Chapter 74
Reaching out, Maeve gripped Charlie’s sleeve. “Stop!”
Charlie turned around, asking in a muffled voice, “What?”
“Did you do it?”
“What did I do?”
Charlie was stunned.
“The director.”
Maeve got straight to the point.
Charlie thought about it for a moment. “Zion probably did it.”
“Why would Zion care about these things?”
Maeve suddenly recalled the incident that day, when Clara and the others were on the ground floor of the
apartment complex.
It might actually have been Zion.
But at that moment, Maeve’s doubts were replaced by another question. “Did you get so broke that you
have to eat here?”
The commoner’s cafeteria at Amenam University didn’t look like a place where Charlie would visit at all.
“I’m trying to save up in every way I can.”
Charlie’s reply was clear and concise.
After all, Zion would give up eight billion dollars one moment, and the next, he would turn on the lights of the whole company throughout the night. He even bought a house that was renovated luxuriously, and he had also spent money to build a whole skyscraper.
In the two weeks he spent courting the girl, he had almost used up all the money he had in his account.
So there shouldn’t be anything wrong with Charlie trying to save some money!
Maeve called Charlie over to eat with them.
Maeve asked, “What exactly is Zion trying to do by calling over the director’s men?”
“There’s something called ‘setting an example.“”
Maeve said sternly, “Tell me the details.”
“He didn’t mention any details. He just said that this is called ‘setting an example.”
Maeve fell silent.

She pondered the meaning behind those words.
Zion was a young wolf, and he had fierce determination burning within him. Still, he was more or less a
little reserved.
He might have another motive for doing that.
Maeve turned and asked Sheldon, “And then? What happened next?”
“Nothing. Still, it was quite funny to see Clara trying her best to push the blame on Jenny.”
