Reborn From Ashes novel Chapter 94

"I know." Victor nodded.

"You've done horrible things at the Sterling residence—things that I simply cannot bring myself to speak of. I'm sorry, but I just can't let you in.

"I can't allow you to enter Brighton University, so I'm sorry. I came here just to inform you of this matter, so I'll be leaving now." Victor got up to leave.

He seemed very determined about it, and he behaved as if there was no room for negotiations.

At that moment, Hayden felt like he was struck by lightning, and his mind turned blank.

True enough, the Sterlings had really fed Victor tons of lies! Those jerks!

At that thought, Hayden's expression turned colder, and he even shuddered a little.

He hastily stepped in front of Victor and immediately explained, "No! That's not true! You don't understand my relationship with them! You don't know what I've gone through at the Sterling residence, or the mistreatment I've had to endure!

"You can't just judge my character based on something they said! I've only stayed with the Sterlings for three years. In the previous decade or so, I've been living with the Caldwells.

"The Caldwells' parents are my real parents! If you want to know more about my character, you should ask them instead!" Hayden spoke in a stern voice, emphasizing every syllable.

At that moment, silence reigned over the place. The breeze blew past, swaying the leaves hanging above the two, and only the rustling of the leaves could be heard.

Victor had a troubled look on his face, seemingly to be in a dilemma.

Of course, he was aware of all that. Sadly, he had private concerns, and he didn't know how to explain them, either.

He had committed a mistake, and it had become a permanent stain on his life!

"I'm sorry!" Without any explanations, Victor turned around to leave.

"Mr. Grant!" Hayden stood in front of Victor again. He had a grave expression on his face, but he didn't know what to say.
