Chapter 76
“I’m sorry, I…
Clara’s tears were about to fall, but this time, Sergio didn’t intend to give in.
“You should be aware of the rules at Amenam University. If your results keep getting worse, you’ll lose the scholarship if you don’t get into the top ten spots in your department. You’ll have to pay your own tuitio in full.”
Clara was aware of that rule early on, but she didn’t expect Sergio to say such things.
She looked at Sergio, stunned. For a moment, she couldn’t quite come to her senses.
Sergio’s intention was clearer than ever. If her grades kept worsening, Sergio wouldn’t help her anymore, nor would he help her stay at Amenam University. She would have to shoulder all her expenses on her
own.
“Mr. Brooks, I’ve repented now. I won’t do it ever again.”
Clara immediately surrendered.
For now, all her expenditures at Amenam University were paid for by Sergio. Sergio would even give her an allowance of ten thousand dollars per month! Hence, she didn’t have to work part–time to earn money; she just had to focus on her studies.
But as soon as she lost all these, she had no choice but to work part–time. The tuition at Amenam University was unimaginably pricey.
She not only had to pay 300 thousand dollars per year for tuition, but she also had to pay for the lodging and miscellaneous fees. In total, she would have to spend 400 thousand dollars every year.
No matter what she did, she would never be able to earn that much money.
“I’m glad you understand.”
Sergio averted his gaze as he said, “You should go back and focus on your studies. If your results don’t improve in the exam next month, you’re on your own,
Clara got out of the car dejectedly. She had a dazed look in her eyes.
She didn’t dare imagine if she could still survive without Sergio.
Sergio’s car pulled up at the gates of Amenam University. Through the window, he could see the upscale. apartment complex opposite the university.
“Stop the car.”
Larry stepped on the brakes, asking, “Mr. Brooks, are you going to visit Madam?”
Sergio glanced coldly at Larry through the rearview mirror. Larry Instantly fell silent.
Noticing that the lights were still on upstairs, Sergio called Maeve.
Chapter 76
The phone rang a few times before it was picked up. Maeve answered the call, staying silent for a while. before asking, “What is it?”
“How many days has it been since you last went home?”
Sergio spoke calmly, but he sounded a little dissatisfied.
Maeve replied, “I have classes to attend for the past few days. I’ve already informed you about it a few
days ago.”
Sergio tugged at his tie, feeling a little stifled. “And that’s why you went off the grid for three days?”
“I have classes to attend, and you’re very busy too…”
“From tomorrow onward, send me real–time updates on everything you’re doing”
“Huh?”
“Also, go to bed early.”
With that, Sergio ended the call without waiting for Maeve’s reply.
“Hello? Hello?”
Maeve frowned. She felt puzzled as she looked at her phone.
“What’s the matter? Is your husband looking for you?”
Lyra was munching on seafood pasta in the living room. At that moment, she had removed her makeup. but she still looked stunning
Ever since the day when Zion introduced Maeve to Lyra, the two got closer to each other. Even though this was their second time meeting each other, this was their third day chatting on WhatsApp. They had already become gossiping comrades, and they withheld nothing from each other.
“I have no idea what’s come over Sergio. He told me to give him real–time updates starting tomorrow.”
Maeve shook her head. In the past, Sergio never once cared what she was doing. So, his sudden decision today was a mystery to her.
“He must be suspecting that you’re seeing someone else! He’s such a petty man! He’s a terrible husband.”
Lyra wiped her mouth as she said, “You should just kick him out and marry someone else!”
“Who?”
“I think my brother is a decent candidate. Why don’t you give him a try?”
