Chapter 18 Her New Desk Mate

The room, just a moment ago full of whispers, went totally silent.

Everyone automatically leaned in, eyes wide, locked on the quiet yet striking new student.

“Why don’t you introduce yourself, the homeroom teacher prompted softly.

The boy lifted his gaze just a little. His dark eyes caught the light from above–deep black, speckled like starlight in ink.

“My name’s Asher. Nice to meet you.”

Short and simple. His voice was soft but sharp, like a chill breeze brushing past in the early morning–cool, clear, and a little detached.

Jean froze for a beat when she heard it. Her eyes flickered.

Asher Lawson?

Wait. Isn’t he the main male lead in the novel!

Right now, standing in front of her, was none other than the younger version of the story’s central heartthrob.

Jean thought hard, flipping through the storyline in her head.

Asher was originally the illegitimate son of the wealthy Lawson family. His mom had gotten pregnant by accident and raised. him all on her own, never knowing who his father was or where to even start looking.

Still, this was Asher–the male lead. His life started rough, but he was never meant to be ordinary.

He’d gone to a regular, no–name school until he crushed a national academic competition, took gold, and got personally scouted by the principal of Stellarford Academy.

That was how he ended up transferring into the elite school.

Stellarford might’ve been packed with trust fund kids, but it was still the most elite private academy out there. And like any top–tier institution, they had numbers to hit.

So whenever a true genius showed up, Stellarford made room–and handed out scholarships like gold–plated invitations.

For someone like Asher, who didn’t come from money, that scholarship offer was inpossible to walk away from.

Which meant right now, this was exactly the part of the story when he made the jump into Stellarford.

Once Asher enrolled at Stellarford Academy, he was going to level up fast–and along the way, he’d start piecing together the truth about where he came from.

The current Hossman of the Lawson family was Thomas–the same Thomas who, just a few days ago, tried to set his sister up with Dominic. He was all flash, no substance. A classic bootlicker. Later in the plot, once Asher reclaimed his place in the Lawson family, he absolutely wrecked Thomas and took over.

And it didn’s stop there.
