All the lecturers, including Burl, now had their foreheads on the ground as the two bodyguards continued to kick their bodies.Enduring the pain in their bodies, they continued to plead with Elton.But instead of listening or paying attention to them, Elton turned his anxious gaze to Henry, who just seemed to remain silent."Damn! If he doesn't say anything, I'll torture them until he's satisfied!" he thought."Those damn teachers, they've put my career on the line now!"Since Henry was silent, Elton felt he had to be even harder on them.He felt he had to do this to show Henry that he wouldn't allow anyone to speak ill of the Dean."Stop!"Elton ordered his two bodyguards to stand back.Then he looked at all the teachers."All of you, raise your heads! Now!" he shouted.Reluctantly, with expressions of fear in their eyes, they did as instructed.But their eyes remained fixed on the floor. None of them dared look at Elton at that moment.At that moment, they hoped that Elton would sho
He paused for a moment and continued, "As for the money, I can assure you that he intends to give it to the dedicated teachers who tirelessly taught his son!And since I was the interim dean at the time, he planned to give me ninety percent of it!" he continued."But since you're here, I won't regret it if you take half of it for yourself!"Elton said this as a compromise.He hoped that even if Henry took the money, the young man would still consider leaving a substantial amount for him."He shouldn't dare take the whole amount, should he?" Elton thought. "Because if he does, he knows I could report him to Mr. Gallagher!"When Elton thought he had given the most favorable answer he could think of, Henry's reply was completely unexpected."I didn't ask you to give it to me or not! I'm just testing whether or not you can be honest with me!"Really?Elton was startled at that moment.It was really hard for him to believe what Henry was saying."Is he so rich that he doesn't want a share
Why did the police suddenly arrive and arrest the teachers, including Elton?And how did Henry find out about the donation?The answer to the first question is simple.When Henry heard Burl talking about the tens of USD donation, he secretly took out his cell phone and recorded their conversation.However, since he was listening from outside the room, he felt that the audio recording might not be very clear.He wanted to go in right away, but he was worried about two things.First, "What if they find out my identity?" he thought. "They will certainly cover up this conversation, maybe even deny it!"And second, "If they don't really know me, will they let me in?"At that moment, he brainstormed a way to get those inside to let him in without changing the subject of their conversation.Henry was lucky because not only did none of them know his identity, but they continued to talk about the donation as if Henry was nobody.When everyone went to the door to greet Elton, Henry took his pho
For a moment, Hannah felt like she was seeing a different side of the young man."Is this the same person I met earlier?" she thought.Shaking her head several times, she spoke again."Yes, I know it! I know it is! But if you involve the police in this matter, it will also have a negative impact on the reputation of our campus!Don't you think how people will view our campus if one of the faculty leaders is arrested on the spot?"Hannah spoke with more emotion.Her chest, visibly rising and falling, betrayed the anger within her.But seemingly unaffected by her words, Henry replied."Miss, if you take this matter to the campus ethics committee, are you sure that Elton and everyone else will get the punishment they deserve?"Generally, all campus issues, whether academic, financial, or even administrative, are resolved internally without outside intervention, including the police.In this case, the internal body responsible for handling such matters is usually the university's ethics c
While the two incredibly beautiful girls were still lost in their thoughts, a voice was heard from behind them.Cough! Cough!"Wow, I never thought that a professor would dare to hug his woman so romantically in public!"The voice wasn't too loud, but it could still be heard quite far away.When Henry heard it, he immediately helped Hannah to her feet.Of course, Henry did it very gently, making the newcomer even more convinced that the girl was indeed Henry's girlfriend."Miss Hannah, are you all right?" Henry asked with a look of concern on his face.Asked that way, Hannah just lowered her head and shook it slightly."I'm fine," she said very quietly, almost inaudible to him.It was the first time Hannah had acted like this around Henry.She, who usually exuded authority and felt that she should protect the young man, now felt the opposite in her heart.For the first time, she felt that Henry had the ability to care for and protect her.It was also the first time she had found a you
Seemingly not taking the man's expression too seriously, Henry merely nodded his head slightly."Of course I can't tell you! Aren't you embarrassed to ask me such a thing? As a man, you have to find out for yourself, don't you?" he said with a mocking smile on his lips."Huh, just because you're dating Miss Chapman doesn't mean I'm afraid of you!" Sami retorted.His lips might say that, but what was in his heart was clearly different.The reason he respected Hannah so much, apart from the woman's high status in Waterside, was the existence of the Chapman family's guard.Until now, he had never met the guard.But he had heard that the guard was much stronger than the other three guards, including himself.Meanwhile, on the other side, Henry could sense the fear that Sami was trying to hide."Why does his attitude change when he sees Hannah?" Henry asked himself. "After all, he is a Lane family guardian, right?"Henry didn't have an answer to his question until he remembered Zane's word
"That's why I want you to come with us to see it!" Libby said with a slightly pleading expression."What actually happened?" Henry wondered. "Is that cube really real?"But he didn't think too long before nodding his head."Okay, we can go now!" he said.The three of them then went down from the third floor to the basement.There were about ten people in black suits waiting for them.Next to them were four sleek black sedans lined up neatly.As he approached these people, Henry glanced at Libby, who pulled a smart key from her pocket.She placed the tip of her thumb on the device, and three seconds later, the headlights and taillights of a hypercar-type sports car lit up.With a dominant red color, it was only the roof of the car and the wheels that were painted a different color, black.This car not only looked very sporty, but its body design seemed to be made for maximum aerodynamic effects, allowing it to reach very high speeds when driven on the road.As Henry saw the girl about
In moments of fear, someone is usually not very aware of what they are doing.Control of their body is slightly diminished.Something like this happened to Libby.To avoid what she thought was an imminent collision, she mistakenly stepped on the gas instead of applying the brakes.As a result, the hypercar, which was actually very comfortable to drive and control, veered sharply to the right, crashed into the barrier, and landed on the sparsely treed green grass.The car didn't stop for more than two hundred meters.After that, Henry could see that the ground in front of them was quite low.If the car continued at this speed, he feared that it might tip over or even roll over.A few seconds later, his fears came true.The front left wheel of the car crushed a head-sized rock, throwing it into the air.Meanwhile, as if suffering from mental fatigue, Libby suddenly closed both of her eyes.Seeing this, Henry quickly unbuckled his seatbelt and the one around Libby's waist.In less than a
