After he finished speaking, the school officials went up to the students who had arrived by helicopter and escorted them off the campus. Next, the students were divided into four groups that split up to the north, south, east, and west. They had all received text informing them of their group assignments and a link to their schedule.As they were all filing into the buildings for their orientation classes, Kevin pulled up and parked in a visitor spot. "Kevin, you're the slowest driver I've ever seen. How can you get someplace late in a Pagane Roadster." George teased Kevin."Why don't you drive next time? Anyway, it was your idea to take the Dan Ryan Expressway." Kevin snapped back. Of course, they'd been stuck in a traffic jam on the way there. A ride that should have taken a little over half an hour dragged on for almost two hours. The school had been granted a piece of land in the suburbs many years before, but it had taken a long time for the construction to be completed."That's
George could see that Kevin wasn't happy, so he tactfully stepped aside to give the two of them some privacy. Suddenly, they heard someone nearby mocking Kevin loudly."Say, isn't that the bum who's been mooching off the Jones family?" Sure, when Blair walked up holding hands with Officer Helene, he said to Kevin disdainfully, "Of course. Now you can't sponge off them anymore, can you? Even your wife has been kicked out of the family. How will you ever survive?""That's enough, Sherwin. I told you not to start any trouble with Kevin." Officer Helene snapped at him. As a member of the Veridonia Police Department, she naturally couldn't attend school. But she happened to have the day off, so she decided to visit the campus with her fiancé."I can't believe you're still standing up for this trash, Kelly. Anyway, I'm only telling you this because you're the only one who knows. I'm telling the truth," Blair said loudly. "This guy is a complete waste of space. I really don't know how he was
The other students in the class were amused by this last detail and started to laugh. How could a freeloader manage to buy a condo in a luxury building, especially the most exclusive place in the whole city? This had to be a joke.The professor was visibly irritated by their laughter. Kevin was secretly surprised to see her reaction. But he suspected that she was far more powerful than she looked."What are you laughing at? What's so funny about what I just said? Don't you realize that Kevin probably had good reason to put himself in that situation?" Professor Murdock said with a serious look on her face."Don't think that you're superior to him just because you're from wealthy families. I'm not afraid to tell you that you're all a bunch of trash as far as I'm concerned." No one dared to argue with her.They had already seen the consequences of ticking her off. And nobody wanted to suffer the same fate as Chase Rogers. So they just sat there and listened. Kevin looked at Professor Mur

While they were talking, Lily walked over and smiled at the two of them. Then she offered Kevin and George each a bottle of water. "That's very thoughtful of you, Lily. Just what we needed after a punishment like that," George said gratefully as he took the bottle.He unscrewed the top and poured the water down his throat like he was in a drinking contest. "That sure feels good,” he said with a satisfied sigh. But Kevin didn't take the bottle that Lily had offered him.In fact, he didn't even look at her. "Come on, get up. Let's go clean up and get something to eat and drink," Kevin exclaimed as he gave George a friendly kick in the calf. George stood up shakily. His legs still felt pretty weak, even though his tendons had almost completely healed. But he felt like a gust of wind could knock him over.He looked at Kevin and told him, “Can’t you see that Lily wants to talk to you about something?""There's nothing for us to talk about. Let's go get a drink," Kevin replied bitterly. See
"No problem, just be a little more careful," Lily replied considerately. But Kevin had a bad feeling and asked her, "Is there something wrong?" He could tell that she was a university student and he could see that she was in a hurry. But what worried him was that her eyes were filled with panic.When Kevin and Lily arrived at her building's parking garage, they decided to go to the mall first and buy a gift for Martha. On the way to the mall entrance, a young woman bumped into Lily because she was looking behind her fearfully while she was walking. Kevin asked her if something was wrong. Kevin didn't always meddle in other people's business. But after all, the Sapphire Heights Hotel's vast complex was partly his responsibility.He'd personally put Rachel in charge of it. And if something bad happened here, it was very likely that it would fall back on him sooner or later. That's why Kevin decided to ask the woman if she needed any help."No, no," the woman replied hesitantly. But Kevi
When she heard this melody felt guilty but she was also deeply moved, she didn’t expect Kevin to help her this much. After all they just met by chance, and the same time melody also knew that if it weren't for her Kevin wouldn't be in this humiliating situation so she decided to do something to keep him from being harmed."Riley that's enough I'll do whatever you want but you have to promise to let this man and his wife live here safely." She said tearfully. "Ohh so you agree now" Riley blurted out mockingly, "well now it's too late I'm not interested in you anymore I just want to have this guy's legs broken."Kevin didn't wait t for Melody to reply he reached out and pulled her behind him as he sized up the situation. "So you're Riley Collins." Kevin said ominously."What it's with you Riley roared angrily. “Just look at you and your crappy clothes what did you think you were going to do with this college student anyway. How about I teac
Rachel regained her composure and she walked over to Kevin, she carefully asked him. "What do you think we should do about this boss." Rachel really wanted to asked Kevin if he'd calmed down but that would have been ridiculous. The smile on his face made her very unsure about how he was going to respond. "He's your brother what do you think we should do with him." Kevin asked as he glanced at Rachel. "Not only did he insult me but he also insulted this young lady behind me." Rachel didn't understand what Kevin meant, she immediately walked over to melody and apologized to her."Hi, I'm Riley's older sister, if he's offended you in any way I hope you can accept my apologies. Can you forgive him.""I actually......" melody stammered she really didn't know what to say. Infact she never thought that somebody like Rachel would ever apologize to her. Seeing melody's reaction Rachel walked over to her brother and kicked him in the shin."What are you standing there for hurry up and apologiz
After about five days, she would be like any other normal person, and she wouldn't be able to use medicinal herbs to regain what she had lost. I can't believe that this pill can do all that, Kevin marveled. His thoughts were interrupted by an unfamiliar ringtone. For a second, he wondered if there was a burglar in the house, but then he realized that the sound was coming from his pocket.Who would be making a video call to Penny in the middle of the night? Could it be her boyfriend? Kevin wondered. By reflex, he answered the call. A moment later, he saw a beautiful woman standing in front of her closet picking out clothes. Oops, didn't mean to see that, Kevin thought to himself.She looked very familiar to him, but he just couldn't place her. While he was looking at her, trying to figure out who she was, the woman turned around to see why nobody was talking yet. When she saw Kevin, she screamed and disconnected the call.That's when Kevin realized that she was the young woman whose gr
"How much do you want?" His father asked him, as expected, Wyatt started to freak out. Mike said, "You think money grows on trees? Didn't I just give you that much a few days ago?" How could Wyatt Tripp not go ballistic? He'd worked his entire life to build up his business and now his son was just giving his money away. Mike was frustrated by his father's response. He'd only gotten in this situation because he was trying to get elected student leader.If his father wasn't willing to help, he might have to tell his classmates the truth. "What are you talking about, Dad? School’s going great. And my teachers are fantastic." Mike told his father, laying it on thick. "It's definitely a serious program."“What the hell are you talking about? When did I ask you about school?" Wyatt shouted into his phone. I don't give a crap if you like the place or not. "Don't worry, Dad, I'm doing great." He continued. "But it would really help if you could transfer some money into my account.""I'll tra
"It wouldn't be a great idea to trick her like that." He really didn't want to make a bad impression on Penny. "No problem, Mike." Luther continued. "If Penny helps you pay the bill, you can use it as an excuse to get closer to her. You could even connect with her online to arrange to repay her and to get to know her better." Mike got really excited by this idea.He slapped Luther on the back and said, "I like the way you think. It's a good thing I brought you two guys along." When Kevin heard this, he quickly headed back to the VIP room. As he got to the door, Penny was walking out. Kevin came up with a plan of his own. As Penny brushed against him, he used the light touch that he'd learned about in the secret guide and took her phone and wallet.Let's see what Mike does now. Kevin smirked as he slipped the items into his jacket. With all his posturing, he isn't really that strong. Let's see him show his true colors. When Kevin returned to his seat and sat down, Mike and his two budd
"That has to be disappointing. You think you're more handsome than me? Everyone knows that just isn't true." Kevin teased him. "What do you mean by that?" Mike retorted as he slammed his fist on the table. "Don't be angry, Mike. This whole thing really isn't worth it." Lionel tried to persuade his friend. Then Luther tried to calm him down. "Relax, Mike. You're absolutely right. Kevin must be jealous of you. That's why I said there's something wrong with this pill.""You still don't understand, do you? Both you and your father were cheated by someone. This isn't an augmentation pill at all. Kevin told them bluntly. An augmentation pill is more of a light blue color. Plus it contains some floral ingredients which gives it a beautiful fragrance. Take another look at the medicinal pill you just gave our professor." Kevin continued."It's obviously the wrong color and has no fragrance at all." They were all stunned to hear him say this. Even Penny reacted and stared keenly at Kevin. Mike
"Don't be so modest, Mike. Who is better qualified to be our class leader?" Luther chimed in. The rest of the students just sat there quietly and watched the show that the three of them were putting on. But they didn't want to seem ungrateful. So they were willing to go along with the idea of electing Mike to the position."Since no one has any objections, then how could I decline? But let's just call it a temporary position. If anyone feels that I'm not carrying my weight, just say so." Mike declared as he raised his glass to toast his classmates.Professor Murdock stayed out of the discussion. And quietly observed her students as they drank their wine and socialized with each other. Meanwhile, Penny just sat quietly by the window nursing her glass to mute. Her classmates were too intimidated by her to go up and talk to her.While this was going on, Mike took Lionel aside and asked him to go down to his car and bring back a red gift box that he'd left in the trunk. Lionel came back a
"Since you think this is just a bus pass, I guess I'll just put it back in my wallet." Kevin said as he started to take it back from the concierge. “Well, since you've already taken it out, why don't we give it a try?" Mike replied. He obviously didn't want to pass up this opportunity to make Kevin look like a fool. So he ran things up and added."Let's see what the hotel staff can do with it." While the crowd was laughing at Kevin, the hotel employees were staring in disbelief. They weren't sure how to defuse the situation. The employee who was holding Kevin's card started to get very nervous when she took a good look at it. During their training, all of the employees of the Whistler Hotel had been required to memorize the appearance of the Supreme VIP card. And that's exactly what Kevin had handed her. Cook had explained to them that there were only five cards like this in all of Veridonia. And they were only given to the hotel's most prestigious clients.The group of students saw t
"Unfortunately, the Whitsler Hotel's largest room was only available to special guests." Mitchell Cook didn't mind if the largest private rooms remained empty most of the time. It was more important to have them available for his wealthiest clients. Since the staff hadn't been alerted by Cook that there would be a VIP group this evening, they assumed that this bunch of students didn't have the proper reservation."What kind of rule is that? I don't have a membership card, and I'm not from around here. All we need is a room. I don't care how much it costs. I'm willing to cover it." Mike said confidently."I'm sorry, sir. Without a VIP membership card, we won't be able to open the room for you." The concierge replied firmly. "Then can I apply for a membership card right now?" Mike asked. You could tell he was extremely disappointed to see his plans fall apart like this."I'm sorry, sir. Our largest private room is only available for our most exclusive members. Als
"Please, just say it. You won't hurt my feelings." Kevin exclaimed as he watched the road. "Just look at what happened in the parking lot. Your classmates were all looking down on you because they thought you didn't have a car. It seems that you invite this kind of ridicule, “she said bluntly."If you're too embarrassed to take anything from your wife, then you really should jump at this opportunity." Professor Murdock told him earnestly. "The School for the Healing Arts is the greatest opportunity in your life. Just work hard and focus. If you have any questions, you can always come to me. This is your chance to make a name for yourself.""I understand what you're saying, Professor. I'll definitely work harder from now on," he replied. Kevin stopped at a crosswalk and said to her very sincerely, "But could you please give me my phone back first? I promise I won't take it out during class."“Haven’t you been listening to me?" she snapped at him
"Mike's absolutely right," Lionel agreed. Kevin, "Professor Murdock really took it easy on you today. That's why you're being allowed to come along to tonight's dinner. Don't put any of your classmates in an embarrassing position. Just take a taxi. If you don't have enough money on you for a cab or to call for a ride on your own, I'll give you a few bucks to cover you. How about $20?" Then he pulled some cash out of his pocket and offered it to Kevin.Everyone around them laughed when they saw him do this. They really thought Kevin was pathetic. Kevin frowned as he looked at the money in Lionel's hand. He wondered what the heck was wrong with these guys. "Aren't you overwhelmed by my generosity?" Lionel grinned as he patted Kevin on the shoulder. "There's no need to thank me. After all, we're classmates.""Did I tell you I needed a ride? “Kevin replied very coolly. "What do you mean? Don't tell me you drove here." Mike sneered."You really drove here, Kevin? Quick, show everyone what
