NovelEnglishChapter 353 The guard, seeing no other way, finally called Grace.
Grace was buried in paperwork for the project with Yule Group. When she saw the contact nflash on the screen, she hesitated momentarily before answering.
"What is it?" "Ms. Lambert, something's off with Mr. Lambert. His mental state doesn't seem good." Grace frowned and pushed the files aside. "What happened?" Still believing Andrea was someone Grace had personally sent, the guard didn't mention her.
"He just... keeps saying he wants to see you." Grace exhaled slowly, her voice steady. "Let him tough it out. He needs to remember this lesson." Liam hadn't been hooked for long-as long as he had the will, he could still recover.
The guard glanced at the tightly shut door, sighing helplessly.

She finished sorting her documents quickly and was just about to leave when her phone rang again. It was Sebastian.
"Ms. Lambert, we might have a problem. I haven't been able to get a hold of Jasper since yesterday afternoon." Grace immediately switched course, turning her car toward Druville College.
She knocked on Jasper's room door and entered, where she found out he was sick.
Grace reached out to feel his forehead as she stood by his bed, then quickly opened the sliding door to the balcony for sfresh air.
"You're burning up. Why didn't you tell your roommates?" Jasper batted her hand away, his voice hoarse. "No need for you to worry about me, Ms. Lambert." He coughed hard several times after he spoke.
Grace realized that Jasper was just like a prickly little hedgehog-he absolutely refused to show weakness to anyone.
He didn't want his roommates to know, and from the looks of it, he didn't get along with them either.
Grace felt a bit guilty when she thought back to how Liam had once gotten people to pick on Jasper.
Could Liam have dragged the whole class into isolating him, too? That sort of thing usually happened in elementary or middle school, not at the university level, where people should've been mature enough to know better.
She decided not to ask. Instead, she headed to the campus clinic and bought smedicine.
On the way back, she ran into Jasper's roommates in the hallway.
They looked surprised to see her. "And you are?" "I'm his relative. He's running a fever. I cto check on him." The guys clearly didn't buy it. One of them gave her a once-over, noticing how stunning she looked and how well she was dressed.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Yeah, right," he sneered. "Bet you're just ssugar mama keeping him around." Grace had figured Jasper was probably just unpopular, but she hadn't expected him to be treated this badly.
Her smile turned cold.
"And you're so sure because... what, you've done that at yourself?" she m crossed her arms, voice casual but cutting.
"Honestly, kid, it'd be a miracle if any rich woman looked twice at you!!! INThe Maybe in The Ye content is on novelenglish.net! you're lucky, a 60-year-old might give you a shot."
The guy's face flushed bright red, and veel he wanted to his lips trembled retort bix couldn't. How could he, staring at a face this pretty? Grace patted him on the shoulder, her tone light but mocking.
"You're all still young. Why be so bitter already? Jealousy doesn't look good on you. Once I've sorted Jasper out, maybe I'll introduce you guys to a few sugar mamas. Don't expect them to be young and hot, though. Is 60-something okay with you?"
