Heartbreak Brings Mr. Right

“Mr.

Howard, Mr.

Lyons! What brings you two gentlemen here?”

The president immediately jumped up from his seat as soon as he saw the two unexpected visitors.

One of them was Emilio, the general manager of Vitality Entertainment, which had been funding Zrans University’s scholarship, and the other was Daniel Lyons, the minister of the Department of Education.

Why did these two big shots suddenly show up?

As Emilio strode into the office, he couldn’t help but steal a glance at Lindsey before sitting down on the sofa.

When he received a call from Domenic last night, he was surprised that someone as occupied as Domenic would suddenly concern himself with such matters.

With the recent hectic workload at the company, Emilio had planned to deal with this problem a few days later.

However, just now, Domenic called and demanded that he immediately resolve the issue or face being transferred overseas.

Frightened, Emilio quickly set everything aside and rushed to the president’s office together with Daniel.

So, when he saw Lindsey sitting in the office, he was utterly shell-shocked.

Did Domenic meddle in this matter for the sake of this woman?

Daniel took a seat on the sofa next to Emilio.

He glanced around and asked in a interrogative tone, “Mr.

Prescott, the Department of Education has received a report that the dean of your school, Ismael Ballard, is having an affair with a female student and that the student in question had been awarded the first prize of the national scholarship years in a row.

Is this true?”

“Well—” Flustered, the president looked to Ismael for help.

“Mr.

Ballard, explain yourself.

Is what he said true?”

Ismael’s face was as pale as a sheet.

He didn’t know how the minister of the Department of Education caught wind of his affair, let alone the general manager of the Vitality Entertainment!

But he knew the gravity of his situation; if it was confirmed to be true, his career would be over in the blink of an eye.

Now, he had to defend himself!

“Mr.

Lyons, that’s not true at all! I’ve always been fair in awarding scholarships.

”

“But I heard that Lindsey Stewart has consistently ranked first in terms of grades for the past three consecutive years, even far exceeding that of the student in second place, Nina Foster,” Daniel said coldly.

“However, you mentioned many times in Lindsey’s individual evaluation that she had bad conduct, which disqualified her from winning the first prize scholarship.

Today, I implore you to delve into precise details and shed light upon the true nature of her bad conduct.

”

Ismael wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, stammering, “I-I heard from other students that Lindsey had inappropriate relationships with more than one male student at a time, and that she was being kept by a rich man.

Such behavior and conduct seriously violates the school’s code of ethics, so I-“

“Mr.

Ballard, you can’t just base an evaluation on hearsay!” Daniel interrupted Ismael harshlyContent property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

.

“You have to provide evidence! Since that you said that you heard it from the other students, then I want you to summon those students here to confirm the story.

We must figure out when, where, and how they found out about their allegations against Miss Stewart.

If you can’t provide solid evidence, then we’ll get the police involved in the investigation.

We cannot leave any stone unturned; after all, the fate of a student is at stake.

”

Ismael was scared out of his wits.

He didn’t expect that Daniel would be so tough, demanding evidence left and right.

If the police came, he was screwed! Ismael didn’t dare to blurt any more lies.

He stood still, deathly pale, looking around nervously.

“Besides, I heard that there seems to be some kind of intimate relationship between Mr.

Ballard and the first-prize scholarship winner, Nina Foster.

” Emilio, who had been quiet this whole time, suddenly spoke.

The words “intimate relationship” were very subtle but effective, sending a hush over the whole office.

Biting her lip anxiously, Nina looked to Ismael for help, only to find that the latter looked as though he had seen a ghost.

He was completely dumbfounded!

“What’re you talking about?!” Ismael shouted, too panicked to keep his voice down.

“This is baseless slander-nothing more than a rumor!”

“Whether it’s slander or not, we’ll find out soon.

”

With a wave of Emilio’s hand, the assistant standing behind him suddenly turned on the laptop she brought with her, put it on the desk, and played a surveillance video.

Ismael and Nina froze in place.

In the video, they were feeding food to each other in a restaurant.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that they had a special relationship.
