Meanwhile, with her anxiety reaching for the sky, Elena looked confused in the main parking lot of the University of Carnaby. She was rattling her waist beside her Lamborghini Egoista."Where exactly is Young Master Roodenburg now? No Lamborghini car has entered the campus other than this one. This must be Young Master Roodenburg's car."Elena was even more convinced because the car had the Roodenburg family logo on it."But where is the young master? There's no way I'm asking Mr. Matthew again. I can't look foolish in front of high-class people, especially in front of those who are related to Young Master." Elena shook her head before holding her own head.Actually, Elena had already prepared a special place for the Young Master. It was truly a very exclusive place with everything in it only being of the best quality. She had rented special furniture for today alone. Not only that, Elena had also paid a barista to brew premium luwak coffee for the young master to impress him. Word on
'Come, come, come out quickly. Show yourself, Young Master,' Elena's inner self couldn't stop talking. She even clenched her fists in excitement waiting for a figure to come out from inside the Lamborghini Egoista."Finally," Elena hissed when she saw someone from inside the car lower his leg.It turned out to be the legs of a man wearing long pants and loafers.Noting the model and brand of shoes the figure was wearing, Elena smiled broadly. These were definitely not just any shoes that could be obtained by paying a low price.Elena knew that the man was wearing limited edition branded shoes of number one quality. If Elena's memory was correct, there were only seven pairs of such shoes in the world. So, there was no way those shoes could be owned by a middle-class person, even a man from the upper class might not be able to get them."I believe, he is indeed Young Master Roodenburg." Elena made the guards beside her turn their heads several times towards her.The guards still did not
With quickened and lengthened steps, Elena entered the main door of the college auditorium. Her chest wanted to burst with anger.'Damn it! That loser is such an asshole! How dare he go this far? I didn't expect Jack to do something like this. He ruined everything. He's such a devil!' There were many expletives in her head directed at Jack.So, when the woman got closer to the row of invitation chairs, her eyes searched the back area to find Jack's figure. She knitted her eyebrows together to make her vision sharper. The auditorium was very large. Elena had to be more careful to find what she was looking for.At that moment, the chancellor of the college was delivering his speech. Obviously, Elena was swearing incessantly because she should be sitting quietly and proudly right now. The college rector would surely praise her for organizing the event so well, for entertaining the special guests so satisfactorily, and for being the person most responsible for such an important and histor
Jack frowned as he looked behind Matthew. His eyes caught the woman Matthew was talking about."How about you ask Elena directly?" Jack waved his hand. "Hello, Elena!"Claire looked at her boyfriend intently with both eyes wide open. An expression of astonishment was clearly visible on her face.How could Jack greet an annoying woman so kindly?Meanwhile, although Jack didn't look angry or annoyed, Elena's face suddenly became as pale as paper, as if she had just seen the creepiest ghost. Not only that, Elena's heart was beating so fast that her chest trembled.Elena stood still with a complicated facial expression. She didn't know what to do or say when Matthew turned around and looked at her.The spacious auditorium filled with many people felt so cramped and silent, as if it was a vacuum that made it difficult for her to breathe."Miss Stuart, what a coincidence that you are here. I would like to ask first, the exclusive room you spoke of for Young Master Roodenburg, is it reserved
Matthew was wide-eyed at Claire's statement. She gave Elena a sharp look, making her even more frightened."Mr. Matthew, we're standing here because Elena won't let us sit down. Professor Jim, Jack's lecturer, has agreed to ask the equipment department to get chairs for us, but Elena forbade it on the grounds that it violates procedure. I don't know which procedure she's referring to, maybe the procedure of embarrassing people! She's so talented at it!" Claire vented her anger.She had tried hard to be quiet, even very quiet, unlike her usual self who never stopped talking."You know Mr. Matthew, this woman has insulted Jack with very harsh words. If Jack hadn't warned me to control myself since yesterday, I would have slapped Elena hard across the face." Claire raised her right hand. She had scared Elena!But that wasn't enough, Claire continued, "I'm also thinking of punching her bloody lips to make her stop talking. Then, I would pull her hair out of her head. Seriously, I thought
Elena knew that she had no chance to defend herself. The wrong she had done was too obvious, and it was unfortunate that Jack, as Young Master Roodenburg, was both the victim and the main witness.So how could she evade or make excuses to make her not look like a bad woman?Elena lowered her gaze, staring at Jack's hand. Exactly, she thought of apologizing by holding that hand, kissing it like a holy hand."Young master, please forgive me. I know the wrong I have done is very, very great, and perhaps unforgivable. My behavior has gone too far. I have done terrible things to you, even though you have always been kind to me. Young Master is indeed a very kind person. You have the heart of an angel. As for me, I am very bad, even worse than the devil."Elena deliberately praised Jack while humbling herself. She hoped to flatter Jack, so that he would forgive her mistakes. She babbled on and on, revealing the good things Jack did, then revealing the bad things Elena did without any regard
Jack was indeed upset about Elena's attitude towards him. However, he was also angry when he found out that Elena had also been insolent to the lecturer he respected so much.Offending the young master was already a big mistake, let alone making him angry.Although Professor Jim didn't think much of Elena's behavior, Jack still couldn't forget it."You must admit all your mistakes and apologize publicly to Professor Jim. Only then will I forgive you." Jack emphasized. This time his facial expression was cold, with no smile at all.Claire smiled with satisfaction at Jack's request. The punishment was well worth it.'Feel it! What are you going to do now? I'm sure you won't swallow back the words that have come out of your mouth. And that means, you can't save your pride anymore!' Claire thought as she took Jack's arm and rested her head on his shoulder.Like Claire, Matthew also felt happy and relieved. Although he didn't know what happened before, admitting mistakes and apologizing in
The University of Carnaby officials, lecturers, and staff stood up, as if to confirm that the man walking in front of Matthew Devall was indeed Jack Marshall.Then, one of the lecturers who had his own sentiments towards the poor students, and Jack was no exception, asked sarcastically, "Perhaps Jack met with Young Master Roodenburg in an exclusive room, and said something that offended him, so he didn't want to come up to the podium to deliver the speech? Yes, that makes more sense! He must have done it on purpose so that he could be the guest who had the honor of addressing the graduates."Professor Jim reflexively shook his head. "That's impossible, Mrs. Sarah. I know for a fact that Jack is not that kind of person.""Professor, maybe the old Jack Marshall wasn't, but time has passed, and anyone can change. Now tell me, have you told Jack that there is only one person who will make a speech at the podium other than the chancellor?""Yes, I told him. And Jack didn't mind at all.""B
