Chapter 23
| quickly hugged Jane back tightly. "That's nonsense. You won't die. Even if you don't trust the doctors, don't you
trust me?
"I'm saying that you will not die, so that actually means that you will not die!"
Jane held ontoand continued sobbing until she fell asleep from being worn out. Then, | lowered her gently
onto the bed.
| sighed. She was going through too much suffering.
Once she underwent surgery successfully, | would make her my godsister and have her move into my place to
enjoy life as a rich lady.
With a heavy heart, | returned to the dorm. Though, | couldn't get the image of Jane's sobbing face out of my
mind.
| could hear swhispering sounds coming from beside me. Right as | lifted my head, | spotted Matthew, Liam,
and Benjamin huddling together and whispering to one another.
"What are you three talking about?"

After being gaslit by Zack and Louis for a long period, for a split second, | was even suspecting them of talking
behind my back.
Matthew gestured toto go over. In a soft voice, he shared, "We're talking about Charlotte."
| wasn't too interested in that, but | asked casually, "What's up with her?"
In a mysterious tone, Matthew asked, "Do you remember that she splashed a drink on a wealthy man's face last
night?"
I nodded. "I remember."
Truth be told, I did admire her at the time. At the very least, she wasn't like most women who didn't know what
to do the moment they met a man with a Rolex watch.
Matthew said, "That man isn't an average Joe. He's a scion of Arnoult Group!"
Benjamin and Liam gasped. "I really didn't expect that a scion like him would cto a bar near our campus.
Shouldn't he be going to one of those classier bars?"
Matthew remarked smugly, "Of course you people wouldn't know that. No doubt he chere to pick up college
women. It's only at small bars like this that he would have a chance to pick up virgins."
"Hold on," | chimed in and directed the conversation back to its main point.
"You've veered off from earlier. That man is a scion of Arnoult Group. And then?"
Matthew scoffed. "What else can there be? Charlotte splashed a drink on him. Of course he would teach her a
lesson!
"I heard that he instructed dozens of people to trash the hotel run by Charlotte's family last night itself. Not only
was the place destroyed completely, Charlotte's father even sustained an injury to his eyes.
"Plus, that man threatened to incapacitate her father and rape Charlotte herself. She was so terrified that she
didn't dare to go to her classes today. She has been hiding in her dorm the entire time."
"He's not a scion of Arnoult Group. He's just a hooligan!"
Benjamin and Liam widened their eyes in shock.
Matthew harrumphed. "He used to run a karaoke business, the kind that has female escorts. After that, he wasn't
able to continue running that business as there were changes in that field.
"So, he opened a company of his own. What do you think he is?"

Upon hearing that, | understood it immediately. Arnoult Group was run by someone who used to work in the
underground world.
Indeed, it was difficult to get away once someone like this had been offended.
Fearfully, Liam gulped. "Oh my goodness. In that case, is Charlotte done for?"
Matthew sighed. "I can only say that she's more or less done for."
"Can't Charlotte apologize and compensate that man?"
Matthew shook his head. He had a solemn look on his face.
"Charlotte wouldn't be crying her eyes out until now if it were that easy to negotiate with him. | will be frank with
all of you. He has given her an offer.
"He wants her to spend a night with him. Not only that, she's not allowed to resist no matter what he does to her.
Otherwise, he will go teach her father a lesson tonight."
Suddenly, Benjamin slammed the table, making the three of us jump.
With a righteous expression on his face, he exclaimed, "That's ridiculous! It was just a drink. Does he have to go
to that extent? How about we go over to protect Charlotte?"
