Chapter 122

Arabella's lips curled in satisfaction. Willowridge University was her domain, and handling Harrison would be child's play.

"Isabella, Harrison's time at Willowridge will be cut short this time. We'll be laughing about this ridiculous situation for years to come..."

In the executive boardroom of Falcon Enterprises, senior leaders wearing platinum access badges sat around the mahogany conference table.

The quarterly financial review was underway. Only the CFO's voice echoed in the tense silence as he presented the company's performance.

Nathaniel Falcon, CEO, occupied the head seat. His custom navy suit accentuated his commanding presence. He studied the reports with sharp focus, his angular features radiating quiet authority.

The door burst open without warning. Dominic entered hastily, clutching a phone. "Mr. Falcon..." His voice held uncharacteristic urgency.

Nathaniel didn't look up. "Speak."

The room froze as all eyes turned to Dominic.

Beads of sweat formed on Dominic's brow. "Sir, Willowridge University called. Mrs. Falcon was involved in an altercation on campus."

A collective gasp filled the room.

Nathaniel's hands stilled on the documents. He lifted his piercing gaze slowly. "Repeat that."

"Your wife got into a physical confrontation. The university requests her guardian's immediate presence."

Nathaniel's expression darkened instantly.

Two days. That's all it took. First sleeping in class, now brawling? And they wanted her guardian?

She was testing his patience.

His jaw tightened visibly. The report slammed onto the table as he stood abruptly.

Chaos erupted in the boardroom. "Wait - Mr. Falcon is married?"

"His wife is a student? Getting into fights and needing parental intervention?"

"This must be the first time Nathaniel Falcon has ever been summoned to a school office!"

Within minutes, the scandalous news spread through Falcon Enterprises' entire headquarters. Their formidable CEO had abandoned a crucial meeting because his college-student wife required a guardian's presence.

Outside Gregory's office, the crowd of curious students had dispersed. Julian Ashford's parents had taken him to the infirmary.

Harrison and Rosalind stood in tense silence, awaiting judgment. Gregory's stern voice broke the quiet. "Harrison, your guardian is on their way."

Harrison blinked in shock.

Guardian? Victoria? Who else could it be?

She didn't even have a legal guardian.

As she opened her mouth to protest, Gregory announced, "They're here."

The office door swung open violently. A cold draft swept in, followed by an imposing figure.

Nathaniel had arrived.

Harrison's dark eyes widened in disbelief.

They actually called him?!
