..‘Bastards’Landon just cursed inwardly when he read the text left in their group chats by their class representative.“How can those bastards take you out of the school scholarship program?” Jude complained. “What misconduct are they talking about for them to take you out of the scholarship program?”“This is unfair. What could Landon have done to get such a treatment from them?”“This is ridiculous. Landon you have to make a complaint to the dean.”Jude and the rest of Landon’s dorm mates complained about the sudden unfairness that had just happened to Landon so they felt there’s been a kind of mistake somewhere and Landon had to look into it. “There’s no need,” Landon said nonchalantly.“Huh? What do you mean bro? You’ve been getting support from the scholarship you won since. You can’t just let this slide? There has to be a mistake somewhere.”“Well I understand what you all are saying but I think it will be easier if I just make payment for my school fees by myself.”“You wan
..“I thought you said he was poor?” Gerald said with a frown.“He is. He shouldn’t be able to afford twenty thousand dollars. He’s just a poor orphan.” Mr. Collins was dumbfounded.Mr. Collins expected Landon to come to him when Landon found out he had been taken out of their school scholarship program and when that happened he planned to blackmail Landon to not press charges on Xander Taylor anymore. However, who would’ve known Landon would pay his fees so easily?Ring!Just then Gerald’s phone rang. Gerald brought out his phone and answered the call.“Okay, okay. Good job.” After a few words the call ended.“My sources just spotted the young man coming out of a bank. Mr. Collins I have tried your way. I believe it’s better I do things my way now and I’m done playing nice.” Gerald said coldly as he got up and left Mr. Collins's office.Mr. Collins was curious about how Xander’s father wanted to tackle this matter and he was sure that, Xander did not have anything good planned for L
..The girl's dormitory.“How is that loser driving the Lamborghini Sesto?!” Joan complained.“I still don’t know what to think. I’m as shocked as you.” Ruth said with a puzzled look.They were all still trying to figure out what had happened when they ran into Landon yesterday. Landon drove the infamous Lamborghini Sesto away. How did that happen?Joan was the one who felt uncomfortable about it the most. Yesterday she felt on top of the world to be driving a very luxurious car, however, Landon had ended up ruining her mood yesterday. Joan knew that even if her car was expensive there were still people with better cars than hers. But why is it that Landon of all was the one who gave her a huge slap on the face?“What are you all talking about?” Elena asked with curiosity.“We saw Landon drive the famous Lamborghini Sesto parked in our school parking lot.” Said Ruth.“That’s a lie.” Elena chose not to believe it.She did not see the Lamborghini car personally but the car was posted o
..“Huh? You are getting married?” Landon asked once more after hearing Kara’s words.“Yeah, actually no I don’t want to get married, my parents are the ones forcing me to get married, and I feel very guilty that I don’t want to get married,” Kara replied.Landon was shocked. He had just helped Jasmine with a situation like this. He did not expect Kara to be suffering a similar situation like this.“Why do you feel guilty? If you are not interested in marrying who your parents want you to marry why don’t you just say it?”“I have said it but the problem is my mom and dad say I have to marry him and they’ve made me see reasons. It is because of this reason I feel guilty about not wanting to marry the person who’s asking for my hand in marriage.”Landon probed seriously. “And what is this important reason that’s causing your parents to not listen to what you want?”“The person asking for my hand in marriage is the son of my dad’s employer. At first, my dad’s employer’s son approached m
..Tricia could not believe what she had just seen. She was in so much shock that her feet lost power, causing her to fall flat on her ass.“Tricia, are you okay?” Asked Ruth.“T-That was his car?…it’s his car,” Tricia said with an expression of despair.“Don’t tell me you are like this because of Landon? We still don’t know if it is his car yet.” Ruth said still refusing to believe it.This was the second time they were seeing Landon with the famous Lamborghini Sesto in their school. They all did not know what was going on but the fact is Landon had come to pick Kara up with the Lamborghini Sesto.“Do guys know the owner of the cars?” One of the girls gawking at the car moved towards them.Seeing Kara enter the car, they all thought that Kara’s friends might have an idea of who this mysterious rich man was.However, Joan just hissed and walked back into their dormitory.The rest of the girls helped Tricia get up and followed suit as well. Just the thought of Landon being a mysteriou
..“Mr. Lee. Happy Birthday to you.” Alex said with a smug on his face.“Thank you, Alex. How about your father?” Jiehong, Kara’s father asked.“I’m sorry Mr. Lee but my father can’t make it today. He has to tackle some business so he said I should apologize on his behalf. As you can see that’s why I came with two gifts. One is from him.” Alex smiled.Jiehong made a forced smile. “It’s okay, come in Alex. We were just about to enter the stage for gift distribution so you are at the right time.”Jiehong respectfully guided Alex to a well-decorated area to sit.Seeing this, Landon could tell that this young man was getting a lot of credit that he did not deserve because of his father.Alex scanned around the hall before he saw Kara. However, Kara looked away when her eyes met his.Alex smiled when he spotted Kara. “Mr. Lee I must say your daughter is looking very beautiful today. I would love it if she sat with me since she will be my future wife soon.”Upon hearing Alex’s words, Jieho
..Alex laughed at this point. “Did I just hear you right? You want me to apologize to Mr. Lee?”“Do you have something in your ears? Of course, that’s what I said.” Landon retorted arrogantly.“You will be sorry very soon for your arrogant attitude but to tell you the truth, Mr. Lee feels very happy that I am going after his daughter. I mean I and Kara get married he will be an in-law to the Armstrong family. Only this will cause his reputation in any field to soar into new heights.” Alex said proudly.“But Kara is not interested in marrying you. If your family is as big as you say it is, you would have respected her decision and moved on. Instead, you had to resort to a silly trick by having your father threaten to end Mr. Lee’s contract if Kara doesn’t get married to you. That doesn’t sound like what a family with so much abundance should be doing so since you and your family want to operate with a scarcity mindset I can help you all by providing a suitable environment of scarcity
..“What?!” Everyone gasped in shock when they heard Jiehong's words.“What did you just say?” Mikasa asked again, still doubting what she had just heard.“I just got promoted as the new minister of finance!” Jiehong replied with a smile once more.“Uncle?! This is no time to be joking. I can't believe you are joking right now?” Mengi said still in disbelief.“Mengi am I one to joke? I am now the new minister of finance.” Jiehong replied.Everyone could see the seriousness in his face but they still could not believe it.“B-But if you are now the new minister of finance what of Mr. Armstrong?” Mengi asked.Jiehong smiled at this point. “I was also told Mr. Armstrong was demoted from his position and he’s currently under investigation for fraud. In short, Mr. Armstrong now works for me.”“Really?!” Kara, Mikasa, and Mengi all exclaimed at the same time.In short, all the guests of the banquet were shocked to hear Jiehong's words. None of them believed him. Since most of the people pr
