Transmigrated as the Villain Boss's Precious Darling-Chapter 101: The Female Lead is a Green Tea

Jacqueline Spann’s resentment toward Tang Xiaonan deepened. ’It’s all this fat girl’s fault for causing trouble. For some reason, nothing good ever happens when I run into her. She’s just as annoying as her three brothers.’

Clayton Xavier was completely immersed in a sea of knowledge, utterly oblivious to Jacqueline Spann’s restlessness. He was devouring new information like a man starved. Jacqueline shot him a mournful glance, feeling a little wronged.

’Why does he have to finish it today?’

’We could always come back another time. Unlike her, Clayton Xavier can get away whenever he wants. It’s so hard for her to make a trip into the city. If she can’t find out what she needs to this time, who knows when she’ll get another chance.’

Jacqueline Spann’s eyes lit up when she saw Adrian Hawthorne and his group come in. She walked over to Adrian, smiled gently, and asked, "Are you all here to buy books too?"

It was as if she had completely forgotten the earlier unpleasantness. Tang Xiaonan snorted, wanting nothing to do with the hypocritical woman. ’I’m only now realizing the author beautified the female lead way too much. The real one isn’t so wonderful. She’s actually kind of bitchy—the exact type of ’green tea’ girl Tang Xiaonan despises.’ 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Adrian Hawthorne gave a slight nod, considering it a greeting. Gentry Chapman’s face flushed red as he gave a shy smile, his heart pounding away. ’This girl is so pretty, prettier than the most beautiful girl at my school. And her voice sounds so nice.’

Jacqueline Spann caught a glimpse of Gentry Chapman’s flustered state out of the corner of her eye, and her confidence returned. ’I’m just as popular as I’ve always been. It’s the Thorne family and Adrian Hawthorne who are the strange ones.’

"Kenneth, could you lend me ten cents? I’ll pay you back when I get home," Jacqueline Spann pleaded in a low voice.

’If I can just buy that book, I can go to the movie theater. There’s still enough time. Maybe I can find out about the postcards today!’

Adrian Hawthorne said flatly, "I have just enough money to buy my books. I can’t spare a single cent."

Normally, he would have lent her the ten cents, but right now, he didn’t want to.

The smile on Jacqueline Spann’s face turned awkward. "Oh, sorry about that..."

Gentry Chapman’s heart ached seeing Jacqueline Spann like this, and he blurted out, "I’ll lend it to you."

He happened to have the fifty cents Phoebe Thorne had given him to take his cousins out for snacks, but he hadn’t spent a single cent. He could lend Jacqueline Spann ten cents.

A smile bloomed on Jacqueline Spann’s face like a spring flower. She glanced at Gentry Chapman and felt a little disappointed. ’He’s so plain-looking, and he seems kind of dopey. His clothes don’t make him look like a rich kid, either.’

"Thank you..."

Despite her disappointment, Jacqueline Spann thanked him gratefully. Gentry Chapman gave an honest smile and took the money out of his pocket, but—

"You have money on you but you won’t treat me and Xiaonan to something good? You’re itching for a beating, aren’t you? Hand it over!"

Patrick Thorne snatched the fifty cents. ’Better to give it to a beggar than to that vixen’s daughter.’ Amanda Chapman also shot her brother a fierce glare. ’So generous to a stranger. Did he get his head caught in a door or something?’

"Just leave me ten cents. I already promised her."

Gentry Chapman pleaded in a small voice. He didn’t want to disappoint Jacqueline Spann.

"Promise, my ass! Amanda, you hold onto this money."

Patrick Thorne gave the money to Amanda Chapman. ’My cousin is more reliable, after all.’ Amanda took the money, shot a scornful look at Jacqueline Spann, and said loudly, "Don’t worry, I definitely won’t let anyone get scammed out of it."

’Mom won’t even spend money to go to the hospital, yet my idiot brother is generously lending money to a stranger. Ten cents can buy five boxes of matches or enough salt for two months. It’s no small sum.’

Jacqueline Spann’s face flushed crimson with shame and humiliation. Gentry Chapman looked at her guiltily. Jacqueline managed a helpless smile and said in a small voice, "Thank you anyway."

Gentry Chapman felt even worse. ’I broke my promise, but she didn’t even blame me. I’m so useless.’
