The press conference had just wrapped up when David slid into the back seat of his Rolls Royce. His voice was smooth and deep as he spoke to Aiden up front. “Let the media know I don’t want anything about Ella getting out.”
Aiden nodded, keeping his voice low. “Don’t worry, sir. Some of the female reporters already stepped up and deleted every photo and video of her. They won’t be reporting anything about Mrs. Harmon.”
A faint smile tugged at David’s lips. “She really does know how to charm people.”
“She is incredibly brave,” Aiden added, sounding genuinely impressed.
David raised an eyebrow. She really was.
He pulled out his phone and dialed a number.
“Hey, Uncle.”
David’s uncle, Mr. Alberto Lynch, was the president of Central College, one of the top universities around. He was obsessed with medicine, and everyone showed him the utmost respect.
Mr. Lynch’s voice came through the phone. “David, this is a surprise. What made you think of calling me today?”
“I need a favor.”
“Go on. I’m curious what it is if you’re asking me personally.”
“I want to send a girl to your university.”
“What girl?”
“Her name’s Ella. I want her in the medical program.”
“Ella… isn’t that your stand-in bride? Since you’re asking, have her come to Central College tomorrow. I want to see for myself who this bride of yours is.”
