the candy had been sold out.
Chester took off his mascot head, his face drenched in sweat, but his smile wouldn't fade. "Thank you so much. Here, this is your payment." He generously pulled out two twenty-dollar bills, handing one to each of them..
"Thanks! We'll be back tomorrow." Quinlyn and Mandy carefully tucked the money into their pockets.
Although they were both quite wealthy, receiving payment still made them happy.
In the following days, business kept getting better. Sometimes, during breaks between classes, students would cto buy candy. By noon, the candy would be sold out.
Chester even set up a few tables and started selling desserts. He seemed to have a natural talent for making delicious sweets.
So, after school, Quinlyn and Mandy got even busier.

"Your classmates are so enthusiastic. I didn't expect the kids at an wiping his sweaty forehead while packing up the tables.
elite school to be so well-behaved," Chester remarked, "Of course, we have etiquette teachers. We're taught to behave properly in public. There are hardly any bad kids in school, like Harriet," Mandy explained while massaging her hands.
"Fine, I misunderstood," Chester said cheerfully as he brought out two new desserts, offering them to the girls. "In a couple of days, I'll hire a worker, and you won't have to helpso much. Thank you so much." Mandy quickly waved her hand. "No, we still want to earn spocket money. Besides, hiring someone is expensive." She had heard from Quinlyn that Chester was supporting his younger brother.
"Huh? Twenty dollars a day is too little for you guys," Chester said, patting Mandy's head through the mascot costume. "I know you're doing this out of kindness. You've already helpeda lot.
"Good things take time. For a long-term business like this, it's all about taking things step by step. You focus on your studies. After school, cby, and I'll treat you to a free dessert." "Alright then," Mandy said.
Quinlyn, who was usually quiet, watched the interaction from the side and thought it was incredibly cute.
The next day, without having to work, Mandy went to her extracurricular class. Quinlyn tutored a classmate, and by the tshe left school, it was quite late.
The area outside the school gate was as crowded as usual.
As Quinlyn was about to peek at Chester's stall, she overheard a group of students arguing loudly.
"What is all this crap? It doesn't taste good at all. Why are you always setting up shop here? Do you even have a health permit?" "I do. Everything is in order. I'm a law-abiding citizen," Chester replied calmly.
"Then this area doesn't allow street vendors. You better leave." 9/2 80% 12:05 Sat, 29 Mar Chapter 184 ۲۱ Chester had anticipated many possible situations and made sure to prepare all the required documents and permits, But these students wouldn't listen to reason. No matter what he said, they didn't want to back down. Chester was sweating in frustration. "Is there a rule against setting up here?" Just then, Quinlyn pushed through the crowd and stood in front of Chester.
"Quinlyn? You again," one of the students sneered, not even bothering to hide their disdain. "What are you doing hanging out with people like him? Don't you feel embarrassed? Oh, wait, I forgot. You're not even from a prestigious family." Chester, who had been trying to keep a polite smile, immediately dropped the act. He was about to step forward when Quinlyn raised her hand to stop him.
The group of students stared at Quinlyn, unnerved by her silence and the unblinking intensity of her gaze. "Quinlyn, you don't have parents. We do, so you can't win against us," one of them said.
Quinlyn remained silent.
"You're an orphan, so why act so high and mighty?" another one chimed in.
"You're so ugly. No one wants you. You're kind of like him, actually. Why don't you just let him be your dad? He's the type who could be your father." One of the girls mocked.
The surrounding students were getting increasingly uncomfortable with the insults, and seven began to speak up, but Quinlyn remained motionless.
Then, Quinlyn took a step forward and stood in front of them. Her gaze still locked on their faces, she asked, "Why are you lying?" Everyone around her froze, including the students in front of her.
"W-we didn't," the group stammered, clearly flustered, their eyes darting away.
"When you were insulting me, your hands and voices were shaking, and you couldn't even lookin the eye,” Quinlyn pointed out, before reaching into her pocket and pulling out a few lollipops, handing them to them. "You don't have to be scared. I'm really good at protecting people. And if not, I have many elders and friends who can help," she added.

The soft wrapping paper crinkled in their hands. Looking into Quinlyn's sincere eyes, the students couldn't Ve hold the emotions anymore and broke down, bursting into tears. "It's them they made us cause trouble. We didn't want to. I'm sorry, Quinlyn." Following the direction of their pointing fingers, Quinlyn saw a black car speeding away in the distance at the intersection. But even from that distance, she could make out the face of the person in the car window.
