Chapter 271 Back to School
His tone left no room for any objections. Cherise accepted his decision with pursed l*ps.
Knowing full well that she could not change his mind, she decided to stop arguing.
After breakfast, they enter the silver Maybach together.
As soon as she got into the car, she asked, “What happened to the previous car?”
She was referring to the black Maserati that he was usually driven around.
Mr. Kolsen has disappeared, and the car is nowhere to be seen. What’s going on?
“He drove it elsewhere.”
“I see.” Damien drove slower than Mr. Kolsen as he liked to chat with Cherise along the way.
She didn’t feel the time pa*sing by until they arrived at the university entrance. She suddenly returned to her senses when she saw a throng of people there.
Damn! There are only five minutes until the lecture starts!
Nevertheless, she couldn’t bring herself to put the blame on Damien. After hastily bidding farewell to him, she ran into the campus.
Despite running at full speed, she was still a minute late.
The advanced mathematics lecturer gave her a disapproving look. “You’ve been away for so long. yet you still arrive late. Go find a seat quickly!”
“I’m so sorry.”
After apologizing, she sprinted to her seat.
“See, since Mandy arrived, everyone in cla*s adores her. You’re not as popular as before anymore.” Lucy pouted as she pa*sed some tissues for Cherise to wipe her sweat. “What a vixen! I can’t believe that she’s the favorite of this lecturer!”
Cherise frowned, not understanding what Lucy meant.
Stretching her neck, she turned her head around to the other side. Right when she was going to ask for more elaboration, another girl in the front row turned around to look at her.
As their gaze met, Mandy gave her a brief smile before turning back to focus on the lecture.
“W-Why is she here?” Cherise’s eyes widened in shock.
“She arrived a few days ago as a transfer student,” Lucy explained in frustration, rolling her eyes

as she went. She will only be here for six months, but do you know what she told everyone? She said she enjoyed the hospitality very much and that she won’t be able to bring herself to leave when the time comes. Everyone was so touched by her words, treating her as if she’s a goddess.”
Surprised to hear that, Cherise pursed her l*ps. “Perhaps she really feels that way, and everyone likes her back.”
“What bullsh*t,” Lucy scoffed. “I think she has a hidden motive for doing this. She’s not even studying medicine; why is she here? While you weren’t around, she was trying her best to build connections with everyone, buying everyone dinner at fancy restaurants with different cuisines. every day!”
Cherise patted Lucy’s shoulders. “Alright, alright. If that’s what she likes, it’s none of our business.”
Finally, Lucy heaved a sigh and went back, focusing on the lecture.
They had an impromptu test that day. Since Lucy had been away for almost two weeks, she lost. track of the topics and got two questions wrong.
When it was over, everyone was asking around for the results.
“Cherry, did you get full marks this time?” a girl came over and asked.
“No. I got two questions wrong.” Cherise shook her head honestly.
