Ryan huffed and said, "The school would be liable for losing money. They wouldn't dare to call the police. That's

why these two were let off the hook."

Everyone nodded. "That makes sense."

Lina chipped in, "Felicia, you had better cto your senses soon. Continuing to be with a guy like Ryan will

only bring your demise. I'm telling you, if he dares steal a million from the school now, he'll be a common thief

on the streets sooner rather than later. Who knows, maybe he might steal from you as well."

together. I've prepared sgifts. Although they aren't extremely valuable, they show my appreciation. Now, I'll

select seat numbers randomly. Those whose numbers are called out, please cforward to receive your gifts."

| had to admit that Mason was very generous.

It was a pair of Rolex watches that were part of the newest collection. The men's variation was gold and studded

with sapphires, while the female variation was rose gold and lined with rubies. The intricate arches made it a

eyeballs bulged out of their sockets in disbelief.

It looked like this watch was extremely attractive. Scoldingwas the last thing

on their minds. Everyone stared at Mason unblinkingly, waiting for him to draw the last prize.

| turned to Felicia and asked, "Do you like it? If you do, we can go to the store, and I'll buy one for you later."

She shook her head immediately and said, "No."
