Chapter 272


    Murphy had been prepared and dished out the exnation he had alreadye up with.


    “You have no idea, Mr. Zephyr. That kid doesn’t just not match the age, but his results are forged as


    well. Hah, it’s with consideration of his pride that his admission is canceled with the reason of age.


    After all, it’d sound worse saying that his results are forged!”


    “Weren’t there supervising teachers when he took the tests?”


    “There were, but—”


    “But you insist on imposing the me on him,” said Zephyr with emphasis. “So whatever he does is


    wrong!”


    The reaction was exactly what Murphy was expecting. He smiled lightly, hoping that Zephyr’s


    reaction could be bigger. This way, he could take the chance of recovering Carter’s admission to


    bring up the marriage between the Tanners and the Hamertons.


    Although he did not know what Carter’s rtionship was with Zephyr, he must be someone


    important to thetter since he came to him.


    Murphy straightened up and looked triumphant.


    Zephyr spoke clearly with a cold gaze, “Mr. Tanner, I’ve asked you here today truly because I need


    your help with Carter’s case. After all, he’s an excellent student who’ll contribute to the country in


    the future.”


    “Yes,” Murphy replied with a grin. “Absolutely!”


    “So you’ll help with this?”


    “There are ways, but…” Murphy looked thoughtful. “Who’s this Carter Irwin to you, Mr. Zephyr?”


    Zephyr’s hand that had been toying with his lighter paused. He smirked without the smile reaching


    his eyes. He knew that Murphy would ask this and had also been waiting for it!


    Murphy would definitely probe his rtionship with Carter and then contemte before he made a


    decision that would benefit him the most.


    “Carter Irwin doesn’t have any rtionship with me.” Zephyr’s expression was indifferent, but his


    eyes seemed to say otherwise.


    Murphy froze.


    “It’s a favor asked of me too.” Zephyr pretended to be secretive. “Mr. Irwin has a significant


    background, but he’s usually low-profile, and his family forbids him from revealing his identity, so he


    said nothing.


    “But that doesn’t mean he’s a target to be bullied!”


    Murphy’s heart began to drum as his brain worked quickly.


    “Mr. Tanner, think about it.” Zephyr chuckled. “If he was really rted to me, would I have to step up


    and do this? I have subordinates waiting to do this for me!”


    Murphy jolted as realization dawned on him.


    Zephyr was right. Who was he? Who in the whole Centrolis could ask for his favor?


    Did Carter have a military background!?


    Zephyr smiled and got up at the right time, patting Murphy on his shoulder.


    “Mr. Tanner, you have frequent encounters with this, so you must be more aware than me about the


    pros and cons involved… I hope you don’t make a big mistake! Hah, if Mr. Irwin’s family looks into


    this, I’m afraid the Hamertons will also be implicated!”


    “Mr. Zephyr…” Murphy stared at him in a daze. “Are you… telling the truth?”


    Zephyr did not answer his question but left him a meaningful smile.


    Murphy wiped his sweat. He could not totally believe what Zephyr said, but he could notpletely


    disregard it either. Nelly had just asked him to cancel Carter’s admission with an excuse so Zephyr


    would beg her and realize how great she was. He knew nothing aside from this!


    He could not call Nelly for a direct confrontation right now…


    If what Zephyr said was true, Nelly would have dug him his grave!


    Zephyr asked in a deep tone, “Mr. Tanner, have you made up your mind?”


    Murphy calmed himself down for the moment. Even though he was doubtful, he thought it was more


    important for him to keep his ce on the board of trustees!


    Moreover, he did not have to offend Zephyr just for his niece.


    If Carter Irwin had a military background, he would be making a huge mistake!N?velDrama.Org is the owner.
