chapter96
You make it sound so easy, asking me to expand the PhD quota by one!
Originally, adding one more spot wouldn’t have been a big deal!
“But now, with all the news about the three of you flooding the internet, if I admit both of them, won’t my program become a circus!
Claudine and Audrey, which one do you actually want!”
Damian’s brows were tightly furrowed.
In his life, he had never faced a choice between two options.
Seeing Damian’s attitude of wanting everything, Adriana was furious.
Could it be that both her daughter and Claudine would be ruined by this one man?
“Go, go, go! My own student, I’ll take care of her! If you really care about them, stay far away and stop hurting them!”
As she spoke, Adriana began to push Damian out.
“Hurry up and leave! You’re not welcome here!”
“Prof. Nixon! Prof. Nixon!”
Never in his life had Damian been thrown out like this; Adriana was just short of chasing him out with a broom.
He wanted to explain a few more words, but he had already been pushed into the hallway.
At that moment, the door across from Adriana opened, and Raymon stepped out.
“Adriana, what’s going on?”
Adriana pointed at Damian.
“This man, get him out!”
Before Damian could explain, Raymon had already grabbed the broom by the door and started swinging it at Damian.
Despite Raymon’s age, the broom in his hand swept with impressive vigor.
Damian had no choice but to flee downstairs in embarrassment.
Raymon stood the broom upright and addressed Damian.

“Get lost! If you dare disturb Adriana again, I’ll break your legs!”
As he spoke, he raised the broom in his hand threateningly.
Damian looked up at the elderly man upstairs, feeling rather helpless.
Forget it, he’d have to find another opportunity.
“Prof. Nixon, I never intended to hurt them. When you’ve calmed down, I’ll come visit again.”
Seeing that the young man was still talking nonsense, Raymon raised the broom, ready to strike.
Damian could only leave.
Raymon turned to Adriana, as if seeking credit.
“Adriana, who is that kid? What did he do to make you so upset? He looks kind of familiar!”
Adriana snorted coldly,
“Damian!”
Raymon thought the name sounded familiar, as if he’d heard it somewhere before.
“Damian?”

Raymon suddenly raised his voice, “Damian! The president of the Barrette Group! The sponsor of my project fund!”
Only now did the old man realize what he had done!
He looked at the broom in his hand.
“Adriana, did I just drive him away?”
“Tell me, if I hit him, he won’t cut my project funding this year, will he?”
Raymon had swung the broom with such force just now, and now he regretted it just as much.
All his projects were extremely costly.
If his funding was swept away because of that broom, wouldn’t his doctoral students pester him every day…
“Adriana, why didn’t you say so earlier!”
“What did Mr. Barrette do to offend you?”
Adriana glared at Raymon, “You men, not a single one of you is any good!”
With that, she slammed the door shut with a bang.
Raymon looked at the tightly closed door, then at the broom in his hand.
“Ah, this! What does this have to do with me!”
