Steven's throat tightened so badly that even the saliva he desperately tried to swallow seemed to refuse to go down. It remained lodged in his throat, making it difficult for him to breathe normally.Cold sweat began forming across his forehead. His heart pounded violently against his chest.He had thought that after claiming the terminal was faulty, the shopping competition would be forced to end or maybe postponed. But he had never imagined that the boutique possess another payment terminal.What excuse was he supposed to come up with now?His mind raced frantically, but every explanation he thought of collapsed before it could even form properly. For the first time in a very long while, Steven truly felt cornered.Just then, a male student's voice suddenly echoed across the showroom."I think I know why the first machine stopped working."Immediately, everyone's attention shifted toward the young man. Dozens of curious eyes settled on him."What do you mean?" someone asked.The st

Steven's hands began trembling so violently that he could no longer hide it.Taking a deep breath, he slowly reached into his pocket and pulled out his phone. His fingers shook uncontrollably as he tried to unlock it.But he was shaking too much the phone slipped from his trembling hand. It hit the polished marble floor and slid several feet away.Everyone looked at him puzzled. Why was Steven Ward so tensed?One of the nearby students bent down, picked up the phone, and handed it back to him."Here," the student said.Steven accepted it with a weak smile. "...Thanks." His hand was still shaking badly.Daniel watched the entire scene with a dark grin spreading across his face. He slowly folded his arms."Steven," he called out mockingly, "why are your hands shaking so much?"Steven did not even have the energy to respond to the question.Daniel tilted his head as he went on, "Are you having a fever?" He pointed toward Steven's phone. "If not, then go ahead and make the transfer. We'r

Justin quietly observed the group of girls for several seconds. A faint smile appeared on his face as he slowly shook his head.The situation before him was almost laughable.These girls had taken his personality as the mysterious Campus King and gave it to Drew. Then, looked down on him as though he was beneath them.Justin let out a quiet sigh. Sometimes people truly only believed what they wanted to believe.Finally, he spoke. "What makes all of you so sure that Drew is the Campus King?"The laughter around the group immediately disappeared.Juliet's smile slowly faded.Since accepting Drew's confession the previous night, she already considered herself his girlfriend.Hearing someone question him immediately irritated her. She folded her arms and stared directly at Justin."What exactly are you trying to say?"Justin remained calm."I'm only asking a simple question."Juliet took a step forward."So what?"She narrowed her eyes. "Are you trying to suggest that Drew isn't the Campu

Juliet's words left Drew completely trapped.He slowly looked around the classroom. Every student's eyes were fixed on him. Some stared at him with admiration, others with hope. Even Professor Frank was waiting patiently for his response.Drew swallowed hard. Deep inside, he wanted nothing more than to deny everything.Unfortunately, that was impossible now.He had spent the entire previous day enjoying the attention that came with everyone mistaking him for the actual Campus King. If he suddenly refused to donate twenty-two thousand dollars, everything would immediately fall apart.Taking a deep breath, Drew forced a relaxed smile onto his face before turning toward Juliet."Of course."He chuckled lightly as though the amount being discussed was insignificant."I'll pay. Twenty-two thousand dollars is nothing to me. It's basically pocket change."The classroom immediately became excited. Several students gasped in admiration."As expected.""I knew he would help.""He really is dif

The moment the speeding sedan raced toward the helpless woman, dozens of people nearby gasped in horror.Some covered their mouths. Others shut their eyes.A few even turned away because they could not bear to watch what was about to happen.Everything seemed destined to end in tragedy.However... One person remained calm.Justin.Unlike everyone else who had frozen in shock, Justin reacted immediately. The moment he saw the danger, his body shot forward like an arrow leaving a bow."Watch out!"Someone shouted.But Justin was already moving.The woman had completely frozen in place. Fear had robbed her body of the ability to react.The car was only a few feet away now.Justin reached her just in time.Without hesitation, he grabbed her shoulder and pushed her away with all his strength."Move!"The woman stumbled sideways.Justin rolled in the opposite direction.A split second later—CRASH!The speeding sedan tore through the spot where the woman had been standing.Fortunately, the
