While pulling a long face, Donovan transferred the money to Henrick’s bank account. He hurriedly left
after informing Marcus.
The latter did not stop him. After Marcus placed his bouquet in front of Shandie’s portrait, he pulled
Arielle. “Arielle, I’m also responsible for this. I didn’t keep a better eye on your teacher, and it has caused
so many misunderstandings between both of you. I’ll make him apologize to you in school. I hope that
this doesn’t affect your studies. If you have any other problems and you’re unwilling to talk to Mr. Baxter
about it, you can talk to me.”
Arielle knew that Marcus was a nice person. She replied, “All right. Thank you, Mr. Brown. After Mr.
Baxter apologizes to me, I’ll forget about this issue. I just hope that he’ll stop finding fault with me.”
Marcus nodded before he said, “Of course. I’ll talk to him about this. I promise that nothing like this will
ever happen again. If this happens again, I’ll take serious actions against him.”
Arielle paused for a while before she questioned, “What do you mean by serious actions?”
Marcus furrowed his brows as he answered, “If this happens again, it’ll prove that he’s not suitable for his
job. I’ll report him to Maxwell University so they’ll transfer him away.”
Arielle murmured her assent, “I understand. Oh, right. I need to ask you something.”
“What is it?” Marcus asked readily.
After glancing around, Arielle felt relieved when she saw Henrick talking to other guests. Thus, she
asked, “Is there any male teacher who’s a foreigner at school? Around forty years old.”
“Foreigner?” Marcus pondered the question and shook his head. “No. There are only three teachers who
are foreigners. One of them is a woman, and the other two are older men.”
“What about a foreign student? A student who studied at our school many years ago. I think… in 2003.”
Helplessly, Marcus explained, “Every year, there are over tens of thousands of students studying in our
school. Certainly, there are many foreigners among them. Since you’re asking for a student from the past
years, I can’t remember all of them. I know that I was in the wrong this time, so I’ll make an exception
today and give you the key to enter the archives. You can find the person you’re looking for in the room
after class.”
Arielle’s eyes brightened. She nodded and exclaimed, “All right! Thank you, Mr. Brown!”
“You’re welcome. I owe this to you. Please don’t tell anyone about the incident with Kelsea. Otherwise,
it’ll ruin the school’s reputation.”
“I understand.” Once I find that man, I don’t have to study at Jadeborough University anymore. Also, I
won’t have to see Donovan again.
With that thought, she did not want to haggle over the matter.
Marcus felt relieved after Arielle agreed to his request. He gave Arielle the key to enter the archives
before he bid goodbye to Henrick and left.
Arielle watched Marcus walk away. Once he was out of sight, she lowered her head to look at the key in
her hand. She could not hide the smile on her face. Looks like meeting Donovan is a blessing in
disguise. Although he’s always giving me a hard time, I got this key because of him.
Thinking about that, she was secretly grateful to Donovan.
That was when Cindy came to the backyard.
Even while looking pale underneath her near-flawless makeup, she was still radiating an elegant aura.
Henrick had suppressed the news that Cindy was sent to the psychiatric hospital for some time.
Therefore, when she showed up, many wives from other prominent families started asking about her
wellbeing.
Cindy nodded as everyone consoled her.
Right at that moment, a woman said, “Don’t be too upset about it. She’s just an adopted child. If you
really miss her, adopt another girl and name her Shandie again.”
Cindy’s face turned paler upon hearing that.
