The lecturer was so scared that she was even shivering. Everyone looked at the lecturer, who stood by the door. The lecturer lowered her head. Her face was pale as she broke into a cold sweat.
Scarlette slyly cried out, "Our lecturer knows who did it."
Santiago looked at the lecturer with great interest. "Is that so?"
The lecturer took a few steps back and didn't say anything.
Santiago asked, "Who did it? Admit it now."
The whole class was silent, and Scarlette looked at the lecturer in a mischievous way.
Raeleigh then said, "That's it, I won't leave."
Santiago looked at her. Only then did he raise his eyebrows and asked, "You're not leaving?"
"No," Raeleigh replied. Then, Santiago let go of Raeleigh's hands and snatched the book from Raeleigh's hands. Then, he walked to his seat and sat down.
When Santiago sat down, everyone's hair stood on end. It was terrifying!
The lecturer trembled as she went back to the platform. She bent down and picked up the podium. If she had a choice, then she would have quit immediately. However, in Capital City, there was no other school that was as promising as Elkton University. Not only were the lecturers given benefits, it was also a thing of pride to admit to.
The lecturer took a long time to calm down. She looked at Raeleigh. Raeleigh was sitting on one side. It was impossible to go back to how things were before. So, she decided to change classes. Of course, she still needed to rely on Santiago for this matter.
After the lecturer got a fearful warning, class went on as usual and ended. Raeleigh told Santiago that she was going to change classes.
Scarlette was also present when Raeleigh mentioned it to Santiago. Santiago leaned against the wall as he thought about it before asking, "Which class do you want to switch to?"
Raeleigh froze as she did not expect that Santiago would agree without asking.
"As long as it's not the same classes as the Whalen siblings, I'm fine with any class." Raeleigh's demands were not too much.
It was not that she hated Deanna and Zorion. It was them who did not want to be in the same class as her.
Raeleigh said that she wanted to switch classes in the morning, and it was arranged in the afternoon.
Santiago consulted the dean to see which class was the best, along with Raeleigh and Scarlette.
Santiago could make the decision without telling anyone.
It didn't matter because he was a part of the Richards family.
Besides, he was known for causing trouble in Capital City. He'd compensate with money if he caused any inconvenience.
Those with discerning eyes felt that it was a threat, not an apology. But in the end, they had no choice but to accept it. There was no other way. They would just avoid him in the future.
Santiago opened the door. There sat a male lecturer in his fifties. When he saw Santiago, he frowned. "Santiago?"
"Hello, sir." Santiago greeted him. The male lecturer looked at Santiago and asked, "What's the matter?"
"You see, Raleigh and Scarlette here want to switch classes, I'm wondering if it is possible?" Santiago had spoken quite politely, it showed enough respect.
The male lecturer had heard of Raeleigh, so he glanced at her and said, "Take a seat at the back.
Don't disturb the other students."
"Thank you, sir." Santiago went to the back politely. Raeleigh, who was standing with Scarlette, followed him and sat down.
The lecturer was unsurprised by the situation and lowered his head to continue his lecture.
At the end of the class, the lecturer took a look at Santiago, turned around, and left. Just like that, they had all changed classes together. Everything was moving rather smoothly.
After the day's classes, Raeleigh and Scarlette went back to their dormitory to do their homework and relax while Santiago came to hang out with them, treating it as if it was his own room. Many girls were envious that Scarlette could meet up with Santiago every day for no valid reason.
