Janet indifferently said a word of thanks as she accepted the glass of water.
Robert felt very embarrassed. It was very difficult for him to bring the subject up. Thus, he hesitated for a long time before saying. “We may need to hold an internal discussion regarding the matter of Lynette Shields!”
She pursed her lips, lifted her gaze, and asked straightforwardly, “Why?”
“Lynette…” He stopped trying to hide anything from her and bluntly explained, “Her father and her uncle are both influential figures! Moreover, her uncle is a lecturer in the drama department of the performing arts school…”
Everybody knew that Fass only had one niece—Lynette. Moreover, he was extremely fond of her. Therefore, he would never accept her expulsion from the university! The meaning behind Robert’s words was to make Janet and Lynette meet each other halfway. Janet raised her eyebrows without expressing either agreement or disagreement. Her attitude was rather mystifying. As she glanced at the lit-up screen on her phone, her eyebrow twitched slightly.
Mason: ‘I heard from Mr. Goldstein that the university’s system has broken down and the video was lost. I’m rushing over to help you search for that person!’
Janet replied with ‘…’ to express her speechlessness. Then, she added: ‘It has been resolved. We found the culprit too. It’s just that… Mr. Goldstein claims that her family is quite influential and doesn’t dare to offend them!’
Mason chuckled at those words. ‘Is there anybody you don’t dare to offend? Are you making light of me, the Lowry Family, and the entire Lowry Family Conglomerate?’
In short, Mason wants me to be myself since I have him, as well as the entire Lowry Family, behind me! Janet laughed. She was just saying it for fun; it was a joke that was not to be taken seriously. To her surprise, he was serious about it. Leaning to the side, she smiled wickedly and lazily. ‘I’ll be waiting for you to come and support me!’
On the other side, Ronald was at the Shields Residence when he received the phone call from Lynette. Then, he hurriedly grabbed his suit and headed outside.
“Honey! You haven’t eaten yet!” Layla Leonard shouted after her panicking husband.
Now that things were in such a dire situation, he couldn’t care less about eating anymore. “Something came up with Lynette. She was crying on the phone!”
“What?!” Layla was so anxious that she was practically hopping on the spot. “What happened to Nettie? Was she bullied?”
I don’t know!” Ronald shook his head before leaving hurriedly. Several seconds later, he came back again and said, “Nettie said that it’s quite a huge deal. Let your brother know about this too!”
Immediately, Layla nodded in response. “Got it. I’ll contact him now!”
Fass drove a particularly ostentatious Rolls Royce 4S while Ronald drove a Porsche 5S. The two luxury cars arrived at Woodsbury University, one after another. They inevitably attracted the students’ attention. A moment later, a middle-aged man got out of the car. He had sharp facial features and a strong aura—he was not one to be trifled with.
Fass pushed his glasses up his nose. His voice had a classic accent to it. “I wonder which lunatic is it that dared to bully Nettie!”
Ronald got out of the car with his beer belly. He had a domineering expression and a loud voice. “Let’s go and find Nettie!” Nettie is the only daughter in the Shields Family. I will never allow anybody to bully her! Not even if I have to put my life on the line!
While Fass and the others were searching for Lynette, somebody happened to rush over from the opposite side. They glanced at Fass excitedly and agitatedly asked, “Are you Professor Leonard from the drama department of the performing arts school?”
