Chapter 1020

Something Going On

Jared had confusion written all over his face. “What was that all about?”

Henry had noticed Trisha as well and shifted his gaze back and forth between Jared and Trisha.

Unable to resist his curiosity, he wrapped an arm around Jared’s shoulder and asked nosily, “Hey, are
you hiding something from me?”

“What are you talking about?” Jared questioned in confusion.

“Don’t play dumb with me! Come on, out with it!” Henry winked at Jared like he had already figured out
his secret.

It was not until he saw the genuine cluelessness on Jared’s face that Henry decided to spell it out for
him. “Is there something going on between you and Trisha?”

Having understood what Henry was going on about, Jared frowned as he asked, “How is that
possible?”

“I saw you two having supper by yourselves when I came back last night. You two looked just like a
couple on a date! Tell me, are you into her?”

“Enough with that crap, man!” Jared shoved Henry off before continuing with a stern expression, “I
can’t date anyone right now. All I want is to focus on getting into Maxwell University so I can help my
brother support the family in the future.”

Grandpa isn’t getting any younger, and some of his men are already coveting his wealth and power.
Who knows what’ll happen in the family once he’s gone?



“Then why did Trisha run off the moment she saw you?” Henry asked curiously.

“I don’t know, but there’s nothing going on between us because we’re not dating at all. We were going
to invite Boss for supper last night, but… Boss was a little busy, so it was just the two of us,” Jared
replied while walking toward the classroom.

Henry scratched his head. “All right, then. Damn, I was expecting to hear some juicy gossip. I guess
you’re right. Trisha isn’t your type. You probably prefer girls like Boss, don’t you?”

Upon hearing that, Jared paused in his tracks and shot Henry a glare as he said, “Shut your mouth.
You’ll doom us both if you keep saying stuff like that!”

Henry went pale instantly and held a hand over his mouth while making a zipping motion with the other.

The two of them then headed over to the lecture hall together, as they both had the same class.

This time, however, Jared sat in the first row while Henry sat in the last row.

Being content with what he had, Henry was not really ambitious and lived a carefree life, just waiting to
graduate and inherit his family’s wealth.

Upon arrival at the principal’s office to get her withdrawal procedures done, Arielle heard Marcus
excitedly discussing the exam results with Jared’s new homeroom teacher.

“Another perfect score? Looks like I’ve found the right person this time!”

She was about to knock on the door when Marcus spotted her and stood up to welcome her. “Hello,
Arielle! Come, I’ll pour you some tea!”

“No need to trouble yourself, Mr. Brown. I’m here to get my withdrawal procedures done,” Arielle said
while waving at him.



Marcus froze for a moment before clearing his throat as he asked, “Are you still mad about yesterday,
Arielle? I’ll consider firing Mr. Baxter if you stay!”

Shaking her head, Arielle replied with a wry smile, “I’m not mad, Mr. Brown. I no longer have a reason
to stay here, that’s all.”

She was never there to study to begin with.

Having found some clues about the man in the photograph and confirmed that he had nothing to do
with Jadeborough University, she no longer had a reason to stick around.

Realizing that she had already made up her mind, Marcus had no choice but to prepare her withdrawal
forms.

While waiting, Arielle’s gaze fell upon the exam papers on Marcus’ desk.
