All Chapters of Since When Is Giving My Own Bodyguard Orders Bullying?: Chapter 1 - Chapter 7

I slid the withdrawal form back across the desk to Celine."Three hundred thousand euros."I pointed at my latte-stained shoes."Are you going to wipe them yourself, or do I need to show you how?"Celine planted both hands on the desk and leaned in, stunned."You're about to go down, and you're still acting like a princess?"I wouldn't pay 3,000 for those shoes."Sign it, get out of this school, and stop torturing Lucas!"I looked up and swept my gaze over the crowd behind her.Dozens of people held up their phones, flashes on and cameras pointed straight at me.The person in the photo Celine had slapped on the desk was Lucas, all right.My personal bodyguard.To avoid attracting the attention of my family's enemies, he posed as a student on campus.Who would have thought that keeping a low profile would become proof that I was a bully?I leaned back in my chair and tapped the desk."My dad pays him ten million euros a year to be my bodyguard."Which school rule did I break by putting

At five that afternoon, I got a text from my advisor.It said I had to go to the underground wine cellar on the old campus right away to help pull video evidence from Lucas's part-time job.I knew it was one of Celine's traps.But she had the comm device. I had to get it back before it caused a security disaster no one could contain.The cellar on the old campus had been abandoned for years. Hardly anyone went down there anymore.I had barely made it down the steps when the iron door slammed shut behind me.I heard metal scrape as the lock slid into place."Celine, what are you playing at now?"I stood by the iron door and spoke evenly.On the other side of the door, Celine laughed."Not so fun being broke and powerless, is it, princess?"Lucas stood in the pouring rain for two hours as punishment."Tonight, you can stay in this cold room and get a taste of what he went through!"As soon as she finished speaking, the exhaust fan roared to life. Cold air rushed in from every direction.

Celine's smile froze on her face as the barrel pressed against her forehead."Lucas... have you... have you lost your mind?"Her voice shook. She lost her grip on her wineglass, and it shattered on the floor."I was trying to save you! And you're pointing a gun at me?"Lucas didn't even look at her. He pushed the barrel forward an inch, making her stumble back two steps."You think your worthless life is worth hers?"He didn't raise his voice, but everyone felt a chill."Where is she?"Celine's legs gave out, and she dropped down onto the broken glass."I... I don't know..."Lucas had no patience for her lies. He kicked the crystal podium beside him, and it shattered.He snatched the flashing watch from Celine's hand and pressed a few buttons.The screen showed exactly where the heart-rate alarm had gone off."The cold room under the old campus."Lucas's eyes went icy.He spun around and ran for the old campus.15 minutes later.Outside the iron door of the cold room, a military breach

The moment she was cuffed, Celine lost it completely.She thrashed so hard her gown tore, and she screamed without a shred of dignity."You can't arrest me! My dad is a trustee! I did it for justice!"The officers ignored her. Two of them hauled her up by the arms and dragged her toward the door.At the same time, my family's legal team walked into the room in step, carrying briefcases.Elliot, the lead attorney, tossed a file in front of Harold."Mr. Lawson, we've referred Ms. Lawson's crimes to prosecutors and filed our civil case in court."Under local law, she faces at least ten years in prison, and we won't settle our civil claims."Harold's vision went dark, and he nearly passed out.But Elliot wasn't done. He pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses."Together with the auditors, we've begun dismantling the Lawson family business."The evidence of your corruption and kickbacks has already been handed over to the prosecutors."As of this minute, the Lawson family is bankrupt."Harold's m
