Donald and Glover exchanged confused glances and quickly pulled back their friend. “Adol, what are you saying? Since when did you become Mr. Anonymous?” Donald inquired, looking very serious like he didn't know the truth.They knew that Adolphus was just joking around, and no one would believe him until they saw the proof.And just like they thought, Richmond fell in a round of laughter while Svetlana glared at Adolphus with so much disbelief. In fact, no student believed him. They thought he was just joking around, especially because no one knew the identity of Mr. Anonymous. They thought that Adolphus just wanted to take the glory that didn't belong to him. When Richmond was done laughing, he pointed at Adolphus while shaking his head a few times. “Did a human being just say something?”“Adolphus, someone like you must always remain silent when people like me are speaking. You're totally worthless, and your stupid opinion is not needed, so get lost.”“And coming here to claim a

“Forgive me, Adolphus. I promise that I've learned my lesson.” Joel pleaded, which left Adolphus gaping at him, surprised.Joel was actually apologizing to him. How interesting. Indeed, life and hardship have taught him a lesson. Adolphus stared at him for a while with his mouth open, unsure of what to do next. He didn't know if he should start laughing at that moment.After a long pause, he kept a serious expression and replied to Joel. “I'll be the one to decide if you've learned your lessons or not. For now, pay for what you brought upon yourself. And don't forget that I'm watching you and your parents closely. If they try anything funny, I'll run down your family business, and believe me, it wouldn't be funny for you guys.” Adolphus took a few steps closer to him. When he stood face to face with Joel, he glared at him one last time before commenting. “I'm sure there's still a lot you have to learn about life, so continue doing it.”“I want other people to give you a full dose

“Richmond has been dethroned.” Another student commented cheerfully, and it sounded like the person did not like him.Everyone began to laugh mockingly at Richmond. As usual, Abigail stood aside, watching the drama.Svetlana was somewhere around the corner, laughing mockingly at his ex-boyfriend. She felt really great at that moment because Richmond had been humbled. “The King has been dethroned.” Svetlana muttered to herself. “Let's see how much pride you still have left in you.”Mr. Lesley soon got to Adolphus's side and muttered to him. “We need to talk right now.”“What do you want us to talk about?” Adolphus replied without looking at the man. He knew what the man was thinking and didn't want to talk about it.Donald and Glover looked at themselves but said nothing. Mr. Lesley already knew what was going on.“Let's talk for a few minutes, and I won't bother you again.” The man muttered, and Adolphus finally agreed. While the other students were talking about Richmond and waiti

The friends turned to the direction of the voice and saw Abigail giving them a very serious look. Her eyes darted from one friend to the other while they completely stayed still.After a moment of silence, Abigail repeated herself with that authoritative voice. This time, she was directing her questions to Donald, whom she heard the words from.“I asked a question, and I believe that I didn't stutter. My words were clear enough, so answer the damn question.”“Do you know who he is?” She added and turned to glance at Adolphus and Glover. “Tell me.”Donald suddenly started laughing and waved his hand at her before replying. “Everyone here is asking the same question, including us, so what are you talking about?”“But I overheard your conversation just now, and you were saying something about…”“You heard wrong, Abigail.” Donald cut into her words, stopping her from finishing her statement. “We were talking about Mr. Anonymous, but never mentioned knowing him personally. So whatever yo

“We both know how unserious he is.” Adolphus continued. “He'll surely want to buy some marks with his money. Make sure no one takes money from him in exchange for marks.”“Let's see how far he'll get without assistance.”Adolphus was very certain that Richmond wouldn't be able to pass if he didn't get assistance. That has always been his way. He'd pay the professors to give him marks.Svetlana also started a relationship with him because she wanted the same thing for herself. Those two didn't want to work but wanted to pass exams and graduate. They wanted everything made easy for them. Adolphus also wondered what would become of Svetlana since she was no longer with Richmond. How would she pass her exams, especially as a very unserious student? “Alright, I'll do that. Any staff who takes money from him in exchange for marks would be penalized.” Mr. Lesley replied. “And don't worry, Adolphus. I'll make sure he gets what he deserves.”The call ended afterward. ***Somewhere in a h
