Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover

Chapter 1620 Taking The Bait

“Listen up! Your king personally invited Ms. Hayes to study here, yet you roughed her up today. We will not let this incident slide easily,” Sam warned the female students before supporting Vivian and leaving the cafeteria with her.

The group of female students stood at the same spot. After regaining their composure, they paled as they belatedly realized the gravity of the situation.

That’s right. We totally forgot about the new transfer student’s identity.

Everyone began to regret their actions.

Meanwhile, Sam was prepared to bring Vivian back to the villa after exiting the cafeteria.

“Ms. Vivian, we’ll be skipping the rest of the classes today. Let’s head back.”

Sam was recruited after SteelFort received a massive blow from the battle with Eddie. That was around the time when Kurt joined.

However, he was eighteen that year, a year older than Vivian.

Hence, he would take more factors into consideration when he handled things.

To his dismay, Vivian rejected his suggestion and insisted on staying in school.

“Sam, I’m not going back. I let them beat me up for a reason. Also, you shouldn’t have shown up today. How could you appear on your own when I didn’t call for your help?”

Not only did she refuse, but she also rebuked him.NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.

Indeed, she deliberately allowed the female students to assault and injure her so that she could gain Jason’s attention. After all, he was the reason she was being bullied.

However, Sam thwarted her plans by showing up.

While Vivian was frowning in displeasure, the image of another handsome young man popped up in her mind.

If only Kurt were here. He understands me and knows what to do. There might not be a need for me to even come up with a strategy.

Sam went scarlet from Vivian’s admonishment. He stood in front of her with his head lowered and apologized, “It’s my fault. I’m willing to receive any form of punishment to atone for my mistakes!”

Nevertheless, the kindhearted Vivian could never bring herself to punish him.

After waving her hand irritably to dismiss the bodyguard, she sat in the classroom and laid her face on her desk.

She was so upset that she did not even bother to tend to her injuries.

While she was moping, someone suddenly came over from outside the classroom.

“Vivian!”

“Hmm?”

Vivian immediately lifted her head in response.

“P-Prince Jason?” When she saw the person who came looking for her, her beautiful eyes lit up. Even her bruised face suddenly seemed radiant.

Jason was confused by her reaction.

She’s so happy to see me?

The young man had hesitated for a long time before coming to look for Vivian. After seeing her expression at that time, he, too, perked up inexplicably.

By then, Vivian had already calmed down. “Prince Jason, why are you here? Did… Did you hear something? Those things that happened have nothing to do with you.”

Suddenly, she averted her gaze and covered her face with a book, obscuring the bruises on her face from Jason.

When he noticed her wounds, his gaze turned grim.

“Cedric, call the school’s doctor over to my private lounge.”

“Yes, Prince Jason.”

“Also, investigate those girls for me. Expel those who took part in assaulting her!”

Jason angrily instructed his guard to give a harsh punishment to those who had injured Vivian.

Vivian was stunned.

This young prince is avenging me? If I continue to use him, will I…

The warmhearted girl started to hesitate.

Right as the hesitation surfaced, her gaze fell upon Jason’s face, and the scene of Calvin’s tragic death reappeared in her mind.

Right. Why am I even hesitating? I can’t be softhearted when I’ve vowed to avenge Calvin and arrest the bad guys who caused his death. Besides, I have yet to know how the prince’s mother managed to alter his face.

In the end, Vivian clenched her fist and steeled her heart.

That day, not only did she follow Jason to his private lounge, but she also requested to revisit the royal residence in order to get the information that her father wanted as soon as possible.

“Prince Jason, I-I’m too scared to go home.”

“Why?” the young prince asked while dressing her wounds.

His mother’s warning had long fled his mind after he saw how gentle and adorable Vivian was.

Vivian made up an excuse, saying, “My bruises. If my daddy sees them, he will definitely complain to the school. He might even take it up to your father. Things will turn ugly when that happens.”

As expected, Jason’s expression immediately changed.

“Then… If you’re not going home, where will you go?”

“I’ll stay at a hotel.”

Lowering her head, she pretended to appear helpless.

Without even thinking about it, he said, “That won’t do. A young girl like you can’t stay in a hotel alone. Come home with me!”
