"Wait... Darling..." Jenny caught Dean Mo’s hand, her heels echoing in the deserted hallway of the university, ’’Darling... ahh..."
The man yanked his hand out of her grip.
"All you do is cause trouble," A vicious gaze flickered in Dean Mo’s eyes, "What have I taught you all this time?"
"R-Reputation comes first," Jenny froze, her face turning pale when the man stepped towards her.
"And what have you been doing? Trampling my reputation under your feet every day? No matter how I teach you, you are still an incapable slut, huh? You couldn’t even outwit a child without dragging my name into the dirt!"
"Do you know what you have done?" Dean Mo’s breath came out slow and his voice was deep, his veins popped.
Jenny lowered her head.
"Is that why my elder brother didn’t take much offense when you left him for me, huh?"
Jenny’s entire body froze.
Spotting some students in the distance, Dean Mo straightened up and smiled calmly even though his words were laced with poison, "I will deal with you later."
When the man left, Jenny tilted her eyes and clenched her fists.
On the other side, Dean Mo hurriedly reached his office room. He fixed his tie before pushing the door and stepping inside.
He entered the office room and looked at the two old men who occupied two chairs. His huge office room seemed dingy in their presence.
"It’s done. I have already dealt with the matter properly..."
On the other side, the crowd had barely dispersed when Ella pulled Ruby into a corner, "You did it on purpose.’’
Ruby lowered her head slightly.
Kade frowned, ’’From what I heard, you have never gotten less than 95 in any paper. Even if you had to help her, how could you go for marks like 43 and 41...?"
Ruby paused, looked at Ella, and hesitated.
"I was aiming for 33."
To let Ella surpass her.
Ella nearly puked a mouthful of blood when she saw the obvious look of ’I was afraid you wouldn’t even pass in these two subjects’ on Ruby’s face.
Sighing, Ella spoke up, "Even if I surpass you, I cannot truly surpass others if I am not well prepared. Then, there is no point in it as long as I don’t make it to first position."
"I didn’t know how else to help," Ruby calmly said.
Ella felt helpless but the warmth lingered in her heart.
’’How about you tell me some answers next time? That would help." Surrounded by such geniuses, Kade was unabashed. The more geniuses around him, the better he saw his happy future once his cards got unfrozen.
Both Ella and Ruby looked at him.
Kade coughed. "Wait... Don’t you think that the way that bald man acted was quite fishy?"
"Bald man?" Ruby blinked.
"The Dean," Both Ella and Kade spoke up at the same time.
On her way back to her dorms, whispers followed her like shadows. Some of them took out their phones and updated the events that occurred in the university forum.
After reaching her dorm room, the first thing that Ella did was take out her phone to text Adrian.
But, then she changed her mind and called him instead.
"Second Master, we have been working on this for a while now and we have finally gathered these..." A branch member of the King family respectfully passed a thick file to Adrian.
The file was received by Ji Yan on Adrian’s behalf. The moment Ji Yan opened the file and flipped through the contents, the wires in his brain short circuited—
Adrian lifted a brow.
Gulping, Ji Yan bent down and showed him the file. Every page contained pictures of beautiful socialites along with their information.
The branch members of King Family who were gathered around the hall for the meeting with the heir were hustling and bustling.
Except Ji Yan who started trembling when Adrian lowered his gaze to the file.
Ah, the Second Master just reached Vermilion City. Yet,these people came seeking troubles for themselves right away!
"Secretary Ji, is Old Madam not around?" One of the branch members looked at Ji Yan.
"Old Madam has gone for charity," Another answered the question. After saying so, he turned to Adrian, "Second Master, back then, Old Madam had ordered us to gather the profiles of eligible ladies in the country for your marriage—’’
Nobody knew where a cat popped up from. But by the time it happened, it was too late.
Lala had swiped a paw at the file on Ji Yan’s hand and sent it flying to the distant.
After doing so, she showed no remorse. Instead, in the face of a frozen crowd, she did a little ’meow’ and curled on the coffee table.
’’T-This... This..." The elite crowd in the hall were startled, "Where did this wild thing come from? Don’t you know the Second Master despises these creatures? Throw it away..."
The woman froze when in the next moment, Adrian quietly picked the little kitten and placed her on his lap.
The kitten shifted around before she jumped to settle on Adrian’s broad shoulder.
The people held their breaths, awaiting Adrian’s reaction. But the man did not even flinch, as if this was a norm.
Riri dashed down the stairs and stood near Adrian’s feet, his tail swishing.
The people in the hall held their breaths...
Adrian lifted the puppy and placed him on his lap.
If there was a visual representation of ’Who am I? Where am I? Why am I?’, then that would be the faces of the family members right then.
They could not believe the sight in front of them.
The legitimate heir, the aloof and untouchable prince of the King family, sat on a throne chair with a little harmless kitten on his shoulder and a tiny puppy on his lap.
The sight... was too bizarre.
Finally, someone managed to recover from the shock. Seeing that Adrian seemed to treat the animals well, they held their tongues and picked up the file.
"Second Master, about the marriage—’’
"It’s not happening."
Ji Yan’s heart dropped to his stomach.
An old member was the first to recover, "Are you saying that you are not marrying anytime soon, Second Master? You don’t have to worry. The selection process, arrangement of blind date and the grand wedding of the century will take at least two years to prepare...’’
’’Not now, not in years, not ever. My marriage—"
The room plunged in silence.
