He had screamed at her, calling her ungrateful and unfilial. In front of all her seniors and the faculty, he had even accused her of being promiscuous and having loose morals.
In the end, to protect its reputation, the leadership at the Helios Institute for Advanced Minds expelled her.
She still remembered the looks in their eyes—the faculty, her seniors. They were filled with contempt and disgust.
It was as if they were wondering how they hadn’t seen what a despicable person she was. As if someone like her had no place at their esteemed institute, bringing shame upon it.
Patrick saw the panic in Natalie’s eyes. He put a hand on her shoulder and said, “Natalie, don’t worry. This isn’t the Helios Institute anymore. Even if he tries to cause a scene, I won’t let him.”
Back then, when Martin Doyle had come to cause trouble, Patrick had wanted to protect Natalie, but he lacked the power and authority.
Over the years, he had worked tirelessly to advance himself. Now, he was the head of this institute.
Finally, at this moment, he had the power to protect her.
Patrick turned to the guard. “That man is just a troublemaker. Get rid of him.”
“But he’s causing a big scene at the entrance,” the guard said.
“If he’s making a scene, call the police and have him arrested. You don’t need to come back here for instructions.”
Patrick was about to lead Natalie away, but the guard added, “But he said he has something very important to tell the leadership about Ms. Verdan. He said if you don’t listen, you’ll regret it.”
Martin Doyle was creating such a commotion outside that even the security guards were curious about what was going on.
