Chapter 5

Author: Goodtale
The cabin door swung open, and Dad stepped out. His long black overcoat snapped violently in the powerful airflow kicked up by the rotors.

Harvey was the first to snap out of it. He straightened his collar and hurried forward to greet him. "You're looking for Sawyer, right, Mr. Lund? He's already gone abroad. I'm his roommate. If there's anything you need, you can just tell me."

He paused for a moment, then pointed at me. "You probably don't know this guy, Mr. Lund. He's Felix Lund, and just b

  • Everyone Thinks I'm My Brother's Lapdog   Chapter 7

    I'd stopped living on campus a while back, just to avoid Ruby and Harvey. Yet, one day after class, Harvey still managed to corner me outside the academic building. He was crouching at the bottom of the steps, curled up into himself.He shot to his feet the moment he caught sight of me coming out, his entire frame swaying unsteadily. His varsity jacket looked rumpled and worn, hanging loosely on him. He was clutching a folder in his hand, gripping it so tightly that his knuckles turned white."I'm begging you, Felix!" He dropped straight to his knees in front of me. "I'll even beg you on my knees! I can't get expelled from Javon University. My dad hasn't picked up my calls for three days now!"Tears streamed down his face as he kept going. "I know I messed up. I was just jealous of you. I couldn't stand the fact that you had it all. I worked myself half to death to get into Javon University, believing I'd finally move up in the world. But I was still poor in the end. "I just cou

    Three days later, I woke up to a financial news alert on my phone. "Lund Group Completes Full Acquisition of Sutton Technologies for Approximately 270 Million Dollars."Sutton Technologies belonged to Ruby's father.I stared at the news alert for a few seconds as I brushed my teeth, then tapped on it to look through the comments.It was already blowing up, with people pointing out that Sutton Technologies had already been facing a cash flow crisis, meaning Lund Group's acquisition amounted to kicking them while they were down. However, the execution was so clean and clinical that no one could fault it.In the end, it came down to one thing—Dad was displeased with Ruby.I got dressed and went downstairs to find Sawyer sitting at the dining table, drinking coffee and looking at his tablet. He noticed me coming downstairs and said without even looking up, "Ruby's father kicked her out of the house this morning."I pulled out a chair and sat. "How did you know?"Sawyer rolled his ey

He's Felix Lund, and just because his last name happens to be Lund, he's been running around campus running scams under the Lund family name. "He even stole Sawyer's Patek Philippe! I saw it myself. You absolutely have to look into him, Mr. Lund!"Ruby stepped up next, speaking with an air of righteous indignation. "I'm Ruby Sutton, Mr. Lund. Felix has an awful character. "He bullies other students and looks down on the poor while worshiping the rich. He was also just called in for a lecture by Ms. Jones. Felix stayi

    Ms. Jones slid the stack of papers toward me. It was a printout of the forum thread, with clusters of comments circled in highlighter. She furrowed his brow and tapped her finger against the pages. "The whole campus is talking about this, Felix. Your behavior of flaunting wealth and bullying poor classmates has created a terrible impression—to the point that the department is actually inquiring about the whole situation. You should just apologize to Harvey to put this matter to rest."I thought about it for a moment before asking, "You want me to apologize to him? He's the one who threw his underwear into my basin, spread rumors about me online, and turned the whole campus against me. You're telling me to apologize?"Ms. Jones' expression hardened slightly. "Is that your attitude? Are you trying to blow this whole thing up?"I stood up, the chair legs screeching sharply against the tile. "You don't need to concern yourself with this, Ms. Jones. Once my parents return to Javon, you

    I returned to the dorm, crouched down, and took out the laundry basin from under the bed. Sawyer was returning the day after tomorrow, so his bedsheets needed changing.I stripped the sheets off his bed and dunked them into the basin with some detergent. Squatting on the floor, I start to scrub. The cool foam washed over the backs of my hands.It was then that the door swung open. Harvey saw me squatting on the floor washing the sheets. He smirked faintly, walked over to me in a few strides, and dumped his pile of dirty laundry straight into my basin. Foam splashed up into my face. I glared at him. "What the hell are you doing?"Harvey stood over me with his arms crossed, his chin raised ever so slightly. His eyes were colder than I'd ever seen them as he looked at me through the crack in his glasses. "What's the difference between washing bedsheets and underwear? You're already doing the laundry, so you might as well do mine while you're at it. You're always so eager to wash ot

    Those words seemed to strike a nerve with Harvey. His head snapped up from Ruby's shoulder, his voice rising sharply. "What makes you think you can speak to me like that, Felix?"He stubbornly lifted his chin, still wearing that pitiful expression, yet his gaze had transformed. The previous helplessness was gone, replaced by a cold, biting sharpness."I'm poor, my family circumstances are bad, and I've never even touched a Patek Philippe in my life. But no matter how poor I am, I won't grovel for scraps the way you do.""What else can you do besides sucking up to rich people, Felix? You failed three classes last semester and got a 43 in calculus. Do you even deserve to be called a real man? Do you know what I got in calculus? A 98—the highest in the whole department."There was an unmistakable note of triumph in his voice, as if he had finally dropped the poor, helpless victim act and revealed his true, sharp-edged nature.The surrounding students' glares shot toward me in unison.
