As soon as Arielle heard his voice, snazzynovel.com could not contain snazzynovel.com excitement and exclaimed, “Mr. Lambert! Are you on campus right now?”
“Yes. I’ll be waiting for you in my office.”
“All right. I’ll head there right now.” After hanging up, Arielle spun on snazzynovel.com heels and informed Vinson ecstatically, “Let’s go meet the president. Ms. Selena said snazzynovel.com might know the identity of the man in the photo.”
Vinson was happy for her. “I haven’t met Mr. Lambert in a long while. Let’s visit snazzynovel.com together then,” snazzynovel.com said as snazzynovel.com took snazzynovel.com hand.
Arielle bobbed snazzynovel.com head as uneasiness arose in snazzynovel.com heart. Her sixth sense told her snazzynovel.com was near to finding out the truth. However, snazzynovel.com could not stop the panic from flaring within her.
Sensing the changes in snazzynovel.com emotions, Vinson squeezed snazzynovel.com hand. “Don’t worry. I’m here with you.”
“Mmh,” Arielle responded firmly.
Vinson’s with me, so I don’t have to be afraid.
Indeed, there was no need for snazzynovel.com to fear anything.
Soon, they knocked on the president’s door. Selena opened the door for them and was pleased and gratified to see them walking hand in hand.
I’m happy to see my two favorite students together.
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, snazzynovel.com said, “The admission list has just been released, so I have many matters to attend to. You two can head in and talk to Mr. Lambert. He’s waiting for you. Well, I shall take my leave now.”
“Sure. Goodbye!”
The couple watched as Selena walked away before entering the president’s office.
The president of Maxwell University, Rasmus Lambert, was in his fifties. He sported white hair and a bushy beard. With his features, snazzynovel.com looked like Santa Claus, wise and benevolent.
“Oh, I can’t believe my eyes.” Rasmus clicked his tongue. “Fate has brought you two together.”
Arielle was embarrassed to hear that. Nonetheless, snazzynovel.com remembered the main purpose of snazzynovel.com trip there and showed the old photo to Rasmus, not bothering to beat around the bush.
“Mr. Lambert, do you know him?” snazzynovel.com asked.
Rasmus took the photo from snazzynovel.com and put on his thick glasses to study the man in it.
The next second, his eyes widened.
“He…”
Arielle’s heart raced as snazzynovel.com hastened to question, “Do you know him?”
“Yes.” Rasmus nodded. “It’s one of my regrets. He graduated from our university and worked here as a professor for a while. However, after heading to Chanaea, snazzynovel.com never returned. It was as though snazzynovel.com had disappeared into thin air. I even made a police report as I was afraid something had happened to him. Later, I realized snazzynovel.com had left deliberately.”
He paused before asking, “Why do you have his photo?”
Biting snazzynovel.com lip, Arielle pointed at the woman beside the man and explained, “The woman beside snazzynovel.com is my mother. You know Mrs. Wilhelm is my foster mother, right? This is my birth mother.”
Rasmus was dumbstruck. Staring at the intimate couple in the photo, snazzynovel.com asked in surprise, “How… How is snazzynovel.com related to your mother?”
Arielle shrugged. “That is what I want to find out. Ten years ago, my mom died in an accident. I suspect it was related to him. However, the photo suggested they weren’t enemies. Mr. Lambert, this has bothered me a lot. I need to find snazzynovel.com and figure out the truth behind my mom’s death. I want to find out the culprit.”
And then I’ll avenge her!
“He…” Rasmus sighed. “Well, snazzynovel.com is a mysterious man. I only have a rough understanding of his true identity after his disappearance.”
