Reborn: The Tyrant's Obsession novel Chapter 69

Chapter 69: Her spidey senses are tickling

Jenny froze for a moment, ’’How would I know? You should ask yourself who you have offended that you are being targeted like this.’’

Ella smiled, ’’I am relieved to know that you also think I am being targeted and I am actually a victim of these rumours.’’

’’Don’t twist my words!" Jenny lowered her gaze, ’’If not for Professor Grimwood, you should have been immediately rusticated from the university but this is good as well.’’

A hint of surprise flickered in Ella’s eyes. She had indeed expected some action from Jenny’s side but seeing her making no move despite this golden opportunity, Ella was confused.

It seemed like Professor Grimwood had interfered in this matter.

But why would he? In their previous life, they barely had any exchanges between them.

’’But it’s a matter of some time only before Professor Grimwood would eventually be proved wrong and then, there’d be no one protecting you.’’

Even after Jenny left, Ella was bewildered by those words.

Proved wrong? What did the Professor actually do to save her from expulsion?

Ella’s spidey senses tickled and a chill crept down her spine.

Why did she have a very bad feeling about this?

She was about to return to the class when she spotted a figure near the other end of the hallway, heading towards the department exit.

Ella only paused for a brief moment before she rushed to the classroom.

Kade looked up. ALbeit his hesitation, he opened his mouth to thank her, ’’Hey, you...’’

But the girl grabbed her bag and left like a gust of air, disappearing from everyone’s view in an instant.

Some were shocked to see Ella being this flexible... A few days ago, didn’t she struggle to get up from the floor?

Now, she could not only dodge the paint bucket in time but she even ran like this!

But then they concluded that she probably ran like that due to her burst of emotions. She must have been scolded to the point of tears by Professor Jenny.

Only Kade’s lips twitched.

He glanced at the empty seat beside him and then at the empty seat on the first bench.

And while he had no attachments or connection with Ruby, he found her situation rather... pitiful.

He could bet on his frozen cards that his crazy deskmate was undoubtedly chasing after this poor girl.

Ella indeed chased after Ruby who left without attending further classes.

When Ella reached outside the university gates, she had almost lost sight of Ruby.

But then, she spotted a cab near the distant alley. The striking red of Ruby’s hair caught her attention.

She immediately hailed a cab, ’’Follow them.’’

Ruby’s cab stopped in front of a private hospital.

Ella paid the driver and got out of the car.

She had just taken a step towards Ruby when a speeding van zoomed in her vision.

Ella’s heart dropped.

...

In a lavish yet minimalistic condominium.

A private investigator sat on the couch, ’’Mr. Knight, all the information you provided tracks back to this person. So, I surmise they are the one you are looking for.’’

Ronan glanced at the file that was being offered to him but he did not move to take it immediately, ’’Are you sure?"

’’Yes, you said you saw them at the Imperial University a few days ago. That information matches up with this person as well. She is a student of the Imperial University.’’

Ronan furrowed his brows, a hint of displeasure crossed his eyes.

The investigator shivered, ’’Mr. Knight, once you see the picture, won’t everything be clear?"

Ronan took the file and flipped to the first page.

The picture of a beautiful red-head greeted his vision and his eyes darkened.

’’Are you sure she is a student there?’’

’’I am...’’

Let me find you first, you trickster, then we will settle the scores between us.
