“It’s me, Uncle Denton. I’m at the third female dorm building where two loiterers managed to get in. They’re harassing us. Please bring a few security guards over to help us chase them away.”
Cassian then put down the phone to smile wretchedly at Henry. “Just you wait. You’re going to be thrown off the campus like a stray dog in no time at all.”
When faced with Cassian’s threat, Henry only said one thing.
“Moron.”
At the same time, Jasper had already calmed Tiffany down.
“Jasper, I really didn’t steal anything. I also didn’t hook up with other people,” Tiffany explained to the man.
Jasper smiled gently and replied, “I know. They’re the ones framing you.”
Tiffany was about to speak when Jasper gestured for her to stop. Cassian was already done with his call by now, so Jasper gave it some thought before deciding it would be better to call Dorian as well.
After all, Henry was a truly extreme person, and those two students would most likely not have a future if they genuinely angered him.
At the end of the day, Jasper should still leave Hoofmorn University with some shred of dignity.
“Is this Mr. Clem? It’s me, Jasper.”
“I know, Mr. Laine. How can I help you?”
Dorian’s tone on the other end of the call was so polite it was borderline flirtatious.
Jasper chuckled and replied, “I remember troubling you to take care of my sister, Mr. Clem, but it seems like you’re quite the busy man.”
While Jasper had spoken with a smile, Dorian immediately shot up from his chair once he heard this.
“I made sure to put in a word with all the relevant departments, Mr. Laine. There shouldn’t be any problem at all. Did something happen to Miss York? Please tell, I’ll solve it right away.”
