Riches in Disguise

It was out of the question for me to fall for another woman unless someone as amazing as Felicia appeared.

While I was thinking about how nonchalant Felicia looked in her black-rimmed glasses and oversized T-shirt, Tom's voice echoed from the classroom door. "William, come out for a moment."

Suddenly, all eyes in the classroom were on me, including Zack.

Liam was nervous. "Oh, no. Louis must have snitched on you to Mr. Parker. William, I'm coming with you."

"It's alright. I can take care of this myself." I gave him an assuring look and stood up, walking out of the classroom as everyone watched.

On the way, I even heard some of their conversation.

"William is such a troublemaker."

"Yeah. There's not a day when he's not in trouble. I heard that he beat up Louis this morning."

"Isn't he not allowed to attend Mr. Hopkins' classes anymore? Can he graduate?"

I would have forgotten if they didn't mention it. After I publicly talked back to Roger the last time, I stopped attending his classes.

Instead, I asked Victor to organize another teacher for me. Wondering how this was going, I decided to ask him about it after dealing with Tom.

I could sense the hostility in Tom's eyes in the corridor when I looked into them.

"Come with me." He led me to the counselor's office in the administrator's building.

In the office, I saw that Louis was also there. His arm was in a plaster cast. A bandaid was also at the edge of his lips, and even his eye was a little bruised.

He sat on the chair pitifully, looking like a poor child who had been bullied, but I just wanted to laugh.noveldrama

Tom plopped into a seat, took a deep breath, and raised his head at me. "William, will you attend classes properly? If you don't wish to attend university, just drop out and stay home instead of stirring trouble every day."

I chuckled Mr. Parker, what do you mean by this? I don't get it. I was attending class properly. You're the

one

who called me out. How did you get the idea that I don't want to attend classes?"

Tom snapped, "William White, do you think I have no idea what you did at the male dorm yesterday?"

"What did I do? Please make it clear, sir."

"Are you feigning ignorance?" Tom got even more mad now. "You fought with Remy Kensington and even whipped out a knife!

"If I hadn't covered up for you, do you think you'd be here right now without any issue? You'd have been in the police station a long time ago!"

I sniggered silently. This threat might have worked on other students but not on me, perhaps in another life.

"Mr. Parker, I don't think that's right. You didn't cover up for me. It's the school that wants to cover up for Remy. They don't want this matter to be exposed, so you have no choice but to cover up for me, too. Am right?

"If it had been me yesterday who formed a gang and bullied other students, causing such a big incident, would the school have covered for me? I guess you wouldn't even believe me if I told you."

Tom stared at me in astonishment. He was at a loss for words for a long time.

"What's wrong, Mr. Parker?" I raised my brows.

"Do you think I don't know? Remy Kensington, the student, is actually a distant relative of the Chancellor. That's why he gets away with being a tyrant at school and causing trouble every day.

"He wasn't punished despite bullying so many students. The administrators are just protecting each other, so don't even think about pinning this on me. What do you say?"
