“Oh!” Edward swallowed the lump in his throat when he noticed the coldness and fierceness in Smith's voice. “But that isn't the reason why I called you, sir,” he muttered and said in a low tone so he wouldn't offend Smith, who wasn't in a good mood. “Then why did you call me if that's not the reason?” Smith asked in a cold tone and Edward kept quiet. He didn't know what to say for a moment. He couldn't help but wonder how Smith was able to find out what was happening privately inside the Rodriquez's family despite not being around. “I haven't seen you for a while so I decided to check up on you,” Edward said and he chuckled coldly. “Check up on me? For what? You'd better state the reason why you called me before I hang up on the call and block you,” he said coldly and Edward took a deep breath. Edward was speechless and unaware of what to say. He didn't want to offend Smith but at the same time, he needed money desperately and Smith had withheld all his lifesaving and funds. He
The family members turned to Mr. Clifford since he was the head of the Clifford's family so he should be able to make the choice. “To avoid suspicion and gossip, I'd like to organize the wedding next month,” he cleared his throat and Madam Kate nodded her head in response. “That's a good date. You have a great taste, Mr. Clifford. I hope you won't go back on your words and have my daughter engaged to your son,” she said and he nodded his head in response. “I won't do such a thing because I respect you and the family. Am I not right?” He asked and turned to his wife, Mrs. Clifford, who nodded her head in response. “He's right. We're happy to have welcomed such a rare talent into our home. She came from a wealthy family. She's also a well-known model. What else could we ask for?” She asked and smiled. “That's right,” Madam Kate said and smiled then clapped her hands. Madam Kate frowned her face and turned to Georgia, who was sitting at a corner without paying much attention to the
What!A soft gasp left the young woman's left and she turned to her soon-to-be husband with a shock expression on her face. She couldn't help but stare at him with a suspicious gaze. The young man, on the other hand, Mr. Edward was silent for a while when he realized what he was about to spill. He'd almost spilled the beans of Smith's identity despite the warning he received. He couldn't forget how Smith warned him severely. How could he forget it? “What are you talking about? What do you know about Smith?” She asked curiously and he swallowed the lump in his throat. He stared at her for a while with an awe-stricken expression. He was silent for a while, unaware of what to say or do at the moment. He took a deep breath and concealed the fear that built up inside his heart as he thought of a way to evade her from knowing too much about her mysterious ex-husband.“Huh?” He asked and pretended as though he didn't hear what she was saying earlier. She frowned and arched her eyebrows
“Who are you?” Smith asked, disregarding the guy's question. Damon looked up with a cold look on his face when he noticed how cold and indifferent toward her. Of course, he felt his pride being crumbled by the newbie before him. Afterall, he was considered the top 1 genius among the students for the past 3 years he has been studying. He even won the golden medal for this school twice. Naturally, he was engraved when Smith didn't pay much attention to him and treated him as though he was nobody. Smith ignored the cold aura that was emitting from the round man before him and turned to him with an indifferent expression on his face. “That’s not the question I asked you but for your information, my name is Damon. And I'm the…” Smith interrupted him before he could complete his statement. “You don't need to tell me that you're the top 1 student in the institution. I know,” he said and Damon looked up angrily. Damon suppressed the anger in his heart and his lips pressed into a thin li
For the past few days, Smith has been studying and reading painstakingly. He barely took any break or even had time to review the countless applications and business proposals that were sent to the official email concerning the billion dollar worth deal.The only time he wasn't seen reading was at night in the end because even in the school room, he was always engrossed in reading. Somehow, Damon had a feeling that Smith could be a potential threat to him regarding the upcoming quiz competition that would be happening in three days' time. During that period, he couldn't do without crossing paths with Ava. Although she tried to get his attention and he was on good terms with him, he reminded that he never wanted to have anything to do with her. Of course, she was sad and heartbroken by his cold and indifferent attitude. She still had hope that he was going to change. If only she had an idea of what he was doing to do to her family. As for Ava, she had become more popular and gained
The student all stared at him with a perplexed expression on their faces. Their mouths widened in shock and a trace of disdain flashed between their eyes. The chancellor wasn't left out as he was also taken aback by Smith's resolution. He didn't take it twice. It was as though he was confident of winning. Even if he was confident, did he have the confidence? Even Linda, who was that guy that was supposed to lecture and ended up being stunned by his vast knowledge concerning business studies, couldn't help but blink her eyes. She was one of the top 10 students. She followed closely after Damon, who was the top 1. Although she knew how intelligent Smith was in the business world, she believed that it was impossible for him to win against Damon. But she couldn't help but feel powerless and speechless when she noticed how confident and indifferent Smith was. It seemed as though he had everything under his control. “Who did he think he is?”“Maybe you should ask him. Because he beca
Smith smiled coldly as he turned to Damon, who glared at him fiercely. He disregarded him and turned to the chancellor, who was smiling at him with a cold look on his face as if he could see the scene of Smitty, who had once made jest of him kowtowing toward Damon in the presence of the whole college in the next few days. Smith cleared his throat and spoke up with a cold look on his face. He then turned his gaze to the chancellor, who never liked him. “Now that Damon has spoken and agreed to the bet, I hope the chancellor would indeed bear witness to this be.”He emphasized on the word ‘indeed’ because he knew that the chancellor could go back on his words because Damon was their top 1 genius student and it would be embarrassing for Damon to kowtow toward him. “How dare you act so presumptuous before the chancellor?”“Do you think you'll even win the first position in the presence of Damon? Keep on dreaming.”“You'll regret your action.”The other top 10 students condemned him and h
Just when everyone was wondering what had happened, the robotic voice sounded and resounded heavily in the room, reverberating in everyone's ears in the large auditorium hall. “Correct!” Those were the exact words that the robotic voice said.Everyone in the room including Damon and the chancellor, Mr. Han, were shocked to the bone after they discovered that Smith got the answers correctly thereby surpassing Damon, who had surpassed him with more than 30 points earlier. What! Damon's face sank and a gloomy look appeared on his face when he realized what had happened. He thought and believed that Smith wasn't going to get the answer correctly and his marks would be deducted. But he didn't believe that Smith would get the final question correctly and surpassed him with 30 points. His heart shook uncontrollably as he noticed the cold and icy gaze that Smith shot at him earlier. It was at that moment he realized and remembered that he had a bet with Smith concerning winning the first
