Inside the car, Nicolas let out a deep sigh and turned to his wife, who was already glaring at him.She looked like someone who was ready for a fight. However, Nicolas didn't want that. He wanted a peaceful conversation and spoke in a very calm voice. “Why did you have to offer compensation to him just to get him out of the way? He's my son, and you must not do that again.”“Even if you're not ready to accept him as part of the family. Don't try to pay him off just to stay away. Please, I don't want to hear such a thing about you again.” Ursula stayed silent while being scolded by her husband. She had a smug smile on her face as she pondered Nicolas's words. She didn't want to flare up since they were not yet in a private space. They were there in the car, and the driver could hear their conversation. Ursula let out a dry chuckle and turned her gaze to Nicolas, forcing a smile as she spoke to him.“You see, honey. I'm doing this for you, and you should be thanking me for it. Some

Richmond pulled the door open and shoved Svetlana to the ground outside before barking at her. “Don't you ever come back here. I'm done with you.”He took the luggage from Hope and threw it outside as well. “Leave me alone, Svetlana. I'm no longer interested in you. You can go with all I have spent on you, including all the clothes in these bags.”Hope stood behind, her hands curled around Richmond's waist possessiveness like he was going to run away with Svetlana. The next minute, Richmond closed the door before Svetlana's face, leaving her embarrassed outside. Some neighbors were distracted by the noise, and they went to find out what was going on there.At that building, everyone minded their businesses, so no one actually knew what transpired. They didn't know Svetlana's relationship with Richmond and why she was disgracefully thrown out in that manner. She sat there on the ground, gathering her clothes, which were scattered all over the place. Richmond had forcefully thrown

Adolphus and his friends were on their way back from having lunch and hanging out together when they saw Svetlana dragging her two bags.She was coming out from the direction of the female hostel, heading to the school gate. When her eyes met Adolphus's, she froze and turned pale for a moment. “You're free to gloat.” She yelled after a while in a loud voice and with so much frustration.Adolphus only exchanged looks with his friends, and they fell in a round of laughter. “Come on, guys. Don't pay attention to her. She's just looking for someone to vent her frustration on.” Adolphus muttered to Donald and Glover, and they shot Svetlana one look and began to walk away. Without being told, Adolphus knew what had transpired. Her precious relationship with Richmond was over, just like he knew it would be one day. Unfortunately for Svetlana, the day came faster than she imagined. Adolphus and his friends were still walking to the hostel when someone suddenly blocked their way.Svetlana

There was silence at the other end of the line.For a moment, it looked like the man was thinking about the offer, wondering if to consider it or not.Svetlana was inviting him for dinner. She knew that the man would surely buy her dinner when they met.Svetlana needs that food more than whatever conversation they would be having afterward. She's not had any food since morning because she used the last money on her to buy snacks the previous night. Now, there was nothing left to eat. After a long pause, Svetlana heard the man's deep voice again. “Svetlana, does this have anything to do with the rumors going around campus that you and your rich boyfriend are no longer together?” The man could be a professor, but he knows all that was going on in school, especially between the students. In fact, most of the professors were all aware of the trending news in the school. When Svetlana broke up with Adolphus, he knew about it.In fact, while Svetlana was still with Adolphus, Mr. Hank

Doris hurried back to the restaurant hall, her face lit up with smiles like nothing had just happened. She was indeed a strong woman, and those years of toiling hard and raising Adolphus on her own have made her really strong. She's tolerated a lot from wealthy people who treated her like trash. Now was her time so she wouldn't let anyone trample on her feet, not even Ursula McAllen. Doris has faced worse problems, and Ursula McAllen was the least of them. Ursula was someone she could easily handle unless she had her bodyguards with her.At the restaurant hall, Adolphus and his friends have just walked in and went to greet Doris.Adolphus was still speaking to his mother when his gaze fell on Ursula McAllen coming from the direction of the restroom.At that moment, Adolphus's face fell as he saw the woman approaching them.Donald and Glover excused them and found themselves at a table from where they watched. They had seen Ursula McAllen and knew what her presence at that place m
