Chapter 34

But now… Sheila wondered if Debra was the reason for this change. But as far as she remembered, Juan hated Debra. “No, I cannot let her steal Juan away. Absolutely not!”

Debra arrived early in the classroom. There weren’t many graduate students; there was just one class each year in the Finance Department. These people were either wealthy or exceptionally intelligent. Debra sat in the back row, intending to keep a low profile. If this were found out, Melody would surely cause a scene at school.

Suddenly, the classroom door burst open. Several boys sitting in the front frowned, ready to complain. But upon seeing who entered, they all fell silent. Debra raised her head and looked over. There stood Jordan in casual sportswear, looking relaxed and carefree. Debra furrowed her brow, wondering what he was doing there. As far as she remembered, Jordan had turned in a blank exam paper.

The dean of students greeted Jordan politely: “Mr. Jordan Potter, you can sit in the front for a better view.” He then pulled up a chair for Jordan. Ignoring the suggestion, Jordan grabbed the chair, walked straight toward Debra, and sat down beside her. The other students showed disdain, but no one dared to say anything. After all, the Potter family held significant influence in Seamar City.

“Your seat is in the front, Mr. Jordan Potter,” Debra reminded him. Jordan was notorious for being vindictive. He was still holding a grudge because of what she had said at their last meeting. “I sit wherever I want,” he said casually. The dean decided to let him be and left in frustration.

Debra scanned the others in the room. No regular professor would want to face such a group of rich kids. She was curious about who the unfortunate professor was.

Soon, a familiar voice came from the doorway. “Sorry, I’m late! Damn!” Randy rushed into the classroom clumsily, stunning Debra. Adjusting his glasses, Randy said, “Pardon me. It’s my first time teaching.” “Sir, your glasses have no lenses!” someone shouted, and laughter erupted. Randy was well-connected in this circle. Several students in the room had shared drinks with him and maintained good relations.

Debra rubbed her temples. It seemed unlikely she would learn anything at Arcane Academy. She hadn’t expected any deep academic insights there anyway. It was merely another card for her to wield in taking over the Frazier family.

“Don’t make a fuss. I’m substituting today because your professor is busy. When he’s free, he’ll take over,” Randy explained. Debra immediately thought of Marion. But then she reconsidered. Marion’s business dealings couldn’t come to light, let alone involve education. “Wanna know who he’s referring to?” Jordan suddenly spoke.
