Humiliation
Wendy felt both jealous and humiliated. Arielle is definitely mocking me now.
However, she found that the other woman did not even spare her a glance but had fixed her gaze on
Terry, who was standing behind her.
“Shall we go together?”
“Sure!” he agreed without hesitation, sticking to Arielle’s side like glue.
The other students had never flown in a private jet before and so voiced their agreement as well.
Just then, Blake and Sasha appeared with luggage in hand.
“Mr. Nightshire sent us here to protect you, Ms. Moore.”
“Okay.” Arielle had grown accustomed to their company, so she readily agreed to it.
She then addressed the other bodyguards, “Please inform Vinson that Maxwell University has sent a
lecturer to pick me up, so I won’t be using the helicopter.”
“Understood.” They nodded but made no move to leave. It was obvious that they were waiting for her to
board the plane safely before leaving.
Arielle did not stop them. After all, it was out of Vinson’s concern for her.
“Let’s go,” she said to Terry and the others. Without sparing a glance at Wendy and Donovan, she led
all three of the students away.
The group left from another boarding gate under the protection of the bodyguards.
Donovan immediately called out to Terry and the others, but they had vanished at the boarding gate as
though they did not hear him.
But these are my students! Why are they listening to Arielle and only caring about her?
He stared in the direction where Arielle had left, angered and humiliated.
Beside him, Wendy was going mad with jealousy.
Previously, I was also surrounded by bodyguards. And it’s not as though I haven’t sat on private jets.
But now? I have no choice but to sit in the crowded economy class cabin with Donovan!
Her mind was in a mess at the thought that they were worlds apart. She felt a little unsteady on her
feet.
At that moment, the boarding announcement for her flight brought Wendy back to the present. Looking
at Donovan, who was also lost in thought, she said, “Mr. Baxter, we should board the plane now.”
Donovan regained his composure and remained silent as he boarded the plane.
As soon as they were in their seats, Wendy could no longer contain her curiosity. She asked, “Could
Arielle really be a graduate of Maxwell University, Mr. Baxter?”
“Impossible!” Donovan immediately disagreed. “I’m a student of this university, and it is very hard for
one to enter this institution, much less graduate. There are only a few Maxwell graduates in Chanaea,
and we have a group chat. If she really is one of us, there’s no way I don’t know her.”
“But…” Wendy still had her doubts. She bit her lower lip before asking, “If Arielle wasn’t a graduate of
Maxwell University, why would the university send a private jet to pick her up?”
“That’s because of Vinson!”
“Vinson?”
“Yes, he must’ve bribed his connections to maintain her dignity. Anything and anyone can be bought
with enough money. He’s definitely capable of doing such a thing.”
“But if that’s the case, Vinson wouldn’t have sent a helicopter.”
“That’s enough. In any case, it’s still impossible. You should do a few more of the practice questions I
gave you. We need to take another flight after this, and it’ll take eight hours before we land in
Lightspring. So make full use of this time.”
Donovan used this excuse to stop her from discussing it further.
He did not wish to ponder about those two conflicting issues. Or rather, he did not dare to.
When a person has the resolve to lie to themself, they will not be able to see the truth, no matter how
smart they are.
