Five Years Wasted Now They Beg Her Back novel Chapter 547

It was the former headmaster of Apex University—Quentin Zollinger.

"Mr. Zollinger," Damien greeted, leading Grace over by the hand.

"Well, if it isn't Damien." Quentin set his book down and stood up with a warm smile. His gaze landed on their joined hands, his expression turning knowing. "Is this the wife you've been hiding away from the world?"

Damien's lips curved upward. He pulled Grace a little closer, his face full of pride.

"She is. Her name is Grace Hart."

"Grace, this is Mr. Zollinger."

Grace gave a polite nod. "It's an honor to meet you, Mr. Zollinger."

"The pleasure is mine."

Quentin studied Grace, his eyes both kind and sharp with wisdom.

"She's a good girl. Honest eyes. You got lucky, kid."

"Of course." Damien wasn't the least bit modest. "Could a woman I chose be anything less than extraordinary?"

Quentin chuckled and shook his head. "Alright, enough bragging. I know you wouldn't visit without a reason. Out with it. Why did you bring your wife to see this old man?"

Damien didn't beat around the bush.

"Mr. Zollinger, we want to ask about someone."

"Who?"

"A visiting professor at Apex University Medical School over twenty years ago... Silas Sheridan."

At the mention of that name, Quentin's brow instantly furrowed.

Grace's heart leapt into her throat.

It seemed Cassian was right.

Silas Sheridan was definitely not just a passing figure.

"Silas Sheridan..." The older man murmured the name, his tone unreadable.

It carried a mix of regret and an inexplicable wariness.

"Why are you suddenly asking about him?"

Quentin put his glasses back on, his gaze turning sharp.

"That's not exactly a pleasant piece of history."

Grace's pulse spiked, her palms growing slick with cold sweat.
