If she could marry General Karls, she might become the most envied woman in the Federation. Not only would she no longer have to live in the shadow of Alice and endure those who ignored and treated her coldly, but she could also become a person of great renown.
She would treat even Effie with utmost respect, instead of being cold and indifferent as she was now. She would be surrounded by people, flattered and fawned over. That would be the best life. But that little bit of expectation in her heart was completely extinguished after Alice threw herself into Karl's arms, leaving her heartbroken.
Alice already has so much love, why isn't she satisfied and wants to take even more?
Kerry was perfectly fine, but she still clung tightly to General Karls.
“I have no relation to Miss Field.” Kerry was fed up with people always bringing up his relationship with Alice, and besides, if Lori was unintentional, Kerry sensed that the dark-haired girl seemed to have a different meaning.
“Senior Kerry.” Jasmine’s face immediately turned red.
If her feelings for Kars were merely admiration and ambition, then her feelings for Kerry were genuine affection. This handsome young man was exceptionally talented, and he came from a prestigious family. Although he was still very young, his brilliance was already undeniable. Without a doubt, in a few years, he too would become a legend in the Federation.
Jasmine fell in love with Kerry the first time she saw him. When she heard him deny his relationship with Alice, she felt a pang of regret, but mostly joy and happiness. It was Kerry's distance from Alice that made her feel that there were still people in this world who didn't fall for Alice's charms.
Kerry simply nodded slightly to Jasmine and said calmly, "Don't say the wrong thing again. I'm fine, but Alice is a girl, and her reputation is very important."
Even a young Kerry felt that the idea of Alice being two-timing would damage her reputation, making her seem like a scheming, promiscuous girl who wavered between the two brothers.
Jasmine's face turned deathly pale, and she whispered, "I didn't mean to."
"Whether it's intentional or unintentional, don't say such annoying things again." Lori disliked the black-haired girl and said coldly.
Tears streamed down the black-haired girl's face, and she whispered, "I'm sorry."
"Did I bully her?" Seeing the girl suddenly burst into tears, looking terrified, Lori couldn't help but show a hint of doubt.
Seeing Shen Wangshu smiling and shaking his head at her, she felt relieved. However, looking at Jasmine's tearful appearance, she still said with some dissatisfaction, "Are you really that weak? You can't even handle a single word. You're so timid. Do you expect to go to the front lines crying your way down like this?" Most students from the Federal Academy would go to the front lines after graduation.
.
They are the backbone of the military and the main force in combat, because they received their training in warfare at the academy.
The soldiers of the Federation are usually very strong, and there aren't many like Jasmine who are prone to crying.
Thinking of this, Luo Li couldn't help but compare Shen Wangshu and Jasmine.
Although she appears to be a delicate and innocent girl, Alice can calmly take command when a crisis occurs, and is willing to give her life for it.
But this Jasmine... all she knows is to cry, beg, and undermine morale.
Beneath their delicate exteriors lie two contrasting personalities: one a strong spirit, the other a cowardly heart.
Two people who seem similar, even with identical expressions and mannerisms, are actually quite different. No one likes a truly weak companion.
Lori snorted coldly, withdrew her gaze, and said softly, "Pretentious. Someone like you shouldn't be studying at the Federal Academy; you should be attending a ladies' school!"
"Senior..." Jasmine called out tremblingly.
She looked pitifully at Shen Wangshu, who was watching coldly from the sidelines, and pleaded softly with tears streaming down her face, "I'm worried about Alice too. Alice, please ask your senior to stop being angry with me."
She grew up with Alice and knew all too well that Alice had a very soft heart and couldn't bear to see others cry. The fact that she was still able to stay in the Fields without being kicked out by Effie was all thanks to Alice pleading with Effie. She knew that if she were kicked out of the Fields, she would have no future.
Moreover, with no woman by his side now, Jasmine couldn't help but feel a little more hopeful.
The Carls family is a prominent family in the Federation. If she were just an orphan, she wouldn't be able to become Kerry's wife.
However, if she stayed with the Field family, she would be nominally an adopted daughter, which would make her a suitable match for Clement in terms of social status.
Noble families rarely marry commoners.
"I'm not angry with you, I just couldn't stand your repeated slander. I'm sorry, I can't plead for you, because I don't think you said anything wrong." Shen Wangshu nestled her small body in Karls's arms and said pitifully, "Jasmine, you need to watch your mouth and stop talking nonsense. Don't you really know how much those words hurt me?"
She looked at Jasmine with clear eyes, and the black-haired girl was immediately speechless, clearly feeling that the innocent Alice shouldn't have said such things.
“Alright, if you’re just here to question this, then you can leave now,” Lori said, tilting her head back.
The black-haired girl hesitated for a moment.
"Alice and I just survived a close call..." she said hesitantly, looking at Shen Wangshu. "They all say that many people will interview us after we return to the Federation. Alice, will you blame us who boarded the spaceship?"
