Their perception of Ethan changed from a poor student who always made trouble to a rich student with the same status as the others. It made Ethan's heart happy; at least the next college life would be peaceful.

"Ethan?"

The man was startled by the quiet voice of someone behind his back, a female voice that sounded familiar to the young man's ears. Out of curiosity, the man slowly began to turn his head to look at her.

"Mia?" greeted Ethan, smiling.

"What are you doing here? Are you going to apply for the agreement again?" asked Mia, speaking sarcastically because she disliked Ethan's presence on this campus, just like David.

"No, I'm not. I just discussed my tuition payment with them," said Ethan, flat and simple as he pointed at the finance staff behind the payment desk barrier.

"HAHA! You know, they must be sick of you being here. I haven't even made a deal with them yet, considering my family is wealthy," Mia said, walking over while jostling Ethan's body to make him move away from the payment counter.

"Really? Is your family businessmen?" asked Ethan, curious.

"My father is a marketing director at the Jielwood Company, while my mother works for the city government. You don't need to think about it too much, and you won't be able to reach the highest point like my father," Mia snapped.

Her behavior was much different when talking to the campus finance staff. Mia's smile and friendliness. It was inversely proportional to what she showed when talking to Ethan, the person she hated.

"Look, I don't need to make a deal with them because I can easily pay them off, unlike you, poor guy!" Ethan insulted with a smirking smile and a sarcastic look.

"Alright, alright. I don't want to fight with you," Ethan said, leaving the place and returning to his car park.

Mia was still in front of the payment counter, waiting for the validation letter she would use to take the exam later. Not long after, the letter appeared given by the male staff who had previously served Ethan.

"Did that guy make another appointment?" asked Mia, curious.

"Oh, Ethan? He came to pay off all his arrears," said the man, smiling broadly in response to Mia's curious question.

"What? Pay off the arrears?" asked Mia, widening her eyes.

"Yes. His arrears totaled $175,000. He paid it off in person today," replied the man.

"WHAT?! Where did he get that much money from?" Mia asked.

Mia's eyes were wide open, her feet stepping backward as her mind raced to think of the exact possibilities of Ethan's money. She didn't think Ethan could pay off his arrears before Mia thought that Ethan would be expelled if he couldn't pay off his tuition fees this month.

"I don't know. We asked him, but he didn't answer our questions," the man said. Mia nodded and walked away from the payment counter.

The news that Ethan had managed to pay off his tuition arrears was big information for Mia. She had to tell the others about this news, and they all had to interrogate Ethan and make him spend all the money he had on them.

Mia told them through the group chat communication on their phones, Ethan wasn't included because they didn't want him to join. Comments ranged from laughing to sending stickers or gifs to actually believing.

"We'll ask him tomorrow. I hope it's true so I can have fun with his money," David said on the group chat page.

Ethan, who was already in the parking lot, pressed the automatic key in his car key. All eyes suddenly focused on Ethan, who was seen walking towards the white car.

Instantly many women tried to approach Ethan, trying to ask about the truth of the owner of the white car. Ethan, who was initially about to get in, suddenly stopped seeing their arrival.

"Is that your white car?" asked one of the girls. There were three of them.

"Yes. Why?" asked Ethan flatly.

"Wow! May I make acquaintance with you?" asked the girl, looking enthusiastic as she stuck out her right hand.

Not only her but the two women to her right and left were the same. They wanted to get to know Ethan, who they thought had changed from poor to rich.

But Ethan was not that easy to get acquainted with, especially with strangers who did so after seeing his wealth. Ethan smiled broadly and refused their request. He had no intention of getting acquainted with them.

"Sorry, I don't have time for that," Ethan said, opening the door of his white car.

Ethan sighed as he started his white car, unlike the three women outside his car who insisted on getting acquainted with him. Ethan was even surprised to see a woman who showed her two breasts to Ethan's windshield.

"Are those nuts?!" Ethan snapped.

The man immediately backed up his car and left the campus parking lot, his heart still pounding. It was the first time he had seen something like that, especially when it was shown to him by a stranger.

Ethan continued to focus his eyes on the road ahead. When he stopped at a red light intersection in the city center, his eyes were drawn to a woman having an affectionate conversation with a man.

He returned his attention to the woman's face; she turned out to be Katherine. The woman looked so sexy with long hair. Katherine showed her intimacy in a convertible car.

Ethan was originally about to greet the woman, but his intention dropped when Katherine became more intimate with the man. Ethan noticed the man. He looked different from the man who came out of Katherine's room the other day.

The red light turned green, and all vehicles began to drive. Ethan went north, while Katherine and her mate chose to go south. According to Ethan, Katherine seemed to be going home tonight or tomorrow morning after seeing her intimacy with the man.

Ethan's destination this time was not to return to Kingsley's residence, but rather he planned to go to one of Kingsley's companies, KG Entertainment. The reason he was going there was to find out the cause of the company's losses.

The location was not far from the city center, in a five-story building with a sign that read KG Entertainment clearly displayed in front of the building. Several people were seen passing in and out of the building.

The arrival of a white sedan car in front of the building made people curious, including those in the office. Ethan came out wearing a blue cardigan that matched his shirt and the glasses on his face.

Ethan walked in with the attention of many people, and one of the women employees walked up to the young man. She asked about Ethan's identity and the reason for the man's visit to KG Entertainment.

"Is there anything I can do for you?" the woman asked, smiling kindly.

"Course. I want to take a look around the company," said Ethan, taking in his surroundings.

"Look around?" the woman asked again, confused.

"Now tell me, what KG Entertainment actually does?"

    The receptionist who greeted Ethan was confused by the man's purpose. She didn't answer Ethan's question and instead called her friends, naturally asking them to help her answer Ethan's question. "KG Entertainment is a company engaged in the music, esports, and movie industries. What exactly are you looking for here? Do you have any friends who work here or what?" asked the receptionist, beginning to grow suspicious of Ethan's demeanor, different from the previous guests who had come here. "Is that so, huh? Can you show me?" asked Ethan, looking into the eyes of the woman standing before him. She seemed to be talking to her partner again, a scared and strange expression on her face. One of the employees was seen walking out of the reception desk to go to the security guard at the entrance. The woman said that Ethan was suspicious, so she asked the security guards to secure the man. In the end, two security guards did what the woman wanted. "Sir. I ask you to come with us," said o

She could tell because the table marked the loss section with a red block. "Can you explain the reason for the losses incurred during the first quarter?" Hannah asked. The woman put the financial report on the table, telling the finance director's man to take a look on his own. The man started to get up and picked up the report, his eyes able to see the losses. "We could not avoid the loss in the first quarter. Several things contributed to the loss, including decreased passenger interest in Kingsley Airlines," the man said. "There are many new competitors in the aviation sector that have sprung up. The meeting below is also intended to
