Richard spoke with a meaningful stare.“They're dealing with some things currently. I was able to pull some strings with one of the authorities in the campus clinic, and I secretly got you out with Mr. Terry. Then I brought you here.”Terry nodded his head to convey that he fully supported Richard's decision.“Buddy, Richard made the best decision. T.O.F. is far away from campus. I doubt those fucking assassins can get to you, considering that we were able to get off campus with stealth. Also, this is where you brought my mom to be treated, remember?”Gerald smiled slightly at this.“Oh, yeah! I almost forgot about that. How's your mom, by the way?”Terry nodded his head. Of course, he still had no idea that T.O.F Medical Tower was actually owned mainly by Gerald, who is the Heir Apparent of the Arnold family.“Mom still hasn't woken up, but the doctors have reassured me that she's completely out of the Red zone, and her chances of regaining consciousness are very high.”Gerald sighe

Gerald glanced around at the unfamiliar surroundings, but he quickly made sense of things and realized that he was in a hospital, lying in a hospital bed.“What the ….. how did I get here?”Gerald's voice felt incredibly croaky, bringing his dry throat to his attention. He was incredibly thirsty despite spitting on an IV tube that went into the back of his right palm.At that moment, he felt an intense headache strike him and his vision went blurry as noises filled his head briefly. Within this moment, the memories of what had happened at the chancellor’s office came flooding back into his mind.A lot had happened within the short time he was having the awkward conversation with Chancellor Vexley.The memories. Gerald began dissecting and digesting them. Something had caused him to start feeling that lengthy wave of unnatural fear coursing through his entire body while he was in that office, and it was hard to put it past the chancellor as the main culprit, considering that the older

Gerald shook his head as he felt his heart now starting to race, the fear coursing through his veins as he listened to the Chancellor's voice, which was starting to get agitating.“She was drunk and I helped her. That's it.”He definitely wasn't about to admit that he fucked Juliet in his penthouse right after they got to Lavish-Paradise Hotel. In fact, he felt like telling this old man that he had taken her straight to a high-end hotel would only cause more headaches.“Chancellor, what exactly do you want?”Gerald felt his heart racing intensely and he couldn't stop his hands from shaking at this point. Something was very wrong. That couldn't be any clearer. He had no idea why his body was reacting this way by itself, while he was exactly processing any fear-based thoughts to induce this kind of physical reaction in his own body.What was going on here? Meanwhile, Chancellor Vexley had a concealed look of satisfaction in his eyes as his face turned placid and he spoke with an autho

Despite the Chancellor's words, Gerald remained seated with a straight back, outwardly showing that he had nothing to be scared of.“Young man, aren't you on the scholarship program? Behaving this way, without an ounce of respect, I could easily ruin your life you know?”The older man snapped his fingers to emphasize his own words.“Just like that. I can come up with the most absurd reason to have your name removed from the list, you know? You can easily end up walking out of this building as an expelled student of Westbridge University.”Gerald stared at the chancellor with a slight smile and a measuring gaze. He didn't bother updating the man that he was no longer on the scholarship beneficiary list and was now a fully paying student of WU. His focus was placed on a more important concern.Chancellor Vexley didn't even take long to let it be fully known that he did not like him. The reason though, was a mystery he was now interested in finding out.“Chancellor, what have I done to

Chapter: Chapter 161
Abraham Vexley is a figurehead of Westbridge University who rarely shows himself in the public sphere of campus aside from the academic institution-related events that strictly demand his presence. Yet, his status is superior to that of Juliet's father, Julian Dalton, putting him at the top of the food chain.As mentioned earlier, Gerald didn't feel good about this sudden summons. It looked like the university Chancellor himself had wanted to chat with him, but didn't know any proper way to summon him, until he practically delivered himself to a lion's den he didn't know existed in the first place.He had come here, hoping to meet the Vice-Chancellor and ask about Juliet in person, yet, a detour was now what lay ahead of him.Gerald blinked at the woman who stood with a hand to her waist, glaring at him with what he could guess was impatience, understandably. He sighed as he gave in, and began moving to follow the secretary.Seeing this, Terry held his best friend's shoulder, whisper

Arriving at the counter, Gerald received news that the Vice-Chancellor, Professor Julian Dalton, was not in his office at the moment. In fact, he had not come in at all. Plus, they had to wait in the lobby to receive this news.“That's weird. Both father and daughter were absent on campus today.”Terry raised an eyebrow at his best friend after hearing him mutter those words to himself.“What are you talking about? Juliet's absence might have to do with yesterday's party or something. As for the vice-chancellor, there are even more reasons why he's not present on campus today. So you shouldn't think too much about it.”Gerald knew that Terry had a good point there. Still, he couldn't help but feel that something was amiss here. It was that same intuitive feeling, the one that he felt when that knife was flying close to his eyes within seconds, allowing him to successfully avoid the attack mere seconds before it struck his eye. Something isn't right. Gerald felt it in his guts. But h

To his surprise, his daughter Meghan came out of the jet, and she was not alone; she was with her husband Gavin. Although he was happy to see his daughter, he was ashamed to see Gavin, and he did not have the courage to look at him.When the two of them approached him, he embraced Meghan and asked how she was, then checked her roommate to ensure no one had touched her, but she assured him she was fine and doing well.Then he looked at Gavin and apologized for mistreating him all these years. In his defense, he stated that he was only concerned about his daughter's well-being and wanted his family's name to live on, so he asked for Gavin's forgiveness.Gavin accepted the apology and forgave him because he still loved Meghan and knew that a good relationship between him and her father would mean a lot to her.Mr Stallion invited them in, and Sophia was overjoyed to see Meghan because she and Har

They rode the merry-go-round, roller coasters, and bumper cars with Mel's daughter, and they looked like the perfect family.They enjoyed the meals after the rides and took a lot of pictures and made a lot of memories; it was as if the day should not have ended because they had so much fun that they all fell asleep on each other while riding home.Noah's personal assistant could not help but laugh at how silly his boss was, and he was relieved that he had finally found someone who could make him happy, but his joy was short-lived when his phone rang and it was Kelly calling.The ringing tone from Noah's phone as a call from Kelly woke them up, and Noah was irritated to see that she was the one who called him and disrupted their sleep, but it was still good because they had arrived at Mel's house and he needed to help her carry her daughter to her bed, so he silenced his phone and assisted Mel i

Chapter: Chapter 555 : The Big Story : Unveiling Deep SecretsGavin received a call on his way to the brunch venue and was hesitant to answer it, but he decided to do so because it could be an urgent call, so he picked up the phone and was surprised to hear a familiar voice, Thomas's."Hello Gavin," Thomas said over the phone to Gavin, pleased to hear his voice after so long."It is me, Thomas, it has been a while; how are you?" Gavin responded to Thomas, pleased to hear a familiar voice after being away from him for so long."I am great, how are you?" Thomas responded to Gavin because he felt better after speaking with him, and he was also relieved to be alive because he knew how dangerous the underground network could be."Great, but I know you did not just call me to exchange pleasantries; what is going on?" Gavin asked Thomas because he was confident that he would not just reach out to him and risk both of their safety unless it was urgent."You know me so well but I have been keeping a secret from you but your father is the reason I have be

Finally, killing Gavin's father would have been a waste.The next task was to obtain Gavin's fingerprint and eye scan without making him suspicious.
