Chapter 508

Arielle didn’t expect the first words out of Donovan’s mouth to be so rude.

The respect she had for him was slowly reducing to dust.

Arielle frowned, wanting to explain but said nothing in the end.

A fight with that kind of person was merely a waste of time and energy.

She ignored his words as though he never said them in the first place and asked politely instead, upholding her upbringing. “Mr. Baxter, I want to apply for leave for a day tomorrow. Please approve.”

Donovan wrinkled his nose irritably while a flash of disappointment crossed his mind.

He scolded. “It has only been a few days since the term has started, and you’re applying for leave already. If you don’t want to study, then quit. There’s no need for you to use such tactics.”

Arielle retorted casually, “It’s not because I don’t want to study. Tomorrow is my sister’s funeral. Please approve my leave.”

Donovan was stunned for a short second then was embarrassed.

He hadn’t thought of that possibility.

But how would I know her words to be true?

Many students had applied for leave with all kinds of excuses. Many had lied, saying their grandparents had passed away. So Arielle could be lying as well.

Donovan asked coldly, “How would I know you’re not lying? You can apply for leave, but you need to give me your sister’s death certificate.”

“You…” Anger rolled through Arielle. It was her first time encountering such an unreasonable lecturer.

However, she still didn’t want to fight despite being angry. It was pointless to gain the upper hand through verbal dispute.

“Since you don’t approve, then I will get it from the principal once I return.”

Arielle turned to leave.

“Arielle Moore!”

Donovan hadn’t thought Arielle would leave without begging him. He felt disrespected as a lecturer.

“Arielle!” he shouted again.

But her steps didn’t falter.

Seeing her back slowly disappear at the stairs, he began panicking, and so he threatened, “If you dare to leave, I’ll bring the principal to your house and expel you in front of your parents tomorrow.”

Arielle’s steps finally halted.

Donovan released a relieved sigh, he was about to say something when he saw her head turn slowly, and there was solely coldness in those eyes of hers. He didn’t dare to meet her gaze.

Not giving him a chance to speak, Arielle turned her head back and continued forward. This time her pace had quickened. Her back soon disappeared in Donovan’s eyes.

Donovan was rooted in place in shock for a few seconds.

I was shocked by the look my student gave me.

A huge wave of humiliation engulfed him.

“F**k!” he cursed, anger shot through him.

He would bring the principal to visit Arielle’s house tomorrow and expose her lie.

He would use that chance to expel Arielle for good so that she would finally be gone from Jadeborough University and away from his sight.

This is the price! The price for the look in her eyes!

Arielle sat silently in Vinson’s car.

Even though she didn’t fight with Donovan, her mood was affected.

How did this kind of person manage to graduate from Maxwell University? I graduated from Maxwell University with a degree in Education, so I’m well aware of the difficulty in obtaining the certificate of degree and the teaching certificate of Maxwell University.

He must have found a loophole.

Vinson noticed something was wrong with Arielle, but he didn’t ask since she didn’t say anything. He guessed it was probably related to Donovan.

When they almost reached the Southall residence, he finally asked, “Do I need to make Donovan disappear?”
