Chapter 171
After running out of the lecture hall, Callum took a deep breath and answered the phone."Hi, Callum! It’s Ivory speaking." Ivory's euphonious voice sounded as soon as the call was through."Ivory? Why are you calling me? Is there anything I can help you with?" Callum asked nervously."Oh, must something be wrong for me to call you?" Ivory responded with a chuckle.Hearing Ivory's words, Callum was taken by surprise. If Ivory had seen those photos, she wouldn't have spoken to me in such a light tone, would she?“You certainly can. You’re welcome to call me at any time. I was simply shocked because you don't call me very often, do you?” Callum responded quickly."Well, have you forgotten that we're going to get our marriage certificate today? Where are you now? I'll come and pick you up," Ivory said in a hushed tone.Callum could not help but heave a long sigh of relief upon hearing this. Oh, thank God she hasn't seen those p

At the entrance of the Solbury College, Ivory bent down to pick up the naked photo of Callum and Carol. Once she realized what it was, her eyes popped out of her head, and she turned to look at Callum in a rage."Ivory... let me explain. These photos are all forgeries! All of them are forgeries!" Callum tried to explain himself. He had never thought that Ivory would come across the photo just when they were about to leave the college premises. It was such a bizarre coincidence.He cursed himself inwardly for being such a moron, wondering why he had asked Ivory to come and pick him up at college when these photos were being circulated all around campus. He did not realize how much trouble these photos would cause him."Callum, I never expected you to be such a scumbag! These photos have been spread all around your college, haven’t they? What else is there for you to explain?" Ivory yelled at him, her big eyes widening in rage.If truth be told, Ivory had gra

At the entrance of the Solbury College, Callum stopped in his tracks and turned to look at Amy once she said that she could help him find the person who had framed him. With an excited expression, he asked, "Really? Are you sure?""Yeah, of course." Amy gave a slight nod.Callum quickly ran toward Amy and asked in a low voice, "What do we have to do in order to find the person behind this?"Amy pondered for a moment and whispered, "I can tell you, but you’ve got to promise me one thing.""What's it? Come on, spill!" Callum shouted impatiently, his face flushing with anxiety."Just promise me that you'll be there for me whenever I need you. I ain’t helping you for free. Deal?" Amy said with a grin on her face."Sure, no problem. All right, now, cut the crap. Just tell me how I can find the person behind this!" Callum looked extremely anxious as if he had ants in his pants."Hey, you better watch that attitude of yours! Don't forget that

The surveillance footage gave Callum the shock of his life. He was at sixes and sevens, wondering why the person in the footage had done such a thing to humiliate him.Callum took a deep breath to calm himself down while staring at his phone screen, then proceeded to run out of his apartment with his phone in his hand.He had to figure things out as soon as possible. If Ivory continued misunderstanding him, he might lose his fiancée as well as his inheritance."Callum?" Just as Callum walked out of his apartment, Celia stepped out of the elevator with takeout boxes in her hand.Callum looked up at Celia and replied in a low voice, "Oh, Celia. What a coincidence! Did you just return?"Celia was all dolled up today. She wore a tight crop top and black denim shorts, revealing her slender waist and long fair legs. The pair of pink slippers she wore added on to her sexy and cute charm.In Callum's point of view, Celia often liked to wear either shorts

Callum freaked out as he was pinned to the ground by the overweight girl in the girls' dormitory. Being misunderstood by Ivory because of those explicit photos had already given him a terrible headache. It had never occurred to him that something like this would happen to him after finally discovering the true culprit behind this matter.It would be dreadfully embarrassing if these girls really sent him over to the dean's office.After all, this nude photo scandal had caused a storm in the school. If news spread saying that Callum had broken into the girls' dormitory, all the students in college would undoubtedly see him as nothing but a sick pervert.Once the plump girl saw that Callum had remained silent for quite some time, she hollered at the top of her voice, "Hey! Say something! What the hell are you doing in our dorm?"Callum looked at the girl with a wry smile on his face. After pondering for a moment, he responded in a hushed tone, "I'm here to look for

In the girl’s dormitory, Mable trembled as she gazed at Callum with a very nervous expression on her face. Although she had no idea how Callum found out that she was the culprit, she was aware that once he called the police, she would get taken into custody.Callum questioned her with a straight face, "Why? Why did you spread these photos of Carol and I around campus?""I…" Mabel opened her mouth and was about to speak.Nonetheless, afraid that Mabel would try to make up a story and fool him, Callum interrupted her and warned in a stern voice, "You better tell me the truth, otherwise, I’ll call the cops. Once they arrive, there’ll be no turning back even if you want to speak the truth."Mabel paused for a moment as she glanced at him and bit her lower lip. "Callum, I’m so sorry! I didn't mean it. Someone bribed me with money and made me do it! I know I was wrong. Please don't call the police! I beg you!""What? Someone bribed y

Callum gave Carol a call after stepping out of the girls' dormitory, but little did he expect her to be the one to yell at him first once the call was through even though she was in the wrong."Carol, I can't believe that you’re still keeping up that act of yours. You really are something!" Callum said in a soft voice as his eyes narrowed."What? An act?" Carol was taken by surprise once she heard what Callum had said. In a puzzled tone, she questioned, ''What do you mean by that? Why did you say I was acting?''"All right, stop putting on a show! Mabel has already made it clear to me that you’re the one who asked her to edit the photos and spread them around campus. Stop playing the victim! How dare you still pretend to be innocent? You shameless bitch! Why did you even have to go to such lengths just to frame me?" Callum snapped in a cold voice, his face flushing with anger.Carol was at a loss for words and said lightly after a brief pause, "Wow, C

Dozens of bills were thrown right into the air, raining down on the arrogant woman.The crowd could hardly believe their eyes. Everyone froze where they were with their mouths agape. No one had anticipated that Callum, a man who looked like a literal vagabond, would have so much money at hand. What surprised them the most was that he threw out dozens of hundred-dollar bills into the air just like that.As a matter of fact, Callum had just withdrawn the money from the bank earlier this morning before going for class in the case that he would need them later on. It had never occurred to him that it would come in handy now that he was having a quarrel with this woman at the restaurant."Damn it! You bastard! How dare you throw your money at me?" the woman yelled at Callum as her voice trembled with anger and her eyes widened."Don't you want the money? I've already compensated you for your stained dress. Please stop bothering me!" Callum responded in a calm voice.

Chapter 179
In the Michelin-starred restaurant, Callum let out a wry smirk as he gazed at the insane Carol who was sitting in front of him. Despite everything, they had been lovers in the past, so Callum did not intend to do anything to harm her. Carol, however, was far more bonkers than he had imagined."Carol, are you sure there’s nothing I can do about it?" Callum questioned with a poker face."Well, I know that you’re stinking rich now. Even Jim and Charles work for you. You’re no longer the old Callum I once knew," Carol responded in a bland voice. After a brief pause, she added, "Either way, so what? Do you really think you can kill me just because they’ve got your back?""Believe it or not, I have thousands of ways to make you disappear from my life," Callum was in a frenzy of rage and bellowed at her through gritted teeth."You…" Callum was rendered speechless and had no clue what to do.It had never occurred to him that Carol had
Chapter 180
Callum froze on the spot upon hearing Carol say the name "Ivory", and his eyes immediately popped out of his head.Very few people knew about his relationship with Ivory. None of the students at college were aware of the fact that Callum had a fiancée, and so, Callum had no idea how Carol had found out about it.On top of how Callum had previously presumed that Carol would not be smart enough to come up with such an elaborate plan on her own just to threaten him, the fact that Carol now knew about Ivory’s existence made Callum all the more certain that someone had given these suggestions to Carol. Not to mention that this person surely had to be a close friend of Ivory’s."How did you know that I have a fiancée?" Callum walked up to Carol and questioned her in a cold voice."I don't think there’s a need for me to go into the details. Anyhow, I know that Ivory is your fiancée and that if you don’t manage to marry her, y
