Chapter 834: Chapter 834: In Love with His Own Student

In the end, Damian Knight simply let Summer Monroe rest her head on his shoulder, allowing her to cry into his clothes.

In fact, he was a bit of a germaphobe. Who in the past would dare dirty his clothes? But now, he willingly let Summer cry on his shoulder.

Tears and snot, he didn’t care at all, as if his aversion to filth had been cured.

At first, Summer cried silently, then she began to sob, and finally, she just let it all out without knowing how.

The recent pressure, helplessness, panic, and other emotions, all released at this moment.

Many people had asked her about her criteria for a partner, but in truth, what she wanted was simple—a shoulder she could lean on and cry without worry, someone who wouldn’t flinch from seeing her weak and disheveled side.

After a long time, Summer’s emotions finally calmed down.

"You haven’t had lunch, have you?" Damian Knight gently wiped a tear from the corner of her eye with his thumb, asking softly, "What do you feel like eating?"

"I want to go to Luna Restaurant."

"Alright, it’s all up to you."

On the way to Luna Restaurant, Summer asked about Stella Monroe.

"Did they find any suspicious people on the plane?"

Damian Knight nodded and said, "Yes, I was just about to tell you. They found two people who might be wearing human skin masks and have begun tailing them. I’ll let you know as soon as there’s news."

"Okay." Summer nodded, her fists clenching involuntarily.

...

On the other side.

Claire Woodward also finished watching Henry Stanton’s trial online.

Upon hearing Summer admit she wasn’t Henry Stanton’s biological daughter, a look of disdain flashed in her eyes.

So, it turns out Summer is just a bastard child born to Luna Monroe and some other man?

She thought Summer was so high and mighty! Really, doesn’t Damian Knight have any sense to fall for such a lowly girl?

No matter how good Summer’s medical skills are, so what? A person’s birth determines their future.

Summer could never wash away the fact that she is a bastard.

While Claire woodward was mentally cursing Summer, she suddenly received a text message from Butler Woodward.

"Miss Claire, the master announced that the family will soon choose the next Family Head. Please remember to bring Mr. Osborne to tonight’s family gathering."

Claire was slightly surprised; the timing seemed earlier than expected.

She immediately called Mio Osborne, but he directly declined.

With no alternative, Claire had to take advantage of lunch break to drive to Crestfall University and find Mio Osborne in his office.

Mio was correcting assignments in his office when he heard the door open, thinking a student had come to ask a question.

However, when he looked up, he saw Claire Woodward smiling as she walked through the door.

His expression immediately turned sour, and he asked coldly, "Didn’t I tell you not to casually come looking for me at school?"

Claire’s smile instantly froze.

She walked forward with a stern face and said, "Mio Osborne, it would be best if you remember that you were the one who agreed to marry me in the first place!"

"That was because you forced me." Mio gritted his teeth.

Claire’s good mood was completely destroyed by this sentence.

She pulled out a chair and sat down in front of Mio, trying to hold back her emotions, "I didn’t come here to cause trouble today. We have a family gathering tonight, and you must come with me."

"I have evening classes, I don’t have time." Mio bluntly refused.

"Fine then." Claire nodded, "You don’t have to come, but I can assure you, if you don’t cooperate with me today, then tomorrow the whole school will know that as a teacher, you fell in love with your own student. And that student is just a bastard child born to her mother and another man!"

"Claire Woodward!" Mio slammed the desk and stood up, his face full of anger.

Seeing the expression on Mio’s face, Claire finally felt much more relieved.

However, neither noticed the person standing at the office door.
