Wilson had reached the door when he received a message from Jasper. A flicker of menace crossed his face as his gaze fell on the word “take“. His eyes narrowed, and a chill seemed to radiate from him.
Collin leaned over to peek and immediately laughed. “Wilson, are you so insecure about yourself that you need Jasper to keep an eye out for you?”
Wilson’s eyes hardened at the jest, sending a shiver down Collin’s spine. The latter quickly clamped his mouth shut, too afraid to continue joking.
With a cold and detached gaze, Wilson replied to Jasper’s message. “Keep watching! You can get your allowance back.”
It wasn’t that he lacked confidence; it was that Yvette was too popular. He needed to keep an eye out for those creeps out there.
Jasper’s reply was lightning–fast. His joy at getting his allowance reinstated was obvious, and Wilson could feel it through his message.
“Wilson, don’t worry! I’ll make sure no other man gets close to Yvette!”
Wilson smiled, satisfied. “Lneed you to do one more thing. Find a way to keep Sean and Ashton occupied.”
Jasper scratched his head in confusion. Why stall Sean and Ashton?
But before he could figure it out, a transfer notification popped up. Seeing the hefty sum, Jasper grinned from ear to ear and immediately replied.
“Got it, Wilson. I’ll stick to them like glue!”
After reading the message, Wilson casually put his phone away.
“Mr. Quinn, the car is ready. The auction starts in an hour,” Samuel said respectfully as he walked in.
Wilson nodded. “Let’s go to Jubilife University now.”
He was going to pick up Yvette.
“An auction?” Collin perked up with interest, “It’s been a while since I attended one. I’ll
go too!”
Wilson couldn’t be bothered to respond to him and walked out with long steps. Samuel gave Collin a sympathetic glance before quickly following Wilson.
Left behind, Collin couldn’t help but scoff. Wilson didn’t want him to tag along and be a third wheel. Fine, he’d go by himself!
Jacob had finished a meeting and strode out of the conference room. His assistant respectfully followed behind him.
“Mr. Murray, the auction starts in an hour. Would you like to head over now?”
Jácob nodded. Last time, he returned in a hurry and didn’t have time to buy a gift for Yvette. This auction was the perfect chance to find something nice as a present.
“Very well, Mr. Murray. I’ll get the car ready.”
Jacob gave a nod of approval and sent a message to Ashton and Sean, Instructing them to pick up Yvette and take her home. He wouldn’t give that lecher Wilson any chance to get close to Yvette again!
As soon as class ended, the class erupted in groans. Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
“This is so hard! I didn’t understand a thing! And the professor left us with such a difficult problem. I’m going to die trying to solve this problem!”
“Yes, it’s way too hard, like listening to gibberish! I didn’t understand anything, and I have no idea where to even start with this problem!”
The students were all lamenting, their faces etched with agony.
“Why don’t we ask Yvie?” Madison suggested quietly.
The suggestion sparked a glimmer of hope in their eyes, but soon, doubt crept in.
“But Yvie slept through the whole pathology lecture. What if she doesn’t know the answer either?”
