"Abby, just tell me. Did he bully you?" David looked almost excited.After a moment of hesitation, the girl shook her head slightly.Abby was very upset. However, if word got out that Callum made a move on her, she would be a laughing stock. Even if he knelt down to apologize, it would not solve anything. Therefore, Abby decided not to tell the truth.David was shocked and asked with a puzzled expression, "Really?""Let's just go!" She looked at Callum with disgust, then turned and walked away."You bastard, just you wait! I’ll see you again when I’m free." David followed after her.Callum wanted to call Jim and ask him to teach David a lesson. After thinking about it, Callum did not make the call. It was a waste of time.Callum returned to the lecture hall. Students were enjoying their break between classes, chatting and laughing in groups. Ethan and Carol did not come to class. No one knew where they went. Meanwhile, Eva and Mabel were sitting at their seats. When they saw Callum, t

When Callum got home, he watched Celia's livestream in bed after washing his face and brushing his teeth. As soon as Into The Wind joined the livestream, Celia's fans instantly became excited and welcomed him.Callum ignored them and quietly watched Celia's performance. Celia was very beautiful and good at singing.Her flowing, black hair was shoulder-length. She had bright, sparkling eyes, luscious lips, and fair skin. Her white shirt emphasized her breasts, making them alluring. She wore a short skirt, revealing her long and slender legs. The black stockings made her sexier and more charming.However, Callum felt Celia was more beautiful in person.Richie commented.Celia frowned, but she ignored Richie and continued singing. Her fans began to scold Richie. However, Richie logged off without acknowledging them. After watching Celia's livestream for a while, Callum sent some gifts and then turned off his phone, ready to go to bed.Before Callum fell asleep, there was a knock at the d

"Sleep together?" Celia frowned. She said with an embarrassed face, "Callum, I happen to have a spare room in my apartment you could use.""Oh, I see.” He was a little disappointed."I’m busy livestreaming every day, and after work, I go to sleep. I don't have time to clean. If you move in, you can help tidy up my apartment as rent. What do you think?" In reality, Celia could care less if Callum was unable to do that. She was worried he would be too embarrassed to move into her apartment.Callum was very touched, but he had a fiancée now. It was inappropriate for him to live with another girl. Moreover, Callum did not want anyone to know he was the heir of the richest man. If he lived with Celia, she might learn of his secret."Thank you, but I am a man. You are a woman. It seems a little inappropriate for us to live together," Callum said after a moment of hesitation."Are you afraid I’ll make a move on you? Come on! I have no interest in doing such a shameless thing," Celia said."D

10:30 A.M.Callum arrived at Jacques Restaurant by taxi. Although it was not lunchtime, many luxury cars were parked near the restaurant, and some young people in fashionable outfits were coming in and out. Although Callum wore his best clothes today, he sticked out like a sore thumb.After paying the parking fee, Callum walked into Jacques Restaurant. The security guard at the door stopped him. "Wait! Young man, are you here to apply for the job? Go through the back door instead.""I'm having lunch here," Callum replied."Seriously?" A flicker of doubt appeared in the security guard's eyes, but he let Callum enter. Although the people eating at Jacques Restaurant were rich, some ordinary people showed up to get a free meal. The security guard did not think too much about it.The moment Callum entered Jacques Restaurant, he was stunned. Although it was not big, its decorations were very elegant. Callum felt he had traveled to Europe during the Renaissance. The paintings and antiques m

Abby heard about Callum from David before. She knew he was just a poor man who could not even afford to eat at the college’s dining hall. She was unaware Callum had a reservation at Jacques Restaurant. She thought he was here for a part-time job.Thus, Abby threatened him and wanted him to kneel. She vented her anger on him."You better kneel and apologize to me now. If you do that, maybe I’ll let it go," said Abby arrogantly, her arms crossed."I'm not an employee here. If you want the manager to fire me, go ahead," Callum replied."Hah!" Abby sneered and then continued, "Hmph, then are you a customer? You’re so funny. David told me all about you. Can you even afford a meal here?"Callum was not in the mood for this, so he turned around to leave."Wait! Did I say you could go?" Abby grabbed his arm. "Callum, it's not easy to get a part-time job here, is it? Are you sure you wanna give up this opportunity?""Please let go of me! I'm not an employee of this restaurant. I'm here for lun

While Callum gawked at the elegant woman, he was excited. With light makeup on her stunning face, she wore a long dress and high heels. Those curves, that charisma. Callum was amazed.It seemed so surreal. Such a person should only exist in TV dramas. Callum could not believe there was such a stunning girl in the real world.Ivory was here because she was worried about Abby. After all, Abby was gone for more than ten minutes. As soon as Ivory walked out of the private room, she saw Abby arguing with Callum."Abby, what's going on?" asked Ivory. She scrutinized Callum."Ivory, this bastard bullied me." With puppy dog eyes, Abby ran to her.Ivory was taken aback. "Oh? How did he bully you?""He threw water at my face!”Ivory could not help but turn to look at Callum again. Then she whispered, "Abby, I don't think he meant it. Just forget it, all right?"When Callum heard what Ivory said, he was touched. She was nicer than that arrogant girl."Ivory, he did it on purpose," Abby said."Oh
Chapter 27
Actually, Ethan and Carol did not meet the requirements to eat at Jacques Restaurant. Ethan's friend invited them here to celebrate his birthday. Ethan was only curious about what was happening. It never occurred to him that the one who got into trouble was Callum. He embarrassed Ethan at Sierra Hotel recently. Hence, Ethan wanted to get back at Callum. This was his chance.Ethan could not even afford the expensive food at Jacques Restaurant. He thought Callum spent all his money on the dinner at Sierra Hotel last time, and he was too poor to pay for the food here."Mr. Geller, if you don't believe me, you can ask my girlfriend. As Callum's ex-girlfriend, she can confirm what I said is true," Ethan said as the manager of Jacques Restaurant remained silent for a long time."Yes, I am his ex-girlfriend." Carol walked up to Ethan, and he put an arm around her waist.The crowd felt uncomfortable and stared at Carol in confusion. It was unbelievable that even Callum's ex-girlfriend kicked

Several security guards rushed toward Callum. Abby, Carol, and Ethan smirked while Ivory frowned. Ivory wanted to speak up for him, but she remained silent after hesitating for a bit. She knew if Abby could not get back at Callum, she would never let him go.Ivory decided to talk to Dean after the security guards took Callum away. She did not want them to make things difficult for him. Ivory was kind-hearted. Besides, she knew Callum did not steal anything. All of this was just part of Abby's revenge.Suddenly, someone's phone rang. It was Callum's."Hello?" Callum said.The crowd was speechless. Isn’t he worried about himself? Shouldn't he quickly explain himself to Mr. Geller? Is this the right time to have a phone call? No one could figure out what was on Callum's mind."Mr. Bowman, have you arrived at Jacques Restaurant?" Salem asked in a cheerful voice."Yes, I'm here, but the manager wants to kick me out. He doesn't want to listen to me," Callum said helplessly."Mr. Bowman, I'm

Abby stared at Ivory in disbelief.Just now, Ivory said the person who reserved the private room was not her but the fiancé she never met. The manager of the restaurant also said it was Callum who reserved the private room."Is Callum your fiancé?" Abby covered her mouth."Oh my..." Ivory was upset.The Holland family was influential in Solbury, and Ivory was their only daughter. She could not understand why her parents agreed to marry her to an ordinary person like Callum. Even if her parents wanted to arrange her marriage, they should at least marry Ivory to a son of a rich family in Solbury, right?"Let's go and see what's going on." After hesitating for a while, Abby took Ivory's hand and walked to the private room.When Ethan, Carol, and the others saw the two beautiful girls leave, they were even more confused. They did not know what was going on at all. How could a poor man like Callum suddenly become a VIP of Jacques Restaurant?"Mr. Geller..." Ethan stepped forward.However,

Ivory stared at him in disbelief. She never expected her fiancé to be someone like Callum.Abby was too shocked to say anything.After Ivory found out she had a fiancé, she could not accept it for a long time. She did not want to marry a man whom she never met. All women in the world wanted to marry the man they loved. Besides, they were in a modern society now. An arranged marriage? How ridiculous!After Ivory learned of this engagement, she did not hesitate to argue with her parents. She refused to see her so-called fiancé. But Ivory's father, William Holland, told her the truth. There was a problem with the Holland family's companies. They needed a lot of money to fix it.Over the past few days, William talked with all the banks, family relatives, and friends, but he still lacked money. If it went on like this, all the companies of the Holland family would go bankrupt, and William might go to jail. Just when William was in despair, a foreign company suddenly found him and agreed to
