Chapter 78


    Mr. Lawson grabbed Mrs. Lawson''s hand and warned in a low voice, "Can''t you tell that she''s


    Tobias'' woman? How dare you provoke her? Shut up!"


    The man was Tobias! Mrs. Lawson was taken aback.


    She was a woman in an upper- ss society. Although she did not know Tobias personally, she had


    heard about him before.


    "Well, it''s not that serious. It''s just a small fight between the kids." Mrs. Lawson forced a smile.


    In truth, Natalie''s kicknded Qasim in the hospital.


    However, the girl was Tobias'' woman, hence the Lawson family could only swallow their frustrations.


    Mr. Aaron knew that the man was exceptional but he did not expect him to be Tobias!


    He was shocked. Natalie was just an ordinary poor student, right? Every year, she would need to


    get a schrship to continue her studies. How could she have anything to do with Tobias?


    "Yes, yes, that''s right! It''s just a small misunderstanding between the students." Mr. Aaron could not


    afford to offend any of them, thus he decided to be the peacemaker.


    "A small misunderstanding?" Tobias stared at Mr. Aaron with a faint smile. The principal''s heart


    skipped a beat and he felt suffocated under pressure.


    Mr. Lawson stepped forward swiftly and said, "Natalie, it''s all my son''s fault. We were being


    unreasonable."


    He was reluctant to apologize. It was the first time he apologized to a girl who was his son''s age.


    Natalie could sense Mr. Lawson''s unwillingness.


    "If apologies ever do the trick, why do we still need the police?" Natalie asked.


    She would never forget that Mr. Lawson would have sent her to prison if Tobias did not appear.


    She was nearly humiliated by Qasim and his father was going to throw her in jail.


    Mr. Lawson was taken aback.


    He thought that the girl was young and simple-minded but his expectation was far from correct.


    "How dare you? We..." Mrs. Lawson was very infuriated. She was about to scold Natalie when she


    suddenly recalled that Tobias was around.


    She decided to hold back and swallow her angry remarks.


    "No matter what, you kicked my son. We won''t hold you responsible now, so what else do you


    want?" she could not help but venture in a low voice.


    Mr. Lawson immediately red at Mrs. Lawson.


    Tobias'' eyes were cold. "What you did leads to what you get. If nothing happened, then it wouldn''t


    result in any consequences. Well, shouldn''t we hold your son responsible for his actions?" Mr.


    Lawson was shocked. He knew that his son was at fault. If Tobias were to hold his son responsible,


    his son would be in deep trouble.


    He immediately exined, "Mr. Whitlock, it''s all my fault for not educating my son properly. I''ll


    definitely make it up to Natalie. Please don''t worry about it."


    Tobias turned to Natalie.


    Mr. Aaron tried to resolve the problem too. "Natalie, Qasim is a fellow schoolmate, right? Let''s just


    forget about it."


    If this matter were to escte, it would damage the university''s image.


    Natalie spotted Mr. Aaron''s pleading eyes.


    Although Mr. Aaron did nothing to help her this time, he used to treat her well. He would make sure


    that she received her schrship every year.


    She was grateful. Moreover, Mr. Lawson said that he would make it up to her.


    "Well, since you mentioned that you would make it up to me, let''s just forget it," Natalie said to Mr.


    Lawson, "I won''t get thrown in jail or expelled, right?"


    Mr. Lawson was very embarrassed. "Of course, it''s my fault for not educating my son."


    Natalie had nothing else to say. She left the principal''s office with Tobias.


    "Thank you."


    When no one was around, Natalie looked up and thanked Tobias sincerely.


    Tobias stared at Natalie quietly. "Thank you for helping me. You made me feel like someone


    important for once," Natalie added seriously.


    Naturally, she understood that Qasim''s parents and even Mr. Aaron changed their minds because of


    Tobias.


    "Why were you here?" Natalie asked again after Tobias remained silent.


    From N?velDrama.Org.


    They strolled around the campus. Everyone was in ss, therefore there was no one around.


    "I received a photo," Tobias replied cidly.


    "What photo?" Natalie''s heart skipped a beat. Could it be that photo?


    Tobias nced at Natalie meaningfully. "It''s a photo of you cheating on me."


    Natalie was at a loss for words.


    "No, that photo''s fake! It''s Photoshopped," Natalie exined hurriedly.


    She was extremely anxious. She was afraid that Tobias would misunderstand her.


    "That photo''s edited. I never... Did it with anyone else but you," Natalie added.


    "I know," Tobias raised his elegant eyebrow and continued, "I can tell immediately that it''s


    Photoshopped."


    Tobias was indeed a PhD holder. He was different from everyone else.


    So many people thought that the photo was real because it seemed believable. Tobias was the only


    one who was sharp enough to tell that it was edited.


    He had a brilliant educational background and a high IQ! No wonder he was the president of YS


    Group.


    Natalie idolized Tobias.


    "I can tell that you''re not the woman in the photo. You don''t have such a great figure," Tobias


    answered tly.


    Natalie''s face froze.


    That was how he was able to tell... Well, she was thinking too much. In fact, Tobias was not that


    smart.


    "Whoever did it did a horrible job. I can still tell that it was Photoshopped," Tobias added.


    Natalie was at a loss.


    Why could Tobias not finish his sentence properly?


    "That photo must have something to do with your missing phone, right?"


    Natalie''s admiration for Tobias was ignited again. He was indeed very intelligent.


    "I think so." Natalie nodded.


    "I''ll get a proper exnation," Tobias concluded calmly.


    Natalie''s heart skipped a beat.


    Did he mean that he would help her investigate what happened?


    She wanted to ask when her mobile phone rang.


    "Natalie, what happened? How are things going?" Yvonne was probably in ss, hence she


    lowered her voice.


    "I''ll tell youter," Natalie replied.


    "Okay, I''ll hang up first."


    After hanging up the call, Natalie realized that they reached the school entrance.


    "Go back to ss. I''ll return to thepany," Tobias said softly.


    Natalie nodded. She gazed at the extraordinary man admiringly. There was a burst of emotion in


    her.


    She recalled how Qasim''s father treated Tobias obsequiously. Mr. Lawson was the mayor''s


    secretary and he was a big shot to Natalie.


    However, Mr. Lawson acted ingratiatingly when he spotted Tobias. Therefore, Tobias must be very


    influential.


    Suddenly, she felt like she did not know Tobias.


    She knew that Tobias was an excellent man as the president of YS Group. However, she never


    knew that Tobias was that powerful.


    When the thought struck her, she felt that the gap between them grew indefinitely.


    "I''ll be going now." Tobias boarded the Lincoln that was parked in front of the university and sped


    off.


    Natalie strode back to her ssroom.


    The lecturer spotted Natalie and nodded to motion Natalie to enter the ss.


    Natalie slipped back to her seat.


    Queenie was shocked when she noticed Natalie. Natalie came back? Did Qasim''s parents let her


    go?
