Chapter 154?Shut up, idiot!
Inside Jenny's space ring, there were endless interesting things.
A group of butterflies appeared out of nowhere with a casual gesture, and Jenny effortlessly conjured up mesmerizing magic tricks.
The children opened their curious eyes wide and exclaimed in amazement.
The courtyard was filled with a joyful atmosphere.
From the beginning, Roland was astonished, but later on, he simply brought over a small stool and sat on the side, watching.
A smile would occasionally appear on his face, matching the smiles of the children.
There seemed to be a source of joy emanating from this girl, capable of making people involuntarily smile, and their gaze couldn't help but follow her.
Sometimes, he couldn't help but wonder if this was truly the rumored queen of the ball. Her lovely smile when she was with the children was incredibly pure and beautiful.
Jenny played with the children for a whole hour and even gave each child a delicate little gift. She promised to come and play with them again next time.
"You want to establish a school in the Abyss?" Walking on the tranquil path, Jenny looked at Roland with surprise.
"Yes, it's currently the best way I can think of to heal them and perhaps expand their horizons, giving them more choices," Roland said.
"Are you saying... there has never been a school in the Abyss before?" Jenny asked, her face filled with shock.
Roland glanced at her, realizing that she was surprised by this fact, and nodded.
"I've heard that the Abyss is quite chaotic, but I never imagined that there wouldn't even be a single school. How did the children spend their childhood?" Jenny felt her perspective being completely refreshed.
The Calva Medical Academy's reputation extends throughout the Isar continent, and in addition to that, there are ten different types of schools, including a dedicated girls' academy.
The school fees are extremely low, ensuring that children from Calva can all attend.
This was established by Calva from the very beginning and has continuously developed over the past thousand years, forming a good talent cultivation mechanism.
It is also the foundation that has allowed Calva to grow to its current scale.
She never expected that just a wall away, in the Abyss, there wouldn't even be a single school.
And what Roland planned to do was to establish the first school for the children of the Abyss.
"It is precisely because there isn't one that we must build it." Roland's voice was not loud, but his tone was resolute.
Jenny looked at him and felt his image suddenly grow tall.
Even his uncle, President Harold, couldn't escape the businessman's profit-oriented mindset.
Adopting so many homeless children and establishing a school in the abyss, none of these were lucrative endeavors.
But Roland still intended to do it, and he was already in the process.
"Good, I'll invest in this project," Jenny said, raising her hand and revealing a heavy pink money pouch.
"Here are two hundred gold coins as the initial funding for the school. Will it be enough?"
Roland glanced at the weighty money pouch and then at Jenny's serious expression. He couldn't help but smile and shake his head slightly.
"The initial scale of the school won't be large, and we won't lack funds. I can still provide the necessary funds."
"No, you have to take this money. It's one of the few investments I make, and when we start making money in the future, you'll have to give me a share," Jenny insisted and stuffed the money pouch into Roland's hand.
"This investment might never yield any dividends," Roland reminded her as he held onto the money pouch.
"Do you think I'm someone who cares about those trifling sums?" Jenny looked at him with a determined expression.
Roland thought her statement made sense.
After all, she was the young lady of the Carol family.
Two hundred gold coins might be a sum that an ordinary person couldn't earn in a lifetime, but to her, it was just pocket money for ten or fifteen days.
"Be more daring and take bigger steps. If we don't recruit a hundred students during the initial phase, can we even call it a school?
If we lack funds, just talk to me.
As an investor, feel free to request a budget of up to one billion," Jenny said confidently, patting her chest.
Roland:...
Although he felt like he was freeloading, why did it also feel good?
Recruiting a hundred students during the initial phase completely exceeded his expectations.
But Jenny was right, a school with just a dozen students would be too shabby. It might be a good idea to help those children overcome their emotional barriers and allow them to interact with more peers.
So, he decided to set a small goal of recruiting a hundred students during the initial phase.
"We're not short on money for now, but we do lack teachers," Roland said, looking at her with increasingly passionate eyes.
"Are you suggesting I become a teacher?" Jenny looked at him strangely.
Roland nodded.
"Yes, you played well with the children before, and it was clear that they liked you."
"Although I graduated with excellent grades from the Calva Women's Academy and have extensive knowledge and high cultural literacy, being a teacher isn't my forte," Jenny's eyes rolled around playfully.
"How about making me the principal? When I was in school, my biggest dream was to become a principal and manage a group of teachers. I would also be able to give speeches on stage, whether there were actual events or not."
"Once you start teaching, I'll let you be the vice principal," Roland stated in his condition.
"Vice principal?" Ginny pondered for a moment and nodded, "Deal."
"However, you'll have to arrange fewer courses for me. After all, I'm quite busy and can't guarantee that I'll come to the abyss to teach the children every day," Ginny made her request.
"No problem," Roland nodded. He also knew that Ginny liked to socialize and attend parties.
What he valued more was Ginny's identity.
Having the heiress of the Carol family as the vice principal could silence internal criticisms within the family.
Additionally, it could serve as an endorsement for recruiting outstanding teachers.
Perhaps they could even recruit experienced teachers from Calva.
"Well, if it isn't our little clan chief. How come you've gathered so many mongrels and brought back some little fairies from outside?"
"I heard rumors that he only likes young girls. It seems like it's just a rumor. Isn't he all-inclusive?"
At that moment, two gloomy voices sounded from behind the two.
Roland's face darkened.
Without even looking back, he knew it was the two brothers, Alvin and Alva. Ever since the patriarch made him the sole heir, their animosity towards him had been completely undisguised.
It was one thing for them to gossip behind his back on a normal day, but today, they spread rumors and insulted the reputations of those little girls and Ginny. He couldn't stomach it anymore.
"Which dog is barking so recklessly?" However, Ginny turned around a step ahead of him, smiling as she looked at the two brothers.
"Oh, it's just two mangy dogs."
Alvin and Alva were initially startled by Ginny's beautiful appearance. But upon hearing her words, their anger flared up.
"Who do you think you are, a lowly woman, daring to be so insolent even in the Duru Manor?" Alvin glared at her, his voice harsh.
"You're just a little fairy; do you dare to offend me in the abyss?!"
"Don't think you're all that just because you're with Roland. In this family, he still has to address us as 'brothers'!" Alva chimed in, his gaze fixed on Ginny.
"This truly is an extraordinary little fairy. Look at her attire. Roland must have spent quite a sum on her. I must report this to Father. Fortunately, we can throw some dirt at her in front of the elders."
"Scum? This is the first time I've heard someone insult me like that. Interesting, interesting," Jenny's smile grew stronger on her face.
"So, even in the abyss, can you two still challenge me?"
Roland initially wanted to step forward to intervene, but he noticed two figures approaching quickly from a distance, so he stopped and paused.
Alvin noticed Roland's subtle movements and thought that he was caught red-handed hiring a prostitute and lacked confidence.
He became even more arrogant and pointed at Jenny, cursing, "I won't touch you, but I can make sure you won't be able to move an inch in the abyss.
You should know that I am the eldest son of the Duru family. A lowly person like you, who sells her body, should kneel and beg for mercy!"
Alva also sensed the implications in his brother's words. Although he hadn't seen this little fairy wandering around Amman Street since he arrived, he thought that there would be no taboos since she was a prostitute.
He grinned lasciviously and said, "That's right. If we report this to our patriarch, Roland's inheritance as the family heir will be revoked. So, how do you plan to make us keep quiet? My dear brother."
"Shut up, you fools!"
A furious voice exploded from behind the two of them. A figure rushed over and kicked them both in the kneepits. With two loud thuds, they knelt in front of Jenny.
The intense pain from their knees hitting the ground turned Alvin's and Alva's faces into a liver-like color.
Filled with anger, they raised their heads, only to meet Kenneth's fierce and menacing face.
"Father?!"
Both of them were stunned.
"Father, Roland hired a prostitute..."
Alvin's words were interrupted by a resounding slap from Kenneth.
Alvin's head buzzed, and his face immediately swelled up, looking bewildered.
Alva, beside him, also froze and involuntarily shrunk his head, afraid that the next slap would land on his face.
Only then did they notice that Joseph, the patriarch, had also arrived.
But why were they the ones being beaten when it was Roland who hired the prostitute?
"Miss Jenny, my two useless sons lack discipline and have offended you. I hope you, as an adult, can forgive them and let me discipline them properly," Kenneth looked at Jenny with a face full of apology, even slightly bowing.
Joseph also approached and looked at Roland standing side by side with Jenny. He too wore a guilty expression and said, "Miss Jenny, I am Joseph, the patriarch of the Duru family.
My two nephews have insulted you greatly. I will punish them according to our family rules. Please forgive us."
Alvin and Alva's eyes widened gradually.
Even if they were idiots, they could tell from Joseph's and Kenneth's tone and attitude toward her that she was not just any prostitute. She was probably a young lady from some influential family.
Even Diana, if she were here, wouldn't make their father so submissive.
So, who exactly was this little fairy?
"They called me a prostitute and said they would make it impossible for me to move an inch in the abyss. I'm so scared," Jenny covered her chest, but she couldn't show any fear on her face.
Her voice turned cold as she continued, "I am from the Carol family, and no one has ever insulted me like this before. My brothers would be very angry if they heard about this, don't you think?"
