2. Her Return

Justin and Genevieve were surprised at Aubrey's outburst, as they weren't expecting such a reaction from her.

"But dear Imperial Diamonds College, this is the best college here, and you deserve the best of everything. Why are you refusing to go?" Justin asked.

He dropped the cutlery he was using to eat, and he turned to look directly at Aubrey.

Genevieve also stared at Aubrey as she curiously waited to hear why she was declining such an incredible offer.

A scowl was resting on Aubrey's face as she had already lost all the appetite to continue eating.

The food in her mouth was now tasteless, and the earlier tempting dishes now looked no different from trash meals.

With an indifferent voice, she turned to her parents, eyeing them with contempt.

How could her parents not know her dislike for that college? They very well knew how much she hated those proud, spoiled second and third generation rich heirs and heiresses that filled the school.

Imperial Diamonds is a college for the rich and powerful. Pampered young adults and good-for-nothing sons and daughters of businessmen and politicians attended the school.

They do nothing but bully the poor and students on scholarships and also trouble the lecturers.

She dared not attend such a college. Aubrey, as an international intercultural student, is known for her great performances and achievements in science.

She's popularly tagged 'young scientist,' as her ability to manipulate science projects was out of this world.

How could she possibly accept such outrageous arrangements from her parents, who had always known her dislike for that particular institution?

Who were they trying to show off to?

Aubrey had no idea, but at this moment, she was all flared up and wasn't going to listen to whatever excuse they were going to give.

"I won't go, and that's final. I'd rather return to Singapore." She exclaimed and rose from her seat, looking infuriated, as she made to leave but halted upon hearing Justin's words.

"The transfer process has been completed, Aubrey Schumacher. You have no choice but to attend Imperial Diamond College. Your resumption date is tomorrow.

I'll advise you to calmly prepare for lectures tomorrow and not give us a hard time. We know you love science projects, so we are working on completing a science lab for you at home."

"Aubrey, your Dad is right; this is for your good. Besides, we're already this wealthy; no one is going to bully you there," Genevieve added.

"You too, Mom? I didn't know you both hated my progress that much," Aubrey shrieked disappointedly, and she ran to her room looking bleak.

Genevieve stood up from her seat and was about to run after Aubrey when Justin stopped her.

"Give her some space, Genevieve; she'll think it through. We both know Aubrey never goes against our wishes. I'm certain, she won't" He persuaded her, but Genevieve just huffed and glared at him.

"My poor baby didn't get the chance to eat properly. She didn't get to eat these delicious dishes I had personally ordered the chef to prepare. It's all thanks to you," she condemned.

Justin couldn't be less concerned about Genevieve's tantrums as he continued eating, not willing to let the dishes go to waste.

*Aubrey's room*

Aubrey angrily threw her phone on the bed. She was frenetic.

Why her? Her dream was to become a famous inventor like Marrie Currie and others. Why were her parents trying to ruin everything for her?

She plumped herself into the soft Queen-size bed, and her phone, which was beside her, buzzed.

She picked it up and checked to discover it was a call from Dysha, her best friend.

"Hey, babe, how's Mexico City? Home sweet home, huh?" Dysha's cheerful voice sounded.

Aubrey's mood instantly improved upon hearing her best friend's voice.

"It'll have been if they didn't bring up the topic they just did," Aubrey mumbled in reply, and Dysha could immediately tell something was bothering her.

"Spill it, honey, what's wrong with you now, huh? And who are they? What did they bring up?

Didn't you say you were going to look for your high school nerdy crush when you left?"

Dysha bombarded her with different questions.

"First of all, I'm mad, angry, and irate. And secondly, they are my parents. Thirdly, they freaking want me to attend that fucked up Imperial Diamonds College and have already gotten all the transfers done.

The worst part is that I'll have to resume tomorrow. For crying out loud Dysha, I just returned here today after three years; won't they even give me time to rest and recover my lost strength?"

Dysha felt speechless as she heard Aubrey's complaint. She was sincerely surprised, as she always knew the couple to be kind-hearted and easygoing.

Why were they now harsh with Aubrey?

"Perhaps they have their reasons," she thought.

"And as to finding Edward, it'll have to wait for later," Aubrey completed, and Dysha let out a deep sigh.

If she had to be honest, she had no idea what to say, but she truly believed in Aubrey.

"You know what? I think you should just do as they ask," Dysha said to Aubrey's dismay.

"You too!" Aubrey exclaimed in surprise.

"No wait, don't get me wrong, okay? Also, don't hang up on my call; hear me out."

Dysha quickly sprouted, knowing fully well that Aubrey could decisively hang up the call.

"Aren't Imperial Diamonds for spoilt brats who misbehave? You aren't going there to misbehave, right? You are going there to study, so all you need to do is focus on your studies.

But that doesn't mean you should let them bully you. I know you can deal with every single heckler that crosses your path.

You have always brought changes to every institution you attend; I believe you will also bring a change there.

Perhaps Imperial Diamonds College is waiting for Aubrey's arrival to change its ways."

Dysha advised. She went on talking and talking until she realized no one was answering her questions.

"Hey bitch, how dare you ignore me?" Dysha yelled, but there was still no response.

"Hey Aubrey, are you there? Aubrey? Aubrey!!"

Beep! Beep! Beep! The call was hung up.

"Rot in hell, O Aubrey Schumacher. I curse you from the bottom of my soul," Dysha desperately shouted while glaring hard at her phone as she heard the beep sound of the call disconnect.

*The next day, at Imperial Diamonds College.*

Mrs. Ashley, the class teacher, was standing on the podium as she was ready to explain some biological terms, but the students in the class did not look like they were inclined to learn a single thing.

"Good day everyone, today our topic is a classification of animals in the kingdom Animalia.

But before we begin, I'll be introducing a new class member; welcome her with loud applause."

She yelled but got no responses, only mumbles, and mocking laughter.

Mrs. Ashley felt angry, and she shrieked again.

"Silent!"

A deep, cool voice suddenly chuckled, and she felt her brain about to burst.

"Why don't you just teach and get your black ass outta here? We don't care if you are teaching about the Kingdom of Animalia or the Kingdom of Ashelia."

He mocked, and the whole class erupted in pearls of laughter.

Mrs. Ashley burned in rage. "How dare you, Edward, and what the hell, oh my Jesus, are you doing in my class?"

She cried out. She immediately turned to face the wall, as she couldn't bear to see such a thing happening right in front of her.

"What do you think? Don't tell me you don't do this with the old hag of a husband you have.

I guess you don't because he's already old. But I can give you a good fingering right now if you want."

He spoke naughtily, and the class wooed as he continued to deepen his fingers inside the sweet punani of the lady that was sitting almost naked on his lap.

Edward's fingers went deeper as he let out a curse as the lady kept grinding his c*ck with her big ass that was placed on his thighs.

Natalie's indecent moans resounded in the class, and the surrounding students were busy cheering and taking pictures.

A loud moan erupted from their lips, and they both came to their climax.

Just then, the door of the classroom pushed open, and Aubrey stepped in.

Her eyes were filled with stupefaction and disbelief at the sight before her.
