Gritting her teeth in pain, Margaret turned around and leaned against the wall wordlessly. Although
Jodie was mad at the mentor, she was not the type to make a scene when she was wrong. Standing
closer to Margaret, she looked toward the still renovating dorm. “Did you know? The dorm over there is
also funded by Christopher. My family’s riches are nothing compared to his. I even heard that he’s
visiting our school today…” Margaret did not answer her, for her stomachache was insufferable. Just
then, the mentor stormed out. “Both of you are quite something, huh? How could you chat when you’re
being punished? Go and grab your canvas and continue to draw here. You’re done for if you can’t
submit your homework before class ends!” Jodie raised her chin as she went to grab her canvas.

fragile she seemed, the former was angered and pushed the latter. “I told you to get your canvas! Are
you deaf?” With that, Margaret collapsed onto the floor. Jodie was taken aback upon seeing that,
immediately condemning the mentor, “Why did you push her?” Guilt filled the mentor. “I only pushed
her lightly. I didn’t know this would happen.” Jodie squatted down to help Margaret up while shouting at
the mentor, “How could you conduct physical punishment on a student? You don’t deserve to become a
teacher!” However, the mentor felt she was being wronged. “Is she made from paper? I only gave her a
slight push, and she immediately dropped to the ground. Jodie, you can’t falsely accuse someone just
because you’re from a rich family. And you, Margaret, stop acting! Who you’re trying to fool by being so
delicate?” The commotion in the corridor attracted the attention of a group of people walking over. The
principal, who was leading the group, was enraged. I told them that Christopher was paying a visit today, yet this happened! Meanwhile, Christopher was calmly staring at Margaret. When he looked
toward the mentor, though, his expression darkened. Margaret muttered weakly, “Stop arguing… I’m
fine. Help me take my canvas, Jo.” Suppressing her anger, Jodie returned to the classroom. When the
mentor saw that, she pushed Margaret again out of anger. “Aren’t you so dainty that you’ll get blown
away by the wind? Let’s see if you’ll fall again this time.” The force exerted this time was significantly
greater than the last. Margaret felt pain engulfing her as she blacked out, her body swaying as she
toppled to the ground. Before hitting the floor, she was pulled into a strong embrace, and a familiar
scent hit her nose. “Christopher…” she muttered, barely making out his tightened jaw and angered

expression. Before she could ask why he suddenly appeared, she lost consciousness in his arms.
Meanwhile, the mentor turned pale upon noticing the terrifying aura coming from the man. The man did
not utter a word, proceeding to leave with the woman in his arms. His expression was stony, and it
seemed that he would explode with rage at any second. Rushing over, the principal glared at the
mentor. “Why do you always make things difficult for me?” When Jodie came out, she saw that a man
was carrying Margaret with the principal following them, leaving behind a pale-faced mentor. Sensing
something terrible had happened, she shoved the mentor. “Just you wait!” Then, she quickly caught up
to them. Christopher was sitting on the bench outside the hospital’s emergency room with a slightly
lowered head. He was exuding a cold aura, leaving dead silence around him. The principal and Jodie
were pacing anxiously beside him. Suddenly, Christopher spoke. “The mentor of this college is
something else, isn’t she?”
