Chapter 1020 Something Going On
Jared had confusion written all over his face. “What was that all about?”
Henry had noticed Trisha as well and shifted his gaze back and forth between Jared and Trisha.
Unable to resist his curiosity, he wrapped an arm around Jared’s shoulder and asked nosily, “Hey, are you hiding
something from me?”
“What are you talking about?” Jared questioned in confusion.
“Don’t play dumb with me! Come on, out with it!” Henry winked at Jared like he had already figured out his secret.
It was not until he saw the genuine cluelessness on Jared’s face that Henry decided to spell it out for him. “Is there
something going on between you and Trisha?”
Having understood what Henry was going on about, Jared frowned as he asked, “How is that possible?”

date! Tell me, are you into her?”
“Enough with that crap, man!” Jared shoved Henry off before continuing with a stern expression, “I can’t date
anyone right now. All I want is to focus on getting into Maxwell University so I can help my brother support the
family in the future.”
Grandpa isn’t getting any younger, and some of his men are already coveting his wealth and power. Who knows
what’ll happen in the family once he’s gone?
“Then why did Trisha run off the moment she saw you?” Henry asked curiously.
“I don’t know, but there’s nothing going on between us because we’re not dating at all. We were going to invite
Boss for supper last night, but… Boss was a little busy, so it was just the two of us,” Jared replied while walking
toward the classroom.
Henry scratched his head. “All right, then. Damn, I was expecting to hear some juicy gossip. I guess you’re right.
Trisha isn’t your type. You probably prefer girls like Boss, don’t you?”
Upon hearing that, Jared paused in his tracks and shot Henry a glare as he said, “Shut your mouth. You’ll doom us
both if you keep saying stuff like that!”
Henry went pale instantly and held a hand over his mouth while making a zipping motion with the other.
The two of them then headed over to the lecture hall together, as they both had the same class.
This time, however, Jared sat in the first row while Henry sat in the last row.
Being content with what he had, Henry was not really ambitious and lived a carefree life, just waiting to graduate
and inherit his family’s wealth.
Upon arrival at the principal’s office to get her withdrawal procedures done, Arielle heard Marcus excitedly
discussing the exam results with Jared’s new homeroom teacher.

She was about to knock on the door when Marcus spotted her and stood up to welcome her. “Hello, Arielle! Come,
I’ll pour you some tea!”
“No need to trouble yourself, Mr. Brown. I’m here to get my withdrawal procedures done,” Arielle said while waving
at him.
Marcus froze for a moment before clearing his throat as he asked, “Are you still mad about yesterday, Arielle? I’ll
consider firing Mr. Baxter if you stay!”
Shaking her head, Arielle replied with a wry smile, “I’m not mad, Mr. Brown. I no longer have a reason to stay here,
that’s all.”
She was never there to study to begin with.
Having found some clues about the man in the photograph and confirmed that he had nothing to do with
Jadeborough University, she no longer had a reason to stick around.
Realizing that she had already made up her mind, Marcus had no choice but to prepare her withdrawal forms.
While waiting, Arielle’s gaze fell upon the exam papers on Marcus’ desk.
