As soon as that was said, the students below imdiately started to complain.
There were still twenty minutes until the end of class, why collect their assignnts early?
Mio Osborne wasn’t even their English teacher, and collecting them wouldn’t help with grading, wasn’t this intentionally making things difficult for them?
Unlike usual, where students only dared to grumble in their hearts, this ti everyone couldn’t help but voice their complaints aloud.
"What exactly is Professor Osborne doing? He’s not even giving us this bit of ti? We haven’t even finished watching the news yet!"
"I really think he’s being unreasonable."
"I suddenly don’t want to be in the preparatory class anymore, I can rely on myself to get into Crestfall University, he was the one who told not to take the college entrance exam and just co straight to the preparatory class."
The complaints grew louder, and Mio Osborne’s attempts to calm them were ineffective, so he reluctantly said, "Alright, give it to before class ends, you can watch the news again."
The projector screen switched back to today’s news.
Sumr Monroe got to see Coralie Hughes’s news report again.
The car was destroyed and Coralie Hughes completely disappeared.
Sumr Monroe carefully watched the news and then looked away expressionlessly.
Retribution hasn’t co yet; Henry Stanton and Stella Monroe will experience all of this sooner or later.
Sumr thought for a mont and sent a ssage to her subordinate staying at Henry Stanton’s hotown, urging him to finish gathering the evidence as soon as possible.
Just after sending the ssage, she noticed Ronan Kingston giving her a strange look from the side.
Sumr looked over in confusion and asked softly, "What’s up?"
"No, nothing..." Ronan quickly shook his head, but after two seconds of hesitation, he still asked, "Boss, what’s your relationship with Knight?"
Sumr was taken aback, then coughed lightly and said, "Friends."
Married friends.
"Alright then..." Ronan nodded, too embarrassed to ask more.
But he then lowered his head and pulled out the phone from the drawer, quickly tapping the screen to send out a ssage—
[Bro, what’s going on, how could soone else steal your thunder in saving the damsel in distress?]
He knew Sumr was ssaging his brother because he happened to see Sumr sending a text, but why Damian Knight showed up, he had no idea.
On the other end of the phone, Julian Kingston was drinking with Isaac Ross, and when he received Ronan’s ssage, he was completely baffled.
After replying with a question mark, he turned to Isaac and asked, "Where did Damian go? I just stepped out for a mont, and he’s nowhere to be seen."
Feeling slightly awkward, Isaac pushed up his glasses.
Not long ago, he had witnessed Damian Knight looking at Julian Kingston’s suddenly illuminated phone, then directly deleting the ssage and warning him not to tell Julian, and then Damian disappeared.
From what he knew about Damian Knight, it was highly likely he had gone looking for Sumr Monroe.
But now that Julian was asking, he didn’t know how to answer.
They were both brothers, helping one felt like betraying the other.
Isaac thought for a mont and simply said, "I don’t know, you ask him yourself."
However, Julian picked up his phone and then put it down again, taking a sip of the special cocktail in front of him instead, and said, "Forget it, I won’t ask, this guy only has work on his mind, he’s definitely busy with company stuff. Speaking of which, Ryder Quinn is really acting strange. He initially agreed to join us for drinks, but once he heard Damian was coming, he imdiately bailed, claiming he wasn’t feeling well. Do you think they’re having so kind of spat?"
Isaac shook his head, indicating he didn’t know.
