At this time, Silas’s cell phone suddenly rang. As soon as he saw the name on the caller ID, he answered the call with an angry look on his face. He also turned on the speaker on his cell phone without any hesitation!
“F*ck! Jayden, where were you? Didn’t you already agree to come to Mountain Top Villa with Jacelyn tonight? Why? Did the two of you go to open a room?” Silas asked as he cursed at him.
“Don’t talk about it, Silas. I caused a huge catastrophe today and was beaten half to death by my dad. My mom just finished applying some medication for me!”
“What? Uncle Scott has always spoiled and doted on you, yet he actually beat you up today? Did you do something terrible or did you do something to offend the Crawford family?”
“I don’t know who I provoked today. However, how could I possibly have offended the Crawford family? I am not stupid. To tell you the truth, I simply had a conflict with some of the guys from the Department of Language and Literature today. Do you know that Jane also hit me just because I offended someone called Mr. Benjamin Langdon from the Department of Language and Literature? Jacelyn also knows who he is!”
“F*ck! Mr. Benjamin Langdon? Why haven’t I heard of him before? Jane beat you up because of him?” Silas could not help but feel a little confused. What was going on today?
“Wait a minute. Who are you talking about? Benjamin? Are you sure that Jacelyn knows them too?”
These words made Alice’s body tremble a little.
She leaned over as she spoke over the phone.
“By the way, Alice, you should know them too. That woman, Jacelyn, told me that you often associate with people from their dormitory! What is that Benjamin’s background? D*mn it! He is simply too powerful!”
“Well, if it’s the same Benjamin I know of, then I know for certain that he is just a pathetic jerk who has no money or power at all. How could he possibly cause such a huge sensation?”
“Who said no? I also checked it out again. Benjamin has no background at all and his family is actually suffering to make ends meet. The only good thing about their family is that there was someone who actually did very well in the civil examinations in the past. That’s all! I really do not understand why my father is beating me up like this!”
Jayden had even investigated and turned over Benjamin’s full family background and history as he felt that things were simply too unclear.
Alice paused at this time. She seemed to have thought of something. She did not want to ask about that person, but she couldn’t help it.
Alice asked solemnly, “Jayden, let me ask you something. Was there a guy named Gerald by Benjamin’s side today?”
