Reign of the Heir Chapter 185
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
Reign of the Heir Chapter 188
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

Seeing Elena like this, MC could no longer bear to wait. He took the initiative by approaching Elena."Let me help you, Miss Stuart." The MC held out his hand, as if Elena couldn't get on stage herself.To be honest, the young man wanted to go over to Elena and pull her to the podium sooner. However, he refrained because he was still trying to honor Elena.'Damn it! Does this young man think I'm old! Watch out, I won't let you go later. You poor student!'Although Elena spoke very harshly in her heart, all she showed was a smile. She wouldn't yell at the young man in front of her while Young Master Roodenburg was there. She didn't want Jack to think that she didn't regret her bad behavior and still acted like that when dealing with others.Elena wanted to convince Jack that she had changed for the better. Thus she still has hope that Jack will be willing to help her.That is, if after she made a confession and apologized to Professor Jim, the campus council and the rector became unhap

Exactly, the voice of the woman shouting encouragement was indeed not Mrs. Sarah anymore, but the voice of Young Master Roodenburg's fiancée, Claire Boutcher. She made Jack tiptoe a little in surprise, as the shouting sounded sudden. Meanwhile, Matthew, who was also sitting not far from her, now covered his mouth with his hand.'Miss Claire is indeed unique,' he praised to himself.Of course, what Claire said made people wide-eyed."Admitting a mistake? So, Miss Stuart didn't come on stage to give a motivational speech or an activity report? She's there to admit a mistake?" said one of the graduates. Although he said it in an ordinary voice, it was enough to be heard by the ears of many people because the place was very quiet.A young man replied, "I'm afraid this event will continue for a week." His face became very sour."Why do you think that?" His mother asked."Because Miss Stuart has so many faults, Mama. Of all the students she has taught, I'm sure many of them have been hurt b

Elena's tears flowed even harder. She sobbed on the podium, in front of everyone. There was no pride left in her. She looked so pathetic.The worst thing was that no one in the audience felt her sadness. No one felt sorry or concerned about what had happened to Elena, not even Mrs. Sarah.Mrs. Sarah was fully aware that she too had made a mistake by defending the wrong person. She certainly didn't want people to look down on her for being Elena's friend and supporter.Elena's mistake was too big to forget. The faculty and staff would definitely talk about it in the future. Even if Young Master apologized to Elena, it would only add to Young Master's positive image, and would not change people's poor view of Elena. And Mrs. Sarah didn't want her name associated with Elena Stuart anymore."I am truly sorry." Elena took out her handkerchief to wipe her face. She took a deep breath to calm down. She briefly turned her head to look at Mrs. Sarah, but her close friend hurriedly looked away.

"The campus council and I have discussed this matter. However, your mistake cannot be overlooked. As for Young Master Roodenburg and Professor Jim apologizing to you, it was out of the goodness of their hearts."Truly, what the Rector said sounded bad. Elena's feelings became uncomfortable, it seemed like something bad was about to happen, again.In a stammering voice Elena asked again, "What do you mean, sir?" Elena grimaced wryly."Miss Stuart, as of today, you are dismissed from the University of Carnaby. Please pack your belongings and leave this campus immediately." The rector spoke in a firm and merciless voice.Claire covered her mouth with her hand. Her eyes widened in shock. Although she had expected this to happen as a form of strict punishment against Elena, she did not expect the dismissal to be carried out on stage. Claire thought that if the college fired Elena, they would ask Elena to meet them in a certain room.'Th-this...' Claire had no words to comment anymore."N-n
