Chapter 198
Benjamin immediately went to handle it.
He was unsure of what Tobias was trying to do recently, but he knew it had something to do with Natalie.
Benjamin never expected Tobias to be interested in that girl. He was even willing to spend so much time and energy for her.
Kimberly had been secretly looking at Natalie. She caught her smiling from time to time.
There was a hint of viciousness in Kimberly's eyes.
She did not know what Natalie was happy about, but she knew that she wanted Natalie to stop being happy.
This was because she wanted Natalie to lose her reputation in Agaphen University and even be expelled. She had planned this since the night before.
It was because of that famous pink diamond.
If she had not eavesdropped on her father's conversation, she would not have known that the Campbell Group bought the pink diamond.
Because Campbell Group was going IPO, they wanted to create a public commotion to ripple the market towards their favor.
Moreover, there was a lot of hot discussion surrounding this pink diamond recently. Hence, Kimberly's father bought the pink diamond.
However, this matter was not out in the open yet.
This was because Kimberly's father wanted to release the news when the company was listed in the market.
Kimberly was very interested in the pink diamond, so she secretly went to her father's safe and took out the pink diamond to have a look.
The pink diamond was so dazzling that it gave off a captivating light.
Seeing this, Kimberly suddenly came up with an idea!
She secretly hid the pink diamond in her clothes. The next day, she came to Agaphen University.
At around eleven, Kimberly took the pink diamond out.
The dazzling light from the pink diamond attracted everyone's attention.
''Gosh, is this the pink diamond from the news?"
"Oh my god, it's so beautiful."
"Kimberly, are you the one who bought it? You're so rich!"
Everyone gathered around Kimberly.
Natalie, Sebastian and Yvonne did not move one bit.
Yvonne glanced at the pink diamond in Kimberly's hand, which was raised high in the air. "It's so beautiful, just like the pictures in the news. Little did I know that the Campbell family was the one who bought it from the auction. They are filthy rich."
Natalie could not care less.
She had no interest in this pink diamond at all. Now that this pink diamond belonged to Kimberly, she was even more disinterested.
Kimberly raised her proud head and said in a higher pitch, "Yes, this pink diamond is Campbell Group's exorbitant purchase, but our group has always been very low profile, so don't tell anyone."
Natalie smirked.
Low profile? Why did she show it off if she was really as low profile as she claimed?
Those around Kimberly began to compliment her.
"Kimberly, it's still because your family is rich."
"Yes, your family bought such an expensive pink diamond. The Campbell Group is really rich!"
"Kimberly, I'm so jealous of you. You're so rich."
Kimberly pretended to be reserved and fiddled with her hair, "Hey, don't say that. In fact, those who can study at Agaphen University are all rich, unlike some people who don't have money and still come to Agaphen University to study. Was the person trying to come over and show everyone how poor she was?"
Natalie's face did not change.
She was not stupid. Of course, Kimberly was talking about her.
However, Kimberly did not call her out by name and she did not want to pick a fight with her.
Would someone shout at a barking dog? She should just walk away.
But if that dog bit and hurt you, it was definitely not okay to just walk away.
Therefore, when Kimberly sarcastically called her out without naming names, Natalie saw her like a mad dog that could not stop barking.
In the blink of an eye, noon arrived. Everyone was ready to have lunch.
Kimberly purposely put her pink diamond in the drawer.
Someone pretended to be surprised and said, "Kimberly, you put such an expensive pink diamond in the drawer. What if it gets lost?"
Kimberly gave a ladylike smile and said, "How could it be possible? We are all rich here at Agaphen University. Why would we do such a thing? Don't worry. Let's have lunch."
Their conversation was deliberately said loudly as if they were afraid no one could hear them.
Natalie's eyes moved.
She had a feeling that the conversation was directly pointing at her as if it was not as simple as it seemed.
Just then, Natalie's phone rang.
"Natalie, I am Mr. Lee. You haven't had lunch yet, have you?"
The call was an unknown number. It was Natalie's philosophy teacher, Albert Lee's voice.
"Yes, Mr. Lee."
"Natalie, wait for me in the classroom. I have something to tell you." After that, Albert hung up quickly.
Yvonne asked Natalie to have lunch together.
"You should go have lunch with Sebastian. I'm waiting for Mr. Lee in the classroom," Natalie asked Yvonne to go first.
Yvonne did not give it a second thought when she heard that the teacher was looking for Natalie. She left with Sebastian.
Everyone left the classroom so Natalie was alone.
Five minutes later, she suddenly felt that something was wrong.
The voice on the phone just now sounded like Mr. Lee, so she did not give it much thought. However, Natalie was not stupid. She remembered the conversation between Kimberly and her best friend from earlier.
Natalie stood up and rushed to the office.
Mr. Lee, who was in the office, had not gone to eat yet. He was reading a thick stack of information.
"Mr. Lee, were you looking for me?" Natalie walked over to Albert.
Albert raised his head and adjusted his glasses. "Miss Natalie, I wasn't looking for you."
Natalie secretly sensed that something bad was going to happen.
She had already guessed what would happen.
But soon, she calmed down again. She should not be afraid as she did not commit any crime.
Natalie walked to the canteen.
Yvonne was the first to see Natalie. She waved to Natalie and said, "Over here, Natalie. I'm here."
Natalie walked over with a tray of food.
"Well, that was quick," Yvonne said casually.
Natalie took a bite of her ribs. The dining hall was serving ribs that day. It was Natalie's favorite.
Any meat was her favorite anyway.
"Yup." Natalie said.
On the other side, Sebastian suddenly put all the ribs on his plate onto Natalie's plate.
"Natalie, I don't like it. I'll give them all to you." Sebastian lowered his head as his face turned red.
Natalie gave Sebastian a strange look. "Why did you take it if you don't like it?"
Sebastian did not say anything.
Natalie did not think much and continued to eat. On the other end, Yvonne's smile was particularly suggestive. Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.
After lunch, the three of them returned to the classroom. Soon, Kimberly and a group of girls came back talking and laughing.
"Kimberly, can you show me your pink diamond? I really want to see it," A girl suddenly said.
"Alright, alright," Kimberly said as she went to the drawer to take the pink diamond. Her face instantly changed.
