Chapter 1038 The Dem Family
There was a slight recent change that had occurred within the Dem family, which was somewhat against Gary's wishes, but in the end, he had been convinced by Kai that it was the best thing.
This was all to do with Maya Dem and Amy Dem, Gary's mother and sister.
For a long time, Maya had been staying in a luxury apartment in Cipen with one of her closest friends, White.
It was deemed a relatively safe place, as on the ground floor there were several members of the Howlers. On top of that, Crowley, one of the top teachers at the AFA, also lived at the apartment.
It was unlikely that such a place would be attacked, and there weren’t many who knew about the location.
When Maya had woken up from the hospital, she too had stayed at the same location, but Kai didn’t like this.
The attack on Slough from the Phoenix Gang had put too much worry on his mind, and he was afraid of what could happen to Gary if his family was used against him.
So the proposal was to let them both move out of Slough. It was clear why Gary was against this.
In Slough, they had the entire Howlers Gang protecting his family, and it was where Gary was located.
At a moment's notice, he could go and help them.
However, Kai had reminded him that he would always be the main target, from other Kings as a King himself, and from the other Alpha.
He was the only werewolf in his family after all. The chances of someone attacking Slough were high.
To make Gary feel at ease, their names were scrubbed from every directory as much as possible, severing the connection between him and his family.
Not many knew about his family in the first place, and this would make it even harder. With that, Maya, Amy, and White all moved out of Slough and into Ashen City.
The home of AJ Entertainment as well as a place that was still under the Howlers' control.
Although the fight against the Phoenix Gang had affected AJ Entertainment, it had only impacted its business side; the city itself was virtually unaffected.
Also, with how much talent came in and out of the city, a large number of wealthy individuals lived in Ashen City, which led to some of the top universities in the country being located there.
Inside one of the lecture halls, the bell rang, signaling the end of the class, and for both Amy and White, it was the end of the day.
"Ah!" Amy said, slamming her head on top of the table. "What was I thinking, trying to become a doctor of all things?"
"Just because I was good in school, I thought this would be a walk in the park, but I have several more years of this!"
White, beside her, was diligently scribbling away the notes left on the board, and in her notebook, they were broken down even further.
"You know you didn’t have to take this as your major too," Amy said. "I hate the fact that you had to come with me."
"It was my choice to come with you," White said as she closed the notebook and slid it over to Amy. "Although I was asked, I wasn’t forced to do this. We've lived together for a long time now, and it would feel awkward."
"But you could have at least taken another major or done something else. Every time we walk down the street, there are so many scouts that approach you. Why don’t you do something like that?" Amy asked.
Amy wasn’t lying. A number of modeling agencies, as well as acting offers, had approached her, and they were legitimate offers, unlike what some people received.
Her pale skin and slender figure, along with her cold yet beautiful eyes, attracted a lot of attention.
"I don’t like to be used by others, not again anyway," White commented. "For me, all of my joy comes from helping you, which is why I do my best to pick up the slack where you lack."
White often remembered her past under the control of Olivia. It had left a deep scar in her heart.
She could trust almost no one, no matter how nice they appeared on the outside, or what they claimed was for her benefit.
She only trusted one person, and that was Gary Dem. For him, she would do anything, and her role was to look after his sister.
Although in her mind it started as her doing a favor, the line between Gary and Amy blurred for White, and she saw the two as somewhat the same people.
It was truly fulfilling for her to look after Amy. If it was something she had to do for the rest of her life, then so be it.
"Thank you, I do appreciate it. I just feel bad," Amy replied.
"Don't feel bad. Trust me, I wouldn’t want to do anything else," White replied.
Noticing that everyone else had left the lecture room already, the two of them got up and started to go through the long corridors of the university, eventually leading them outside onto the school grounds.
There were hundreds of students spread out, talking to each other, flirting with each other, and doing a number of other things. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
For the two of them, it was still a fairly new city, and they hadn’t made many friends.
"Ah, I think tomorrow Ash said he wanted to meet us to show us around," White claimed.
"Yes, let the head of AJ Entertainment give us a tour. Not like that will make us stand out. I’m sure he’s just trying to please my brother," Amy replied.
"I think he’s just a kind man. We should take him up on his offer," White replied.
As the two continued to walk down one of the wide streets, on the opposite side, a hooded man paused and turned around.
"Isn’t that… I know her, don’t I?" Raven said.
