“I don’t.” Mandy nodded and glanced at her phone before asking, “I heard that the Sunrise Lees disowned you.” Kaze frowned but nodded. “That’s right.” “You ended up in Lilyrose and married into the Quint family?” “That’s right.” “The Sunrise Lees practice strict traditions. It’s said that you were kicked out because you committed an offense. “You mooched off your wife, and when you started to build power and riches, you delivered a gravestone to the Lees, demanding they apologize on their knees in Lilyrose even though they raised you.“A shameless and ungrateful man like you do not deserve our time. “South River University strives on its strict values. We don’t just accept any students. Given your situation, I think it is necessary for the school to reconsider whether to accept Rose as a student.” The harsh criticism came out of Mandy’s mouth. In the end, Mandy launched a personal attack on Kaze. Even the nearby bootlickers thought Mandy had gone overboard. They wo
“Besides, didn’t I prove that already?” Kaze looked at Mandy with a smile. His composure got on Mandy’s last nerves. With nothing getting through to Kaze, Mandy felt like her attacks were going nowhere. “Keep up with the act, Lee.“Either way, you can’t hide your insecurities. “You have money, but money can’t buy education, at least not to us. You can’t win us with your money. “You must be dreaming to think you can interfere in South River University’s affairs.” Mandy sneered and waved at one of the bootlickers. “Go and get a basin of water from the hotel staff.” The bootlicker was stunned. Though confused, the bootlicker went to fetch a basin of water. Mandy returned to the couch and removed her stilettos. The bootlickers stared at her feet fervently. The basin was to wash Mandy’s feet. “Should I help you, Ms. Yipz?” Mandy ignored him and smirked at Kaze. “Scared now, Lee?“If you want me to spare Rose, get your ass over here and give me a foot rub. You c
The group ran their mouths and instigated Mandy. Mandy waved her arm with a grimace. “I have more important things to deal with than Lee. Once this is over, I’ll get even with him.” She then left Dynasty Hotel. Mandy arrived at the mayor’s office. The business trip was not to observe students to offer them pre-admission spots. Mandy’s priority was to build a bridge with the mayor’s office. It was no secret that the mayor’s office in Lilyrose announced the development of a new city. The dean of the South River University’s School of Arts, Connor Lewis, had his eye on the project. He intended to set up a campus in Lilyrose New City. Since South River University placed in the top ten, many students would beg their families to get into the local campuses. However, Connor’s plan was just to use the South River University’s School of Arts’ name. The campus would recruit any students who could afford the tuition fees. In other words, it was a profitable project. The appe
Mandy had to go through Caleb for him to evaluate if the project was worth Kaze’s time. However, Mandy was not having it. She said indifferently, “Deputy Mayor Leed, I think you should inform the mayor right away. “I represent Mr. Connor Lewis from the South River University’s School of Arts. Mr. Lewis intends to set up a campus in Lilyrose New City. “South River University ranks in the top ten in Arcadia. There’s no doubt the school holds prestige. We have received invitations to start campuses in many cities. “The establishment of the campus would add value to the neighborhood. The price of the land and properties would only go up. “I believe the mayor wouldn’t pass up on the opportunity to develop his city.” Mandy talked confidently. It was profitable to have a campus of South River University anywhere. The campus was an appeal to Lilyrose and the city council. Caleb nodded and said, “Can I have your business card, Ms. Yipz? I’ll report back to the mayor.” Mand
Mandy sneered. She wanted Kaze to lose hope and dwell in despair. Mandy’s yelling startled the staff at the mayor’s office. Caleb rushed over upon receiving the word and grimaced at Mandy’s sarcastic remarks. He was about to say something when Kaze turned to him and asked with a fake smile, “This woman said she has met with the mayor and hit it off? Why didn’t I know about it?” “Um…” Caleb scowled at Mandy, who looked embarrassed, and said, “She left her business card, talking about South River University’s intention to build a campus in Lilyrose New City.” “Setting up a campus is a good thing.” Kaze nodded. Lilyrose needed the influx of good schools, and it was something worth considering. Mandy felt awkward to be exposed, but she quickly mocked, “Know your place, Lee. “It’s true that South River University would be good for the city’s economy, but this has nothing to do with you. “I hope you’re not thinking about getting a piece of the pie. I doubt Shangrila G
What? Hand over her task? Mandy froze with a scowl. She did not understand where Connor was coming from. He was casting her aside. “What’s going on, Mr. Lewis? Everything was fine. Why am I handing over my task?” Mandy panicked. Connor replied indifferently, “Setting up a campus in Lilyrose is important. You worked as a reporter at Sunrise News, so you don’t have the experience to carry out the task. “I’ve decided to let someone else take over. That’s all I have to say.” Connor then hung up, leaving Mandy’s blood running cold. That was not what Connor said when he sent her to Lilyrose. He said she had the charm to deal with men. Connor believed only Mandy could convince the mayor to give the green light to build the campus. Yet, Connor denied all that. “Why? How did that happen?” Mandy stood there in a daze. “Maybe because I donated 100 million dollars to South River University,” Kaze said with a fake smile. “You?” Mandy cocked her head back in disbeli
“Sure, Mr. Lee. Your participation will guarantee results,” Caleb said excitedly. There were too many eyes on Lilyrose New City. Even the four top families in Geranium City came early to set up shop.The neighboring powerful and rich families were tempted to dip their fingers. Behind these good schools lurked multiple, different entities. Caleb was afraid he could not hold the ground on his own. Even Mandy, a head of admission for South River University, turned her nose up at him. It would be a different story if Kaze were involved, though. As time had proven, anybody starting up issues would pay dearly. With Kaze in charge, no one would dare to mess around in Lilyrose. Soon, Caleb had several meetings with his team at the mayor’s office and determined a plan before making a public announcement. Lilyrose New City welcomed good schools from in and outside the state. The establishment of campuses in Lilyrose would be met with incentive policies. The well-established sc
“Just be straight with me. “I’ll help you if it means getting Kaze permanently out of the picture,” Cosmo said indifferently, brushing off Mandy’s flirting. Cosmo had been involved with too many women that he was immune to Mandy’s coyness. Cutting to the chase, Mandy said, “Kaze knows I have dirt on him, so he donated 100 million dollars to South River University to fire me. “You must help me, Mr. Cosmo. I want to make sure his wife’s cousin doesn’t get enrolled in South River University. “It’s not a big deal, but it will cause problems in the home. Heck, his wife might even divorce him.” Mandy’s voice was tainted with bitterness. Her mind was filled with nothing but getting even with Kaze. “You have a point.” Cosmo said, “You know what? Frederick Yale, a teaching faculty member at South River University is one of my people. I’ll get him to give you your job back at South River University. “Lilyrose is appealing to good schools to set up campuses there right now. My
