Cultivate Wizard novel Chapter 15

“It's a long story.” Finneas let out a sigh.

“It's all right. Now that you're back, live your life to the fullest. If you encounter any difficulties, don't hesitate to tell me.” Simeon didn't probe any further.

Instead, he gave Finneas a reassuring pat on the shoulder, showing ample understanding, just as he had always done in the past.

Finneas hummed in acknowledgment, a wave of emotion uncontrollably rising within him. Once a teacher, always a teacher!

After the death of his parents, Simeon essentially became the elderly figure in his life.

Finneas didn't mind disregarding everyone else, but he held a deep regard for a select few.

At that moment, Simeon turned his gaze toward Alyssa and Kelly who were standing nearby. “Who are these ladies?”

With a smile, Finneas replied, “She's my sister, and this is her classmate.”

“Lyssie, this is my former professor—the best teacher I ever had,” Finneas introduced.

Upon hearing this, Alyssa and Kelly quickly stood up and greeted Simeon. “Nice to meet you, Professor O'Dorney!”

“Nice to meet you, Professor O'Dorney!”

“Hello!” Simeon nodded, revealing a benevolent smile.

The turn of events was not something Jayson had expected.

A hint of dissatisfaction flashed in his eyes. Professor O'Dorney is biased as usual! Even in Finneas' current messed-up state, he still speaks to him in such a nurturing tone.

Jayson felt Finneas didn't deserve such deference. In fact, he expected Simeon to show him more respect. Am I not as good as Finneas? I'm the chairman of a publicly traded company and a distinguished alumnus of the university! And my assets total a billion, not to mention the countless luxury cars and villas I own! What does Finneas have, other than his looks? What makes him superior to me?

With those thoughts in mind, Jayson let out a sigh. “Professor O'Dorney, I thought it would be nice for us to gather since it's not often we get to meet each other. I invited Finneas to join us for dinner, but he didn't seem too keen.”

“Is that so?” Simeon furrowed his brows, then turned to Finneas. “Finn, it's been a decade since we last met. Let's meet up and have a good chat, shall we? There are some things I'd like to discuss with you as well!”

“All right!” Finneas nodded, finally accepting the invitation.

Soon, they entered a private suite named the King Room on the top floor of Zesty Heat.

True to its reputation, this private suite was indeed the most luxurious in the restaurant. Spanning nearly a hundred square meters, it was equipped with all sorts of amenities, not to mention a team of five dedicated service staff!

Reserving the King Room without ordering any dishes alone would easily cost a few thousand!

“We're still waiting for a few more guests to join us. Why don't we sit down and chat for a bit first?” Jayson, taking the role of a gracious host, warmly welcomed the school leaders to take their seats with a smile.

Several school leaders gathered around Jayson, each wearing a smile and offering words of praise.

From their conversation, Finneas managed to glean some information.

Jacaster University, located on the outskirts of the city, was in the process of constructing a new independent college. The project was estimated to cost more than two hundred million dollars. However, they were short on funds, lacking around thirty million dollars. Thus, they were hoping for financial support from Jayson.

“Of course, I'm not just going to contribute a small amount. As an alumnus of Jacaster University, I can easily contribute thirty million.” Jayson spoke quite generously.

“What a generous man you are, Mr. Yowell!” Theodore exclaimed with laughter. “I knew it. I knew Mr. Yowell would be willing to help us fund our building project! Our school has indeed produced an outstanding alumnus!”

The other school leaders, too, responded with a chuckle as they spoke.

Sabrina, who was standing aside, couldn't help but marvel as she looked into Jayson's eyes. Over thirty million? That's not a small sum!

The fact that Jayson could produce such a large amount of cash without hesitation demonstrated his wealth.

Previously, Jayson had been persistently pursuing her. She didn't agree to date him right away, planning to observe him more before making a decision.

Having witnessed the scene before her now, she felt that she could give a relationship with Jayson a try.

“Hey, please don't flatter me! I simply did what I thought was necessary,” Jayson said, feigning modesty.

He felt gratified seeing how Finneas glared at him. Ha! Now you see the difference between us, huh, Finneas Lamorde? I can easily give away thirty million to the school. What about you? Can you even afford to contribute three thousand?

Finneas, who overheard their conversation, was bewildered for a moment. Kelly is such an interesting girl.
