If the second master revealed the truth now, then the world would surely descend in chaos and with the King Family involved...
Ji Yan’s vision spun.
Adrian looked at the man, completely unfazed.
As if he was one step away from making all revelations.
’’Second Master, you must not act rashly. Old Master and Old Madam don’t know about Miss Yu’s existence yet and they have been your only constant support in becoming the heir. Moreover, nobody in the main family would accept Miss Yu and...’’
’’They dare not accept her?" The man’s gloomy voice descended in Ji Yan’s mortal ears.
And those words pierced through Ji Yan’s heart.
Ji Yan wanted to cry but he had no tears.
Riri curled to a better position and grabbed a ball in his mouth, unbothered by the chaos.
Looking at Riri, an idea suddenly dawned on Ji Yan, ’’Even if we look past that, Miss Yu certainly wouldn’t be happy with this entire thing...’’
Adrian’s conviction faltered. His face darkened.
Ji Yan gulped. Working... It is working... ’’She even prefers going in low-key cars to avoid attention. She must have a plan in her mind.’’
’’It is for her peace of mind,’’ Adrian’s brows knitted.
"But that is how you see things, Second Master. She might not think the same way. Your relationship with Miss Yu has been flourishing and blooming these days so you should be more careful about these things...’’
Adrian glanced at his phone that was resting quietly, ’’Get this changed.’’
’’It’s not working.’’
"_" Second Master, it’s working. It’s working very well. The only thing that is malfunctioning is the cupid in your life.
Not getting a response, Adrian looked up, displeasure crossing his face.
Ji Yan sweated, ’’Second Master, considering the time, Miss Yu is probably in her classes right now. Once the classes are over, she will certainly call you back."
Adrian glanced at his phone, his gaze darkened even further but in the end, he stayed put in his seat.
Ji Yan sighed in relief. Atleast, this disaster was averted.
But another thought crossed his mind and he suddenly clutched his phone. If the Second Master came to know about that...
Adrian’s voice rang in Ji Yan’s ears like a death’s knell.
A chill crept down his spine.
Shivering, he extended his phone where the pictures were displayed.
And in all the pictures, only Ji Yan’s shadow was visible.
There wasn’t a single visual of Adrian anywhere.
Ella’s sugar daddy in question... wasn’t Adrian, but rather Ji Yan.
A dark air surged in the private plane, like the thunder rambling just before the sky was split apart by an unforgiving bolt of lightning.
Under the oppressive aura, Ji Yan almost sank to his knees.
If humiliation had a shape, Ji Yan would’ve melted into it, his soul leaking out like snot from an abandoned tissue.
A phone landed in the distance, shattering in smithereens.
Ji Yan flinched. Ah, his new phone! But he did not dare to move.
Riri raised his head to observe the chaos but went back to playing with his ball in a few seconds.
The storm hadn’t passed—it was only gathering. Adrian’s gaze stayed locked on the dark screen, colder than death, quieter than destruction.
’’I think we shouldn’t wait for the exams this time to disqualify the selected students!"
In an office room, a group of people were gathered.
The person who spoke was none other than Jennifer, Professor Jenny.
At her words, the rest of the professors looked at each other, ’’Professor Jenny, the Dean isn’t around as of now. And you invited us all here for this emergency meeting... to discuss this?"
’’Yes, you must have known how chaotic the students have gotten since yesterday...’’ Jenny paused, ’’As for daddy, you don’t need to worry. Once we make the final decision, he will definitely approve it.’’
The crowd of teachers paused when Jenny subtly asserted her power by mentioning her relationship with the dean.
’’This issue... is mainly revolving around the girl in your class, right? Oh yes, Ella. Ella Yu,’’ A professor asked.
’’So, Professor Jenny wants to kick her out of the university?" Another questioned.
Jenny calmly spoke, ’’She is just a student and I have nothing against her. What I am concerned about is that the university has been in complete disorder since yesterday. And I don’t want the other students to be influenced by Ella’s actions and indulge in these improper things.’’
Hearing that, the other professors fell quiet for a moment.
Jenny’s words clearly established that the rumours about Ella were true.
After a while, one of the people spoke up, ’’There is no denying that this matter has exploded since last night and everybody is talking about it. Some are even questioning the code of conduct of our university for accepting such students.’’
"In that case, there is no harm in proceeding with this. In any case, Ella Yu was meant to be disqualified from sitting in the final exams and graduating. So, what difference does it make if it is done late or early?"
Jenny was the dean’s daughter. So, a few of them knew how to play it safe and pick a side right away.
Jenny smiled, ’’So, why don’t we vote? We can decide on the basis of majority...’’
As whispers of agreement rose in the meeting room, there were sounds of approaching footsteps.
A grim-faced man entered the place.
His stern face intimidated some of the younger professors.
’’Professor Jenny, it’d be rather abrupt and inappropriate to suspend a student like that because of a few ugly rumours.’’
Seeing Professor Grimwood, Jenny smiled, ’’Professor, I am not being abrupt with my decision. You might not know.. but this student of mine has always been wilful. Neither she pays attention to her studies, nor is she respectful. And these rumors...’’
"I normally wouldn’t speak about a student’s private life," Jenny began, her tone heavy with implication, "but since it’s come to this...
