"Do you think I want to be here?!" Windsor Myres was furious too, flung her book with a wave of her hand, and turned to leave.

Her gaze collided with Camden River’s deep, enigmatic eyes.

She hesitated for a moment.

Camden River’s eyes were attractive, single-lidded and slightly narrow, but because of their deep sockets and pitch-black pupils, they had no hint of femininity, only a sense of clean, handsome aesthetics.

He never had such an unfathomable gaze, completely calm, with no indication of his emotions.

He must be angry.

He had been angry from the moment she started questioning, and amidst his confrontation with Professor Lee, things escalated step by step to this point.

His thin lips were already pressed into a sharp line.

Windsor Myres was also on the verge of eruption, fearing that if she stayed and continued the confrontation, she might say something that no one could tolerate.

She had never been disciplined, from childhood to adulthood, thus she had no shortage of teachers reprimanding her.

Of course—

There were also many teachers driven crazy by her, some even refusing to teach.

She indeed lacked guidance.

Cesar Myres had too many kids to manage.

He always adopted a hands-off approach and settled issues with money. Because of an incident where a girl jumped off a building, he lost his temper and severely scolded her, telling her to cause fewer troubles.

But—

If she didn’t cause trouble, she really didn’t know what else to do.

Besides, the fault in that incident wasn’t entirely hers. What if that girl was the top student in the school? Being the top student doesn’t mean she’s perfect and outstanding, does it? Being the top student allowed her to secretly belittle and despise Windsor Myres, did it? Who did she think she was?!

Matters of emotion are willing ones. Her boyfriend, if Windsor Myres wanted him, she merely needed to beckon.

It was just that the girl couldn’t cope and jumped off in despair.

It was no one’s fault.

Windsor Myres tightened her hand at her side, looked at Camden River, and pursed her lips to say, "Let me out."

Camden River stood up with a start, grabbed her wrist, and took her directly to the hallway.

He said coldly, "Apologize!"

Windsor Myres was stunned, looked at him incredulously.

What did he mean, asking her to apologize to Professor Lee?

Why should she?

Who had gone too far?! 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

He had said things to that extent, the fact that she hadn’t erupted was already giving him considerable face.

Windsor Myres held her neck stiffly, and said one word at a time, "I. Won’t!"

"I’ll say it again, apologize to Professor Lee!" Camden River repeated word by word, each one seemingly forced through closed lips.

Professor Lee was traditional and rigid, meticulous and rigorous in teaching, strict in temperament, although sometimes unsympathetic, generally speaking, he was a rare professor devoted wholly to academic pursuits.

And...

Camden River suddenly felt that he and his own father were somewhat alike.

At this thought, he momentarily lost focus.

Windsor Myres looked at him, and as she noticed his sudden quietness, the flash of bewilderment in his deep eyes vanished quickly, leaving her stunned for a moment.

She didn’t speak, but Professor Lee said, "I don’t need your apology, leave."

Camden River released her hand.

Windsor Myres bit her lip and walked out directly.

As she left, Camden River came back to senses, feeling suffocated.

The eyes of the classmates in the whole classroom already made it hard for him to breathe, just like during the first roll call at the beginning of the semester. No, more than that, the first time he was white, Windsor Myres was black, they were opposed, previously unrelated.

This time—

He and Windsor Myres were together as one, Windsor Myres represented him, but it seemed he did not represent Windsor Myres.
