Dozens of photographs were thrown into the air from Rudolph's hand in the direction of Henry."Can you tell me why you have these?" He asked without getting up from his seat.Henry lowered his head slightly to inspect the scattered pictures on the floor.Without touching a single one, both of his eyes could tell that they were of girls wearing only bras and underwear, captured in various poses.But that wasn't all.The surprising part was the large balloon in the shape of the number 17 towering behind them."Seventeenth birthday? They're still so young! Even if they're all college students, demonstrating their intellectual maturity, that's still a year below the legal age of adulthood. So any intimate involvement with them could be considered illegal," Henry mused.But after a moment of closer examination, he furrowed his brow."Who are these girls? Why do they look so familiar?" he thought.As Henry tried to examine the girls in the photos more closely, Rudolph barked at him again."
Hallie... Williamson?Henry's guess was correct."No wonder this girl doesn't seem to be completely unfamiliar!"Although he wasn't particularly interested in matters like this, he knew that a girl with such a high social status as Hallie would never engage in embarrassing acts like this."But why would she distribute her own private photos? Isn't that a bit strange?" Henry pondered."Mr. Suchet, I truly declare that I have absolutely no knowledge of these pictures!Even if they were found in my locker, isn't there still the possibility that someone else put them there, right?So I don't think you can accuse me just because the pictures were in my locker!"As expected from a professor, even in a stressful situation like this, Henry could still think clearly and control his emotions."Hahaha! Even with clear evidence found in your locker, you're still trying to deny it!Good! Good! Very good!No wonder you were awarded the best graduate student last year! Not only are you intelligent,
Hallie turned around, ready to leave the room.But suddenly..."Wait!"Henry's voice stopped her."What else do you want? You want us to teach you a harsher lesson?" Hattie said, her hands on her hips."From now on, never bother us or anyone else! Got it? Oh, but why should I tell you if you're going to be in jail soon! Hahaha!"Henry seemed unfazed by the taunt.While the girl was still lost in laughter, he asked, "Miss Hattie, you said that a month ago I was involved in an attempt to molest one of my students. Can you be more specific about what class and what day or date this happened?""Matthews!" Rudolph scolded. "How dare you ask such a question! Have you no shame in letting others recount your misdeeds in greater detail?""Mr. Suchet, you misunderstand! This lady said that she doesn't believe that there is a professor who would harm his students. So do I. I just don't believe I would be involved in such a crime!"Turning to Hattie, Henry continued, "So can you answer my questio
Hallie had heard from her father's trusted source that some bodyguards were watching over her, but she didn't know who they were."This young man... how does he know that?"While her mind was still pondering, Henry spoke again."You wouldn't believe it if I didn't prove it to you, would you? Now pay attention!"Having said that, Henry suddenly hugged Hallie from behind and put one of his hands on her neck."You scoundrel! What is this? What are you trying to do? Matthews, quickly release Miss Hallie!"Just as Rudolph shouted at Henry, the door burst open and several young men dressed casually, like college students, entered the room.One... Two...There were four of them."Hey, kid, I'm sure you're smart enough not to do anything stupid! Release Miss Hallie right now!" one of the four men shouted."If I don't release her, what are you going to do?""If you force us, don't blame me if I take action!"The man addressed the other three men.After nodding, they understood what they had to
Chapter 19 - Let Me Handle Them! "W-what do you mean...?" The calm expression on Anayah's face was beginning to fade. The same was true for Hattie. Before they came into this room, they had no idea that they would have to face Henry, and they didn't care. All this time, with their status as Hallie's friends, they could do anything on campus without anyone daring to stop them. In their minds, even if the young man named Henry was from a wealthy family, he certainly wasn't a match for Hallie. So what did they have to fear? However, when they met him and saw how he defended himself, they realized that he was not someone they could deal with. Only Hallie remained calm. Seeing Henry's sharp gaze and questions didn't make her afraid and want to leave the place. Instead, she felt like she wanted to stay there even longer. "Matthews, what kind of nonsense are you talking about? Is this how you treat students? And don't even think about threatening her or any other student while I'm h
It was 8:00 p.m. at a restaurant in a corner of Waterside City."Even after a year abroad, I can never forget the taste of this dish!"With a spoon in her mouth, Hannah couldn't stop praising the delicious ratatouille in front of her.Unlike her appearance earlier in the day, when she wore a short-sleeved red cocktail dress, she now had a more casual yet captivating look."Of course! This restaurant is the only place that serves ratatouille with this unique combination of vegetables and sauce! You won't find this combination anywhere else."In contrast to Hannah, Henry ate his meal calmly.Although ratatouille could be found in many places, even abroad, this restaurant had its own special recipe that set it apart."By the way, did you hear the news about the art department at Fairfield College?" Hannah asked.Fairfield College was one of the six constituent campuses of Waterside University.Just as there were six boroughs in Waterside, there were six constituent campuses for this univ
Thirty minutes earlier.In a private room of a luxurious restaurant, three young girls sat at a long table meant for ten people."What did you do? How did these photos get out?"A beautiful girl in an oversized t-shirt placed the last photo in a small oven on the side of the table.There was still a small flame burning from the top of the stove, and it was filled with the remains of the recently burned photo paper.As she said this, she took a sip of the strong drink in her other hand."Didn't I tell you that none of my private photos were ever supposed to get out?" she said as she took another drink.These were photos taken on Hallie's seventeenth birthday, almost a year ago.At that time, after a family gathering, Anayah and Hattie convinced Hallie to have a wild party and encouraged her to drink various types of alcohol until she got drunk.Due to the excessive drinking, Hallie felt too hot and unconsciously began to remove her clothes.At that moment, she was wearing only a thin b
Despite her very weak and immobile body, Hallie could still hear everything they said.At that moment, tears streamed uncontrollably from both corners of her eyes.It was the first time the cold-hearted girl had ever cried.She had trusted these two girls almost like her own sisters, but they were just friends to exploit her.Even worse, they wanted to sell her to a rich man, not just a year ago, but even now."You two, what have I done to you? Why are you so heartless to me?"Hallie asked them, tears streaming weakly from the corners of her eyes."You ask me, what is your fault? Are you blind?"Slap!While pulling Hallie's hair, Anayah slapped her hard on the cheek."Every time we go somewhere, all eyes are on you and all praise is directed at you!Do you think we are lifeless objects without feelings?If you hadn't stolen all the attention, praise, and admiration, we certainly wouldn't have taken revenge on you!""But it's too late now!"Slap!Hattie said as she also slapped Hallie
