I gently patted the back of Grandma's trembling hand.

I didn't expect Cosmo and Ethan to be this malicious. Both of them were well aware that my family was struggling financially, yet they had teamed up to cheat me out of my scholarship. And now, they were spreading lies about me right in front of the college administrators.

I could not take it anymore, so I explained, "The money I used to buy the hearing aid was saved from years of scholarships and private tutoring."

Then, I shifted my ga

  • My Scholarship Became Their Graduation Meal Fund   Chapter 9

    The next morning, the official notice was swiftly circulated in all the class group chats and posted on the college bulletin board. Cosmo and Ethan were given major disciplinary punishment for forming cliques on campus, bullying fellow students, misappropriating class funds, and allegedly engaging in extortion. Their degrees were revoked, and they were ordered to return all illegally obtained money and class funds within three days. Mr. Spencer was removed from his position for serious dereliction of duty, favoritism, and shielding students who committed infractions. He was also stripped of all eligibility for awards and honors for the next three years and was publicly reprimanded by the college. That afternoon, a staff member from the college's finance office personally contacted me and returned every cent of the five grand I'd been cheated out of, along with the three-hundred-dollar "late fee" that had been forcibly charged to me at the entrance that day, directly into my bank

    The obsequious smile on Mr. Spencer's face stiffened. His lips parted slightly, but he couldn't make a sound.Cosmo and Ethan were rooted to the spot. The looks on their faces were no better.Their eyes darted back and forth between Mr. Bentinck and me, unable to process the fact that I was his son. After all, Mr. Bentinck was filthy rich. How could he possibly have a mother who collected recyclables for a living and a son who couldn't even bring himself to buy a meat dish? Mr. Lane and Mr. Bowes were petrified, as if they had been struck by lightning. Cold sweat instantly soaked through their backs. Mr. Bentinck whipped his head around. His sharp gaze swept over them before he asked, "Did you hear what I just said, Mr. Lane?"Mr. Lane shuddered and hurriedly pulled out his handkerchief to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead. "I-I did, Mr. Bentinck.""My son just said that his classmates set him up and cheated him out of five grand of his scholarship money. The receipt is rig

    Mr. Lane's expression immediately became solemn, and the dismissive, impatient look on his face was instantly replaced by a smile. He turned to Mr. Bowes and said, "Our sponsor's here. Let's head upstairs right away. We shouldn't keep him waiting."He then shot Mr. Spencer a stern look and ordered in a low voice, "Hurry up and wrap things up here, Mr. Spencer. Don't let this blow out of proportion and affect the college's reputation!"Mr. Spencer nodded frantically. "Rest assured, Mr. Lane. I'll take him back to campus and sort this out…" Mr. Lane and Mr. Bowes were about to turn and head upstairs when a middle-aged man slowly made his way down from the second floor. His gaze casually swept over the crowd in the lobby and suddenly stopped. His pupils contracted sharply. At that moment, I felt an intense gaze and instinctively looked up. The moment I saw his face, I went rigid. Memories came rushing back like a flood breaking through a breached dam. When I was 12, this was the m

And now, they were spreading lies about me right in front of the college administrators. I could not take it anymore, so I explained, "The money I used to buy the hearing aid was saved from years of scholarships and private tutoring." Then, I shifted my gaze to Cosmo. "Didn't you claim I have a sugar mommy? Show me some actual evidence. Once we've moved past this, we have a few other scores to settle." Right after saying that, I pulled the receipt that Cosmo had torn to pieces and thrown into the trash out of my pocket and showed it to the three teachers. I'd picked it back up afterward and taped the pieces back together. "The night before last, our class held a graduation dinner. Cosmo deliberately changed the time at the last minute without

    Anger surged through me at the baseless accusation, and I shot back, "Shut up, Cosmo!"Grandma had just put on her hearing aid, but she understood what Cosmo meant. "W-What nonsense are you on about, young man? My grandson's an honest man! He would never—"Before she could finish, Ethan took a step forward and cut her off sarcastically, "Ma'am, everyone in our class knows your grandson's financial situation. He wouldn't even splurge on decent meals at school, and now he magically drops thousands of dollars on a hearing aid? We're just looking out for him so he doesn't stray down the wrong path, okay?"I shot daggers at Ethan before grabbing Grandma's hand and leading her toward the door. "Ignore them, Grandma. Let's go somewhere else." We had only taken a step forward when Cosmo and his lackeys spread out and blocked our way. Just then, someone walked down from the second floor. Cosmo instantly wiped the mocking expression off his face. "Mr. Spencer, what brings you down here?

    Standing on the dorm balcony, I watched the students cheering on the sports field below and slammed my fist against the railing until my knuckles turned white. I was only five thousand dollars short of that hearing aid. Had I not been scammed at that dinner, I would've already saved enough money. Grandma's birthday was next week. I had promised her that I would give her the best gift. Her weathered face surfaced in my mind. She'd spent four years collecting recyclables in the countryside and scrimping and saving every penny to put me through school. She'd always tell me, "It's fine if I'm a little deaf, Kieran. I'll be happy as long as you make something of yourself." Left with no other choice, I ultimately dialed a number. "It's Kieran… I was wondering if I could borrow five grand. I'll pay you back soon after I graduate." Without a word, the person on the other end transferred the money over. I took a deep breath, pulled myself together, and went to the shop to settle the r
