Betrayed, Then Back For Blood

Chapter 124

Ashton looked utterly shocked. “In your heart, is that the kind of person I am?”

Hamish rubbed his nose. To be honest, he felt guilty as soon as he said it. Ashton was a dignified heir to a powerful family. No matter how down and out he was, there was no need to stoop this low. “Just in case?”

Sure enough, not even a day had passed, and he had already received over a dozen complaint calls from professors, saying the library was nearly bursting with people. And outside the campus, a bunch of parents had gathered after hearing the news.
