Boom!
The onlookers felt their minds go blank, speechless at the shock of what unfolded before their eyes.
Everyone could hardly believe their eyes. Theo Carter, who used to strut around the school like he owned the place, was actually kneeling and apologizing to Vince Cooper?
How could this be possible?
The previous Theo Carter wouldnât even think of apologizing, much less kneel. Even a slight defiance of his wishes would lead to his crazy retaliation.
And to kneel and apologize?
After a brief silence, the scene immediately erupted into chaos.
âWhat the fuck, whatâs happening?â
âHas Theo Carter gone mad? Heâs actually⦠kneeling to Vince Cooper?â
âCould he have been scared?â
âMaybe, Winston Carter had his legs broken by Vince Cooperâs boyfriend, maybe heâs scared too?â
Meanwhile, inside the girlsâ dormitory, Cindy Harrison sat on her bed with a worried expression, lost in thought.
âCindy, you donât need to worry. Just keep it simple from now on; aside from going to class, stay in the dorm. I donât believe that Theo Carter would dare to come here.â
âWe wonât go anywhere either, weâll stay with you in the dorm every day.â
âRight, if he dares to come, weâll beat him up together!â
Vince felt a warmth in his heart and looked at his classmates and friends with a wry smile, shaking his head, âForget it, if it really comes down to it⦠Iâll just drop out.â
Before he finished speaking, Theo Carterâs voice suddenly came from downstairs.
The girlsâ faces changed, and they hurried to the window to look down, then all were stunned.
Cindy thought they were frightened and, feeling helpless, she got dressed and said, âYou guys stay in the dorm; Iâll go down and see, he probably wonât take it out on you.â
âNo, Cindy, come and see, Theo Carter is kneeling at the door, apologizing to you.â
âKneeling⦠What are you talking about?â
Cindy was equally surprised and quickly ran over. She looked down and was instantly dumbfounded.
Turning her head in astonishment, she said to her classmates, âPinch me, am I dreaming?â
âItâs true, you better go down and see for yourself.â
âAlright, Iâm going down now.â
âWeâre going too.â
The girls quickly got dressed and ran downstairs.
At the entrance of the dormitory building, Theo Carter knelt on the ground, feeling his face burn as he listened to the surrounding murmurs.
An indescribable humiliation spread throughout his heart.
However, he still clenched his fists and bit his teeth to endure it.
From a very young age, Wallace Carter had always told him and his brother that when it was time to lower their heads, they must do so.
Surviving was more important than anything!
The chaotic sound of footsteps rose, reaching Theo Carterâs ears like the most beautiful melody.
Slowly lifting his head, he saw the lovely face he had longed to see, always smiling, but now filled with shock.
âYouâre here?â
âTheo Carter, what kind of game are you playing now? Let me tell you, I have a boyfriend now, thereâs no chance for us.â
Cindy faced him with a cold expression, completely disbelieving that someone like Theo Carter would truly apologize, especially in such a humiliating way as kneeling.
A bitter taste spread in Theoâs mouth as he said helplessly, âCindy, Iâm sorry, Iâm sincerely apologizing this time, please forgive me.â
As he spoke, he carefully stood up and handed the gift to Cindy.
Stunned, she took the gift subconsciously and said in disbelief, âYou⦠youâre really apologizing to me?â
âYes, a sincere apology.â
âAnd all that beforeâ¦â
Slap!
Theo Carter violently slapped himself across the face, then said, âThe things that happened before were my own fault, none of it was your concern. I wonât bother you anymore.â
â`
âPlease⦠speak to Mr. Jensen for me and tell him I know I was wrong, and Iâll accept whatever punishment he decides.â
âMr. Jensen?â
Vince Cooper suddenly realized and hurriedly ran back into the dormitory building to find a secluded spot, and then he called Greg Jensen.
Greg Jensen was sleeping and still a bit groggy when he answered the phone. He asked, âHello, whatâs up?â
âThis morning, Theo Carter suddenly came over to apologize to me. I wanted to ask if it was you whoâ¦â
âOh, just handle it yourself. If you donât want to forgive him, just ignore him and leave him hanging.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âUh, okay⦠sure.â
After hanging up the phone, Vince Cooper still couldnât quite believe that Theo Carter had actually caved just like that.
Looking at Theo Carter still kneeling on the ground, she hesitated for a moment before walking over, placed the gift in front of him, and said, âYou can go. Letâs forget about the past.â
âYouâve forgiven me?â
Theo Carter looked up with a face full of surprise.
âWeâre classmates; thereâs nothing to forgive or not forgive. Just donât come looking for me again.â
âRest assured, I definitely wonât. I wonât harass you ever again.â
Theo Carter stood up with a face full of joy, nodding and bowing to Vince Cooper with a smile. âIn the future, at Jamae University, if anyone dares to bother you, just tell me and Iâll take care of it for you.â
âThanks, but no need.â
Vince Cooper said coldly, and then she walked toward the dormitory building.
Seeing this, Theo Carter became anxious and called out, âVince Cooper, take these things with you.â
Vince Cooper didnât turn back, and she didnât even pause her strides, walking straight into the dormitory building.
Theo Carter hesitated for a moment, then came over to where Vince Cooperâs classmates were with a beaming smile, handed the items to them, and said with a laugh, âVince Cooper doesnât want these, and I have no use for them, so you guys keep them.â
âThis⦠doesnât seem right.â
âWhatâs wrong? Itâs for you, so just take it. Look out for Vince Cooper more in the future.â
Vince Cooper dared to reject Theo Carter, but they didnât have the nerve to do so and reluctantly accepted the cosmetics before running back to the dormitory building.
Theo Carter breathed a sigh of relief and quickly called his father to explain the situation.
âHoly shit, did he really come to apologize?â
âWhat kind of background does Vince Cooperâs family have that even Theo Carter doesnât dare provoke her?â
âVince Cooperâs family background is nothing. Theyâre just farmers.â
âThen, whatâs thisâ¦â
âIâm not clear on the specifics, but from now on, we definitely should not mess with this Vince Cooper.â
âYeahâ¦â
The news of Theo Carter apologizing to Vince Cooper quickly spread throughout Jamae University.
Then, with the help of some invested individuals, the news spread its wings and flew beyond Jamae University.
Those who were waiting to see Wallace Carter take revenge were all shocked when they heard this news.
Who is Wallace Carter?
Heâs a notorious figure on the streets of Jamae, known for his vindictive nature, which is almost universally acknowledged.
Such a person, whose son was beaten so badly his legs were broken, not only held back from taking revenge, but even had his younger son apologize to the offender?
Who exactly was the attacker?
Who could have forced Wallace Carter to bow his head and admit fault?
Driven by curiosity, people started to inquire about the identity of that person.
Yet, no matter how much they asked, they ended up with nothing.
All they knew was his surname was Jensen, and not even his first name was known.
â¦
âMr. Jensen?â
Cindy Harrison was stunned for a moment, then frowned and said, âWho is this Mr. Jensen, that even Wallace Carter doesnât dare provoke him?â
