Chapter 210

"What would you like to eat?" Franklin asked gently, passing her the

menu.

“I will have stewed chicken, crispy fried shrimp, and sautéed

mushrooms,” Sylvia ordered some dishes readily.

It was not until she finished ordering that the rest of them started to

order.

Nathen saw this when he aggressively walked toward them with

Tammy.

The woman with clear bright eyes, white teeth, and delicate eyebrows

fluttered her long eyelashes. Her flawless fair complexion was pinky,

and her lips were tender and rosy like rose petals.

The man next to the woman was extraordinarily handsome with a

powerful vibe. Even only in a black shirt, he looked perfectly like the

leader among them.

Nathen's eyes were wide open as he recognized the rest.

He blurted out, "Mr. Carrillo, why are you having dinner with this vicious

woman? Don't you know she..."

Before he got to finish, Mr. Carrillo frowned and interrupted him

abruptly, "Mr. Beasley, what are you talking about? Dr. Sylvia is a

phenomenal doctor. She has saved the lives of many dying patients.

How can you be so rude?"

Nathen Beasley, the associate dean, had a low EQ.

He had a favorable family background but had been single for many

years because of his low EQ.

He was about to reach his forties, and yet he hadn't married.

He was good at his job, but not good at socializing with people.

Mr. Carrillo glanced at Tammy, who was holding her hands with Nathen,

and soon understood what was going on.

He felt a wave of wild fury overcome him. He almost had the urge to

strangle Nathen to death.

Sylvia was an eminent doctor he invited to give the lecture to the

students. What should he do if Nathen pissed her off?

"Mr. Carrillo, don't be deceived by her beautiful look. She bullies her

sister, her stepmother, her stepbrother, and her grandmother. She has

done all those evil things !" Agitated by Mr. Carrillo's preference over

Sylvia, he couldn't help but shout, "You can ask my girlfriend if you

don't believe it. She has lived with Sylvia for many years."

His words made Tammy become the focus of people's attention.

Tammy couldn't believe Nathen, that stupid man, did such a stupid

thing.

That caught her off guard. Her face was blushing, and her heart was

pounding, not least because of those sharp gazes upon her.

"My father is in prison all because of her. My mom is sick too, and it's

her fault too."

"Did she ask your dad to evade tax? Did she make you date Dale

Shea?" Franklin's face darkened and he shot daggers at Tammy. He

would not allow anyone to denigrate his woman in public.

He thought Tammy would reflect on her misdeeds after the Andrews

family got into trouble, but she turned out to be worse.

A leopard can't change its spots.

Franklin's icy look sent a chill down Tammy's spine.

She sought protection by standing behind Nathen's back.

Nathen was trying to act like a manly man in his girlfriend's presence.

"Mr. Maskelyne, I know you are a respectable man. But Sylvia is really

bad, so you'd better stay away from her, or she will put you in big

trouble someday.”

"Shut up!" The man was forbidding and menacing.

The atmosphere at the restaurant was very tense.

Franklin gave a stern look at the couple before glancing at Jasper, who

was behind him.

Jasper got the hint and dialed a number.

Dozens of bodyguards in black suits swarmed from all directions to

surround the couple.

Although he was from a well-educated, rich family, Nathen was just

someone with a daily routine between home and school.

He had never been in such a situation.

With a pale face, he cried, "What... what are you doing?"

Franklin was holding a glass of wine with his slender fingers. The red

liquor in the glass was in sharp contrast to the color of his fingers,

creating a strong visual impact, with his fingers getting more eye-

catching.

The man took a sip of the wine elegantly and said indifferently, “Throw

him out!”

"We are here to eat. Who are you to cast us out!"

“You are so dictatorial. You think you own all the restaurants in the

world?" Nathen protested.

The bodyguards, however, refused to argue with him, dragging him and

Tammy out.

They did it ruthlessly and rudely.

Mr. Carrillo wiped his sweaty forehead and said to Franklin with an

awkward smile, "Mr. Maskelyne, I am really sorry. That guy is stupid

and has a low EQ."

"Dr. Sylvia, please don't be mad. I will give him a piece of my mind

later. And he must have misjudged you because of that girl."

"He's an absolute disgrace to Vista University!"

Franklin, however, remained silent with his eyes lowered.

It was hard for others to know what he was thinking about.

What dreaded Mr. Carrillo more was that Franklin would blame them,

the management of the school for that.

Moreover, he had meant to invite Franklin to be the guest of the

graduation party, and Sylvia to attend it.

Now that all his plans had been ruined by that stupid Nathen. Thus, he

hated Nathen very much.

The medical school of Vista University always lagged behind Abbott

Medical University. That happened for a reason!

With such a lunatic associate dean, how could it possibly thrive?

He was exasperated!

Mr. Carrillo was so mad that he wished he could rush to Nathen and

beat him hard.

"Don't worry, Mr. Carrillo." Sylvia smiled and got him a drumstick. "He

represents only himself. What he says or does has nothing to do with

you. Since I have promised you to give the lecture, I will do it."

“You have both a good look and a good heart, Miss Andrews." Mr.

Carrillo was relieved that Sylvia would not go back on her word.

"No wonder your school has never made it to the top ranks. The faculty

member of your school is a real eye-opener for me," said Franklin with

sarcasm.

He would show no mercy to anyone who upset his woman. Nathen

must want to die to insult his woman in public.

And Tammy, that stupid woman, who didn't seem to learn her lesson

yet, kept harassing his woman like a housefly.

Franklin had expected Tammy to stop making trouble after the video in

which she was masturbating with toys was played in the hospital.

Apparently, he was wrong.

Franklin sneered and beckoned Jasper over, and the latter soon bent

toward him.

Jasper nodded and left after Franklin whispered something to his ear.

Sylvia raised her eyebrow, wondering what the man was up to.

All of a sudden, Franklin grabbed her by the hand. "No one could get

away from bullying you."

Sylvia was speechless

She didn't think she had been bullied.

She just didn't care about a psycho like Tammy Andrews.
