After that incident, Franklin was called into an office by a few of the school directors and administrators while his friends, Caleb and Sasha waited outside.One of the administrators, Ms. Arabella Thornfield, began. "Franklin, we need to talk about what just happened. Can you tell us your side of the story?"Franklin nodded. "Yes, ma'am. For the record, I did not cheat or engage in any examination malpractice as Casey Ford has alleged. And Daisy Bernard is lying. She cheated on me first, and I only locked our joint account to cut ties with her. I didn't even know there was any money in it."Mr. Percival, another administrator, leaned forward. "But why would Casey Ford say these things about you? Do you have any idea?"Franklin sighed. "Casey is upset because I refuse an agreement with her. She wants to get back at me. I know it sounds crazy, but that's the truth."Ms. Lydia crossed her arms and scoffed. "Franklin, your background is not wealthy. Itâs hard for some to believe you man
Mr. Gerald was in his office, he had less than twelve hours to manipulate Franklinâs results. There were piles of papers in front of him, along with Franklin's exam results and some blank sheets.First, Mr. Gerald carefully reviewed Franklin's original exam papers. He saw that Franklin's answers were correct and well-written. "He's too smart for his own good," Mr. Gerald muttered to himself.He then picked up a stamp and started marking âcanceledâ on Franklin's answers wrong. He crossed out the correct answers.Next, Mr. Gerald printed out a fake answer sheet. He copied Franklin's handwriting as best as he could, making sure the fake answers looked convincing. He filled in wrong answers and left some questions blank.Once he was done with the fake answer sheet, Mr. Gerald placed it in Franklin's exam folder. He made sure everything looked neat and organized so that no one would suspect a thing. He then took the original answer sheet and put it in a drawer, locking it securely.Mr. Ger
After finishing the phone call with Conor, Franklin went to meet with his friends. He had promised to take them to the most expensive restaurant on campus.He remembered when he used to date Daisy and didn't have money to take her out. Franklin loved Daisy a lot back then, and thatâs why he always treated her with respect even though they never did anything inappropriate.Thinking about Daisy made Franklin feel sad. He wondered if Daisy would want to be with him again now that he was rich. He remembered all the times they held hands while walking in the library, and other places they went together.Just then, Franklin heard a familiar voice call out his name. âFranklin!â He turned around and saw Daisy, Emily and Jessica standing near the entrance of the big restaurant. Tom, and others were also there but not Richmond.Before he could say anything, Emily stepped forward. âWell, well, if it isnât the thief and cheater. What are you doing here, Franklin?âFranklin opened his mouth to res
Back to Casey Ford and Richmond in a corner of the school campus.Richmond took a step closer, lowering his voice as he spoke. âYou know, I can see youâre so upset with Franklin. But you should know that I'm angry with him too. The money he took from Daisy wasnât his to take. It was mine,â he explained, trying to gauge her reaction.Casey raised an eyebrow. âAnd why should I care about your money, Richmond?âRichmond chuckled softly. âMaybe you shouldnât. But Iâm just trying to understand why someone like you would go to such lengths to get back at him. What did that bastard do to you?âCaseyâs expression hardened again. âLike I said, I donât have to explain myself to you. My reasons are my own.âRichmond took a deep breath, deciding to change his approach. âAlright, Casey. I wonât press you on that. But letâs talk about something else. Iâve been watching you for a while, and I must say, youâre quite impressive and gorgeous.âCasey looked at him skeptically. âIs that so?ââYes,â Richm
Franklin has had enough of Daisy and her friends' negative comments, so he decided to take his friends into the Bellagio restaurant. Afterall, that was the main reason they came here in the first place to have a good time and not to exchange words with some minions.As Franklin and his friends approached the grand entrance of the luxurious Bellagio restaurant, Daisy and her friends burst out laughing. "Hey, look at them trying to get into a place like this! Do they think they're rich or something?" one of them jeered."Yeah, I mean, come on, Franklin, you're not exactly swimming in cash," Tom sneered. "What are you doing here, trying to impress us with your fake wealth?"Franklin smiled calmly. "Tom, you'd be surprised what I can afford. And as for impressing you, I don't need to try. My presence here speaks for itself."Daisy and the girls chimed in, giggling and making snide comments. "Yeah, right, Franklin, you're probably going to get kicked out before you even make it past the lo
Franklin, Caleb, and Sasha were still enjoying their Italian dishes and the bottle of fine wine. Across the room, Daisy, Emily, Jessica, and Tom were having a good time as well, albeit with a bit more worry about Richmond's delay.Just as they finished their meals, the waiter approached Daisy's table with the bill. "Good evening, ladies and gentleman. Here's your check."Daisy glanced at the bill and frowned. "My boyfriend will be here any minute to pay," she said dismissively.Emily, Jessica, and Tom exchanged nervous glances. Emily whispered, "Daisy, are you sure Richmond is coming? It's been a while."Jessica added, "Yeah, what if he got caught up with something and can't make it. Just as you said earlier."Tom, trying to keep his cool, said, "Don't worry, girls. I'm sure he's on his way."The waiter cleared his throat, looking unimpressed. "Ma'am, we do need to settle the bill now. It's our policy."Daisy rolled her eyes. "Do you know who my boyfriend is? He's Richmond Wright, and
Richmond Wright left the college party after he had met Casey Ford. She was very pretty, rich and independent, the kind of woman he wanted. Richmond already likes her a lot because he thought she was an amazing person and he intends to be around her all the time.But then he remembered that he was in a relationship with Daisy Bernard. He didn't really like Daisy, but she was pretty too. He was only with her because of her looks. He didn't care about her feelings. He only cared about how she looked.But now, he doesn't need Daisy anymore. He had already gotten what he wanted from her over and over again. He wanted to be with Casey now. She was more important to him. Her family was very rich and powerful.Richmond's family is now having some business problems. They needed help. Casey's family could help him. So Richmond is planning to be in a lovely relationship with Casey. He wanted to use her to help his family.Richmond didn't care if Daisy would be sad. He didn't care if she would b
Franklin, Caleb, and Sasha watched as Casey Ford and her rich friends walked confidently towards their table. The atmosphere seemed to shift as the group made their way through the restaurant, drawing the attention of other diners.Franklin straightened up. "Well, here we go."Casey arrived at their table with her friends. "Franklin," she said smoothly. "Mind if we join you?"Caleb raised an eyebrow but stayed silent. Sasha, always the sociable one, smiled tightly. "Sure, have a seat."Casey and her friends settled in, the table suddenly feeling much more crowded."So, how have you been?" Casey asked, directing her question to Franklin but glancing at Caleb and Sasha as well.Franklin shrugged. "Can't complain. Just enjoying a good meal with friends. What brings you here?"Casey laughed lightly, a hint of condescension in her voice. "Oh, you know how it is. Just out with friends, enjoying the party. We thought we'd stop by and see how the other half lives."Sasha leaned in and asked.
