He Let Her Move Into His Dorm, I Moved Out of the Country Chapter 06
Adrian’s vision went black, and he nearly passedÂ
out on the spot.Â
Lauren was demanding that he return the money.Â
That meant Lauren knew he had transferred theÂ
money out of their joint account. She also knew heÂ
had opened a joint account with Mia.Â
In that instant, Adrian understood that all hisÂ
previous thoughts of winning Lauren back,Â
apologizing to her, spoiling her, and making it up.Â
to her had become an unreachable fantasy.Â
Lauren’s attorney sat across from Adrian. IgnoringÂ
how pale and frozen Adrian looked, he continuedÂ
laying out his client’s demands.Â
“Mr. Grant, Ms. Reed requires you to return theÂ
money transferred without her consent within oneÂ
week. Otherwise, she will take legal action againstÂ
you.”Â
Adrian slowly came back to his senses as theÂ
attorney spoke in that emotionless voice.Â
His throat worked. Then he asked hoarsely, “…Â
Besides that, is there anything else?”Â
“Did she say she wanted compensation?”Â
The attorney shook his head. “No.”Â
For a second, Adrian felt as if his heart hadÂ
stopped. As though trying to prove something, heÂ
began speaking incoherently.Â
“I can pay her. Tell her that. Please tell Lauren thatÂ
as long as she’s willing to forgive me, I’ll give herÂ
anything she wants.”Â
“Please tell her to meet me, just once. Okay?”Â
As Adrian spoke, his voice took on a pleadingÂ
edge.Â
The attorney, who already understood the entireÂ
situation, felt no sympathy for the man in front ofÂ
him. If anything, he found him disgusting.Â
“Mr. Grant, my client does not want any of that.”Â
The attorney’s expression and tone did not change.Â
in the slightest.Â
“Out of respect for your history together, Ms. ReedÂ
is only asking that you return the portion of theÂ
funds transferred without her consent.”Â
When Adrian heard the words “out of respect forÂ
your history together,” all he felt wasÂ
hopelessness.Â
This was not Lauren respecting their history. She clearly did not want to have anything to do withÂ
him anymore.Â
That was why she only wanted him to return theÂ
money, not compensate her.Â
Because the moment compensation becameÂ
involved, further communication would beÂ
unavoidable.Â
Countless words lodged in Adrian’s throat, but inÂ
the end, only one sentence came out.Â
“Fine,” Adrian said in a low voice. “Please tell herÂ
I’ll return it to her on time.”Â
“And please tell her I’m sorry.”Â
The attorney nodded, but he did not respond to that request. He simply turned and left.Â
Only Adrian remained seated where he was.Â
But he did not have much time to sit there in aÂ
daze. A few minutes later, a call from theÂ
university came in like a death knell.Â
Adrian answered, and before he could speak, heÂ
heard news that made his blood run cold.Â
“Professor Grant, someone has reported you forÂ
having an inappropriate relationship with a female student. Please come to the universityÂ
immediately to cooperate with the investigation.”Â
All his thoughts and emotions were pushed aside by that notice.Â
Adrian rushed back to the university at once.Â
The moment he entered the campus gate, he heard the faculty members around him whisperingÂ
and pointing.
