Even Quincy never imagined that she would be the one getting punished, not Chelsey.The surveillance footage merely showed them colliding. It was difficult to determine who had done it on purpose.Refusing to accept the outcome, Quincy went to argue with Camila.Camila, who had a good relationship with Quincy, felt helpless, too. "The decision was made during a faculty meeting, and I don't know why it turned out like this. Don't worry, Quincy. Just keep doing your best. I'll push to get your disciplinary probation lifted."At that point, Quincy was already in tears. "Ms. Dalton, I've always been on my best behavior and never offended anyone. Why would Chelsey do this to me? She's too cunning."Camila was also at a loss. She tried to comfort Quincy, saying, "Don't cry. Tears won't solve anything. The conflict between you and Chelsey needs to be resolved privately."I don't know if she's cunning, but I'm surprised by the faculty's decision. Maybe she has evidence that she did
Shannon had a knack for handling men.While eating, Tobias casually said, "To be honest, I've long heard of you, Ms. White. I just didn't expect you to be so beautiful.""Oh? Where did you hear about me?" Shannon blinked and focused on Tobias. Her gaze was alluring, reflecting a myriad of emotions.Tobias' lips curled into a faint smirk. "I know you're Mr. Yates' ex-girlfriend."Shannon felt somewhat awkward after hearing Lucas' name.She replied in an embarrassed manner, "I've broken up with Lucas many years ago. It was simply some paparazzi spreading rumors. "He and his wife have been happily married for almost four years, and they even have a child who's almost one year old."When he heard that, a subtle hint of malice flashed across Tobias' eyes."Arent' Mr. Yates and his wife divorced already?" he inquired.Shannon did not expect that Tobias would be so interested in gossip. He even knew about Lucas and Chelsey's divorce. Giving it a second thought, Shannon didn't
Chelsey thought her name would be cleared after the school released the surveillance footage. However, many people accused her of having an inappropriate relationship with the dean, which led to Quincy, the "victim", being punished instead of her. Chelsey remembered that her classmates were all innocent when she was in university. How had university life transformed into something entirely unexpected in just a few years?She wondered if it was her or the school that had changed. She considered if it meant that the better the school, the less innocence it held. She now realized the harsh reality of how destructive rumors could be. There were already several versions of gossip circulating among her classmates. Some claimed she was Nigel's relative, while some went as far as saying she slept with him. Everyone sympathized with Quincy and cursed Chelsey behind her back. Even Kylie, who was on good terms with Chelsey when the semester began, started avoiding her. Kylie would
"I'm fine, really…" Lia insisted, but tears continued to stream down her face.Dianne felt uneasy. "Lia, tell me, why are you crying? I don't believe you're crying for no reason.""Grandma, it's better if you don't ask. I don't want to ruin your relationship with Chels."As Lia spoke, she wiped her tears, looking utterly aggrieved."Did Chels bully you?" Dianne inquired, her tone laced with worry."No, Chels didn't bully me. But she's unhappy at school, and it's not entirely her fault. She didn't do anything wrong."Lia continued to beat around the bush. Dianne became even more distressed as she refused to tell the truth.With no other option, Dianne could only approach someone she knew at the National University of Arts.Having received money from Lia, Dianne's contact followed her instructions and exaggerated Chelsey's situation.Suddenly, Chelsey was painted as a domineering and arrogant heiress at school. The acquaintance told Dianne that Chelsey threw coffee at her cl
Before Chelsey completely lost consciousness, she heard the woman whisper in her ear, "If you want your child to live, make Lucas pay with his life. Once he dies, your kid will be returned to you."Chelsey struggled to speak. She was weak and unable to utter a word. A second later, she plummeted into the bottomless abyss. Chelsey had no idea how long she had been unconscious. When she woke up, she found herself in the hospital ward.At the sight of Chelsey opening her eyes, Timothy gently stroked her forehead with joy and said, "Chels, you're finally awake."Memories from before she blacked out came rushing back. Chelsey abruptly grabbed Timothy's hand, saying, "Tim, my baby… Please save my child…"She spoke each word with difficulty. Tears streamed down her cheeks uncontrollably. "Save Collie… Oh, Collie…"Timothy grabbed some tissues and gently wiped Chelsey's tears. "Chels, I've already sent people to look for Collie. We'll definitely bring him back."Suddenly, Chels
Feeling sorry for her, Timothy embraced Chelsey, gently patting her back and reassuring her, "Lucas will definitely bring Collie back. Both of them will be fine."He knew what Chelsey wanted to hear. So, he said that to comfort her.With Timothy offering solace, Chelsey gradually calmed down. She refrained from being either too optimistic or too pessimistic. The best outcome would be for both Lucas and Cole to return safely. As for the worst-case scenario, Chelsey couldn't even bring herself to imagine it. Timothy, too, was worried neither of them could return. It would undoubtedly be a devastating blow to Chelsey if that were to happen. Despite her remarkable talent, her life was tragic. Timothy remained by Chelsey's side, fearing she might be unable to manage when the bad news arrived. Chelsey held onto the phone tightly. She lay on the bed like a zombie, her eyes dull and devoid of light. Timothy suggested, "Do you want to call Lucas now and tell him that Collie is his
Chelsey was stunned after hearing that familiar name. "Uncle Zach? Does he know Draco?" No matter how Chelsey racked her brain, she could never imagine Draco and Zach to be acquaintances. Draco was a notorious drug lord and a murderer, while Zach was the owner of a pharmaceutical company, saving people's lives. Timothy nodded, saying, "Zach has always had business dealings with Draco. But don't misunderstand. Zach isn't involved in any of those shady deals. "All he does is sell medicinal drugs and equipment to Draco. Although the money he makes isn't entirely clean, either."Chelsey could not help but shudder. She was a shareholder of Cosmic Pharmaceuticals. She wondered if that meant she was also involved in those suspicious transactions.Chelsey pondered momentarily. Then, she responded with a frown,"Just because Uncle Zach sells medicinal drugs to Draco doesn't mean they're close. Draco might simply be using his connections."Timothy chuckled and explained, "It's im
Zach's voice resonated with a sense of helplessness. "Uncle Zach…" Chelsey called out, staring at him despairingly. "Must Lucas die?"Her body trembled with fear as she spoke."Yes, Lucas must die," Zach responded. His words were like sharp knives stabbing into Chelsey's heart.The pain made her gasp for breath while tears continued streaming down her face.Zach handed Chelsey a tissue and said, "Chels, don't cry. There are plenty of men in the world, not just Lucas. If he dies, so be it. I'll introduce you to even better young, handsome men."Chelsey covered her face and shook her head vigorously. "I don't want other men…. I only want Lucas!"Zach sighed before commenting, "You're still too young.""Haven't you ever been young, Uncle Zach? Haven't you ever loved someone so much that you're willing to die for them?" Chelsey looked up at Zach, her words delving into the depths of his being. Her words reminded him of someone who had passed away many years ago.At that
Sandra flashed a satisfied smile as she wrapped her arms around Micah's neck and kissed him. "Please be gentle. I'm afraid it'll hurt… Mmm…"An hour later, Sandra lay limp in Micah's arms. Both of them were drenched in sweat.Although the car was not spacious, it did not affect Micah's performance. Sandra was very satisfied with him. He turned to look at the sleepy Sandra and gently asked, "Does it still hurt?""Yeah…"Sandra did not expect it to hurt so much to the point she'd cried in pain.Now, she was exhausted. She did not even have the strength to keep her eyes open.Micah reached out to gently wipe away Sandra's tears. "Are you satisfied?""Yeah," Sandra replied as she embraced him tightly. At that moment, all she wanted to do was sleep. Sandra then fell asleep. She had no idea how she returned to the hotel.When she woke up, it was already morning.Micah was lying beside her, and neither of them was wearing anything. Her eyes lit up at the sight of his hand
Micah's judgment may be somewhat clouded, but he was still aware that he and Sandra were in the car.It was their first time doing the deed. Wasn't it too intense for it to happen in the car?"Let's head back to the hotel. The car is too small," Micah said as he grabbed Sandra's hand, his voice hoarse but sexy. Sandra looked at him seductively. "Are you sure you can hold on until we return to the hotel? I can't stand it anymore. I want it now…"She stuck out her pink tongue and licked her lips as she spoke. Every move of hers was charming.Micah was both amused and helpless at the sight of Sandra's eagerness. He had never met such an unrestrained woman like her. She was indeed a lethal poison. Micah's throat felt like it was on fire. He swallowed hard and replied, "It's our first time. Let's not be hasty. We can enjoy it better in the hotel room."Sandra was not the only inexperienced one. It was also Micah's first time. He felt that doing it in the car lacked a sense
Sandra's suggestive tone caused Micah's heart to flutter, and indescribable images appeared in his mind again. His lips trembled as he nervously asked, "W-What do you want to do?""What do you think I want to do?" Sandra winked at him and then licked her lips. Everything was implied but left unsaid, understood without being spoken.Micah felt both excited and awkward. He cleared his throat before replying, "It's too fast.""We'll get there eventually. So, why not do it sooner? We can enjoy it in advance," Sandra said seriously.Once again, her logic left Micah at a loss for words.He took a deep breath to remain rational. Micah refused to let his instincts take the reins once more. "We've just started dating, and there's no guarantee we'll continue to do so. I don't want to hurt you if we don't work out."But Sandra did not seem to care. "Why is your thinking still so conservative in this day and age? I'm not concerned about it, so why should you?"She merely wanted hi
Sandra did not answer Xenia's question. Instead, she replied, "The crawfish here tastes good. It's big and fresh."But Xenia showed no interest in the crawfish. She was captivated by Micah, her eyes lingering on him."Sandra, is he your boyfriend or bodyguard?"Sandra shot Xenia an annoyed glance and answered, "He's my boyfriend. What's it to you?""Nothing much. Your boyfriend suddenly rushed onto the stage and disrupted the filming. Mr. Dodd was pissed. Tell your boyfriend he shouldn't do that again. Even if he wants to become famous, that's not the way."Xenia's words were somewhat sarcastic, leaving Sandra feeling uncomfortable.The latter retorted, "My boyfriend doesn't want to become famous. He rushed onto the stage because he saw I was feeling unwell. "If it weren't for him, I'd have died by now. And if someone dies, the filming can't continue, anyway."Sandra did not know hypothermia could be so severe. She thought she could have toughed it out.Fortunately, Micah h
Sandra could break up with Micah next month if everything went smoothly.She playfully winked at him and said, "It's your turn to feed me."Micah choked on his saliva upon hearing that.They were in public, so he dared not do it at all. However, Sandra had already opened her mouth."Hurry up and feed me."Left with no choice, Micah peeled a crawfish and fed her.After eating that, Sandra smiled and demanded, "I want you to feed me with your mouth.""Don't push your luck."At that point, Micah's face had turned red as a tomato.Despite being an upright person, Sandra had led him astray. His mind was now filled with unwholesome thoughts."I will push my luck," replied Sandra. She then pouted coquettishly. "Quick! Feed me!"She had thoroughly gotten the better of him.Micah became a man without principles, only capable of spoiling his girlfriend. He could not bring himself to refuse her demands.With a crawfish in his mouth, he turned to feed it to Sandra.She aggressi
Sandra did not want to order takeout at the hotel.So, she searched online for a highly-rated restaurant and asked Micah to drive there.Sandra had chosen an eatery that specialized in crawfish. Upon their arrival, she boldly ordered 22 pounds of crawfish, some side dishes, and beer. The crawfish soon arrived, and the plate was almost as big as the table. Sandra rolled up her sleeves and immediately dug in. She also poured beer for herself and Micah."I need to drive, so I can't drink," said Micah."Don't worry. We can just call for a driver. Let's drink together. It's no fun drinking alone."After saying that, Sandra picked up her glass and took a big gulp.She even put her feet up on the chair while eating, displaying her carefree demeanor.It was Micah's first time seeing a female celebrity who was unconcerned about her image. He suddenly found Sandra's bold and candid character rather adorable.As Sandra savored the crawfish, she paired each mouthful with sips of be
Trevor was even more handsome up close.He was a gentleman, smiling as he asked, "Can you stand steady?""I should be able to," answered Sandra.Initially, she was standing just fine, but then Trevor helped her. Sandra suddenly felt her legs go weak. Perhaps she could not stand steady now.Trevor helped her to the side and said, "You should sit here for a while. Continue filming when you feel better.""Alright."At that moment, Sandra hated herself for not bringing paper and a pen with her. Otherwise, she would have gotten Trevor to sign an autograph."He's so good-looking!" Sandra exclaimed inwardly.After that, Trevor returned to the stage. Owen dared not make a sound and only glared at Sandra, who innocently pursed her lips.How could Owen blame her? Trevor was the one who wanted to help her, after all. Suddenly, Sandra sensed an unfriendly gaze and instinctively turned to look. She immediately caught sight of Micah's darkened expression, his eyes gleaming with a hi
Sandra was not embarrassed by Micah's stare. Instead, she flirtatiously blinked at him and asked, "Do you want to join me for a shower?"Startled, Micah averted his gaze and quickly turned away. "Why didn't you close the door when you shower?"Sandra confidently replied, "Why should I close the door? You're not a stranger. Besides, you've seen every part of my body multiple times."Micah could not help but wonder if she was truly a woman. Why wasn't she shy or reserved? Sandra was bolder than any man. Micah gulped nervously before saying, "That's one way to put it. But don't you feel like you're at a disadvantage by letting me see your body?""If you think I'm at a disadvantage, why don't you show me yours? That way, we'll be even." Sandra then beckoned with her finger. "Come here. Let's shower together."At that moment, Micah felt that Sandra was up to no good, like a witch from a fairy tale.After hanging the shirt she requested on the wall, he turned to leave the b
Sandra burst out laughing after hearing that. She was surprised that Micah had a sense of humor and could crack jokes.Their relationship took another step forward without them realizing it.If it had not been for the filming in the afternoon, Sandra would have wanted to make love with Micah immediately. She wanted to get it done as soon as possible because she had been waiting for this day for too long. After giving birth, she could focus on her career without needing to worry about all these matters anymore.Sandra had made a deal with her parents. They would take care of her child, and she did not need to be involved. The child would grow up and inherit the family business, while she could do whatever she liked and live a carefree life.In actuality, Sandra had no desire to date or marry. She just wanted to be alone.She could find several men to accompany her if she ever felt lonely.Meanwhile, Micah was completely unaware of Sandra's plans. He was even planning to in
