Chapter 106
Shein calmly responded, “Do you need to ask me about something so trivial?”
Zachary sniffed and asked, “Should we kick him out of Riverland University?”
Shein chuckled softly. “If you dare to kick him out, Wanda will drop out immediately.”
After a moment of consideration, Zachary proposed, “What about putting pressure on his parents?”
Shein leaned back on the couch, closing his eyes to rest. “That’s up to you. Just make sure Wanda doesn’t find out it was you!”
At 4:00 pm, the cab pulled up at the entrance of Riverland University.
The driver handed Carlisle a business card with a friendly smile. “Hey, lad, I usually hang around near Riverland University. If you ever need a ride, just give me a call and book in advance!”
The driver was named Francis Gable. He seemed to be around 30 years old and drove smoothly. During their chat, he mentioned he was a retired soldier who had operated tanks in the military.
“Sure thing. I’ll keep that in mind!” Carlisle said, taking the card with a smile. Despite the driver’s earlier brusque manner, Carlisle found him friendly enough to consider hiring him as his personal driver in the future.
“Alright, see you later!” Francis noticed some students signaling for a cab and drove toward them.
Meanwhile, Carlisle spotted Mike chatting with a group of older students as they approached.
“Wanda, I’m heading back to the studio for a shower. Aren’t you meeting Lily Green for dinner? We can meet up later and head to Southdale together! Carlisle said before walking off.
Watching Carlisle walk away, Wanda felt puzzled. She wondered why Carlisle was in such a hurry to leave.
Annoyed, she headed toward the campus.
“Mike, this freshman is pretty cute with her glasses. She looks quiet and demure,” Kelvin Knox, one of Mike’s lackeys, commented with a grin.
Kelvin was aware of Zachary’s influential connections. After the humiliation he had endured, he was resolute about seeking revenge. Acknowledging his own powerlessness against Zachary, Kelvin believed that Mike might be a suitable candidate to confront him.
“What the hell, do you think I’m the type to go crazy over any girl?” Mike kicked Kelvin to the ground in frustration.
Kelvin landed right at Wanda’s feet.
Wanda feigned surprise and asked, “Kelvin, are you enjoying the cool ground?”
Kelvin glanced at Mike in confusion.
Chapter 105
The usually brazen Mike seemed different today.
Hey there, did I freak you out?” Mike greeted Wanda with a half–hearted smile.
Wanda took a moment to assess Mike and his group of older students. With their long hair and cigarettes tucked behind their ears, they looked every bit like troublemakers.
Considering Carlisle’s earlier reaction, she began to piece things together.
“I’m fine,” Wanda replied,flatly, then walked past Kelvin into the campus.
Kelvin got up from the ground. He chuckled lightly and teased, “Mike, are you trying to make a good impression on her?”
*hes
‘To hell with making a good impression,” he snapped, sending Kelvin down with another kick.
Back in her dorm, Wanda swapped out her phone battery and dialed Zachary’s number.
“Wanda, have you reached school yet?” Zachary’s voice was calmer now.
“Why’d you do that?” Wanda’s voice quivered with frustration.
“Do what?” Zachary sounded genuinely puzzled.
“Some guys attacked Carlisle when we got here. They said you put them up to it,” Wanda explained.
“Those idiots!” Zachary exclaimed.
Wanda’s heart sank. Her suspicions were confirmed.
It was no wonder Carlisle seemed so startled when he saw them earlier.
It seemed they had already confronted him before.
She wondered why he hadn’t told her about this.
Zachary awkwardly chuckled. “Look, Wanda, I just wanted them to keep an eye on you. I didn’t expect them to go after Carlisle. J’ll sort this out with them.”
