In the Lap of Luxury

Chapter 301 Step Forward

Grace's roommates had noticed someone escorting her back and immediately started gossiping.

"Who was that guy just now? Is he your boyfriend? He looks so handsome!"

"Yeah, he's so muscular and hot!"

"When did you get a boyfriend? Why didn't I know about this?"

Facing a barrage of questions from her roommates, Grace hurriedly explained, "He's not my boyfriend. Don't overthink it."

"What! He's not your boyfriend! What's his name? Can you introduce him to me?"

This question caught Grace off guard. They had met twice, but she hadn't even asked for his name.

"Well, I'll ask him next time and let you know."

Her roommates were clearly disappointed, but Grace raised an eyebrow.

Thinking she must make things clear next time, Grace eagerly anticipated their next encounter.

However, Grace saw him again the very next day.

Her roommates pulled her over and asked, "Grace, isn't that the guy who walked you back yesterday? Why is he being taken to the office?"

Surprised, Grace followed them and found the group of foreigners who had been beaten the day before complaining to the lecturers.

"Sir, this is the guy. He beat us up for nothing yesterday."

"It's an offense to hit people! You have to punish him!"

"I think you should expel him."

Benjamin smirked in the face of the accusations from these foreigners. Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

He didn't explain himself. Instead, he said in fluent Eliganese, "It seems I was too gentle yesterday. Next time, I'll make sure to knock your teeth out!"

"Stop!" the lecturer intervened sharply.

"I won't tolerate your arrogance! I'll report this to the principal and have you expelled!"

Unfazed, Benjamin scoffed, "Whatever!"

This angered the lecturer, who threatened to call the principal. Just then, Grace rushed out without hesitation.

"That's not what happened!"

Grace explained the whole story in Eliganese.

The lecturer didn't rush to handle matters after hearing her explanation. Instead, he fell deep in thought.

He was familiar with Grace. In fact, the whole staff at school knew who Grace was.

They would have ignored it if someone else had spoken up, but this was Grace they were dealing with!

After some thought, the lecturer sternly asked the foreign students, "Is what she said true?"

The foreign students hesitated, avoiding eye contact.

His anger intensified. "Instead of studying, you're causing trouble around school! Since that's the case, I'll report to the school and make sure you face the consequences."

The foreign students were publicly punished by the school, and the matter ended there.

After leaving the office, Benjamin looked at Grace with a smirk on his face and said, "I didn't expect you to be so brave. Aren't you afraid they will come after you later?"

Grace shook her head, "They don't have the guts! "

Especially not with the bodyguards Aaron arranged for her.

"Hmm, not bad! You're very brave. I'll remember this favor today and repay you next time I get the chance."
