Brianna’s gaze remained locked on Camila as she leaned forward on the couch, a mixture of frustration and disillusionment apparent on her face. The urge to confront Camila gnawed at her. 'Not speaking up could indirectly give Camila the impression that she did something right,’ Brianna thought to herself."Camila, we've been close for so long, and now you decide to play a trick by contaminating the food? It’s an obvious and direct act of attempted murder," Anger and revulsion were evident in Brianna’s voice as it cut through the tense atmosphere. Camila, lacking the ability to defend herself, stared at the ground, her face marked with guilt."What was the reason for your decision to pull that stunt? Your stupidity could cost the chef their jobs. Just think, if I had ingested the toxin you planned for Leander .....," Brianna's tone was fiery and resolute. Frowning in annoyance, she demanded with authority, "Now tell me where the hell you stash the poison?”"I'm sorry; but I would exp

Leander's smile strained, his eyes shut in resolve. "Are you convinced that I’m eager to be the new owner of Etherium University?" he declared. McCoy chuckled softly, furrowing his brows. Leander's words hit him like a sudden gust of wind, leaving him incredulous. "Leander, you can't be serious," McCoy said in disbelief. A flicker of annoyance flashed across Leander's face before he regained his composure. He was not about to let McCoy underestimate him. "Hahaha, Etherium University's value is beyond your pocket money," McCoy countered. Leander met McCoy's doubtful gaze and held it steadily. It was clear that McCoy had no idea what he was capable of. Undeterred, Leander persisted. "I'm serious. I can secure this university in weeks if the administration transfer process is expedited," he asserted confidently. McCoy's eyes twinkled as he swallowed, a mischievous grin playing on his lips. "You know, our university's got a cool £900 million in the bank," he said with a hint

They quickly turned around, fixing their gazes at the door. Brianna stepped closer to the door, her heart racing before she realized it wasn't fully closed. She let out a sigh of relief and then used her biometrics to lock it."Why would a modern and smart door like this creak so audibly?" Leander asked, a bit spooked."Uh, I have no idea," Brianna replied, "but I won't ignore your words because Rex is a cunning guy"Leander followed her into the living room, his expression filled with intrigue. "This doesn't look like a usual bedroom," he remarked, his tone sharp with curiosity."Is that your bedroom? It's kind of empty," he said.Brianna fell silent for a moment before looking up sternly at Leander. "I already told you there are vacant rooms here but that's not my bedroom. It's located on the upper floor," she stated firmly.She exhaled sharply, her gaze icy as she continued, "I've reconsidered giving you that vacant room because of your hesitance and nerves. Were you afraid to work

Leander parked his elegant Rolls-Royce Ghost Prism in a tranquil park close to the entrance of Etherium University, discreetly checking the time and eagerly anticipating Brianna’s arrival. With a sigh, he turned off the car engine and his self-assured smirk faded. Watching students hauling their bags towards the university, he couldn’t help but feel a wave of anxiety and doubt, causing his shoulders to droop. Had he not been expelled, he would have arrived for the next semester by now. ‘Was this how his life was supposed to play out?’ As a pang of envy shot down his spine, he felt traumatized and lost in his own thoughts. Memories came rushing back, bringing unshed tears to his eyes upon seeing the expulsion letter from Dean Walker. He fought to manage the overwhelming surge of emotions, reliving every detail of that fateful day. Leander's expression turned angry as memories of Rex overwhelmed him. He began to pound his fists against the steering wheel in frustration. "I ca

Leander's doubts and anxieties were evident in his eyes, causing Mr. Parker to let out a deep sigh. He anticipated Leander's response to the suggestion."How can I possibly get a visa and all necessary travel documents within a few days? That seems unlikely. I don't believe it's the best option," Leander rejected the offer with a displeased frown."I want a clear explanation for why I cannot simply make a video call and speak with him over the phone," Leander stated authoritatively, his words laced with curiosity.“Visiting your father is the right choice, a sign of respect. There are deeper reasons behind this tied to the royal dynasty. Some royals plot to manipulate the monarch into taking most of your father's wealth..." Before finishing, Leander froze in shock and disbelief.“Damn!” Annoyed and frustrated, he cursed under his breath, his mind racing with possibilities. “How can I trust you? Are you playing me?” Leander shot back sharply, a smirk playing on his lips.“If you make
