Chapter 809

A Beauty With Multiple Masks

“Wendy Greene,” said Marcus. “You‘re proficient enough in Ustranasion, so why don‘t you go on and
show Arron around the campus?”

“Who? Me?” Wendy pointed to herself in a mixture of surprise and delight as she asked.

“Yes. You.”

It must have slipped the mind of the scattered–brain Marcus how Wendy‘s hiccup with her translation
work the last time nearly cost the school the contract to Maxwell University‘s advanced mathematics
lesson plan.

For some inexplicable reason, Wendy started to get butterflies in her stomach. She clasped her hands
tightly and made her way over to Aaron amidst the envious looks cast her way by her female peers.

She did feel a sliver of discontent against Aaron when she heard him mention Arielle, but it did not matter
in the end as she enjoyed basking in the attention and envy of others.

Wendy stopped in front of Aaron wearing the most punctilious smile possible before she addressed him
genially. “Well, Aaron, please follow me.”

“After you then, beautiful,” replied Aaron as he arched his head back to instruct his bodyguard to take the
helicopter off the grounds.

The language in which he spoke was one which Wendy had never encountered before and that
prompted her inquisitiveness. “Where are you from, Aaron?”

“That doesn‘t seem to be any of your concern now, does it?” answered Aaron with a wry smile.

The cold glint that flashed across his eyes as he spoke made Wendy jump. “I‘m sorry for being nosy.”



“No worries. Please lead the way.” In an instant, Aaron reverted to his sensual, charming self, and that
caused Wendy to believe that she might have been mistaken.

The two of them then walked off into the distance and away from the longing eyes in the crowd.

One of the girls in the class muttered, “Isn‘t Wendy a little too lucky? It wasn‘t that long ago that Jason
slipped her a name card. Now, she‘s tasked to show the new transfer student around…”

The other students did not know the actual reason why Jason passed his card along to Wendy and did
not catch Aaron‘s mentioning of Arielle either. Hence, they simply assumed that Wendy had Venus‘ smile
upon her.

With Aaron‘s departure, the discussions that revolved around him wound to a close, and the students
dispersed afterward.





Marcus was prepared to leave for the day as well as he wanted to head home and celebrate the addition
of this new gymnasium that day over some beer and small bites.

Seeing that the principal was about to depart, Donovan immediately caught up with him.

“Mr. Brown!”

Marcus stopped in his tracks and looked to be in a significantly less buoyant mood than what he started
with on a dime.

“Why? Have you decided to quit after all?” asked Marcus blandly.

“No. It’s nothing like that.“ Donovan gritted his teeth, unable to contain his own bewilderment. “I don‘t

understand this, Mr. Brown. Back then, it was you who offered me a generous remuneration package to
teach here. Why are you trying to drive me off now?”

With his hands held behind his own back, Marcus regarded the man sternly. “Let me clarify this for you. I
wasn‘t the one who‘s driving you off. It‘s you who wanted to leave. Also, when I made the offer before, I
was under the impression that I would be hiring Donovan Baxter, the outstanding graduate from Maxwell
University‘s Institute of Education, and not you, the diploma holder who hasn‘t even been awarded the
graduation certificate you supposedly got from there.”

Donovan‘s face fell.

“You‘ve already known? Who was the one who told you that? Was it Arielle? It has to be her because
she has never shown any fondness for me!”

He hated Arielle to the core inside but Marcus merely shook his own head in disappointment.

“You‘ve mistaken. No one came to me about this. It was after that fiasco involving Queenie and yourself
that I went through your file and found out about it on my own.”

Donovan was stumped and briefly found himself at a loss for words.

Marcus continued, “I‘ve put up with your deception of the school because I know that there‘s an off
chance you might still be able to earn your paper qualifications. However, you‘ve repeatedly made one
mistake after the other, demonstrated your inability to treat the studies fairly, and even threatened me just
now. Truly, I find all of that to be extremely lamentable. Go on and leave if you want to, Donovan. On the
account of your parents, I will not expose the fact that you did not even receive your teaching
credentials.”
