Female Novel
Chapter 385
“Miss Pearson, Mr. Clifford. They just won’t leave no matter what I say.” Molly walked over andcomplained pitifully. She had been held back by those students for three hours and was forced to standunder the scorching sun while her work was pushed aside.
Olivia shook her head at that. She heard about students from Irieson’s University of Technology lookingfor Thomas when she was in a meeting and didn’t think much of it. She assumed that they had left, butto her surprise, they were still making a nuisance of themselves.
“You guys should leave.”
“Hey! That old man who bullied us is there!” someone in the crowd shouted. Then, all eyes landed onThomas.
However, Thomas stepped forward and stood before Olivia before she could speak. He questionedthem coldly, “I’m giving all of you one last chance. Are you leaving or not?”
These students were being utterly shameless. How could they be students of Irieson’s University ofTechnology with such despicable behavior? They didn’t have the conduct of a student from aprestigious school. Instead, they quickly assumed that Thomas was a nobody and spewed nonsenseabout him because they had more people on their side. Yet, they dared to pretend to be pitiful whenthey saw Olivia. Thomas had had enough of them.
“Old man! Why are you here? Run along now. You don’t belong here!”
“Exactly! Who do you think you are to make us leave?”
“What can you do if we don’t leave?”novelbin
“Don’t think that we’re letting you off the hook for hitting us!” The few senior students stepped forwardand glared at Thomas.
Thomas glanced at them and moved his hands like lightning. He grabbed onto the neck of the studentin front of him and pulled him forward. At the same time, his other hand moved before the student couldreact.
Smack! A loud sound rang as a slap landed fiercely on the student’s face and his face instantly swelledup as though a bee had stung him. It seems that the previous lesson wasn’t enough. You dare to spewnonsense in my presence again?
Thomas turned around and ordered Olivia, “Inform the Irieson’s University of Technology that we areending all collaboration with them. The Keyshire Property won’t accept any graduate student of theirs!”
He never had much of an attachment to the university in the first place. He was merely admitted beforehis SAT(s) results were released and didn’t even know where the main entrance of the university waslocated. After this unpleasant encounter with this bunch of students, all his good impressions about theuniversity disappeared.
Is this the quality of students from the top academy in Droycore? If that’s the case, they shouldn’t evendream of working in Keyshire Property!
Thomas didn’t care what the rest of the teachers and students from Irieson’s University of Technologywould say about him. He wasn’t born in this world to please everyone.
“Huh? Sure.” Olivia nodded. This was her first time hearing Thomas speaking in such a harsh tone toher since they met. It seemed that her well-intentioned efforts had backfired and he was furious.
The students widened their eyes in shock at the scene. Who exactly is this man that even the presidentof Keyshire Property, Olivia, had to listen to him? Does that mean he holds a higher position than her?
Oh, my God! We even provoked him earlier on. We’ve kicked the hornet’s nest now.
“Sigh,” Molly sighed as she looked at the students. They were the prime example of, ‘what goesaround, comes around’. Thomas was usually a chill guy, and it was rare for him to get so riled up.Frankly, he wasn’t even talkative enough to get into disputes with others. Yet, he was so angered bythese shameless students that he had even raised his voice for once.
Serves you guys right for not watching your mouths! Now, the collaboration between the university andKeyshire Property will be terminated, and these students are responsible for it. What goes aroundcomes around.
“What are you waiting for? Leave!” Ophelie put her hands on her hips as she glared at the students.“Who do you think you are to see my brother-in-law?”
“Brother-in-law?” Those words were like a bomb that exploded in Molly’s mind.
She knew that this beautiful young lady was Olivia’s sister. So, if Thomas was her brother-in-law, doesthat mean that Thomas and Olivia were married?
Tears streamed down her face uncontrollably at that thought. No! This can’t be! When did Thomasmarry Miss Pearson? How was I not informed about this?
Molly’s gaze shot to Olivia’s hands and scrutinized it carefully. Her beating heart slowed when sherealized there wasn’t even a trace of a ring on Olivia’s hands. Ophelie has to be bluffing! That’sdefinitely it. There’s still hope for me!
On the other hand, the group of students was also shocked by that revelation. Thomas is that little girl’sbrother-in-law?
Then, Ophelie pointed at Thomas, who was walking toward a Maserati, and announced proudly, “He ismy brother-in-law, Thomas!”
“What?” The students’ jaws fell to the ground at her words. So, all this while, that man with white hairwas Thomas.
That man that they called an old man was actually Thomas. They even blocked his way in the morningand attacked him verbally.
They were doomed. These students had destroyed all the hopes of any students from Irieson’sUniversity of Technology to work in Keyshire Property. It was an undeniable fact that the company onlytook the initiative and extended its intent to collaborate with the university because of Thomas in thefirst place.
In their minds, Thomas would be a handsome young man wearing a branded suit. They never thoughtthat he would look so plain and even have a full head of white hair.
If they knew his identity, they would never dare cross him, but what could they do now? How were theygoing to explain this to the school and their schoolmates?
“Olivia, let’s go!” Ophelie grabbed Olivia’s hand and walked toward the Maserati, leaving behind thegroup of students staring at each other in dismay and a distraught Molly.
During the journey, Olivia didn’t dare make a sound as she could see that Thomas was fuming. Shejust hoped that he wouldn’t take out his anger from those childish students on her.
Ophelie also sensed that the atmosphere was off as she discreetly sneaked several glances betweenThomas and Olivia.
