Coralie Hughes’s pupils contracted into a dot from terror.
She panicked and said, "No, I didn’t an that. I don’t want to die, I don’t want to die! Mason Monroe, I’m begging you, please let go, I really don’t want to die!!!"
Coralie scread while pounding on the car window with all her strength.
But at this mont, the car had veered off the center of the road, heading toward the cliff on the other side.
Coralie was so frightened she couldn’t even scream, covering her eyes with both hands, her mind blank.
Next to her, Mason Monroe excitedly shouted, "Coralie, I love you!"
As soon as the words fell, the car bearing the "Hughes Group" logo sped towards the cliff, tumbling down the mountainside.
Birds at the bottom of the cliff fluttered away, making startled cries.
The car eventually crashed to the valley floor, exploding on impact.
Dust rose into the air.
A few minutes later, everything returned to silence.
...
Crestfall University.
When Sumr Monroe returned to the classroom, Mio Osborne had already finished the evening’s lecture and opened the classroom projector screen.
eting her gaze, Mio Osborne coldly looked away and said to Willow Grant and Holly Holloway behind Sumr, "You and Holly will self-study today’s section, and feel free to ask if you have any questions."
Then, he clicked on the computer’s news tab and said, "Carefully watch today’s news. For your last class, carefully. Your self-study assignnt is to choose one of the current news pieces and translate it into English. This is an assignnt your English teacher asked to give you. As for the higher math class, just review, and during tomorrow’s class, I’ll conduct an impromptu test based on today’s lesson. Anyone scoring below sixty will have to run ten laps on the field."
The students below showed a look of gloom.
This workload is much heavier than when they were in senior year of high school.
But no one dared to complain, everyone seriously looked up to watch the news, except for Sumr Monroe, who leisurely rested her head on the desk, preparing to sleep.
The first piece of news talked about a nuclear leak, but with too many unfamiliar words, most classmates skipped it.
At that mont, the announcer said, "Now we interrupt with a piece of breaking news. Ten minutes ago, a car in The West Suburbs from the scenic mountain road fell to the bottom, where it exploded. It is understood that one of the deceased is the daughter of the Hughes Group’s chairman, Coralie Hughes. The details of the accident are still under investigation..."
Sumr, who was lying on the desk, suddenly lifted her head.
The news had already reached the end, showing only a long shot of the accident scene.
In the photo, smoke filled the sky, and she could still see the car’s shattered body.
Her expression showed shock, but then she rembered the news ntioning "two" deceased, and Sumr imdiately speculated on what had happened.
Her initial plan was rely for Mason Monroe to be preoccupied with handling the Hughes Family, never expecting things to develop this way.
It seems Mason Monroe really was a madman.
But on second thought, Mason Monroe was quite pitiful.
That saying was fitting—pitiful people must have sothing detestable about them.
It looks like after attending Clarissa Stanton’s funeral, she would now attend Coralie Hughes’s.
Sumr slightly raised her eyebrows, showing neither joy nor sorrow.
After all, once a person dies, everything is over, and her grievances with Coralie Hughes and Mason Monroe would co to an end.
At that mont, a knock suddenly sounded at the classroom door.
"Professor Osborne."
Sumr looked up to see Rachel Ross, who had been absent for an evening self-study, standing there energetically.
