Chapter 275: Don''T Waste Your Time On Scumbags


    Chapter 275: Don''t Waste Your Time on Scumbags


    The scream sent shockwaves through the surrounding area, causing leaves to fall from the trees. It


    was summer, and making leaves fall without external force was quite challenging. Cheyenne,


    however, remained calm, inspecting her nails with disinterest.


    It took a while for Peyton''s cries to subside. Graeme quickly handed her a handkerchief from his suit


    pocket and gently held her head to stop the bleeding. He turned his stern gaze towards Kate and


    remarked, "You''re too arrogant. Why do you think it''s eptable to attack someone without


    reason?"


    In the end, Graeme cast his sinister gaze upon Kate and sneered, "No wonder you''re not doing well


    in your studies. You have such a ruthless friend by your side. It''s truly sickening."


    Kate had thought she was beyond caring, but hearing Graeme''s words still hurt. She clenched her


    teeth and angrily retorted, "Juste after me. Why insult my friend?"


    It was the first time Cheyenne had seen Kate cry. Tears rolled incessantly from her eyes. Her eyes


    should have shone brightly, but they dimmed because of this man.


    Watching the tension between the two, Kate was trembling with anger, while Graeme remained


    calm, not even deigning to meet her gaze.


    Cheyenne stepped forward with a mocking smile, pulling her friend close and offering words of


    comfort. "Kate, you don''t need to argue with him. Remember what I told you: we shouldn''t find


    boyfriends in the trash can. He''s not worthy!"


    As the heated exchange continued, Peyton was about to speak, but her words were interrupted by


    footsteps approaching the office door. A young man in a white coat, sweating and with bloodstains


    on his lower garment, appeared, as did an elderly man in a simr white coat. The elderly man had


    a kind demeanor.


    Upon seeing the neer, Shepard quickly rose to his feet and greeted Mr. Owen with an


    obsequious smile, acting respectful.


    "Mr. Owen? What has brought you here?"


    Mr. Owen coldly avoided Shepard''s outstretched hand and responded with a wry smile, "I can''t


    ept such a grand greeting, Principal Shepard. After all, I''m just a small board member of this


    school."


    His humility was quite understated. Although Akloit College had a prestigious history as a century-


    old institution, it had been acquired by a private corporation for the sake of modernizing education


    twenty years ago. It had transformed from a humble public college into an elite institution for the


    offspring of the affluent. It ranked in the top ten of the national university rankings.


    There was only one way to achieve this: spend moneyvishly. Most of the students'' families were


    reasonably well-off and didn''tck funds. They came to Akloit College topare themselves with


    their fellow rich kids.


    Wealthy individuals needed to cultivate their connections, making it easier to aplish things. As


    the cake grew bigger, the people dividing the cake transitioned from a small private enterprise into a


    group of wealthy tycoons.


    The majority shareholder in the school was the Foley family, followed by the Chambers family, the


    Wheeler family, the Owen family, and a few scattered minor shareholders. Akloit College was just


    one of the projects owned by the Foley family. Kelvin, although thergest shareholder, rarely made


    an appearance, only showing up for year-end reports.


    The secondrgest shareholder was the Chambers family, but old Mr. Chambers himself held only


    thirteen percent of the shares, which heter transferred to his son, Jovany Chambers. Jovany


    asionally appeared but was a businessman who didn''t understand education. He would inquire


    about the school''s financial status from time to time.


    The Wheeler family were the original owners of the school. The current board director, Rogelio


    Wheeler, was Principal Shepard''s younger brother-inw. This was why Principal Shepard had


    managed to secure his position, thanks to family connections.


    Among the shareholders, the Owen family and the Chambers family held nearly equal shares. Mr.


    Owen even held a professorship in Akloit College''s medical department. Every year, he selected


    several outstanding students from the medical department, granting them direct admission to the


    graduate program. Within five years, they would obtain a Ph. D. So, every year during the graduate


    student selection exams, countless students hoped to be chosen by him.


    Mr. Owen was a renowned but elusive professor, and his reputation exceeded that of the principal.


    He had held the position of professor for so long that many freshmen only knew him as someone


    they should curry favor with for guaranteed graduate school admission, totally unware that Mr.


    Owen was one of the school''s board members.


    The sensational news quickly spread throughout the campus, with many people discussing on the


    campus forum.


    [#Akloit College: Things You Must Know: I actually saw the legendary Professor Owen!]


    [#I saw him early on! He''s here! He''s wearing a white coat and has a cute guy with him, and they


    just rushed in from the school gate!]


    [#Lots of talk, silly! What cute guy? Didn''t you see the portrait on the third-floor corridor of the


    experimental building? It''s the first winner of the Lasco Clinical Medicine Award!]


    As members of Akloit College''s medical department, everyone had to be aware of two individuals:


    one was Mr. Owen, the golden admissions ticket holder, and the other was the medical


    department''s number one student, Eddie Zamora.


    The Zamora family was a prominent family in Akloit. Their parents had met a sudden disaster at the


    height of their careers, leaving behind only their two children. Initially, it seemed that the Zamora


    family would fall into decline, but no one expected that the fifteen-year-old boy would grow


    overnight. The Zamora family, under his management, didn''t weaken but instead became stronger.


    At fifteen, the prodigious Eddie entered Akloit College, skipping a grade. At sixteen, he caught the


    eye of Mr. Owen and became his direct disciple. Hepleted his bachelor''s and master''s degrees


    in just three years. At neen, he graduated, and that year, he also won the first Lasco Clinical


    Medicine Award in the country.


    He was Akloit College''s pride and a rising star in the medical field.Content from N?velDr(a)ma.Org.
