***** “You want my daughter to marry a nobody who does not even have any fame or reputation in the world? Never! I would rather die than accept that.” A beautiful middle-aged woman who was seated on a couch declared fiercely as soon as Ares entered, apparently communicating to herself while seething with a visible rage. "Honey," Smith called out, acting as though he was oblivious to his wife's words, prompting her to slowly lift her head in response. “Who sent the package?” She inquired coldly, but in the following moment, she noticed the stranger, Ares. “Why did you let the delivery person into my house?” She looked away from Ares and shot her husband a disapproving glare. Smith, hearing his wife, however directly offer a wry smile before he felt a sudden headache creeping in. Even though they had envisioned Ares's appearance numerous times, they had never pictured him like this, sweating heavily in worn-out clothes which was why Smith did not blame his wife for also failing to
*****‘Me? Offer me $1,000,000 to make me stay married with her for a month?’Ares’s mouth was widely opened at this moment as he gaped at Olivia, hearing her words. He didn’t even know whether to laugh or cry.‘Does this woman even have the idea that I can give one million people that amount of money she wished to hire me with?’ He was deeply perplexed.Meanwhile, both Ava and Smith also continued gaping speechlessly at their daughter for a long time, wondering what she was doing. Finally, Ava couldn’t control herself again.“Argh!!! You brat, are you trying to make me go insane?!! Did you not just hear me saying that you will never marry this poor boy? How dare you now offer to even pay him such a massive amount of money I’m certain he had never dreamed of having in his life to marry you?”Although she had been furious right from the onset of all this, the level of her rage was so much right now that her breathing was already incredibly fast, trying to keep herself from burs
*****“Is something the matter?” Observing Olivia, who seemed lost in her thoughts to the point of nearly causing several accidents, Ares, after much hesitation, finally spoke up gently, unable to hold back any longer.As soon as Olivia heard his voice, which broke the silence within the car, she turned her eyes slightly to look at him, but then she ignored him.Ares, knowing well that something was the matter, most especially after seeing the little scene in Olivia’s house did not want to give up.He wants to help Olivia, and there is no other reason for this than because he feels he must take all the responsibilities for her now that he has taken her virginity.“Why don’t you share it with me if I can help?”“You?”Olivia instantly became irritated when she realized that the stranger, Ares was not giving up.She immediately gave him a displeased and contemptuous gaze, hearing his words.“If you had the type of help I need, you would not have stooped so low to get me drunk
***** “This… Ora, look, is that not the new gigolo of our school?” “Where? Where is he? Ah!!! That’s definitely him! That’s the son of a bitch who also decided to go for a wealthy lady because his girlfriend left him for a wealthy man!” “Ah, so, he is really the one! Hahaha! What else did you guys expect from someone with such a handsome look in the first place, though? Of course, he would absolutely want to rely on his appearance to survive.” …. “Aish!!! As handsome as he is, he’d actually stoop so low to be a gigolo of a wealthy lady. What an embarrassment to manhood.” “Dang! I suddenly even feel like puking, looking at him!” …. Upon Ares's arrival on campus, just like the day before, everyone began to point at him and murmur, but unlike the previous day, today’s topic was entirely different. ‘Am I the gigolo?’ Ares couldn’t help but think speechless, hearing everyone and seeing them pointing at him. In addition to feeling deeply embarrassed, Ares was genuinely puzzled at t
*****As though they had been dying for Ares to ask the question, the two brothers, fighting each other for who to speak immediately embarked on recounting it.As it was, it began after Ares was gone that morning.After the dormitory boys regained their senses, more than half of them immediately harbored hatred toward Ares, arguing that he didn't deserve to be chosen by such a beautiful lady. This sentiment led to this over half members of the crowd feeling genuinely infuriated, prompting them to post derogatory remarks and comments about him on the school's platform.Some claimed that he had become a gigolo to an old wealthy woman who was on the verge of death and the others claimed that he had become a boy toy to a wealthy lady, relying on his look.As for the other members of the crowd, they immediately became die-hard fans and supporters of Ares, then without needing anybody to urge them, they created a group on the school platform, naming it, the Army for Ares.This small g
*****The moment the announcement that rang across the entire University echoed, everybody, no matter what they were doing, acting, or saying became pin-drop silent.The silence was so deafening that it lasted for more than ten minutes before immediately, deep disarray ensued within the school.“Was that not the famous Announcement Red that just rang?” A third-year student, who was in the midst of eating gasped and instantly, the spoon she was holding fell."Oh my god! I've heard about this announcement before, but wasn't it said to have only been used once or twice since its invention which was over fifty years ago!" A first-year student who had just resumed school that morning inhaled deeply from disbelief."Called to the panel's court? Isn't that where examination malpractice cases are dealt with? And the Red Announcement that was just used, isn't it reserved for people who've committed serious offenses that could land them in prison?""Dang! What serious offense could the pe
*****"Are you absolutely certain that we should go through this route? Will it not have even more negative consequences on us later if we end up being wrong?" Dean Jaye who presently had a disarray countenance that was so unlike his usual composed and arrogant appearance carefully inquired.Michael, clad in a stylish and pricey Gucci suit, grinned, not taking his uncle’s fear to heart. “Just trust me, uncle. There are not going to be any negative consequences anywhere.”“Didn't I tell you that I spotted that son of a bitch earlier at the bank, not even having up to a thousand dollars in his account? So, tell me, what threat could he possibly pose to us?" He gazed casually at his uncle.“But…”"Uncle," Sarah interjected, standing proudly beside Michael with a heavily made-up face. "You shouldn't be scared of that worthless loser and rather trust my fiancé. That failure really has no relationship whatsoever with Master Robert.” “It looks more like he has something important to Master Ro
*****The usual composition of Bee University's Panel consists of four members: the Chancellor serving as the judge, the Vice-chancellor in the absence of the Chancellor, and four additional department directors acting as the jurors. "What's happening?" The director of the Art department suddenly asked quietly, his mouth still agape in shock at the large number of students flooding into the court.The four directors exchanged puzzled looks before turning their attention to the Vice Chancellor, who was seated on a raised chair between them.“I don’t know.” The Vice-chancellor, an elderly man with a scholarly appearance shook his head, knowing that the question was meant for him.He glanced inquiringly at Dean Jaye and saw the stunned expression on his face as well.‘Didn't he say the boy in question is despised by almost everybody in the school? Where did he suddenly find such a large group of supporters?’ The elderly man’s mind became chaotic, but then after a moment of thought
