CHAPTERS 1121 - 1125
CHAPTER 1121
Andrew reached out his hand and tried to push Silvia away, but she refused to let go of him. She then rubbed her head against his chest and said, "Young Master Carter, I'm really sleepy now. Please let me sleep!"
Her tender and fragrant body was tightly attached to him, and he could clearly feel her curves with his body. Andrew's body went stiff and he could no longer resist her constant pestering.
This standoff between the two for the night would end with Silvia taking the lead for the time being.
Silvia was feeling quite proud. No man could ever resist a beautiful woman who threw herself into his arms.
She recalled what Blotie had said. Sometimes, a woman should act vulnerable and act coquettishly. because no man would be able to resist a woman like that.
Initially, she thought that Andrew, this freakish man, was different from other men. Now, it seemed that he had the same weakness as all men did, but he was just more ruthless than them.
Silvia fell asleep feeling proud of herself. However, she had no idea what Andrew had done to her after she had fallen asleep at all.
She didn't know how intense Andrew's gaze was as he stared at her, and she did not know how meticulous he was as he kept her repentance letter.
After staring at Silvia's sleeping face for a long time, Andrew reached out his hand to pick up the ointment and cotton swab which he had asked his servant to prepare a while ago and treated the wound on her face. "What a silly woman. If your face is ruined, I will definitely disown you!"
Most of the time, Andrew couldn't figure out what was on Silvia's mind. He thought that all women would have cared about their own faces the most, but this woman acted like her face was something she could just destroy whenever she liked.
There were a few wounds on her face. If it was not treated in time, it was very likely that they would turn into scars, but she did not mention it at all throughout the night.
If it weren't for the fact that he didn't want to look at her ugly face for the rest of his life, he wouldn't have meddled in her business.
"Ouch... it hurts. Please be gentle!" Silvia felt a stinging sensation on her face when the ointment was applied to her wounds.
“Serves you right, woman! Only when you're asleep you'll admit that it's painful, huh? Why didn't you complain about pain when you were awake just now?" Andrew said in displeasure, but his touch became lighter as he continued to apply the ointment.
He gently finished up her wounds, and then tucked her up in bed. Then, as he held her in his arms, the two of them fell into a deep slumber.
Silvia had a good sleep that night.
When she woke up, she thought that it was still midnight. However, it was because of the thick curtains which had completely blocked out the sunlight. It was a perfect excuse for her to stay in bed.
It was not until Prince's phone call came.
"Boss, where are you? Are you still alive? Did the man who kidnapped you do anything to you?"
From the moment Silvia answered the phone, Prince had not stopped talking.
Silvia frowned. "If I'm dead, do you think that I'll still be able to answer this call?"
Prince said, "That was because I was worried to death that my thoughts are a little disorganized now."
Silvia said, "I‘m fine."
"It's good that you're fine." Prince breathed a sigh of relief and suddenly became nervous again. "But how could you be fine?"
Silvia said grumpily, "Did you hope that something would actually happen to me?"
Prince explained, "No. I could vaguely remember that you were carried away by a man, I really can't believe that nothing had happened to you."
Silvia didn't want Prince to know about Andrew's existence, let alone their relationship. Therefore, she didn't want to talk about being carried home by Andrew the night before.
She then said, "You've probably seen it wrongly because you were drunk. Well, I have something to attend to now. I'll talk to you later."
Prince reminded, "Boss. Don't forget that we have classes today. If you continue to skip school, you might get expelled soon."
This was indeed a serious matter. Silvia scratched her head and said, "Okay, I'll go get ready now. See you later."
She had gotten herself in so much mess recently that she had almost forgotten that she was still a student.
Silvia freshened up and went downstairs. Andrew was eating at the dining table.
She looked at the food on the table from a distance and saw that they were all very bland food. She didn't like them so she said, "Young Master Carter, I'm going to the campus now."
He didn't respond. Silvia didn't know if he had heard her.
Therefore, Silvia had no choice but to walk to the dining room and greet him again, "Young Master Carter, I'm going to the campus now."
He finally looked up at her and said, “Have some breakfast before you go."
Silvia shook her head. "I don‘t have any appetite."
Andrew raised his eyebrows and said, "If I ever find out that you've eaten the things that I've forbidden you to eat, you'd better watch out."
"Hmph..." Silvia snorted. She was not in the mood to argue with him. She didn't believe that he could follow her around 24/7. She would just eat without him noticing.
However, Silvia had forgotten that even if he couldn't be by her side 24 hours a day, but he has tons of people under him to keep an eye on her. He could easily arrange a couple of his men to watch her every move on his behalf.
Since Silvia said that she did not want to eat, Andrew did not force her. He put down his fork and wiped his mouth, "Come here."
Silvia looked at him warily, "What do you want to do?"
He raised his eyebrows and said, "What do you think?"
It was this annoying tone again. Silvia really wanted to beat him up, but she sat down beside him and said, "Just say it already. Don't make me guess."
Under her gaze, Andrew unhurriedly brought out a box and took out a jewel bracelet which was resting in it. "Give me your hand."
"Is this for me?" Silvia was not a master in jewelry, but it would be impossible for a rich man like Andrew to buy her a counterfeit one. If the bracelet was a genuine one, it must have cost him a lot of money.
She had not done anything to deserve such an expensive present from him, so he must be plotting something against her. Perhaps, he might have already installed a tracking device in this jewel bracelet.
Judging from what he had done to her in the past, Silvia could not exclude the possibility that Andrew would do such a freakish thing.
She hid her hands behind her back and said, "I don't want an ugly-looking thing like this one."
Andrew emphasized, "I said, give me your hand."
She had already expressed her refusal, but he insisted on it. Silvia was almost 100% sure that it was not just some ordinary bracelet.
She shook her head. "I don't want it.”
This time, Andrew pulled her hand and forced her to put it on. "You'd better take good care of this. If you get any scratches on it, even a slight one, I'll make you pay for it."
"Andrew, just how twisted can you be? I've already said that I don't want it, but you still forced it on me. I've never worn any accessories, so how can I guarantee that I won't damage it?" Silvia raised her hand and wanted to take off the bracelet.
"If you don't want this jewel bracelet, then I don‘t mind taking your hand off together with it." Andrew looked at her and said calmly.
He did not speak in a threatening tone, and there was even a hint of tenderness. However, Silvia could feel the anger emitting from his body.
It seemed that she really couldn't take off this jewel bracelet.
CHAPTER 1122
Andrew ordered, "Eat."
Why would she eat such disgusting food? She couldn't even eat what she wanted to eat. And she couldn't even wear what she wanted to wear. Nor could she have fun the way she wanted.
Now, she even had to put on some jewelry which she was not used to wearing at all. Is this what a normal person's life would look like?
The rage that she had been holding back had almost exploded. However, the man sitting next to her was calm and even acted like he was indifferent about everything.
Looking at her angry face, Andrew added, "As long as I'm satisfied with your performance, you can live the days you want and eat all the roast chicken you crave."
Why did she have to satisfy him? Silvia gritted her teeth in anger.
Andrew ignored her. "The food will turn cold if you don't eat it now. Well, I'm not in a hurry anyway. I can get the chef to prepare another set for you and I'll watch you eat it."
"Okay, I'll eat, I'll listen to you. I'll do whatever you ask me to do." Silvia picked up a piece of broccoli and stuffed it into her mouth. She chewed on it vigorously as she imagined that she was chewing the horrible Andrew into pieces.
What a stinky b*stard! A beast with no conscience! And a perverted psychopath!
She told herself that she would definitely turn the tables one day. When that day comes, she would beat up Andrew and make him suffer. Even if he begged for mercy, she would not let him go.
"Slow down. Rushing through your meal is bad to your stomach and your health in general." Andrew reminded her.
If an outsider were to witness the scene, they would probably think that Andrew had treated her well and cared for her.
Bullsh’t!
This beast, Andrew, who was just so good at disguising himself. At that instant, Silvia really wished that she could just drown him with her spit.
"I'm done eating. I'm going to school now. "After finishing the meal, Silvia put down her cutleries and walked towards the door while wiping her mouth.
She thought that she could finally get rid of this pervert temporarily. However, who knew that Andrew would suddenly issue another order. "From today onwards, you'll have to let the driver send you no matter where you go."
One of her feet was already out of the house. When she heard Andrew, she stopped and looked back at him. “No. I will just take the taxi."
If the driver was to send her everywhere Silvia went, it would then be inconvenient for her to do anything. It would also mean that there would be an extra pair of eyes monitoring her, and she would have no more freedom to do whatever she wanted.
Silvia had already made up her mind. She told herself that no matter what, she must not abide by his order this time. She must resist till the end and she must not give in at all.
However, Andrew said slowly, "Did I ask for your opinion?"
Silvia was furious. "What? Young Master Carter, shouldn't you have asked me for my opinion?"
D‘mn, this matter was closely related to her and it involved her vital interests. It was about whether she could eat what she liked and whether she could have fun with her friends without a qualm. How could he not ask for her opinion at all?
"God, please save me!"
Andrew really had no intention of asking Silvia's opinion at all. Then, with his long legs, Andrew strode upstairs, without giving her an opportunity to persuade him.
Looking at his back, Siivia was extremely anxious. What could she do? If she continued to submit to him like this, she would definitely die soon.
"Madam, the car is ready to go at any time." Andrew's personal driver suddenly appeared at the front door. His words had undoubtedly added fuel to Silvia's raging anger.
Silvia was about to go insane. "B’stard, am I your pet or your wife? What right do you have to deprive me of my freedom? What right do you have to control every part of my life?"
She wanted to rush upstairs to confront him. She wanted to grab him by the collar and make things clear. However, when she thought of what the man had done to her, she was a little intimidated.
Silvia returned to the dining room and flipped the dining table over. The dishes on the table were smashed and scattered all over the ground, which vented her anger and frustration by a little.
………...
University A was one of the most prestigious universities in Madison City. Quite a number of eminent people had graduated from this university, especially the people from the financial sector. This was the exact reason why Silvia's father had enrolled her at this very university.
Silvia personally didn't like anything about financial analysis, but in order to help out with her father's business, she had no choice but to make herself take on the challenge.
Silvia was a legendary figure who was well known throughout University A. She was known for getting into fights and also for her fiery temper.
Especially when she was dating Felix. Their relationship was so high-profile that all the girls in the university could not wait to tear Silvia apart. They were jealous of her relationship with Felix.
Felix was a senior in his final year. Ever since he was a freshman, he was voted as the best looking guy in University A. Not only did he have good looks, he was born into a rich family and was even an overachiever when it came to his studies.
He was good in both academics and co-curricular activities, including sports. He was the best in everything he was involved in.
He looked good, had a good family background, and was a star student. An excellent man like him without any flaws had long been targeted by all the female students in University A. Therefore, wherever he went, he would always run into one of his admirers.
However, Felix was not interested in any of them, and only one girl had caught his attention. She was Silvia Turner, who not only lacked ladylike qualities but was also a girl who would always get into fights.
One day a few months ago, Felix appeared at the campus gate while holding Silvia's hand. At that instant, countless hearts were shattered.
From that very moment, Silvia had become the common enemy of all the female students in University A. Wherever she went, they would all look at her with anger and disgust. However, this was all in the past.
“Madam, we're here." The driver interrupted Silvia's train of thoughts.
Before leaving the villa, the driver had also addressed her as "Madam". However, Silvia was still in a rage so she did not realize it.
At this time, when she heard the driver referring her as "Madam" at the crowded campus entrance, Silvia stared at him fiercely and warned him, "Don't call me Madam. You can call me by my name or anything else you like."
"Madam, this was Master Andrew's order. I'm sorry but I can't follow your orders." The driver replied honestly, making Silvia look really bad.
Silvia then said, "He won't know it when you're outside anyway."
The driver replied, "No. I can't do that."
Forget it, the driver had no say in this matter after all. He was just a paid employee. The key to the matter lay in Andrew's despicable hands.
"Okay, okay, forget it. You can go ahead with your own affairs now. Please come pick me up after my class is over." Silvia grabbed her bag and got off the car immediately, fearing that the driver would follow her.
As soon as Silvia stepped into the campus, she could see a few people pointing at her while whispering to each other.
One of them said, "Look, look, Silvia is here! Silvia Turner is here!"
Someone else said, "That's a Bentley. That would probably cost at least a million dollars.“
Another person said, "I thought that her family had gone bankrupt after her father had passed away? How could she afford such an expensive car?"
Someone sneered, "Even if her dad is not dead, she still can't afford such an expensive car with their small company."
CHAPTER 1123
"If that is the case, does that mean that she doesn't own that car?“
"Was the old man who was driving the car, her driver? Or perhaps he's the man she hooked up with?"
"I think that's her new man. Do you think that an unruly woman like her would be able to hook up with a rich and handsome young man?"
"She hasn't been to classes for ages, and it is said that the school was about to expel her. However, no one knew what happened after that, and no one ever dared to mention her expulsion anymore."
"Don't tell me that there's some hidden big shot in the Turner family?"
“I think it's most likely that the man who this b*tch had hooked up with is someone influential. As long as she works hard in bed, he will do everything for her. This is why all these things are happening."
A group of girls gathered around and chatted openly, worrying that Silvia would not be able to catch their "whispers“.
It was fine if they liked to gossip behind her back. However, they were deliberately saying it in her face. It was obvious that they wanted to embarrass her.
Silvia's life motto was that if someone was to do her any harm, she would definitely return tit for tat.
"Tsk tsk tsk...Since when did our campus become a brothel? All of you are standing there like prostitutes waiting for business."
In terms of fighting and quarreling, except for that b*stard Andrew, Silvia had never met any worthy opponent in the recent years.
As soon as Silvia's words were out, the entire group of girls looked at her simultaneously and said to her, "Silvia Turner, who are you calling prostitutes?"
Silvia reached out her hand and pointed at each and every one of them with a smile. "I'm talking about whoever was talking behind my back. Since all of you were gossiping about me, then I would say that I'm referring to all of you."
A girl who had been silent finally spoke, "Silvia, this is a university. You should be careful with your words. Don't bring your filthy behaviors into the campus."
These people clearly know that they can't beat Silvia in a fight nor could they win her in an argument. However, they still wanted to badmouth her. They were trying to put themselves on the moral high ground to defeat Silvia with their opinions.
However, Silvia was the kind who would neither listen to reason nor bow to force. Since whatever they said were in fact the truth, she felt that there was no need to clarify.
However, it was impossible for her to shut up and listen to them badmouthing her. She was not the kind of person who cried like a weakling when bullied by others.
"Tsk tsk tsk..." Silvia laughed, "I was wondering who was speaking. It turns out that it's Alina, our campus belle! Do you think that you could talk bad about me behind my back and I would not retaliate at all?"
Alina pursed her lips and said, "Silvia, everyone knows what kind of person you are. Don't cause any more troubles here. We are in a University. If you want to fight, go fight with someone else outside of the campus."
"Fight? Who wants to fight with you guys?" Silvia hung her bag on her shoulder. "Alina, do you really think that you deserve the title of “campus belle'? Everyone knows that you were able to get it because I don‘t want it."
All of them knew that Silvia had a bad temper, and she would definitely hit one of them if they managed to provoke her.
Once Silvia threw a punch at them, they could go to the school affairs office and lodge a complaint against her, then the university would have a valid reason to expel Silvia.
However, even if they had been trying to provoke her, Silvia managed to keep her cool. She was such an unpredictable woman.
"Silvia, you're being too unreasonable. What do you mean that l was able to get the title because you don't want it, I..." What Silvia has said was a fact that all the teachers and students on campus knew, and that was the very reason why Alina was so anxious.
"Oh, did I remember it wrongly then? Why don't you ask your friends around you if I've remembered it wrongly?" Seeing Alina's embarrassed face, Silvia sneered, "Why don't you go look yourself in the mirror first?"
Alina was always the one creating trouble behind Silvia's back but Silvia had never bothered to deal with it. However, Alina had already crossed her limits, so she had no choice but to retaliate.
Alina was panting with rage. "You... Don't you dare push my limits! This is a university, not some despicable place where you can do whatever you want!"
Silvia walked towards Alina and whispered into her ear, "You should be glad that we are in the university, otherwise I would have already beaten you to a pulp."
Alina grabbed Silvia's hand and said, "Just wait and see. I don't believe that you will be able to graduate."
Silvia had never offended Alina. Silvia was indeed prettier than Alina and was widely recognized as a beautiful girl in the campus. However, in order to get the title of campus belle, Alina had gone around and spread rumors defaming Silvia.
"Boss, why are you here so early?" Prince and Lemur came over to Silvia.
Silvia smiled. "It's a bit early, but if I wasn't here early, I wouldn't have had the time to teach someone a lesson.“
Lemur answered, "Boss, what happened?"
"Lemur, are you nosing around? Well, don't you see that quarrelsome woman over there?" Prince displayed a disgusted expression when he saw
Alina. To be honest, he had never seen such a disgusting woman in his life.
Back then, Felix had rejected Alina, but she continued to pester him. Fortunately, Felix was faithful to their Boss and was not seduced by this wicked woman.
Alina clenched her fists and it was obvious that she was extremely angry, but she had to maintain her composure in front of everyone.
She was not like Silvia. She must not be angry or curse in front of everyone. She must maintain her most beautiful condition.
Silvia said, "Let's go."
"Boss, give me your bag, I'll carry it for you." Prince knew how to please Silvia. As long as he was around, he would not let Silvia carry anything.
Lemur asked, "Boss, what did those people say just now?"
Silvia shrugged, "What else could they say? Just the usual."
Prince sped up and squeezed to Silvia's side. "Boss, did you hit anyone today?"
Silvia sighed, "People do grow up, don't you know?"
Her father was gone and Felix was gone too. Without her solid back up, she could not afford to be so capricious like she used to before.
She would have to rely on herself in future. Therefore, she must think twice before acting. She must learn to protect herself, her family and her friends.
Prince said, “Boss, no matter what, you still have the two of us."
Silvia patted his shoulder, "You can't even win me in a fight, what can you do for me?"
Prince refused to accept defeat. "It's not that I can't beat you, I just let you win, okay?"
Silvia gave him a hard slap on the back and Prince immediately yelled, “Can you please go a little softer? I can feel my bones breaking!"
Silvia laughed. "Since you know how powerful I am, then stop being so garrulous."
Prince massaged his shoulders and said, "They were almost broken."
Lemur said, "The reason why they were not broken was not that your bones are strong, but that Boss had showed mercy to you."
"What a suck-up!“ Prince rolled his eyes at Lemur and didn't want to talk to him.
"By the way, boss, who was the one to take you away last night?" Prince did not believe that he had seen it wrongly the night before.
CHAPTER 1124
Silvia was stunned because of the sudden change of topic. "Prince, I think you drank too much last night."
Prince then said, "Boss, even if I did drink too much and saw wrongly, I'm certain that Blotie Black, the owner of Starie Blotie was totally sober. She said that she was worried that you were taken away by some bad guys, so she had even chased after you. But, she saw that the man was patiently taking care of you even after you had puked on him..."
"I was drunk and even vomited on him? Why don't I remember anything about it?" That explained why Andrew had made her write the repentance letter. This was the key reason, it's just that she was so drunk that she could not remember anything about it.
Since she couldn't recall it, Andrew could have just reminded her. If he continued to be silent about it, how would she ever be able to recall what her mistakes were if she had already blacked out at that time?
B‘stard! Pervert! Son of a b‘tch!
He was probably enjoying torturing and humiliating her!
Lemur continued, "Boss, I can confirm that Blotie did say so. Why don't you just tell us who was the man who took you away last night? Was it really like how Blotie guessed?"
"What was Blotie's guess?" Under normal circumstances, Silvia would not have cared much about what the others had said. However, she was extraordinarily anxious this time.
Prince and Lemur noticed her unusual behavior. They gave each other a knowing look and Lemur spoke, "Blotie guessed that the man was your boyfriend."
"What boyfriend! When did Blotie that woman learn to talk nonsense? How could she say so without any evidence?" Silvia was a little guilty because their guess was spot on. As she spoke, she had instinctively raised her tone, trying to make them believe her.
"That's alright. You knew that Blotie would never talk nonsense." Prince took out his mobile phone and tapped on the photo gallery. Then, he tapped on one of the photos and said, "Boss, look."
"Wha... What?" Silvia couldn't believe her eyes. Was she really the woman in the photo, who was kissing Andrew while holding his chin?
It certainly wasn't her! Certainly! Definitely not her!
Silvia quickly deleted the photo from the phone, trying to destroy the evidence, so that no one could say that the woman in the photo was her.
Prince said, "Boss, you can't delete all the photos though. Who is that man anyway? Why are you so worried about him that you won't let us see him?"
Who said that she was worried about him?! In fact, she didn't want to have anything to do with him.
Silvia thought for a while and said, "This picture looks fake. At one glance, I could tell that it was photoshopped. Tell me, where did you get this picture from?"
"A customer at Starie Blotie took it. Blotie gave the customer some money and asked her to delete the photo." Prince walked closer towards Silvia. "Boss, can you please tell us already? Who is this man?"
"I don't know him at all, so how would I know who he is? Stop being so nosy, and let's head back to class now." Silvia denied in an instant. She didn't want anyone, especially Prince and Lemur, to know about Andrew's existence or the fact that she and Andrew were actually a married couple.
Lemur and Prince followed behind Silvia. "Boss, it's been three months since Felix passed away..."
Silvia stood still. She looked back and stared at them fiercely. "He's not dead, he will not die. He's still alive."
Lemur said, "Well, let's just say that he's not dead. But where has he gone for the past three months? I think no matter where he went, he could have sent a message to tell you where he was, right?"
"He..." Silvia wanted to defend Felix, but she couldn't find any reason to speak for him.
Prince and Lemur were right, if Felix was still alive, he would have sent her a message, unless...
Silvia did not dare to think deeply about it. She only had to believe that Felix was still alive and that he would return someday.
Lemur said again, "Boss, we are not trying to meddle with your personal life, but we just want to tell you that you are an adult, and you are single, too. You are free to date any man you like."
"Any man I like?" The man she liked was Felix. They had started dating a few months ago, but... Forget it, Silvia waved her hand to interrupt Lemur's words, "What about Audrey? Did you two send her home last night?"
Prince replied, "Yeah, we did. When we arrived at her house, Lemur and l were almost dragged into her house by her. Fortunately, we were quick enough to escape from her evil hands."
Silvia did not believe what Prince had said. ”Escape? Just say that you were dying for her to drag you into her house, okay?"
"Huh... The truth is, she did not drag me into her house. Instead, she almost hit me in the face." Prince thought of taking advantage of Audrey, who was already drunk. However, just when Audrey had stepped into her house, she immediately slammed the door shut and it almost hit his nose.
Silvia laughed. "You deserved it though!"
On the way to the classroom, there were always some students who would look at Prince, Lemur, and Silvia with a strange gaze. "What are they looking at? This is not the first time that the three of us have entered the campus together though.“
Lemur said, "Let's go grab one of them and ask."
Silvia said, "Forget it. Don't bother about them. Let them do whatever they want. It won't affect us anyway."
In the past, Silvia would have ordered Prince and Lemur to grab one of those students and demand an explanation. Therefore, Prince and Lemur were extremely surprised to hear what Silvia had just said. She had actually asked them to forget about it.
Silvia smiled, "Why are you two still standing there? Let's go."
If she could endure the tricks that Andrew had played on her, then those gossips would be nothing to her. She was just too lazy to bother about them.
Prince said, "No. I mean, something is not right with you, Boss."
Silvia asked fiercely, "Do you think that I'm only normal if I get into fights and quarrel with others?"
"Yes." Prince and Lemur nodded simultaneously. Silvia gave each of them a slap on their backs and said, "It seems like the two of you want me to teach you a lesson, huh?!"
Just as Silvia was rolling up her sleeves, a member of the student union called her, "Silvia, Professor Bell has asked you to go over to his office to see him."
Silvia recognized this guy. He used to hang out with Felix, and they had even gone out for supper together.
She asked, "Lyle, which Professor Bell are you referring to?"
Lyle replied, "How many Professor Bells are there on campus? Of course, it's the one that we all know."
Prince exclaimed, "Boss, the Golden Lion King is looking for you?"
Professor Bell's name was Alston Bell, and it happened that he had the same name as a novel character. Coupled up with his strict teaching, the students had secretly given him a nickname called the "Golden Lion King“.
CHAPTER 1125
Lemur was also puzzled. "Boss, we didn't enroll in any of Golden Lion King's classes though, why is he asking to see you?"
Silvia nodded and looked at Lyle, "That's right. I've totally forgotten that I'm not taking his classes, so why is he looking for me?"
Lyle said, "Professor Bell is famous for being strict. Most of the students who were asked to see him at his office will come out crying, so no matter what the reason he had asked for you was, you’d better be mentally prepared for it."
"Huh...|t's not like he could eat people." Silvia had heard many rumors about Professor Bell, but she was not afraid of him. She didn't take any of his class anyway.
Silvia was not worried about meeting Professor Bell. She would go if he had asked for her. However, Prince was worried so he reached out his hand and stopped her. "Boss, the Golden Lion King is probably scarier than what we hear in the rumors. Let's not be rash. We should find out why he was looking for you and be fully prepared before meeting him."
Silvia flung Prince's hand off, "I'm not sure if he would scold students without any reasons, but I know that if I'm late, it would definitely be my mistake."
Prince rushed up to Silvia once again to stop her. "Boss, why don't you think about it again? Have you offended him in any way but you didn't realize it?"
Speaking of the word 'offend', Lemur suddenly recalled an incident. "Boss, isn't the campus belle, Alina, the Golden Lion King's niece?"
"So what? It's not like their family owns University A. I don't believe that he could actually expel me just because his niece hates me." Silvia gave them a reassuring smile, "Just relax, okay? He can’t do anything to me."
Prince and Lemur followed behind her. "Boss, we are still worried about it. Although his family does not own University A, nor is he the one who has the final say, but he's still a professor here. He's still capable of making life difficult for you."
"That's true." Silvia slapped them on the back again. "But I believe in our university even more. I believe that our professors will be professional and won't act out of their personal interests. On top of that, we're here in a university. Even if he really wants to do anything to me, he won't actually dare to do it."
However, Prince and Lemur were still worried. "Boss.."
Silvia waved her hand. "Let's stop talking about this. We won't get the answer why he's looking for me if we continue to dawdle here anyway. I‘ll go find out myself."
Prince and Lemur couldn't persuade Silvia to stay, so they could only watch her leave. "Boss, be careful, okay?"
Silvia was famous throughout University A for being a problematic student. She was frequently summoned to the professors' offices during her two years there. Therefore, she had no difficulty in finding Professor Bell‘s office at all.
She knocked on the door, and it was not until she had heard Professor Bell asking her to enter that she had pushed the door open and stepped into the office.
Silvia stood by the door and said respectfully, "Professor Bell, did you ask for me?"
It was true that she was a problematic student, but she still respected her teachers and elders, therefore she was extremely polite whenever she spoke to the professors.
Professor Bell was sitting at his desk, leafing through some documents. He was ignoring Silvia's presence.
Silvia waited quietly for Professor Bell to finish with his work. Once he was done, he would naturally speak about why he had asked for her.
It took quite a while for Professor Bell to complete his work. He raised his gaze from the pile of documents and looked at Silvia. He frowned as he said, "So, you're Silvia Turner?"
Silvia nodded. ”Yes, I am, Professor."
Professor Bell immediately pointed at her and started criticizing. "Who said that you can come into my office dressed like this? Also, is that how you should talk to your lecturers?"
What was wrong with the way she dressed? Silvia wondered.
Silvia looked down at her outfit. Besides the slightly bright colors, there was nothing inappropriate about her clothes. She was not very sure what Professor Bell was referring to.
As for her tone, she was polite and respectful. She didn't think there was any problem.
Although she was dissatisfied, she did not refute. All she did was raise her brows in confusion.
Silvia remained silent while Professor Bell continued to yell, "Just take a look at yourself. Do you even look like a student? This is an educational institution, not a place for you to prove your influence. The reason why the quality of the students in University A had become so poor is because of a bunch of lawless people like you."
Before meeting Professor Bell, Prince and Lemur had repeatedly reminded Silvia to be careful of him. They had been saying how terrible the Golden Lion King was, but Silvia did not expect that he would start scolding her the moment he saw her.
He criticized her dressing, her attitude, and even said that she had no manners. Silvia had often received such criticisms so she didn't bother to argue with him.
However, as a professor, Alston Bell had actually said that she was a lawless person. Having to listen to such personal attacks, Silvia could no longer bear it anymore.
Silvia was a hot-tempered person. She shouted, “Professor Bell, is there anything wrong with the way I dress or the way I speak? Also, what do you mean by 'a bunch of lawless people like us'?"
Silvia refuted loudly, and her aura was extremely overwhelming which Professor Bell had not expected at all. He was dumbfounded, and then said, "You...“
Silvia interrupted him, "Even if there was a problem with us, that is your problem. As a professor, you don't even have any respect for your students at all, and you still expect them to respect you?"
“You have quite a glib tongue, huh?! It seems like the rumors about your disrespecting your elders and ostracizing your peers were true after all." Professor Bell looked at Silvia with a fierce look. "How can a person like you be a student at University A?"
Silvia said with a smile, "I'm afraid I would have to apologize, Professor Bell! I'm a student at University A, and before I graduate, I‘ll not go anywhere else."
Professor Bell slammed his hand on the desk and said ferociously, "Well, then let me tell you. I don't care what kind of inappropriate relationship you have outside of school, but I will definitely not allow a student like you into my class."
"What do you mean by 'inappropriate relationship'? Also, who said that I want to be in your class? Please make yourself clear." Silvia had finally experienced the meaning of being unreasonable.
At that instant, she realized that it was useless to argue with such a person.
Professor Bell slammed his hand on the table once again and said, "If you don't want to be in my class, then you should go tell the chancellor personally. Don't ever let me see you appearing in my class."
"The chancellor? You've really overestimated me, Professor Bell. Do you really think that the chancellor would have so much spare time to take care of such a trivial matter?" Silvia sneered. She turned around and walked to the door. As she arrived at the door, she halted her footsteps and looked back. "Professor Bell, remember that you're a professor and not some hooligan out there."
A professor!
In Silvia's heart, a professor was a high and mighty person. An individual who was worthy of respect. However, Professor Bell was really an eyeopener.
He had made her understand that a person's profession did not define one's personality.
Walking out of the office, the sound of a mug breaking resonated in Silvia‘s ears. It seemed that her words had made Professor Bell fly into a rage.
