She Became Rich After Divorce by Georgina Lane

Chapter 275: Don't Waste Your Ton 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. Graquickly 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 acceptable to attack someone without reason?" In the end, Gracast 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, "Just cafter me. Why insult my friend?" It was the first tCheyenne 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 Graremained 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 similar white coat. The elderly man had a kind demeanor.

Upon seeing the newcomer, 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 accept 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 money lavishly. Most of the students' families were reasonably well-off and didn't lack funds. They cto Akloit College to compare themselves with their fellow rich kids.

Wealthy individuals needed to cultivate their connections, making it easier to accomplish 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 the largest shareholder, rarely made an appearance, only showing up for year-end reports.

The second-largest shareholder was the Chambers family, but old Mr. Chambers himself held only thirteen percent of the shares, which he later transferred to his son, Jovany Chambers. Jovany occasionally appeared but was a businessman who didn't understand education. He would inquire about the school's financial status from tto time.

The Wheeler family were the original owners of the school. The current board director, RogeWheeler, was Principal Shepard's younger brother-in-law. 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 e 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 becstronger.

At fifteen, the prodigious Eddie entered Akloit College, skipping a Π grade. At sixteen, he caught the of Mr. Owen and bechis direct disciple. He completed his bachelor's and master's degrees in just three years. At nineteen, 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.
