I’m Someone Else

“Miss Pearson, Mr. Clifford. They just won’t leave no matter what I say.” Molly walked over and complained pitifully. She had
been held back by those students for three hours and was forced to stand under the scorching sun while her work was pushed
aside.
Olivia shook her head at that. She heard about students from Irieson’s University of Technology looking for Thomas when she
was in a meeting and didn’t think much of it. She assumed that they had left, but to her surprise, they were still making a
nuisance of themselves.
“You guys should leave.”
“Hey! That old man who bullied us is there!” someone in the crowd shouted. Then, all eyes landed on Thomas.
However, Thomas stepped forward and stood before Olivia before she could speak. He questioned them coldly, “I’m giving all of
you one last chance. Are you leaving or not?”
These students were being utterly shameless. How could they be students of Irieson’s University of Technology with such
despicable behavior? They didn’t have the conduct of a student from a prestigious school. Instead, they quickly assumed that
Thomas was a nobody and spewed nonsense about him because they had more people on their side. Yet, they dared to pretend
to be pitiful when they saw Olivia. Thomas had had enough of them.
“Old man! Why are you here? Run along now. You don’t belong here!”
“Exactly! Who do you think you are to make us leave?”
“What can you do if we don’t leave?”
“Don’t think that we’re letting you off the hook for hitting us!” The few senior students stepped forward and glared at Thomas.
Thomas glanced at them and moved his hands like lightning. He grabbed onto the neck of the student in front of him and pulled
him forward. At the same time, his other hand moved before the student could react.
Smack! A loud sound rang as a slap landed fiercely on the student’s face and his face instantly swelled up as though a bee had
stung him. It seems that the previous lesson wasn’t enough. You dare to spew nonsense in my presence again?
Thomas turned around and ordered Olivia, “Inform the Irieson’s University of Technology that we are ending all collaboration with
them. The Keyshire Property won’t accept any graduate student of theirs!”

He never had much of an attachment to the university in the first place. He was merely admitted before his SAT(s) results were
released and didn’t even know where the main entrance of the university was located. After this unpleasant encounter with this
bunch of students, all his good impressions about the university disappeared.
Is this the quality of students from the top academy in Droycore? If that’s the case, they shouldn’t even dream of working in
Keyshire Property!
Thomas didn’t care what the rest of the teachers and students from Irieson’s University of Technology would say about him. He
wasn’t born in this world to please everyone.
“Huh? Sure.” Olivia nodded. This was her first time hearing Thomas speaking in such a harsh tone to her since they met. It
seemed that her well-intentioned efforts had backfired and he was furious.
The students widened their eyes in shock at the scene. Who exactly is this man that even the president of Keyshire Property,
Olivia, had to listen to him? Does that mean he holds a higher position than her?
Oh, my God! We even provoked him earlier on. We’ve kicked the hornet’s nest now.
“Sigh,” Molly sighed as she looked at the students. They were the prime example of, ‘what goes around, comes around’. Thomas
was usually a chill guy, and it was rare for him to get so riled up. Frankly, he wasn’t even talkative enough to get into disputes
with others. Yet, he was so angered by these shameless students that he had even raised his voice for once.
Serves you guys right for not watching your mouths! Now, the collaboration between the university and Keyshire Property will be
terminated, and these students are responsible for it. What goes around comes around.
“What are you waiting for? Leave!” Ophelie put her hands on her hips as she glared at the students. “Who do you think you are
to see my brother-in-law?”
“Brother-in-law?” Those words were like a bomb that exploded in Molly’s mind.
She knew that this beautiful young lady was Olivia’s sister. So, if Thomas was her brother-in-law, does that mean that Thomas
and Olivia were married?
Tears streamed down her face uncontrollably at that thought. No! This can’t be! When did Thomas marry Miss Pearson? How
was I not informed about this?

Molly’s gaze shot to Olivia’s hands and scrutinized it carefully. Her beating heart slowed when she realized there wasn’t even a
trace of a ring on Olivia’s hands. Ophelie has to be bluffing! That’s definitely it. There’s still hope for me!
On the other hand, the group of students was also shocked by that revelation. Thomas is that little girl’s brother-in-law?
Then, Ophelie pointed at Thomas, who was walking toward a Maserati, and announced proudly, “He is my brother-in-law,
Thomas!”
“What?” The students’ jaws fell to the ground at her words. So, all this while, that man with white hair was Thomas.
That man that they called an old man was actually Thomas. They even blocked his way in the morning and attacked him
verbally.
They were doomed. These students had destroyed all the hopes of any students from Irieson’s University of Technology to work
in Keyshire Property. It was an undeniable fact that the company only took the initiative and extended its intent to collaborate
with the university because of Thomas in the first place.
In their minds, Thomas would be a handsome young man wearing a branded suit. They never thought that he would look so
plain and even have a full head of white hair.
If they knew his identity, they would never dare cross him, but what could they do now? How were they going to explain this to
the school and their schoolmates?
“Olivia, let’s go!” Ophelie grabbed Olivia’s hand and walked toward the Maserati, leaving behind the group of students staring at
each other in dismay and a distraught Molly.
During the journey, Olivia didn’t dare make a sound as she could see that Thomas was fuming. She just hoped that he wouldn’t
take out his anger from those childish students on her.
Ophelie also sensed that the atmosphere was off as she discreetly sneaked several glances between Thomas and Olivia.
