Seeing as Matthew had also be a target just because of something I said, I raised both my hands immediately.


    "Hold it right there. Don''t chew Matthew out. I''ll leave."


    Upon saying that, I left the dorm.


    "William!"


    Benjamin and Liam quickly came out after me. With a smile on my face, I shoved them back into the room. "They weren''t against either of you. Just go back in there and stay there."


    I waved my meal card at them and said, "I''m gonna go eat."


    Feeling more at ease, Benjamin and Liam returned to the female students'' dorm.


    I put my meal card back into my pocket, took my phone out, and rang my father up. "Dad, one of my schoolmates is being taken advantage of by Arnoult Group''s scion. Could you help out with this?"


    My dad did not hesitate at all. He replied, "No problem. I''ll make a call and give my instructions now. I wouldn''t need to attend to a small matter like this personally. A phone call is enough to settle the problem."


    "Thanks, Dad."


    I exhaled softly after hanging up.


    I still wanted to help even after being scolded. What was wrong with me?


    That being said, I had my reasons for helping Charlotte.


    For one, it was true that I was somewhat rted to what happened to herst night. Secondly, that man from Arnoult Group was really too much.


    There could have been other ways to teach Charlotte a lesson. Did he have to ruin her reputation for the rest of her life?


    Even if it was a stranger who was treated like this, I would lend a hand wherever I could. What was more, Charlotte was someone I knew.


    A few minutester, my father sent me a message.


    It read, "Will, I''ve contacted the president of Welsington Business Association about it. He said that he will get to it immediately.


    "He will be able to settle the issue within 30 minutes, so don''t worry about it." That was quick.


    It seemed like Arnoult Group truly wouldn''t make it.


    I sent 200 dors to my dad as his allowance. "Here''s some remuneration for your hard work."


    My father replied to me with an emoji of a smiley face. That cheered me up, and I felt much more rxed.


    I took a walk along the boulevard before finally sitting down on a bench to bask in the sun.


    Without Joshua bothering me, the days had been pretty good. I just didn''t know what he had been up to these two days.


    Though, it was a little scary to not hear from him at all.


    While I was sitting on the benchfortably, Matthew called.


    "William, where are you?"


    "I''m sunbathing."


    "Ah, get out of the sun ande over to Gxie Hotel! Charlotte is treating everyone to a meal. She gave special permission for you toe over too."


    What did he mean that she gave me special permission to go over?


    Why did that make me feel so ufortable?


    I was reminded of the attitude that those women were giving. I turned him down right away. "Forget it. It''s really ufortable eating with them. I''d rather eat at the cafeteria."


    "Hey, juste on over. Why are you being so calctive with a bunch of women? They might be sharp-tongued, but they''re kind people on the inside.


    "It''ll be fine after you spend more time with them. See, even Benjamin and Liam have also started to get along with them."


    Benjamin and Liam got along with them? What nonsense.


    If Matthew weren''t there, that bunch of women wouldn''t even nce at Benjamin or Liam.


    I really didn''t want to go. However, at this moment, Benjamin and Liam came to


    the phone and said, "Come over, William. You''re the only one in our group who''s absent. Don''t miss our group activity."


    "Yeah. Without you here, Liam and I feel quite uneasy. Come join us."


    Since my dorm mates had said so, it would be too pretentious of me not to go over. I had no choice but to g a cab to get to Gxie Hotel.
