Jessica was one of Alex's classmates, but she didn't really stand out from the rest.
She was certainly pretty, but with beauties like Lavinia, Nessia, Evangeline, and Fran in the same class, she was like one of those faint stars surrounding the moon.
Her grades were also average, and like most girls in their class, she had a secret crush on Chuck.
After all, he was the most handsome boy in the class, and he was also the son of a Duke. For most ladies, he was ideal husband material.
Even now, that hadn't changed. However, Jessica must also acknowledge that although Alex wasn't a noble, he was still very popular with the ladies.
It was just that, instead of being charmed by him, most of them just feared him.
Alex was very friendly and easy to get along with.
But the ladies were intimidated by his boldness and shamelessness. His title of Blackmail King certainly didn't help.
