Wendy frowned and looked at Ivan. She asked stonily, “Is there anything else?”

Ivan’s expression changed. His arrogant and haughty demeanor from before was long gone. He was simply a sore loser right now. “Since Jasper has so much money, can you put in a word for me?

Help me out. We are all classmates. You can’t watch me go down like this, right?” He said with a pathetic stance.
