"What would you like to eat?" Franklin asked gently, passing her the menu.

“I will have stewed chicken, crispy fried shrimp, and sautéed mushrooms,” Sylvia ordered some dishes readily.

It was not until she finished ordering that the rest of them started to order.

Nathen saw this when he aggressively walked toward them with Tammy.

The woman with clear bright eyes, white teeth, and delicate eyebrows fluttered her long eyelashes. Her flawless fair complexion was pinky, and her lips were tender and rosy like rose petals.

The man next to the woman was extraordinarily handsome with a powerful vibe. Even only in a black shirt, he looked perfectly like the leader among them.

Nathen's eyes were wide open as he recognized the rest.

He blurted out, "Mr. Carrillo, why are you having dinner with this vicious woman? Don't you know she..."

Before he got to finish, Mr. Carrillo frowned and interrupted him abruptly, "Mr. Beasley, what are you talking about? Dr. Sylvia is a phenomenal doctor. She has saved the lives of many dying patients. How can you be so rude?"

Nathen Beasley, the associate dean, had a low EQ.

He had a favorable family background but had been single for many years because of his low EQ.

He was about to reach his forties, and yet he hadn't married.

He was good at his job, but not good at socializing with people.

Mr. Carrillo glanced at Tammy, who was holding her hands with Nathen, and soon understood what was going on.

He felt a wave of wild fury overcome him. He almost had the urge to strangle Nathen to death.

Sylvia was an eminent doctor he invited to give the lecture to the students. What should he do if Nathen pissed her off?

"Mr. Carrillo, don't be deceived by her beautiful look. She bullies her sister, her stepmother, her stepbrother, and her grandmother. She has done all those evil things !" Agitated by Mr. Carrillo's preference over Sylvia, he couldn't help but shout, "You can ask my girlfriend if you don't believe it. She has lived with Sylvia for many years."

His words made Tammy become the focus of people's attention. Tammy couldn't believe Nathen, that stupid man, did such a stupid thing.

That caught her off guard. Her face was blushing, and her heart was pounding, not least because of those sharp gazes upon her.

"My father is in prison all because of her. My mom is sick too, and it's her fault too."

"Did she ask your dad to evade tax? Did she make you date Dale Shea?" Franklin's face darkened and he shot daggers at Tammy. He would not allow anyone to denigrate his woman in public.

He thought Tammy would reflect on her misdeeds after the Andrews family got into trouble, but she turned out to be worse.

A leopard can't change its spots.

Franklin's icy look sent a chill down Tammy's spine.

She sought protection by standing behind Nathen's back.

Nathen was trying to act like a manly man in his girlfriend's presence. "Mr. Maskelyne, I know you are a respectable man. But Sylvia is really bad, so you'd better stay away from her, or she will put you in big trouble someday.”

"Shut up!" The man was forbidding and menacing.

The atmosphere at the restaurant was very tense.

Franklin gave a stern look at the couple before glancing at Jasper, who was behind him.

Jasper got the hint and dialed a number.

Dozens of bodyguards in black suits swarmed from all directions to surround the couple.

Although he was from a well-educated, rich family, Nathen was just someone with a daily routine between home and school.

He had never been in such a situation.

With a pale face, he cried, "What... what are you doing?"

Franklin was holding a glass of wine with his slender fingers. The red liquor in the glass was in sharp contrast to the color of his fingers, creating a strong visual impact, with his fingers getting more eye- catching.

The man took a sip of the wine elegantly and said indifferently, “Throw him out!”

"We are here to eat. Who are you to cast us out!"

“You are so dictatorial. You think you own all the restaurants in the world?" Nathen protested.

The bodyguards, however, refused to argue with him, dragging him and Tammy out.

They did it ruthlessly and rudely.

Mr. Carrillo wiped his sweaty forehead and said to Franklin with an awkward smile, "Mr. Maskelyne, I am really sorry. That guy is stupid and has a low EQ."

"Dr. Sylvia, please don't be mad. I will give him a piece of my mind later. And he must have misjudged you because of that girl."

"He's an absolute disgrace to Vista University!"

Franklin, however, remained silent with his eyes lowered.

It was hard for others to know what he was thinking about.

What dreaded Mr. Carrillo more was that Franklin would blame them, the management of the school for that.

Moreover, he had meant to invite Franklin to be the guest of the graduation party, and Sylvia to attend it.

Now that all his plans had been ruined by that stupid Nathen. Thus, he hated Nathen very much.

The medical school of Vista University always lagged behind Abbott Medical University. That happened for a reason!

With such a lunatic associate dean, how could it possibly thrive?

He was exasperated!

Mr. Carrillo was so mad that he wished he could rush to Nathen and beat him hard.

"Don't worry, Mr. Carrillo." Sylvia smiled and got him a drumstick. "He represents only himself. What he says or does has nothing to do with you. Since I have promised you to give the lecture, I will do it."

“You have both a good look and a good heart, Miss Andrews." Mr. Carrillo was relieved that Sylvia would not go back on her word.

"No wonder your school has never made it to the top ranks. The faculty member of your school is a real eye-opener for me," said Franklin with sarcasm.

He would show no mercy to anyone who upset his woman. Nathen must want to die to insult his woman in public.

And Tammy, that stupid woman, who didn't seem to learn her lesson yet, kept harassing his woman like a housefly.

Franklin had expected Tammy to stop making trouble after the video in which she was masturbating with toys was played in the hospital. Apparently, he was wrong.

Franklin sneered and beckoned Jasper over, and the latter soon bent toward him.

Jasper nodded and left after Franklin whispered something to his ear. Sylvia raised her eyebrow, wondering what the man was up to.

All of a sudden, Franklin grabbed her by the hand. "No one could get away from bullying you."

Sylvia was speechless

She didn't think she had been bullied.

She just didn't care about a psycho like Tammy Andrews.
