The True Lady Strikes Back novel (Cecilia and Christopher)

Chapter 9

Chapter 9 

The boy inhaled a mouthful of dust and was about to curse, but after seeing the license plate number, he immediately shut up. The owner of a limited–edition luxury car with a license plate number bearing five nines in a row was someone he could not afford to mess with. 

He did not know if he was imagining things, but he felt a chill run down his spine as the car zoomed past. 

The person beside him suddenly said, “If I recall correctly, this car belongs to the new CEO of Forte Group.” 

“Christopher? The illegitimate child who only took three years to bring Forte Group to its knees?” 

Everyone stayed away from the fool who muttered those words so as to save themselves from trouble. 

“Shut up. Don’t drag us into this.” 

After saying that, the guys fled the scene. 

One had to know that nobody here had ever seen 

Christopher’s face so far, but many people had lost their families and fortune because of him. 

Meanwhile, Christopher withdrew his gaze and addressed his assistant, Solomon, who was driving the car. “Investigate the guy who was bothering Cecilia earlier.” 

Solomon immediately replied, “Yes, Mr. Forte.” 

The car quickly stopped in front of the instructors‘ building. 

The vice–chancellor, Howard Lewis, had already removed all irrelevant people from the premises to protect Christopher’s privacy. 

When Christopher’s car came to a complete stop, Howard personally came forward and opened the door respectfully.

Seeing a young man coming out of the car, he was a little confused and called out hesitantly, “Mr. Forte?” 

Christopher nodded with a cold expression. 

Howard was stunned. He didn’t expect Christopher to be so young and handsome. 

Although Christopher was well known, he had never revealed his face in public. Outsiders had no idea what he looked like at all. 

Since Fabian Forte was well in his seventies, everyone assumed Christopher was an illegitimate child who was at least forty years old. They also believed he was an extremely ugly and merciless person. 

Otherwise, there was no reason for Christopher to shy away from the public eye. 

He also had no reason to avoid marriage. 

But when Howard saw Christopher in the flesh, he realized how erroneous the public speculations were. 

Putting aside his thoughts, he immediately came back to his senses and made a welcoming gesture toward Christopher. 

“Mr. Forte, this way please.” 

Christopher went to Howard’s office and sat at the latter’s desk as if he was the host. 

Howard didn’t dare to say anything and made him a cup of the new Black Ivory coffee produced that year. 

“Mr. Forte, I didn’t expect you to visit in person. Please forgive me for not preparing some coffee in advance.” 

Christopher was a walking money bag. Only by serving the man well could Christopher possibly consider investing in the music department. 

“If I can get an investment from him, I’ll definitely become the next chancellor of the university,” thought Fabian.

Christopher’s finger ended up on the rim of the cup, where he nonchalantly traced circles around it. His finger was soon covered with the faint fragrance of coffee. 

He asked, “Is the accident in the school auditorium a genuine accident, or was it staged?”
