My Second Husband novel Chapter 1201

As the crowd was discussing among each other, Eddison had already walked to the other side of the car and opened the door. Then, he held a girl's hand and helped her to get out of the car.

His actions caused an uproar from the crowd.

"It's Rachel. How dare they come to the university blatantly?! Hurry up and call Mr. Harrington here!"

"Yes, they must be punished for bringing disgrace to our university!"

Eddison did not respond to their denunciation. Instead, he held Rachel's slightly cold hand.

He reassured her, "Don't worry, I'm here."

Rachel looked at him with a smile. They passed through the crowd and the people around them couldn't stop castigating them.

He whispered in Rachel's ear, "Believe me, they'll have to eat their words in the end."

Rachel was amused by him.

He was comforting her as if they were children. She found that he was somewhat adorable.

Meanwhile, Sierra stood by a window in a nearby building, watching all of it unfold quietly.

She seemed unruffled by people's remarks about Eddison and Rachel.

"Well, you should have chosen me. This is what you get for making the wrong decision," she murmured, as though she was talking to Eddison.

The girls, who had been sucking up to her, were standing behind her. One of them said, "They'll be kicked out of the university soon. Sierra, have I done a good job?"

"Mr. Harrington is here. Things are getting intense!"

They held their breath and looked over, only to see that the Director of Student Affairs, Mr. Harrington, was walking briskly toward the campus gate. He was nicknamed 'Mr. Poker Face' due to his sternness.

Seeing him approaching, everyone quickly made way for him.

He walked all the way to Eddison while all eyes were on them.

Eddison greeted him politely with a smile on his face, "Good morning, Mr. Harrington." At the sight of that, the crowd clicked their tongues and started to whisper among each other.

"I can't believe he's still able to smile. Are we dreaming, or Mr. Poker Face has become more lenient towards troublesome students?"

"I think he knows that he's so screwed. That's probably why he has given up resisting."

"I've heard that Mr. Poker Face has just expelled a disobedient student not long ago. Rumor has it that Mr. Poker Face placed that student on a blacklist too. Now, he can't study in any of the universities in Country M. It's horrible!"

"Look, Mr. Poker Face is raising his hand!"

Everyone waited for his next move with bated breaths.

Someone even reckoned that he would slap or beat Eddison.

Unexpectedly, he patted him consolingly on the shoulder.

Then, he wore an apologetic smile on his face.

"You can rest assured that I'll settle the problem. Leave it to me and just focus on your studies!"

"Thank you, Mr. Harrington!"

After that, Eddison shook hands with Mr. Harrington.

The onlookers were all astounded.

"What's going on?"

"Why did Mr. Poker Face become so affable all of a sudden?" "You don't say! Isn't this too f*cking scary?" Before that student's voice died away, Mr. Harrington had walked to him.

"What did you just say?"

The student hurriedly pleaded for mercy.
