Chapter 75
Maeve nodded. That was what Clara said when she kneeled in front of Maeve.
“When did she even get a boyfriend?”
Charlie asked in confusion.
“How would I know?”
“She already has a boyfriend, but she still wants to get Sergio? That woman is a piece of work!”
Charlie expressed his hatred toward women like that.
“She was saying those things for others to hear. Either way, I won’t believe for a second that she would get a boyfriend other than Sergio.”
Maeve put down her fork and placed the empty plate on her tray. “I’m done eating. Feel free to go ahead.”
With that, Maeve got up to leave.
Sheldon had finished his food, too. He said, “I’m done as well.”
Charlie stuffed a bun in his mouth. “Wait for me!”
In the evening, Clara was in her room in the dorm. She had a fright as she looked at the results of the recent pop quiz in their class.
She had always had stable results, but this time, her results in the pop quiz were getting worse.
Clara’s roommate, Emma Parker, was stunned when she saw the results. “Clara, w–why were you placed ninth in your department? You always came out on top. You’ve never gotten this bad before.”
Clara hastily put away her report. She forced a smile on her face as she said, “I wasn’t feeling well during the test last time, so I didn’t do very well. It’s okay, this was just a pop quiz.”
When Emma heard Clara saying that, she nodded. “I knew it. You couldn’t have possibly gotten such bad results otherwise.” .
Clara could hardly smile. She didn’t dare imagine what would happen to her if Sergio got his hands on this report.
Suddenly, Clara’s phone rang. It was a call from Larry. Larry sounded extremely calm over the phone, but there was a cold tone in his voice. “Ms. Stewart, please come downstairs for a moment.”
“Does Mr. Brooks want to see me?”
Clara felt a little excited. After all, it had been many days since Sergio last thought of her.
“He’s already here. Please come downstairs.”
Clara calmed down and said, “I’ll be right there.”

When Clara turned around, she saw Jenny and Tiffany glancing at her. Ever since the incident today, they stopped talking to her.
As expected, the two immediately looked away after they saw Clara.
At that moment, Clara couldn’t be bothered with the two. She went downstairs right away.
Sergio’s car was parked right on the ground floor of the girls‘ dorm.
Clara ran forward. She was only wearing a simple set of pajamas at that moment, and she appeared rather fragile.
“You’re here, Mr. Brooks.”
Clara sat in the car, looking like she missed Sergio a lot.
But Sergio’s expression remained calm. When he saw Clara’s nose turning red from the cold, he softened
a little. He said, “Remember to wear more clothes when you come out next time.”
“I was just in a rush. I’ll do that in the future.”
Clara’s face turned a little red because of those words of concern.
She was worried that Sergio might get mad at her because of what happened at the drinking session a few days ago. But by the looks of it, Sergio still cared about her quite a lot.
Clara said, “Mr. Brooks, are you here to talk to me about something?”
“The chancellor called me.”
Clara instantly felt her heart sinking.
Sergio looked at Clara. Sighing, he said, “Was it because I spoiled you too much?”
“Mr. Brooks, I…”
Clara was hesitant to speak.
Sergio continued, “The teachers said that you would skip classes for no reason these days, and you even asked someone else to sign your attendance for you. Also, your results are getting worse recently.”
Clara wanted to explain, but Sergio said, “You’re talented, yes, but it doesn’t mean that you can overlook your studies.”
