Divorced The True Heiress Gets It All novel Chapter 744

Chapter 744

Joanna Howard said, “Ma’am, I’m afraid you can’t leave. You hurt one of our students, and the Shaw family is demanding you stay and face the consequences.”

Hearing the noise, Deangelo frowned and stepped forward. “What’s going on?”

Joanna explained, “Mr. Reed, this lady threw Prescott to the ground. The Shaw family is furious and demands an explanation.”

Aria calmly explained, “I was just walking when four of them stopped me. Prescott started messing with me, so I defended myself. You can check the cameras.”

Joanna had already checked the surveillance footage before arriving. It was clear that Prescott was the one who started the trouble, but he was a student there and came from a prestigious family. She didn’t dare cross them.

Joanna said awkwardly, “You’re not a student here. Entering the campus already breaks protocol, and hurting a student makes it worse. Please wait until the Shaw family arrives. If they’re satisfied after watching the footage, you may leave.”

Deangelo’s face darkened. “What do you mean by ‘break the protocols’? Are you saying I don’t even have the right to invite a friend here?”

Joanna sounded anxious. “Mr. Reed, I didn’t mean that. Prescott has connections. We can’t afford to mess this up.”

“Connections?” Deangelo sneered. “Does the Shaw family think they can just throw their weight around? Aria is with me. I’d like to see who dares to mess with her.”

Aria noticed and took out a few pill bottles from her bag and passed him one. “I developed these myself. It might help you calm down.”

Joanna, meaning well, reminded him, “Mr. Reed, you shouldn’t just take random pills.”

Deangelo hadn’t planned on taking them, but now he had changed his mind just to prove a point. “Why? Do you think she’s gonna hurt me?”

After saying that, he popped two pills into his mouth without a second thought.

Joanna felt frustrated but didn’t dare say anything more. All she cared about was making sure Aria stayed put until the Shaw family showed up.

Soon, Deangelo felt the pressure in his chest let up. He said, “This stuff really works.”

“If you ever need more, Mr. Reed, I can make some for you,” Aria said.

“Wouldn’t that be too much for you?” he asked.

Aria grinned sincerely. “It’s no big deal. Mr. Reed, if you were living in Mandino City, I could bring them to you every day.”

Deangelo could tell that she was trying to recruit him. Under normal circumstances, he would have dismissed the idea, but
