Chapter 183: Mistaken Identity_1
Boom!
The onlookers felt their minds go blank, speechless at the shock of what unfolded before their eyes.
Everyone could hardly believe their eyes. Theo Carter, who used to strut around the school like he owned the place, was actually kneeling and apologizing to Vince Cooper?
How could this be possible?
The previous Theo Carter wouldn’t even think of apologizing, much less kneel. Even a slight defiance of his wishes would lead to his crazy retaliation.
And to kneel and apologize?
After a brief silence, the scene immediately erupted into chaos.
“What the fuck, what’s happening?”
“Has Theo Carter gone mad? He’s actually… kneeling to Vince Cooper?”
“Could he have been scared?”
“Maybe, Winston Carter had his legs broken by Vince Cooper’s boyfriend, maybe he’s scared too?”
Meanwhile, inside the girls’ dormitory, Cindy Harrison sat on her bed with a worried expression, lost in thought.
“Cindy, you don’t need to worry. Just keep it simple from now on; aside from going to class, stay in the dorm. I don’t believe that Theo Carter would dare to come here.”
“We won’t go anywhere either, we’ll stay with you in the dorm every day.”
“Right, if he dares to come, we’ll beat him up together!”
Vince felt a warmth in his heart and looked at his classmates and friends with a wry smile, shaking his head, “Forget it, if it really comes down to it… I’ll just drop out.”
Before he finished speaking, Theo Carter’s voice suddenly came from downstairs.
The girls’ faces changed, and they hurried to the window to look down, then all were stunned.
Cindy thought they were frightened and, feeling helpless, she got dressed and said, “You guys stay in the dorm; I’ll go down and see, he probably won’t take it out on you.”
“No, Cindy, come and see, Theo Carter is kneeling at the door, apologizing to you.”
“Kneeling… What are you talking about?”
Cindy was equally surprised and quickly ran over. She looked down and was instantly dumbfounded.
Turning her head in astonishment, she said to her classmates, “Pinch me, am I dreaming?”
“It’s true, you better go down and see for yourself.”
“Alright, I’m going down now.”
“We’re going too.”
The girls quickly got dressed and ran downstairs.
At the entrance of the dormitory building, Theo Carter knelt on the ground, feeling his face burn as he listened to the surrounding murmurs.
An indescribable humiliation spread throughout his heart.
However, he still clenched his fists and bit his teeth to endure it.
From a very young age, Wallace Carter had always told him and his brother that when it was time to lower their heads, they must do so.
Surviving was more important than anything!
The chaotic sound of footsteps rose, reaching Theo Carter’s ears like the most beautiful melody.
Slowly lifting his head, he saw the lovely face he had longed to see, always smiling, but now filled with shock.
“You’re here?”
“Theo Carter, what kind of game are you playing now? Let me tell you, I have a boyfriend now, there’s no chance for us.”
Cindy faced him with a cold expression, completely disbelieving that someone like Theo Carter would truly apologize, especially in such a humiliating way as kneeling.
A bitter taste spread in Theo’s mouth as he said helplessly, “Cindy, I’m sorry, I’m sincerely apologizing this time, please forgive me.”
As he spoke, he carefully stood up and handed the gift to Cindy.
Stunned, she took the gift subconsciously and said in disbelief, “You… you’re really apologizing to me?”
“Yes, a sincere apology.”
“And all that before…”
Slap!
Theo Carter violently slapped himself across the face, then said, “The things that happened before were my own fault, none of it was your concern. I won’t bother you anymore.”
“`
“Please… speak to Mr. Jensen for me and tell him I know I was wrong, and I’ll accept whatever punishment he decides.”
“Mr. Jensen?”
Vince Cooper suddenly realized and hurriedly ran back into the dormitory building to find a secluded spot, and then he called Greg Jensen.
Greg Jensen was sleeping and still a bit groggy when he answered the phone. He asked, “Hello, what’s up?”
“This morning, Theo Carter suddenly came over to apologize to me. I wanted to ask if it was you who…”
“Oh, just handle it yourself. If you don’t want to forgive him, just ignore him and leave him hanging.”
“Uh, okay… sure.”
After hanging up the phone, Vince Cooper still couldn’t quite believe that Theo Carter had actually caved just like that.
Looking at Theo Carter still kneeling on the ground, she hesitated for a moment before walking over, placed the gift in front of him, and said, “You can go. Let’s forget about the past.”
“You’ve forgiven me?”
Theo Carter looked up with a face full of surprise.
“We’re classmates; there’s nothing to forgive or not forgive. Just don’t come looking for me again.”
“Rest assured, I definitely won’t. I won’t harass you ever again.”
Theo Carter stood up with a face full of joy, nodding and bowing to Vince Cooper with a smile. “In the future, at Jamae University, if anyone dares to bother you, just tell me and I’ll take care of it for you.”
“Thanks, but no need.”
Vince Cooper said coldly, and then she walked toward the dormitory building.
Seeing this, Theo Carter became anxious and called out, “Vince Cooper, take these things with you.”
Vince Cooper didn’t turn back, and she didn’t even pause her strides, walking straight into the dormitory building.
Theo Carter hesitated for a moment, then came over to where Vince Cooper’s classmates were with a beaming smile, handed the items to them, and said with a laugh, “Vince Cooper doesn’t want these, and I have no use for them, so you guys keep them.”
“This… doesn’t seem right.”
“What’s wrong? It’s for you, so just take it. Look out for Vince Cooper more in the future.”
Vince Cooper dared to reject Theo Carter, but they didn’t have the nerve to do so and reluctantly accepted the cosmetics before running back to the dormitory building.
Theo Carter breathed a sigh of relief and quickly called his father to explain the situation.
“Holy shit, did he really come to apologize?”
“What kind of background does Vince Cooper’s family have that even Theo Carter doesn’t dare provoke her?”
“Vince Cooper’s family background is nothing. They’re just farmers.”
“Then, what’s this…”
“I’m not clear on the specifics, but from now on, we definitely should not mess with this Vince Cooper.”
“Yeah…”
The news of Theo Carter apologizing to Vince Cooper quickly spread throughout Jamae University.
Then, with the help of some invested individuals, the news spread its wings and flew beyond Jamae University.
Those who were waiting to see Wallace Carter take revenge were all shocked when they heard this news.
Who is Wallace Carter?
He’s a notorious figure on the streets of Jamae, known for his vindictive nature, which is almost universally acknowledged.
Such a person, whose son was beaten so badly his legs were broken, not only held back from taking revenge, but even had his younger son apologize to the offender?
Who exactly was the attacker?
Who could have forced Wallace Carter to bow his head and admit fault?
Driven by curiosity, people started to inquire about the identity of that person.
Yet, no matter how much they asked, they ended up with nothing.
All they knew was his surname was Jensen, and not even his first name was known.
…
“Mr. Jensen?”
Cindy Harrison was stunned for a moment, then frowned and said, “Who is this Mr. Jensen, that even Wallace Carter doesn’t dare provoke him?”
