Knowing that she had performed extremely well today, Sophia left backstage as soon as she finished packing up her belongings. Meanwhile, Stanley and Sean had gone out together to have some barbecue.
Sophia met up with Michael outside of campus and immediately went straight to the hospital. The punches she got from Richard were painful, and she needed a full body checkup to make sure everything was okay. Fortunately, the results showed that she only had a minor open wound and several loose teeth.
To make sure that they could win the lawsuit, Sophia had requested her doctor to make some amendments to her appraisal, saying that she would have died from the punch. After that, they went to the police station to make a transcript and contacted Calvin to file her claim. She was going to make sure that the Harpers would go bankrupt from the lawsuit.
On their way home, Sophia snuggled into Michael’s arms; she wanted some kisses from her idol to cheer herself up. Michael clung onto her and comforted, “I guess you were frightened today. Do you want to get freaky and shake off your fright?”
The moment Michael saw the way Sophia had been looking at him today, he instantly knew what she wanted. She wanted seduction in a suit! He decided to give her a one stop package in the car since Nathan had been sent home earlier; there was no one to disturb them now. Thoughtfully, Hale took the long way as he drove them home.
On the next day of the competition, the university had made a series of announcements on the bulletin board. While Sophia’s gorgeous photo was placed at the top of the board, there was also an official notice to expel Xyla and Richard as a disciplinary action.
Both of them had packed their belongings and left the university in humiliation. Richard never thought that he would leave the university he had worked so hard for in such a degrading manner. How ironic!
Once he left Bayside University, there was no place for him in domestic universities. If he were to apply for an overseas university, he wouldn’t be able to make it into a good university either; the only way for him was to retake the college entrance exam. He was the heir of the Harper Group; who would believe that he was a university drop out!
Since vehicles were not allowed to drive on the path from the university’s gate to the academic buildings, Xyla and Richard had to walk all the way to the gate. As they were walking out, they had no choice but to listen to the whispers from the passing students.
“It’s the shameless couple! Have they really been expelled?”
“They attacked the police in public! Do you know how serious this can be? How can Bayside University possibly allow them to stay?”
“Tsk! What a shameless couple! I wonder how many nasty things they’ve done behind-the-scenes? It’d be better for the university to expel them. Otherwise, the school’s reputation will be ruined by them one day!”
“We should stay away from them! They have venereal disease!”
As Xyla listened to the nasty comments, she felt like she was stuck in a frozen cave. She couldn’t believe that as the daughter of the Huff Family, she would be leaving Bayside University like this one day. Leaving Bayside University meant that she would not have any academic qualifications in the future.
Moreover, the one who had made her like this was being crowned as this year’s Miss Misty of Bayside University. That b*tch! How can a humble bloodline like her… How could she… Hatred had snapped the last bit of consciousness in her.
As they made their way toward the gate, Richard took a final glance at the university. No matter how reluctant he was, this was a place he would never be able to come back to! A voice came from behind suddenly when Richard was about to get into the car. “Huff! Harper! You forgot to bring your files.”
