Chapter 165
Richard spoke with a meaningful stare.“They're dealing with some things currently. I was able to pull some strings with one of the authorities in the campus clinic, and I secretly got you out with Mr. Terry. Then I brought you here.”Terry nodded his head to convey that he fully supported Richard's decision.“Buddy, Richard made the best decision. T.O.F. is far away from campus. I doubt those fucking assassins can get to you, considering that we were able to get off campus with stealth. Also, this is where you brought my mom to be treated, remember?”Gerald smiled slightly at this.“Oh, yeah! I almost forgot about that. How's your mom, by the way?”Terry nodded his head. Of course, he still had no idea that T.O.F Medical Tower was actually owned mainly by Gerald, who is the Heir Apparent of the Arnold family.“Mom still hasn't woken up, but the doctors have reassured me that she's completely out of the Red zone, and her chances of regaining consciousness are very high.”Gerald sighe

Gerald glanced around at the unfamiliar surroundings, but he quickly made sense of things and realized that he was in a hospital, lying in a hospital bed.“What the ….. how did I get here?”Gerald's voice felt incredibly croaky, bringing his dry throat to his attention. He was incredibly thirsty despite spitting on an IV tube that went into the back of his right palm.At that moment, he felt an intense headache strike him and his vision went blurry as noises filled his head briefly. Within this moment, the memories of what had happened at the chancellor’s office came flooding back into his mind.A lot had happened within the short time he was having the awkward conversation with Chancellor Vexley.The memories. Gerald began dissecting and digesting them. Something had caused him to start feeling that lengthy wave of unnatural fear coursing through his entire body while he was in that office, and it was hard to put it past the chancellor as the main culprit, considering that the older

Gerald shook his head as he felt his heart now starting to race, the fear coursing through his veins as he listened to the Chancellor's voice, which was starting to get agitating.“She was drunk and I helped her. That's it.”He definitely wasn't about to admit that he fucked Juliet in his penthouse right after they got to Lavish-Paradise Hotel. In fact, he felt like telling this old man that he had taken her straight to a high-end hotel would only cause more headaches.“Chancellor, what exactly do you want?”Gerald felt his heart racing intensely and he couldn't stop his hands from shaking at this point. Something was very wrong. That couldn't be any clearer. He had no idea why his body was reacting this way by itself, while he was exactly processing any fear-based thoughts to induce this kind of physical reaction in his own body.What was going on here? Meanwhile, Chancellor Vexley had a concealed look of satisfaction in his eyes as his face turned placid and he spoke with an autho
Chapter 162
Despite the Chancellor's words, Gerald remained seated with a straight back, outwardly showing that he had nothing to be scared of.“Young man, aren't you on the scholarship program? Behaving this way, without an ounce of respect, I could easily ruin your life you know?”The older man snapped his fingers to emphasize his own words.“Just like that. I can come up with the most absurd reason to have your name removed from the list, you know? You can easily end up walking out of this building as an expelled student of Westbridge University.”Gerald stared at the chancellor with a slight smile and a measuring gaze. He didn't bother updating the man that he was no longer on the scholarship beneficiary list and was now a fully paying student of WU. His focus was placed on a more important concern.Chancellor Vexley didn't even take long to let it be fully known that he did not like him. The reason though, was a mystery he was now interested in finding out.“Chancellor, what have I done to
Chapter 161
Abraham Vexley is a figurehead of Westbridge University who rarely shows himself in the public sphere of campus aside from the academic institution-related events that strictly demand his presence. Yet, his status is superior to that of Juliet's father, Julian Dalton, putting him at the top of the food chain.As mentioned earlier, Gerald didn't feel good about this sudden summons. It looked like the university Chancellor himself had wanted to chat with him, but didn't know any proper way to summon him, until he practically delivered himself to a lion's den he didn't know existed in the first place.He had come here, hoping to meet the Vice-Chancellor and ask about Juliet in person, yet, a detour was now what lay ahead of him.Gerald blinked at the woman who stood with a hand to her waist, glaring at him with what he could guess was impatience, understandably. He sighed as he gave in, and began moving to follow the secretary.Seeing this, Terry held his best friend's shoulder, whisper
Chapter 160
Arriving at the counter, Gerald received news that the Vice-Chancellor, Professor Julian Dalton, was not in his office at the moment. In fact, he had not come in at all. Plus, they had to wait in the lobby to receive this news.“That's weird. Both father and daughter were absent on campus today.”Terry raised an eyebrow at his best friend after hearing him mutter those words to himself.“What are you talking about? Juliet's absence might have to do with yesterday's party or something. As for the vice-chancellor, there are even more reasons why he's not present on campus today. So you shouldn't think too much about it.”Gerald knew that Terry had a good point there. Still, he couldn't help but feel that something was amiss here. It was that same intuitive feeling, the one that he felt when that knife was flying close to his eyes within seconds, allowing him to successfully avoid the attack mere seconds before it struck his eye. Something isn't right. Gerald felt it in his guts. But h
