"Alright, I agree." Brian suddenly agreed to Evelyn's request.The latter froze.Brian continued, "I won't force you to drop out. You can stay and finish your exams. However, Julia can no longer stay at the school. And you will have no opportunity to study abroad in the future. You can stay in Gleaston if you don't regret it. I won't interfere with your life anymore.""Brian…" Evelyn murmured.Brian had never looked at her this way. For a moment, Evelyn realized she was drifting further away from him."Emily, lead Ms. Granger out," Brian called Evelyn by her last name, which showed how distant they had grown."Yes, Mr. Lodge." Emily stepped forward and took the knife from Evelyn's hand.Evelyn never intended to end her life and was merely using the same old trick of feigning suicide to make Brian yield to her every whim."This way please, Ms. Granger," Emily said coldly.Men despised manipulative tactics because they brought them unnecessary trouble and were a waste of time.

Brian's face fell.Emily stepped forward and hesitantly asked, "Mr. Lodge… Ms. Torrey… left.""I'm not blind. I can see." Brian found the warning tape in front of him annoying at that moment. His tone sharpened. "Take all of this down. It's an eyesore."Emily pouted to herself. Didn't Brian order them to put these up? Why was he now acting like it irritated him?"Oh, right. Have you investigated where Ariana has been staying recently?" Brian asked."Mr. Lodge, didn't you say you wouldn't concern yourself with anything related to Ms. Torrey? So, I…" Emily trailed off. Brian glared at her. "Just because I didn't ask doesn't mean you don't need to know. No matter what, Ariana was once my fiancée, and her matters are tied to Lodge Co.'s reputation! From now on, you should report everything about her to me!""…Yes, Mr. Lodge." Emily had no choice but to comply.With final exams approaching, Julia was quickly expelled from the university and wasn't allowed to take her graduation exa

"What? This..." The principal looked troubled. This had never happened before!Brian's voice dropped. "Is there a problem?""No… Of course not." How could the principal dare to say otherwise? He wouldn't risk offending the college's financial backer.Since Brian had spoken, the principal had no choice but to quietly instruct the invigilator to escort Ariana to a separate exam room.Ariana frowned. What nonsense was this?When they reached the adjacent exam room, the invigilator gestured for Ariana to sit.Standing outside the classroom window was none other than Brian."Ariana, read the questions and tell me the answers. I'll write them down for you." The invigilator was unexpectedly kind, probably because she had never seen a student receive such special treatment and get an entire exam room just for her."Miss, I can take the exam in the original classroom," Ariana replied."This is the principal's decision. Your hand is injured and it would affect your ability to graduate,"

Evelyn froze when she saw the cheat sheet on the ground.She had thought it was lost, but who would have expected it to end up in Brian's hands?"The principal told me that your grades have dropped, so I checked your test paper. The invigilator found this note on the ground nearby. This is your handwriting. Are you still going to deny it?" Brian placed the evidence right in front of her."Brian… Let me explain…" Evelyn forced herself to stay calm. But Brian had already heard enough of her explanations. "I don't think there's anything left for us to talk about."He returned the cheat sheet to Evelyn, then turned around and signaled for Emily to open the car door."Brian!" No matter how desperately Evelyn called after him, Brian had no intention of getting out of the car."Mr. Lodge, isn't this too harsh on Ms. Granger?" Emily asked."Haven't I tolerated her enough? Look at what she's done. How do you expect me to cover for her?" The Evelyn he used to know would never stoop to c

"What feast?" Simon was baffled.Victor and Hunter were so petty with their food. How could there be a feast with them around?He had been staying at the Smith residence for days and hadn't had a decent meal since!His thought almost slipped out of his mouth. But instead, he asked Hunter, "What feast? Who's cooking?""Ms. Torrey said she's cooking a feast to thank you," Hunter replied."Thank me? For what?" Simon was even more confused."For the ointment." Hunter shrugged.Simon's confusion grew at Hunter's answer. "Shouldn't she be thanking Victor instead? Why me? He's the one who paid for it."The development of that ointment had cost a hefty fee, and Victor was the one who footed the bill.Despite being notoriously stingy, and known for cutting corners on food, clothes, and everyday expenses, Victor had no problem splurging on other things.He invested a million dollars at the research lab when he commissioned a special ointment for Ariana. The researchers were over the mo
