Murphy had been prepared and dished out the explanation he had already come up with.
“You have no idea, Mr. Zephyr. That kid doesn’t just not match the age, but his results are forged as well. Hah, it’s with consideration of his pride that his admission is canceled with the reason of age. After all, it’d sound worse saying that his results are forged!”
“Weren’t there supervising teachers when he took the tests?”
“There were, but—”
“But you insist on imposing the blame on him,” said Zephyr with emphasis. “So whatever he does is wrong!”
The reaction was exactly what Murphy was expecting. He smiled lightly, hoping that Zephyr’s reaction could be bigger. This way, he could take the chance of recovering Carter’s admission to bring up the marriage between the Tanners and the Hamertons.
Although he did not know what Carter’s relationship was with Zephyr, he must be someone important to the latter since he came to him.
Murphy straightened up and looked triumphant.
Zephyr spoke clearly with a cold gaze, “Mr. Tanner, I’ve asked you here today truly because I need your help with Carter’s case. After all, he’s an excellent student who’ll contribute to the country in the future.”
“Yes,” Murphy replied with a grin. “Absolutely!”
“So you’ll help with this?”
“There are ways, but…” Murphy looked thoughtful. “Who’s this Carter Irwin to you, Mr. Zephyr?”
Zephyr’s hand that had been toying with his lighter paused. He smirked without the smile reaching his eyes. He knew that Murphy would ask this and had also been waiting for it!
Murphy would definitely probe his relationship with Carter and then contemplate before he made a decision that would benefit him the most.
“Carter Irwin doesn’t have any relationship with me.” Zephyr’s expression was indifferent, but his eyes seemed to say otherwise.
Murphy froze.
“It’s a favor asked of me too.” Zephyr pretended to be secretive. “Mr. Irwin has a significant background, but he’s usually low-profile, and his family forbids him from revealing his identity, so he said nothing.
