“Yes, I found them. Ms. Wilson… are you sure this won’t be traced back to me?” Lilia fiddled with her hands nervously.
Carmen gave a scornful laugh. “Well, that will depend on whether the fellows you found are any good, won’t it?”
Lilia’s face blanched.
Carmen watched Lilia’s discomfit with relish before a strong sense of disgust overcame her. She couldn’t understand how people like Lilia had the gall to entertain such vain hopes. Simply remembering why Lilia was so eager to obey her made Carmen’s stomach churn.
“What about what you promised me before…?” Lilia asked tentatively.
“Once I have succeeded with Alvin, getting you into the Turner Group will be a piece of cake, won’t it?”
Lilia’s eyes sparkled with a twinkle of hope.
Carmen then shooed Lilia away rudely and hummed a cheerful tune as she sauntered toward the cafeteria.

Aubree was having lunch in the cafeteria. The Rithol University’s cafeteria was surprisingly good. Some dishes were more tasty than those found in outside eateries, and the prices were affordable. Aubree actually quite enjoyed eating in the cafeteria.
During peak lunch hour, the cafeteria was bustling with students. When a group of three or four guys walked in, no one took any notice of them. However, what made them stand out was that they did not proceed to buy food. They seemed to be looking for someone.
Not surprisingly, their behavior caught Aubree’s attention. The moment they saw Aubree, they came and sat right next to her, eyeing her menacingly. Aubree couldn’t ignore them even if she wanted to.
‘Troublemakers?‘ Aubree thought as she ate her meal unhurriedly. From the corner of her eye, she could tell they were undergrads too. They all had different physiques and did not seem to have undergone any formal combat training.
Aubree thought to herself, “This should be easy.”
However, they seemed to be undergrads here. Aubree herself was almost an absentee student, so who could be holding a grudge against her?
Aubree still hadn’t figured out when she finished her meal and returned her tray. When she left the cafeteria, that group also followed her. There were too many people in the cafeteria, which would explain why they didn’t take action back then.
As soon as Aubree turned a corner near the entrance, that group of undergrads blocked her way. One of them demanded, “You’re Aubree Miller, aren’t you?”
That first victim still looked incredulous at being floored by a mere girl as he lay there.
