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
“Oh, you’re more important to the school than the 100-million-dollar donation. “Even a billion-dollar donation doesn’t matter more than you,” Connor said uprightly while playing the whole thing off with a laugh. It did not occur to him that Mandy would seek help from the Sunrise Lees. Hence, he swallowed his pride and took the humiliation. After the call from Frederick, Connor agreed to let Mandy remain at South River University right away. The 100 million dollars was already in his bank account, and Connor had no intentions of returning the money. He had learned whatever he needed to know about Kaze. The Sunrise Lees disowned him, he took his wife’s last name, and earned a few quick bucks by chance. Connor saw no repercussions in defying him. With Connor saying good things on the other end, Mandy kept a smirk on her face. Connor no longer meant anything to her anymore. However, Mandy had no plans to cut ties with him just yet. Mandy said with a smile, “Alright. I’ll
Rose threw herself into Darcy’s arms and wailed. South River University had always been her dream school. To obtain the guaranteed admission spot at the School of Arts, Rose put in a lot of hard work. Now, she lost the right for admission. She lost it. Failed?The sudden change threw everybody off. “That’s impossible. How could you fail? I’m sure there’s some sort of mistake,” Agatha cried with an ashen look while scrolling through the name list displayed. Rose was on the list with several others, and all of them passed the observation review except for Rose. “Oh, my God. Rose is an amazing candidate. Why did they fail her?” Feeling faint, Agatha cocked her head and yelled angrily, “Are you sure everything went well, Kaze? What’s with this?” Kaze frowned and said, “South River University must have made a mistake.” Mandy was fired, so it made no sense something would go wrong. With the family getting on Kaze’s case, Darcy said, “Let’s not get ahead of ourselves.
