Matthew was wide-eyed at Claire's statement. She gave Elena a sharp look, making her even more frightened."Mr. Matthew, we're standing here because Elena won't let us sit down. Professor Jim, Jack's lecturer, has agreed to ask the equipment department to get chairs for us, but Elena forbade it on the grounds that it violates procedure. I don't know which procedure she's referring to, maybe the procedure of embarrassing people! She's so talented at it!" Claire vented her anger.She had tried hard to be quiet, even very quiet, unlike her usual self who never stopped talking."You know Mr. Matthew, this woman has insulted Jack with very harsh words. If Jack hadn't warned me to control myself since yesterday, I would have slapped Elena hard across the face." Claire raised her right hand. She had scared Elena!But that wasn't enough, Claire continued, "I'm also thinking of punching her bloody lips to make her stop talking. Then, I would pull her hair out of her head. Seriously, I thought

Jack was indeed upset about Elena's attitude towards him. However, he was also angry when he found out that Elena had also been insolent to the lecturer he respected so much.Offending the young master was already a big mistake, let alone making him angry.Although Professor Jim didn't think much of Elena's behavior, Jack still couldn't forget it."You must admit all your mistakes and apologize publicly to Professor Jim. Only then will I forgive you." Jack emphasized. This time his facial expression was cold, with no smile at all.Claire smiled with satisfaction at Jack's request. The punishment was well worth it.'Feel it! What are you going to do now? I'm sure you won't swallow back the words that have come out of your mouth. And that means, you can't save your pride anymore!' Claire thought as she took Jack's arm and rested her head on his shoulder.Like Claire, Matthew also felt happy and relieved. Although he didn't know what happened before, admitting mistakes and apologizing in

The jaws of Mrs. Sarah and the others, who had known Jack for a long time, opened wide enough for a goose egg to enter. They were so shocked that they felt like they had been electrocuted.Meanwhile, as Jack walked to the podium, the invited guests cheered loudly. They felt very lucky to be the 'first' to know what the idolized Young Master Roodenburg looked like."He's so handsome, more handsome than I imagined," commented one woman. It seemed like a familiar comment.Another invited guest also praised, "Being a tycoon with endless wealth, with a heart of gold, with a dazzlingly handsome face, with a tall and well-built body, what better word to describe Young Master than perfect?""Look at his gaze, so calm and soothing. Looking at Young Master makes my heart feel calm. I forgot about my anxiety for the job interview tomorrow."And there were many more compliments from people.However, unlike the graduates and invited guests who continued to praise Jack, the campus council, lecturer

Elena's legs were shaking violently. It was very difficult for her to walk to the call of the MC. Hence, she still hadn't moved from her spot.People started whispering, including those in the front row, the campus council and the rector, who had been looking for Elena in the auditorium since earlier. They wanted to question her performance. What had she done to not give Young Master Roodenburg a proper seat, until he asked for it himself."Miss Stuart, we cordially invite you to come up to the podium." The MC called out again. He must have known who it was, one of the most annoying lecturers who often spoke rudely to students, except those from wealthy families.The MC didn't know what Elena really wanted to say in front of everyone. Clearly, it would be a sickening session if Elena started praising herself. In the MC's view, listening to the rector's speech was still better. The young man wanted to skip this session because the woman who was called did not come to the podium. Howeve

Exactly, the voice of the woman shouting encouragement was indeed not Mrs. Sarah anymore, but the voice of Young Master Roodenburg's fiancée, Claire Boutcher. She made Jack tiptoe a little in surprise, as the shouting sounded sudden. Meanwhile, Matthew, who was also sitting not far from her, now covered his mouth with his hand.'Miss Claire is indeed unique,' he praised to himself.Of course, what Claire said made people wide-eyed."Admitting a mistake? So, Miss Stuart didn't come on stage to give a motivational speech or an activity report? She's there to admit a mistake?" said one of the graduates. Although he said it in an ordinary voice, it was enough to be heard by the ears of many people because the place was very quiet.A young man replied, "I'm afraid this event will continue for a week." His face became very sour."Why do you think that?" His mother asked."Because Miss Stuart has so many faults, Mama. Of all the students she has taught, I'm sure many of them have been hurt b
