Female Novel
Chapter 368
She paused before speaking. “It’s not just the restaurant but also your reputation at Irieson First Highand the Irieson’s University of Technology. Aren’t they ashamed of you? That cannot continue. I willmake these two institutions give their approval whenever there is mention of your name!”
Olivia had already thought it through last night. It had been eight years yet the two institutions refusedto let go of such a paltry issue. She was going to make them regret it and make them change theiropinions!
She would make their students and teachers become filled with admiration at the mention of Thomas’name. She had even drafted a general plan to carry it out—donate a lecture building in his name toIrieson First High and fund the schooling of impoverished students studying there. The Irieson’sUniversity of Technology would be easier to deal with since the businesses under Keyshire Propertycovered nearly every industry. She could provide free internships for the graduating class and thenrecruit the best-performing ones. Who could refuse such a generous offer? She wouldn’t just restorehis reputation but also let the people at these institutions know that her boyfriend was capable even ifhe hadn’t attended university.
“Huh?” Thomas froze to the spot after hearing her speak. It has been eight years, so is that necessary?
“Olivia, it’s not worth it. They can just say whatever they like.”
“No!” Olivia remained determined. “I’ve just called Molly and told her to contact the management of theinstitutions to discuss our collaboration. You’re my boyfriend, so I won’t let anyone slander you!”
Thomas shook his head with a bitter smile before turning to settle on the couch. He would allow her todo what she wanted since he couldn’t stop her anyway. Meanwhile, Olivia returned to her office deskand continued her work.
Molly only returned to the office at 4.00PM.
“Miss Pearson, the representative of Irieson’s University of Technology has expressed their wish toinvite Thomas to give a talk and recount his battle journey to their current students.”
“Tell them that he isn’t available!” Olivia turned them down decisively. They had been so critical of himbut were now rushing to pander to him after seeing that he was capable. Why should she give themthat privilege?
“Okay. I’ll go inform their headmaster,” Molly replied before going off to make the requiredarrangements. She had gone to see the headmaster directly during her trip to the university thatafternoon and told him the purpose of her visit. He had been extremely delighted and even let theentire school know with some deliberate publicization from the school that thanks to Thomas, KeyshireProperty was willing to accept part of the graduating class to work there every year.
The university was now completely astir and no one dared mention that Thomas had bailed on theuniversity head of admissions. Thomas had now transformed from a disparaged and widely criticizedman to a generous contributor.
The harsh reality was that history was written by the victors since they controlled most public resourcesand rights of speech. Molly suddenly felt envious of Olivia. Possessing wealth and power definitelymade a great difference. Molly wouldn’t have been able to do all this even if she wanted to restoreThomas’ reputation.
Meanwhile, Thomas didn’t even pay attention to the conversation between the two women since hewas busy practicing the second-level technique of the nameless books with his eyes closed. One yearwasn’t exactly a long or short period and he had to use the time as efficiently as possible to improve hisabilities.
He eventually stopped at 6.00PM and opened his eyes, thereafter heading to the window in thecorridor. Pulling out a cigarette, he lit it and put it in his mouth.
Just you wait, Reuben Flynn and Leah Wilkinson. I still remember everything you’ve done to me. Yourfamilies will be destroyed one year from now!novelbin
As he saw it, there was no need for the two shameless families to exist any longer. Since hisdisagreements with them could no longer be reconciled, then he would destroy them right down to thesource.
After finishing his cigarette, he returned to the office and suggested to Olivia, “I’ll send you to the rentedhouse. Since you seem to be getting along well with Chloe, you can wait there for me and besides, youwon’t be lonely. I have to deal with something and will pick you up when I’m done.”
“Okay!” Olivia had no choice but to agree. She had originally planned on going shopping with Thomasafter work since the seasons were changing and she wanted to buy some new clothes for them both.Since he had put it that way, she would have to delay those plans for now.
Thomas knew from her expression that she was unhappy and quickly reassured, “Olivia, I’ve madearrangements with my friend the day before yesterday, so bailing on him isn’t exactly appropriate.Shopping isn’t really a priority right now, and we can go another day when we are both available.”
“Okay!” Olivia smiled sweetly, knowing that he had explained himself because he was concerned forher and also worried that she would be angry.
Her smile was extremely captivating and made him stare dumbly at her unconsciously.
“Thomas, let’s go.”
“Oh. Okay!” It was only then that he gathered his thoughts.
Oh, Thomas, what are you doing? Do you have the right to date her when you’re like this? Don’t forgetthat you only have ten years left to live. How is she going to deal with things then? Aren’t you just
wasting the best days of her youth?
After taking Olivia to the rented house, Thomas drove to Miles Auction House where Rochka wasalready waiting.
Rochka immediately opened the door to his car after seeing Thomas. “Come in, Mr. Clifford!”
Thomas smiled and nodded before getting into Rochka’s Mercedes Benz limousine, the sight of whichtook many of the participants of the auction there aback.
“Wow! Are my eyes fooling me or is Rochka Nett personally opening the door for someone?”
“You aren’t mistaken. I saw it too. Goodness! Who is that?”
“I don’t know, but I’m certain of one thing—he’s definitely an important figure as well. Otherwise, howcan he enjoy such treatment?”
“Wow! That’s good. He’s already so capable at such a young age.”
In the limousine, Rochka asked, “Mr. Clifford, I heard you’re planning to join the Ancient Martial ArtsFamily Ranking Competition one year after.”
He had gone around gathering information on Thomas in the last two days, as he had already heardthe news from the Travis Family of Capitalis that Thomas was their most exalted guest. Kyrie had evencalled Rochka personally and asked him to help Thomas in any way he could if Thomas ever needed it.
Thomas nodded. “Yes.”
There were some grievances he needed to resolve on that day.
