Chapter 4

Author: Evil SIL
The woman had a cruel and proud look about her. She took Ophelia into her arms and began examining her, as if making sure Ophelia hadn't been injured.

"Ophelia, sweetheart! Who bullied you?" The woman asked worriedly.

Now that Ophelia's backup was here, she immediately gestured at Aubrey and me and complained, "Those two, Mom! This girl, Aubrey Keller, tried to steal my spot in the student exchange program, and she even has her sister backing her up! Her sister even said we weren't following the university's rules!"

The woman immediately grew angry. "How dare they? Who dares accuse us Keatons of disobeying the rules here in Centuria?"

She eyed me with disdain and continued, "You should feel blessed that my daughter Ophelia wants to join the student exchange program!

"Who are you two girls compared to the mighty Keaton family? What right do you have to fight with us over this?"

The woman then paused before saying proudly, "Do you know who I am? I'm Anastasia White, wife of Centuria's wealthiest man and chairman of Ad Astra Inc.—Tristan Keaton!

"Ophelia is the Keaton family's sole heiress! Anyone who dares go against Ophelia is making an enemy of the entirety of Ad Astra Inc.! Do you really have what it takes to go against us?"

"Wife of Centuria's wealthiest man?" Suspicion grew in my heart as I continued gazing at this stranger. I did not know Anastasia at all.

My mother, Christine, was a classy and elegant woman born into a noble family. She never dressed up so extravagantly nor used such a foul tone to speak to others. Did Tristan really get himself a mistress?

The thought sent chills up my spine.

Anastasia then pointed at Aubrey and spat venomously at Samuel, "I hereby declare that this student exchange program spot belongs to Ophelia!

"Anyone who dares question it is declaring war against the Keaton family! I demand the two of you apologize to Ophelia right now!"

Ophelia clung onto Anastasia's arm and said gleefully, "Mom, an apology isn't enough at all. We have to make them kneel!"

Anastasia caressed Ophelia's hair, nodding. "Ophelia is right. The two of you must kneel and apologize, or else I won't let the matter go!"

"In your dreams!" Aubrey cried, trembling from anger. Though she was introverted, she was also very defiant and strong.

"Still acting tough, are we?" Ophelia took out her phone again and made another call. She really was pissed off now. "Dad, you need to come to my uni right now!

"Mom and I are being pushed over like nobody's business! We're going to be eating dust if you don't come to our aid!"

Ophelia then grinned happily, hanging up the call.

Ten minutes later, someone barged into the teachers' office. Aubrey and I froze to the spot the moment we saw who it was.

    "No! No!" Ophelia screamed. She ran up to Tristan and pleaded tearfully, "Tell them, Dad! Didn't you fund an entire building for the university? They can't expel me?"Tristan couldn't even save his ass right now, much less Ophelia's.Isaiah grew angrier when he heard the phrase 'fund an entire building.' He pointed at Tristan and explained to Christine, saying, "Please let me explain, Ms. Keller. This funding was made by Mr. Keaton on behalf of Ad Astra Inc. "We thought you were the one who intended it… We didn't expect this sort of thing to happen!""Now, I know." Christine's calmness never wavered. She looked at Tristan, all warmth gone from her eyes. "Tristan Keaton, from this day onward, you're no longer a member of Ad Astra Inc. "I'll be revoking everything you've received from the Keller family. I'll see you in front of the family court at 9:30 am tomorrow. Be punctual."Christine then turned away from him and came over to us, gently saying, "Aubrey, Aster, let's go hom

    But Christine wasted no time with them. She turned to Samuel and asked calmly, "You're a teacher here?""Y-yes, Ms. Keller," Samuel stammered."Were you the one who removed my daughter's student exchange program application?""N-no! It wasn't me, it was Mr. Keaton…" Samuel swiftly threw Tristan under the bus."Alright." Christine nodded and took out her phone, ignoring Samuel.She then made a call. "Hi, is this Headmaster Isaiah Lincoln? I'm Christine Keller."The man on the phone immediately said respectfully, "Oh, Ms. Keller? What did I do to receive the honor of your phone call? If you needed anything done, you could've just sent me a text!""It's nothing important," Christine said lightly. "It's just that my daughter, Aubrey, was bullied by a teacher from your school by the name of Samuel Young, as well as a student named Ophelia Keaton. "They stole Aubrey's student exchange program spot, tore her application papers up, and even instructed the guards to drag them off campu

    Samuel's knees grew weak the moment Christine introduced herself. He nearly fell on the floor and had to grip onto his desk to steady himself. An awfully terrified expression appeared on his face. "M-Ms. Keller… What a-are you doing here?"Everyone knew that the university's largest funder was a trust foundation called Keller Trust Foundation. Its founder's identity had always been shrouded in mystery.Samuel never expected such a powerful individual to turn up in his office in this situation. What was even more terrifying was that he'd just helped two liars bully Christine's own daughter!Christine ignored Samuel and went up to Tristan, his face still bone-white."I need you to explain yourself, Tristan," Christine said.Tristan opened his mouth to speak, but no words left him. Cold sweat drenched his expensive suit collar. He trembled before collapsing to his knees. "Christie… I've made a grave mistake, Christie… I'm sorry…" Tears and snot drenched his face as he tried to hu

    Silence filled the office after I hung up the call.The security guards looked at one another, none of them daring to take a step further. They weren't stupid. They'd already sensed that something was wrong the moment they saw Tristan grow pale white in the face after hearing my phone conversation.Fear filled Tristan's expression. He stared fixedly at me, trying his best to be calm.The reason he'd behave so boldly today was that Christine was overseas. He'd thought she'd never be able to make it back in time. Who knew Christine had returned early?Anastasia and Ophelia looked confused for a moment before they burst into laughter."Mom? What, is your mother some kind of royalty? So what if she comes?" Anastasia wrapped her arms around her chest, sneering. Ophelia covered her mouth as she giggled. "She didn't call some officious woman to try and talk sense into us, did she?"Samuel thought I was just putting up a front, too. He snapped, "Absolutely outrageous behavior! Who els

    "I've seen countless folks like you who try to get into powerful families through false relations. It's absolutely despicable!" Tristan said.He cocked an eyebrow. "You're still quite young. You must be working now, right? "This pushiness of yours isn't going to do any favors for your career. I still have some influence in Centuria's business world. If you upset me, I'll make sure you never find employment here in Centuria!"Was Tristan trying to threaten me with his company's influence? How pathetic. His so-called influence was nothing more than an illusion that Christine had given him in the past.Ophelia and Anastasia were delighted."Do you hear that?" Ophelia giggled shrilly, pointing right at me. "Dad says he has no idea who the two of you are at all! You two are liars! How despicable of you to pretend to be from my family!"Anastasia straightened up. "What are you still doing standing there, Mr. Young? Didn't you hear what my husband said? "Call the security and drag th

    It was my father, Tristan. Our gazes met the moment he walked in. Panic and shock flared in his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by calmness.Tristan walked right over to Ophelia and Anastasia, as if Aubrey and I were strangers. He asked worriedly, "Anastasia, Ophelia, are you two alright?"Anastasia immediately went into his arms and cried, "You're finally here, dear! These two girls were the ones who said we were lying. They even tried to beat us up!"Ophelia pointed at us and exclaimed, "They were so mean to us, Dad! They even complained to the headmaster, trying to take my spot away!"Tristan gently consoled Anastasia before turning to Aubrey and me."So, you two are the ones who bullied my wife and child?" Tristan asked. The familiar warmth and kindness in his face had been replaced with hatred.Sadness overwhelmed me."Tristan Keaton," I gritted out. "Tell me again—who exactly is your daughter?"Tristan's cheek twitched as fear lanced through his eyes. He didn't answer m
