Chapter Eighteen: The Sour-Sweet Rhythm (Part Two)

The next morning, Cora Franklin received a phone call asking her to confirm certain matters. Excited by the news, she rushed to respond. In her mind, it must mean the investigation into the source of Finn Lewis’s money was completed, and it was obviously illegal. If not, why would the police want her collaboration? So, thrilled, Cora Franklin hurried off! Even though she knew she couldn’t get her hands on the money, the mere thought of Finn’s displeased expression made her day!

“How dare he insult me in public by flaunting his wealth? Now his scam is exposed! Losers will always be losers. Who knows where he stole the money from?” An elated Cora Franklin turned up at the police station and upon seeing Sharp James, she quickly asked, “Where’s Finn, Director Samuel?” “Finn? He’s gone home,” replied a stunned Sharp James.

“Gone home? Why did you let him go? I had filed a complaint against him! You shouldn’t have released him until the probe is over!” Cora Franklin fired back loudly.

“Of course, we’re done with the investigation! You were called here as the complainant to be informed that Finn’s money sources are all legit, hence we have no grounds to detain him anymore. This case is now closed. Also concerning the matter of the missing money, Finn has dropped pursuit. We thought it was prudent to inform you,” Sharp James explained rapidly.

“Donated? He donated everything to you?” Cora’s eyes turned deathly red at the news. He donated all the money, not even a penny for me?! But, realizing her lack of importance, she grew defeated. Yes, as a university student, Cora wasn’t illiterate. Since the police station had cleared everything, it implied that Finn’s money came from legitimate sources.

If Finn’s money was legitimate, did it mean she had missed an opportunity on a millionaire who could casually throw around two million?

Sharp James noticed her defeat. He couldn’t help but curl his lips disdainfully thinking about today’s women’s entitlement. They would put up statuses daily asking why men don’t love them. But when someone loves them, they complain about not receiving enough money. No wonder so many men resort to mistresses and second wives.

Coincidentally, moths always get attracted to fire, and Cora’s case was even worse. With that, he couldn’t help adding, “Finn is extremely rich, not just from the two million. He supposedly earned over a hundred million Flame Nation coins from an invention he sold, of which he has already received over a hundred million.”

A hundred million?! For Cora, two million was already astronomical. A hundred million was an even more unreachable figure! Remorse flooded her being and she hardly knew how she exited the police station or how she got back to university. But when she returned, she was greeted with shocking news.

“…After deliberation, we’ve decided that our third-year e-commerce major, Cora Franklin, student ID: 3456* ** has brought considerable disrepute to our university due to her misconduct. Following our findings, Cora Franklin will be under probation! We urge all our faculty and students to learn from this incident.”

Reading the announcement on the bulletin board, Cora felt as though the sky was falling! What was going on? How did everything change in just one night?! Cora was lucky enough that the university spared her the mortification of revealing the reason for her disciplinary action. Otherwise, she would’ve lost all dignity.

Even though the announcement didn’t mention the reason, almost everyone knew why Cora was disciplined. Not only Cora, but the entire student population was shocked to hear the news! What the hell is going on? Such drastic changes in just one night!

Finn wasn’t punished for disrespecting Robert Thomp in his office and speaking the words many students wanted to say to him. Rumors were swirling that he was in line for the “Triple A” student award and even the presidency of the student union. And what about the previously domineering Cora and her new boyfriend, Yuri Lucas?

Everyone knew Yuri Lucas was a high school friend of Finn, but, they had had a big fallout over a girl. Yuri Lucas held a grudge since and started dating Finn’s girlfriend the moment she became available. But with the current revelations, what was the truth? It appeared more likely that the girl was discarded by Finn and picked up by an overjoyed Yuri Lucas.

And why did the university’s high-ranking members decide this way? An influential faculty head like Robert Thomp couldn’t even sway the decision. Guess what the counter-attack was?

The entire university’s forum was in a frenzy. Imaginative dudes were creating all sorts of wild hypotheses. According to the most popular post: “This pace, this thrill, beats any Hollywood film. From now on, Finn will be the representative of the underdogs in our university!”

Finn didn’t return to his dorm last night. He stayed in a hotel as he had matters to discuss with Zero, an Al. When Finn returned the next day, he found himself stunned by the events that had unfolded in his absence. Nonetheless, the only sentiment he expressed was, to avoid dying, don’t do stupid things.

As for Cora, when Finn had thrown wads of Flame Nation currency at her, he was over her. Women who would stoop to any low for money like her weren’t worth his time. But if Cora was just a small character in this saga, there was another he wasn’t planning to let off!

A year ago, when he accompanied a senior female colleague drinking — she had downed three bottles of white liquor, violently vomiting and sobbing —

Finn had vowed revenge. He didn’t have the power back then, but now, even if he got expelled from university, he didn’t care.. Who cares about Robert Thomp’s influential background?
