All Chapters of Goodbye, Saintess.: Chapter 461 - Chapter 470

"Can't be helped that Professor Astrid's so bashful. She's still a young woman. So what if we just ask for a little dance on the table? She's got the body, the looks, and the youth. I bet she's a natural dancer!" Gordon said.The men burst into loud applause.Astrid's blood boiled."Enough! How low can you people go?!" she shouted. "Do you perverts think I don't know what you're really planning to do? I could easily quit my job right now!"She threw her staff ID card to the floor. "I'll report this to the authorities, especially you two bastards, Kyle and Gordon!"Her eyes burned red as she snarled. "How many of us female staff members have been harassed and assaulted by the two of you? Is this who we trust to educate the younger generation? Predators?!"The room fell silent. Kyle and Gordon looked stunned and offended. The rest of the men kept their heads down.I stepped forward and raised my arm to shield Astrid. A bad feeling crawled through me. "Wait. What do you mean by pre

It was as if Astrid had completely become her role.Then Gordon's voice erupted across the room. "You think you're so tough, you piece of shit? You got the guts to watch me make a call? Tell me your company's name if you're such a big deal. I'll bankrupt you in a day!"I stopped in my tracks and turned around.Everyone else had already learned not to look my way. Gordon was the only one who stood up, still barking like a mad dog."Oh, so that's it? You want to flex your connections and power?" I sneered.I grabbed one of the phones from the table and tossed it to him. "Go on. Make your perfect phone call. Tell them my name is Sebastian Grimwald, and my company is Sleeping Giant Inc."Call your biggest, meanest backer. I dare you. I guarantee you'll be the one behind bars by the end of the day."Gordon flinched, though rage still burned too hot in his veins for him to back down.He had no idea how ridiculous he sounded. What he had done to the students and faculty was already a

On the other end, Lucas wondered, 'How stupid could this guy be to make Mr. Grimwald his enemy and then call me for help?'"You heard that? You're so fucking dead!" Gordon shouted gleefully. He switched on the loudspeaker, eager for the drama to unfold, while Kyle watched with bright anticipation. He could already picture himself swaggering again with his head held high.Then Lucas' voice came through, tight with panic. "Mr. Grimwald?""That's me. Been a while, Lucas," I said."Yes, true that! I'm honored you still remember me, sir!" Lucas stammered, his tone dripping with flattery. "I'll visit your office tomorrow, but right now I've got to deal with a certain moron here!"His voice turned sharp and venomous. "Do you have any idea how dead you are, Gordon? Of all the people to mess with, you picked Mr. Grimwald?! Let me tell you something—no one can save you now. No one!"The university's already firing you. The chancellor himself will slap the pink slip on your bloody face! Why

Astrid bristled at the noncommittal tone. She held nothing back in exposing Gordon and Kyle.Bryce's face flushed with fury."How could you bastards do this? How could either of you belong to my academy?" he roared. "Get out of my university—and into a cell! I'm calling the cops. I hope they execute the two of you while they're at it!"Kyle knew he had almost no chance of escaping punishment. Desperate, he clung to anyone who might offer him the slightest hope."Please! I only did it because Gordon threatened me! Please help me convince Mr. Grimwald to give me another chance!" he begged.Gordon dropped to his knees beside Bryce, clutching at his leg in panic. "Please! I've done so much for this university! You can't abandon me now! This job is all I have! If you let me go, I'll have nothing! Just wait, please! The investor is coming! They're on their way!"I watched them without emotion.Would Bryce really choose integrity over money? Two serial offenders weighed against a few m

I nodded. "Sounds good."As for Winston—well, I hadn't spoken to him earlier because Astrid needed my help. But now that things were settled, I could finally turn my attention to him.I liked his sincerity, but what drew me in more was his ability to casually sink tens of millions of dollars into any project that caught his interest. His company clearly had deep pockets. All I needed to confirm was that it was legitimate and not involved in anything illegal.Bryce and Winston couldn't wait for my opinion. They both spoke at once."What do you think of his investment?""What about mine?"They exchanged a look. They knew their partnership depended on what I decided."That's fine. Astergrad U is a solid institution. It's a good investment. As for the partnership you mentioned, it's a bit late tonight. How about you visit me at my office tomorrow?" I said with a smile.Their faces lit up. Delighted, they exchanged contact information with me and left Astrid and me alone."Sorry ab
