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

The jaws of Mrs. Sarah and the others, who had known Jack for a long time, opened wide enough for a goose egg to enter. They were so shocked that they felt like they had been electrocuted.Meanwhile, as Jack walked to the podium, the invited guests cheered loudly. They felt very lucky to be the 'first' to know what the idolized Young Master Roodenburg looked like."He's so handsome, more handsome than I imagined," commented one woman. It seemed like a familiar comment.Another invited guest also praised, "Being a tycoon with endless wealth, with a heart of gold, with a dazzlingly handsome face, with a tall and well-built body, what better word to describe Young Master than perfect?""Look at his gaze, so calm and soothing. Looking at Young Master makes my heart feel calm. I forgot about my anxiety for the job interview tomorrow."And there were many more compliments from people.However, unlike the graduates and invited guests who continued to praise Jack, the campus council, lecturer

"Sorry, Young Master."The Chancellor doubted his own hearing. He was worried that what he heard was not true. Therefore, he chose to ask back what Jack had just said.Jack chuckled. He said, "How should I say it?" He seemed to be thinking. Then Jack explained, "Um... Actually, me, my fiancé, and Matthew didn't get a seat. That's why we're standing at the back. There are no seats for us."The chancellor's face turned as pale as paper. He looked back for a moment to see the faces of the campus council.Of course everyone looked unhappy. This was such a shameful thing!The Young Master who donated the opportunity for University of Carnaby graduates to work at his company, was willing to recommend 20 top students for the best jobs, and had given 200 million dollars in cash to the college, was denied any facilities from the committee, not even a seat?Even the word shame would not be enough to represent the shame they bear!But this happened outside their knowledge. The college officials

Elena's legs were shaking violently. It was very difficult for her to walk to the call of the MC. Hence, she still hadn't moved from her spot.People started whispering, including those in the front row, the campus council and the rector, who had been looking for Elena in the auditorium since earlier. They wanted to question her performance. What had she done to not give Young Master Roodenburg a proper seat, until he asked for it himself."Miss Stuart, we cordially invite you to come up to the podium." The MC called out again. He must have known who it was, one of the most annoying lecturers who often spoke rudely to students, except those from wealthy families.The MC didn't know what Elena really wanted to say in front of everyone. Clearly, it would be a sickening session if Elena started praising herself. In the MC's view, listening to the rector's speech was still better. The young man wanted to skip this session because the woman who was called did not come to the podium. Howeve
