Chapter 577:
One of the boys shook his head. “Clement, you’re asking the wrong thing. It’s easy for Fernanda to get anyone she wants. The mystery is, how did someone actually manage to catch her heart? After all, so many guys tried, and she turned them all down, didn’t she?”
Nodding thoughtfully at this new angle, Clement turned back to Fernanda with earnest curiosity. “So, Fernanda, care to share? We…”
Before he could continue, Fernanda cut in, her voice clear and slightly amused as she raised a hand to stop him. “I’m not deaf, Clement. I heard you all right. There’s not much to it, really. Things just fell into place naturally.”
Clement recoiled, shock etching his features.
“I don’t believe it,” he murmured, casting a doubtful glance at Fernanda. “It can’t possibly be that straightforward.”
“Trust me, it’s as straightforward as I say. You’re making it more complex than it needs to be,” Fernanda responded with a slight chuckle, tapping him lightly on the forehead. “Are you really sitting here, trying to figure out the mysteries of love with me when you’ve never experienced it yourself? Come on, take a break from it.”
Clement felt a jab of indignation.
“I’m exhausted. It’s time for you all to go back.” Fernanda yawned widely, her fatigue evident. “Seeing you all doing well really settles my mind. Just stick to the plan and head to Esaham after the New Year. Let me know once you arrive.”
Clement, energized by determination, exclaimed, “I’m fully prepared. Let’s build a future together!”
The other boys also voiced their support.
With a flourish, Clement handed over a bank card to Fernanda.
“This represents the proceeds from the arcade sale. All the legal formalities are complete, and the ownership was officially transferred before the New Year. I planned to give this to you when we reached Esaham, but seeing you now, why delay? The thought of losing it always looms over me.”

Fernanda had pioneered the arcade mentioned by Clement four years ago, establishing the first large-scale entertainment hub in Zhota. Back then, she was just fifteen, freshly relocated to the town alongside Hiram, burning with a desire to carve out her own path.
With a modest fortune already amassed from astute stock trading—a skill imparted by Mr. Bernard—she nurtured a passion for gaming. This inspired her to envision her own arcade.
She deftly negotiated for a prime storefront and procured an array of gaming equipment. Despite her inexperience and the myriad hurdles she encountered, Fernanda successfully founded her arcade.
Initially, skeptics scoffed at the idea of an arcade run by a mere teenage girl. The place quickly became a center of turmoil—fights erupted, patrons played without paying, and some even dared to pilfer the machines.
However, it didn’t take long for her detractors to recognize their misjudgment. Despite her youth, Fernanda displayed a formidable and resolute spirit in the face of confrontation.
