Billionaire Assassin

Chapter 34: Tommy's dream

“If you can teach it, teach it! I'm tired!" Lana threw the cane on the ground and went straight into the room, leaving Joseph and Tommy in the living room.

A few maids passing by saw that Lana was gone, so they hurriedly brought the wound medicine to Mr. Joseph so he could apply it to Tommy. He grinned at him. On the contrary, he also patted Tommy's ass, causing him to struggle and scream.

Mr. Joseph gently said to Tommy: “Go to school! That much rest is enough! Do you still want to make me more tired? Don't let her become the devil again, okay?"

Tommy looked at him and sighed, nodding even though he didn't want to go to school at all in his heart. Like his brother Jake, he enjoys daily leisurely strolling around the corporate headquarters.

There is not a single son in the family with a history of business that is not passionate about discovering the beauty of money. Tommy knew that his half-brother had an affair with Lana, but deep down, he still cared and admired him.

It's just that the love and respect he had for Lana and Jake was gone.

After Mr. Joseph entered the room to comfort Lana, Lana also snuck out to the rocky shore in the town park and watched the waves. In his heart, Tommy vaguely thought of the prospect that he would one day be a captain.

On that day, he will proudly hold the rudder firmly in the hand of a Thunder Electronics boat that goes far to the sea to complete the voyages of ample sunshine and wind.

Tommy suddenly remembered Jake. From a young age, when he was led to the mansion of the Hunt family by, his mother was always the one to take care of and protect him from other neighborhood children.

He also sacrificed his dream to rush to the front of the storm to earn money to cover expenses for his family in difficult times. However, Tommy did not receive any words of love from Jake for him.

He had to live and endure his coldness for a long time to the point of boredom. That is Tommy's heart so far.

Now, his family is working on countless large projects on information technology infrastructure in Long Beach. The whole family wanted to support Jake, so they came to take care of him, but he rarely set foot in the resort mansion.

Each business trip lasted a month or two, sometimes three months, before returning home and quietly disappearing like a cloud across the sky.

At times, Tommy felt that the two brothers' fates seemed opposite. He was sitting blankly looking at the horizon where the waves were rippling a noisy dance along with the eagle trees that were gradually bare of leaves because of the sea breeze. A hand from behind patted Tommy's shoulder so hard that he almost crashed into the sand.

Tommy frowned, mumbling curses when he heard the familiar laugh: "You've been truant enough! Want not to graduate or something?”

"My business, you don't need to care!" Tommy turned to look at his best friend - Nicolas Finn.

He was the silliest kid in town when he risked his life to be friends with you since childhood. Understandably, many people are here to make friends, except for the little people who struggle to live every day.

Nicolas Finn sat down beside Tommy and spoke softly to him. “Because you are my friend. Go to school, heard that the school is about to have a teacher if you don't go to school, the teacher and the homeroom teacher will come to that house. It's troublesome!"

“Is there a teacher? I thought this place was where the devil took it. No one wanted to go back?" Tommy looked at Nicolas Finn and then laughed.

He ruffled his fur, got angry at Tommy, and began to sound like a farce: “Are you crazy? After all, you are the son of the Chairman of Thunder Electronics Corporation."

They both laughed and looked at the sea in silence. Tommy sighed and told Nicolas Finn that he would sail out to sea one day rather than stay here. He wanted to lie in the cabin, listening to the waves lapping the side of the boat to lull him to sleep.

Nicolas thinks his dreams are too ordinary and selfish. It said Jake had to give up his hopes of becoming a sailor, so at least Tommy shouldn't waste his future.

Tommy was as silent as the sea when standing in the wind. He lay down on the sand facing the sunning boats. Tommy secretly wished Jake would return to the mainland soon.

Nicolas couldn't understand him because he wanted to use a silly metonymy to talk about his boring and pitiful life. He tosses and turns with endless thoughts about the future as uncertain as the horizon glittering with the silver light of the sea.

The following day, Tommy voluntarily went to school without curses from Lana. This made Mr. Joseph very proud, and even Lana surprised.

He told her to be gentle. Maybe Jake would be obedient. In response to his advice was the bitterness in her eyes that made him silent, not daring to say anything more.

Nicolas Finn picked up Jake to school on a skinny bike that seemed to whine from home to school. Jake repeatedly advised Nicolas Finn to give this bike a rest, but its stingy nature never left anything alone.

He kept talking and nagging like Lana. The two had just walked straight into the school when they almost bumped into a teacher trying to adjust the hem of her pale pink ao dai.

What caught Tommy's eyes was the small, slightly pink face of the newly touched Long Beach sea breeze. He looked at the card on his chest. Her name was Aurora, an intern at this school.

He had never met the girl standing in front of him. She flashed a small smile like a maple flower on a sunny day. The two looked at each other for a long time. A nearby student whispered in her ear.

Aurora frowned slightly, her lips moving like a strange silvery wave whispering the enchanting voice of the sea: "Your name is Tommy, right?"

He nodded, trying to create a standard, lovely image of an obedient student, but received a harsh answer slapping his face: "Go to the teacher's room."

Nicolas Finn heard that, then hugged his stomach and laughed and told Tommy to reduce his unrealistic fantasy lifestyle when he kept thinking Aurora would be interested in him.

Nicolas Finn looked at Jake's limp gait and teased him non-stop, finally being threatened by Aurora's glare and shooting him to rush back to class.

From the teacher's room, a figure slowly glided by in a sky-blue Ao Dai studded with tiny crystals just enough to reflect the sparkle of the Long Beach sun. Helena Kingham's close friend, beauty queen of the University of Pedagogy.

Helena did not hesitate to take Aurora's hand and remind her: "Didn't you maintain this image on the first day of class? They are high school students. Watch out for systematic evaluation. Poor pedagogy!"

Aurora raised her eyebrows a few times, trying to appear okay, but she was distraught when she realized that her actions were unprofessional. She sighed and whispered to Helena Kingham's, praying that she wouldn't become the 'scapegoat' of the high school students.

Aurora will try to stay calm through this six-month-long internship in Long Beach. Aurora wondered if her dean was too complacent when she combined a four-month teaching internship with two months of summer volunteering there. Aurora did not dare to believe that, at that time, she was too reckless to raise her hand to agree with his controversial idea.

Aurora, thinking about it, didn't have anything to do during the two summer months. What can an orphan living in a school dormitory do for fun? Instead, Aurora herself turns her idle time into something useful for society as well as a bit of achievement in life. Aurora entered the teacher's room in a cheerful mood when an elderly teacher's arm patted her shoulder.

Aurora recognized it as the Vice-Principal. She bowed to him and replied in a half-humorous, half-serious tone: "Miss Aurora, are you assigned to Tommy's class?"

"Yes, that's right." Aurora happily smiled at the Vice-Principal, but she felt something was wrong because the teacher's smile was not like a usual social smile.

The Vice Principal patted Aurora's shoulder and walked away with one last sentence that made her think. “Congratulations, Miss Aurora! If four months of internship here you can make Tommy go to school normally, then I will propose to the Board of Directors for her to achieve the highest score this term."

Aurora went straight to the teacher's room and saw Tommy sitting on a chair with a very liberal appearance without a bit of fear like other students. Soon, she realized that he was too much of an obstacle for her.

Aurora sat down across from Tommy. Her expression pretended to be as cold as a dead fish and made him laugh.

Aurora raised her eyebrows very high, her fingers tapping rhythmically on the table: "I don't think you have any regrets after the sins you have done, right?"
