Chapter 129
Wanda’s lashes fluttered. The dean was suddenly transferring her to Class 2, and Carlisle was giving her the cold shoulder for no reason. It went without saying that Zachary and her father were behind this.
He answered almost immediately when she called Zachary. His tone was calm as he asked, “What’s
wrong?”
“Shouldn’t I be asking you that? Was it your idea, or was it Dad’s?” Wanda sounded lcy. She didn’t harbor any illusions that Zachary had nothing to do with this.
“Has Carlisle Zahn spoken to you?” Zachary chuckled.
“No, he hasn’t. And he won’t do it because you’re pressuring him!”
“I’m doing this for your own good, Wanda. He’s not worthy of you!”
“I’m the one who gets to decide whether or not he’s worthy of me. If you insist on splitting us up, I’ll hate you for life!” Wanda’s eyes turned red. Her voice became a little shaky toward the end of her sentence
“I never would’ve expected you to hate me because of an outsider. Zachary smiled self–deprecatingly.
Then, he lit a cigarette and took a drag. “But no matter how much you hate me, I’ll still stop you from being with him. You’ll understand why I’m doing this in the future.”
He hung up after that. This was also the first time he’d ever hung up on Wanda. Tears streamed down her
face.
Susan had overheard the conversation. She sat in Carlisle’s seat and said softly, “You and Carlisle are still young, Wanda. It’s not the right time for you two to be dating.
“Besides, it’s against the university’s rules for students to date before graduation.”
Wanda lowered her head, feeling like her heart was being ripped to shreds.
Just then, Carlisle messaged her. “Let’s split up for now, Wanda. Give me some time–I’ll soon make your brother and family acknowledge and accept me.
“I’ll study hard and turn my business into the best there ever was. I’ll think about you every day. You’re the only woman I’ll marry!”
Wanda’s tears flowed faster when she saw the messages. He was only 18, yet he had to bear so much pressure. And what would he do if his business failed?
As her tears continued flowing, she replied, “I’ll wait for you.”
Susan sighed to herself when she saw Wanda’s message to Carlisle. Just earlier, she’d found out about Wanda being Shein’s daughter
Carlisle probably came from a regular family, which would explain why the Thompson family was against him and Wanda being together.
Chapter 129.
Yet, Carlisle had made Wanda promises that were almost impossible to fulfill. If he wanted the Thompson family’s recognition, he would have to have several million dollars in the bank.
A university professor’s average salary w
around 750 dollars a month, which amounted to only nine
thousand dollars annually if one didn’t spend a single cent.
So, Susan didn’t think Carlisle and Wanda had a future together.
Wanda packed her things and left. Everyone in the classroom watched her as they tried to guess what had happened.

up with Wanda?”
“No idea. Look at all the faculty members who came, though. She must’ve broken some rules or
something.”
“Stop with the guessing. I bet she got caught for secretly getting into a relationship!”
“Well, it’s not like she tried to hide it. Even a fool would be able to tell they were dating!”
Christine watched Wanda leave, feeling confused.
Was it really as everyone said? Did the fa
