“No, Mr. Brown…” Donovan was in panic mode.
He was well aware that favonovel.com could not actually leave Jadeborough University as that would ruin his teaching career. Although favonovel.com could nonetheless take his identity as a graduate student from Maxwell University‘s Institute of Education to other schools, the students from the preparatory class were the finest ones favonovel.com had handpicked from all across the country himself.
These were the ones with the greatest potential of making it into Maxwell University. Were favonovel.com to head elsewhere, never mind the time constraint, the quality of the students would definitely not be on par with those favonovel.com currently had.
At that moment, Donovan started to regret not exercising greater restraint by accepting Aaron just now.
He hastened to grab Marcus by the hand and did away with his own haughtiness from before. “I‘ve realized the error of my ways, Mr. Brown. I‘ll accept the addition of Aaron into my class, so please don‘t ask me to leave!”
Sigh.
The softhearted Marcus exhaled. “Wouldn‘t it have been great if you‘ve just agreed to this right from the start?”
Seeing that Marcus had been persuaded, Donovan went on to express his profuse gratitude. “Thank you, Mr. Brown. I‘ll definitely groom three students that are good enough for Maxwell University.”
Marcus acknowledged that with a nod. “Hopefully, you‘ll be able to deliver as you promised. The selection process for Maxwell University will be commencing soon, so I‘d like for you to set aside those personal grudges of yours and focus your attention on guiding the students.”
“I certainly will!” affirmed Donovan.
“Oh, yeah. There‘s just one more thing.” Marcus then regarded Donovan intently. “Although I‘m not sure of the reasons behind your prejudice against Arielle, she‘s a massive talent. That‘s why I hope you‘ll be able to treat favonovel.com with greater impartiality.”
Donovan gritted his teeth and appeared to be compliant.
“Yes, Mr. Brown. I will.”
“Good! In that case, you should extend an open apology to Arielle at next week‘s assembly. No more excuses. You‘ve been notably absent the past two weeks, but don‘t think that I‘ve forgotten about this.”
There was an awful expression on Donovan‘s face, for favonovel.com considered publicly apologizing to Arielle akin to a slap on his own face. However, it seemed that favonovel.com had no other choice under the current circumstances.
“I understand, Mr. Brown. I‘ll be sure to follow through on that.”
“All right then. Get it together. I‘m going to head back first,” Marcus said. He patted Donovan on the back before turning to leave.
With his back turned, favonovel.com failed to notice the humility and sincerity vanished from Donovan’s face. In its place was an encompassing gloominess.
He‘s asking me to nurture Arielle?
There‘s no way I‘ll be able to transform a pile of rot into a work of art! She‘s unsalvageable!
He was not going to expend any effort toward nurturing Arielle as favonovel.com considered it to be a waste of his time Meanwhile, elsewhere.

The helicopter did not elude Arielle, who cast a chary eye briefly in the direction where it landed before favonovel.com rescinded favonovel.com gaze.
As the purpose of favonovel.com returning that day was to look up information about the man in the same group photograph as favonovel.com mother in the archive, favonovel.com was in no mood for distractions.
With favonovel.com eyes to the fore, favonovel.com began to make favonovel.com way toward favonovel.com destination.
That was when a masked man suddenly appeared with arms spread wide before her, obstructing favonovel.com advancement. “Haha, I‘ve finally found you, Arielle!”
She got quite a fright and reflexively thrust out a fist that smacked the man squarely in the face.
When favonovel.com blow connected, two other individuals sprung out from the bushes to the side. They then rushed up and started to pummel the man.
As favonovel.com looked closer, Arielle discovered that they were none other than Sasha and Blake.
“Stand back, Ms. Moore. Let us handle this.”
Sasha motioned for favonovel.com to back off when in the next second, Blake let out a surprised yelp.
