Because I Was an and He Threw Away 289

Chapter 289 Throw Your Power Around 

Midway through Nancy’s research project, she hit a snag the conclusion she’d reached was dead wrong. 

News of this fiasco zipped around the school like wildfire, and it wasn’t long before Oliver caught wind of it. 

Oliver had long pegged Nancy as lacking the chops for a doctorate. 

So, when they appeared in front of him, his mood soured. “What’s the deal?” he grumbled. 

The campus was bustling with students. Not one to cause a scene, Ethan subtly squinted and proposed, “Let’s find a quieter spot to talk.” 

Oliver could sense the hostility in Ethan’s move, but he nodded in agreement. 

They made their way to a cozy eatery, where Ethan secured a private booth. 

Once the orders were placed, Oliver couldn’t hold his tongue. “Mr. Wilson, come on, spill the beans,” he urged. 

Ethan’s hand instinctively drifted to his pack of cigarettes. A smoke would have hit the spot, but with Nancy in the mix, he stuffed it back in his pocket.

Then, fixing his gaze on Oliver, he laid it on the line, “Professor Jones, no beating around the bush. If you don’t help Nancy get than doctorate, the Wilson Group’s annual cash flow to the med school might dry up.” 

The threat hung in the air, clear as day. 

Oliver let out a scoff. “Ethan, you’re pulling my leg, right? You want to take on the government?” 

Sure, Ethan’s money had kept the med school afloat, but it was also riding on government support. 

Ethan trying to strong–arm Oliver into helping Nancy graduate by yanking the funding? It was a far–fetched idea. 

Oliver was still reeling from the audacity of it all. 

He just couldn’t believe Ethan would go this far. 

Maybe Ethan saw the disbelief on Oliver’s face. He stood up, his tone firm. “Professor Jones, I’m dead serious. Don’t believe me? Let’s see how this plays out. The fate of the med school is in your hands.” 

With that, Ethan ushered Nancy out of the booth, leaving Oliver sitting there, shell–shocked. 

Before long, Oliver’s phone rang. On the other end, a voice said, “Professor Jones, looks like the research gear won’t be showing 

up.”

Oliver was taken aback. “What gives?” he naked. 

30. Jers from higher up. There’s nothing we can do,” the voice 

replied, and the line went dead. 

Sitting in the cold, silent booth, Oliver dialed Ethan’s number. 

Ethan picked up right away, his voice dripping with smugness. “Professor Jones, had a change of heart?” 

Oliver’s temper flared. “Ethan, this is a school, not your personal playground to throw your power around!” 

“All you need to do is tell Aaron to come up with a feasible research topic for me. Nancy can handle the experiments and write the paper by herself,” Ethan said. 

Oliver scoffed at the idea. “For a woman, you’re stooping to such low–level tricks. Ethan, you’re even more pathetic than I imagined,” he jeered. 

Ethan kept quiet, brushing off the mockery. 

Seeing his silence, Oliver continued, “Nancy doesn’t have the chops to be at the top. Even if you manage to pull some strings to get her there, she’s bound to crash and burn.” 

With that, he hung up. 

He knew he was in Ethan’s control.

That afternoon, as soon as Emily got off work, Aaron showed up. 

“Eat together?” he asked. 

After a brief hesitation, Emily agreed, “Sure,” 

The last time Ethan called her back to Joy Gardens from Carter Manor, she promised Aaron to take him out for a meal later. 

Since she was free today, she said yes. 

At the restaurant, Aaron let Emily order, but she pushed the menu back. “Aaron, I’m treating tonight. You choose what we cat,” she said firmly. 

Hearing this, Aaron smiled and took the menu. 

After placing the order, Emily looked up to call the waiter. Just then, the curtain at the entrance was pulled aside, and a couple 

walked in. 

It was Alexander, looking handsome and charming, with a tender look in his eyes. 

Beside him was a woman in a soft white dress and a tan 4/6

She was fully made–up, and Alexander had his arm around her 

shoulders. 

Their entrance caught everyone’s attention in the restaurant. 

Emily had seen this woman on TV. 

She was clearly a well–known actress. 

As expected, Alexander was a ladies‘ man. 

There were always beautiful women around him, and Emily was nothing special. 

When Alexander passed by with the actress in his arms, Emily was looking at her phone, and Aaron was pouring her a cup of 

hot water. 

After filling the cup, Aaron slid it over and said, “It’s pretty dry in LA. A bit of hot water will do your throat good.” 

Emily looked up at Aaron and smiled, “Thanks, Aaron.” 

Whether on purpose or just being affectionate, Alexander and the actress were strolling extremely slowly. 

Even after passing Emily’s table, they didn’t sit down right away. Instead, they started flirting brazenly in the middle of the 

restaurant.

There were quite a few diners, but Alexander didn’t seem to care at all. His hand was on the actress waist, and she was snuggled up against his chest. 

“Mr. Lessing, you’re so naughty! Holding me so tight. You’re making me wet,” the actress coocd, and then gave his abdomen a little pat. 

Alexander grinned broadly. “Well, you’re the one who’s clinging to me like this; of course you get wet.” 

Then he burst into laughter. 

They were right in front of Emily, and every word of their conversation was clearly audible to her.
