Chapter 57 Can't Leave Directly

When Angus and Kassy heard about the Gibson Group, they were totally shocked. "The Gibson Group? You mean..."

The Gibson Group had been blowing up ever since they teamed up with the Davis Group. In just a month or two, they were already making a name for themselves in Sovereign City.

Chloe chimed in, "Yep, I've got a connection at the Gibson Group and can totally get you and Kassy jobs, no problem. But listen, we might be regular folks, but we can't just let this slide. Ford might be the Dean, but he can't just kick out innocent students. And Lucy's got it out for me, Chloe. No way I'm letting Rena take the fall for me."

Chloe's determined stance left Angus and Kassy with no choice but to agree. Not long after, Zara and Tony showed up at the Penrose residence and got to work. Within a few hours, everything was set up perfectly.

Meanwhile, Grant had set up a dinner with Beckett Wallace, the president of Quest University, and Ford. When Ford found out Grant wanted to have dinner with him, he got all dressed up, hoping to impress Grant and boost his career. Grant was curious about the beef between Chloe and Lucy, so he tried to get the scoop from Ford. To his surprise, Ford twisted the story, making Chloe out to be the bad guy. But Grant, knowing Chloe was reasonable despite her temper, saw through Ford's mix of truth and lies.

Grant didn't put much stock in Ford's words. He remembered Chloe's request to have Ford revoke Rena's expulsion.

Ford, not wanting to mess up in front of Grant, quickly assured him, "Mr. Martin, don't worry. Since you asked, I can take care of this. I'll start working on it as soon as I get back tonight. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't even consider letting such a disgraceful student back into the school."
