The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage by Chu
Chapter 1197

While Bill modestly attended Riverton University for its strong reputation, Winter had heard rumors that he was mentored by Dan as well.

Being an apprentice of the owner of Flora Hall was certainly amazing, and judging from what Bill said, it was no rumor that Bill's mentor was indeed Dan. In short, he had quite a bright future.

Still, Bill has been a major headache for Winter, as he had been persistently her as soon as she returned.

She did not hate him since he was always nice and polite, and even Jean encouraged her to get together with him.

While it was obvious that Jean believed that Bill suited Winter better, Winter could not help comparing him to Frank on every other turn.

And there certainly was no competition, which was why Winter could not bring herself to accept Bill's advances.

However, even though she persistently used the excuse that they had only recently met, she and Jean knew all too well that she just could not let go of Frank.

And since both of them were aware of that, it was natural that Bill realized that as well.

In his mind, he was slowly getting irritated by Winter's constant stalling-Draconia's beauties were always troublesome, unlike the ladies abroad who would jump in bed with you after just a couple of pretty words.

That attitude made it obvious that Bill's mild nature was a facade, having led a life of debauchery abroad despite his kind demeanor. He was an exchange student just for appearance's sake, and he would achieve his objective and start a tutelage under Dan for a few years once he got his degree.

And with the legacy his father would pass down to him in Zamri, what was life if not comfort?

"Hmph... I'll have her once the convocation is over!"

Bill glared darkly at Winter, having planned something sinister.

Since she was always so cagey, he would help her with a little medication!

With that in mind, he glanced at a white tablet he held between his fingers. Colorless and odorless, it would make a slut of a chaste maiden.

Naturally, Bill needed Winter to take it without knowing it, just as he knew that he should bide his time and wait until after the convocation.

Hence, after greeting Winter, he did nothing but sit quietly beside her, waiting quietly for the convocation to be over.

After giving her speech as the valedictorian of the medical faculty, Winter miserably returned to her seat.

Since the certificates would be awarded soon, Winter surmised that Frank would not show up since he never came. She cursed herself for her silliness, because Frank had already told her he was busy.

It was incorrigible for her to hold on to illusory hopes, and she knocked herself on the forehead just then.

"Winter, look." Bill nudged her on the shoulder just then, pointing on the stage with a grin. "Your surprise is coming."

"Huh?" Winter looked up in confusion.

On the stage, Mr. Zims, Jean's uncle and one of the heads of department in Riverton University, chuckled as he announced, "Hehe... This year's convocation ceremony will be a little different."
