Josh was quick to defend himself. "He is lying, I did not..." Josh began to defend himself, but his words were swiftly cut off by Professor Roberto's authoritative voice. "Quiet, my office now," Professor Roberto demanded, leaving no room for further explanations.Although what was happening was BLT fair, Josh had no choice. And he was used to stuff like this happening. Being the victim and getting punished for it, was nothing new to him.Amelia, who stood behind Josh, rolled her eyes, after hearing professor Roberto ordering Josh to go to his office. And she couldn't believe that this was how the professors at this college acted. It wasn't hard for one to realize that Josh was the victim, as Brian already had a reputation of bullying Josh.Under normal circumstances, Amelia might have cared less about Josh, or the baseless accusations he was facing, but they had urgent matters to attend to, and Josh being summoned to Mr. Roberto’s office would only delay things and they wouldn't ge

Amelia, upon hearing Josh say that where he lived might not be as bad as she was imagining, couldn't help letting out another mocking chuckle, thinking he was trying to pretend that his situation wasn't as bad, when in reality it was bad. Infact it was embarrassing. She didn't understand how someone could live that kind of life. “Yeah right.” She chuckled mockingly. Although at first when Josh had seen Amelia and saw that she was just another rich person he had suspected that she just wanted to make fun of him just like half the people he always came across at college. However that impression of her had started to change when Brian had showed up with his minions and he had witnessed her defense of him. When that had happened, he had even felt guilty for being rude towards her earlier.It had briefly painted a different picture of her in his mind, thinking she might be different from everyone else. But now that he was faced with the reality of her mockery of his financial situation, he

Josh drove quietly through the city street's with Amelia in his car. He could tell that she wanted to ask him a lot of questions. And it was normal and expected that she would have so many questions, after thinking he was nothing but a loser this whole time, only to find out that the person she thought was a loser and made fun of, owned a luxurious car, even more expensive that the one she drove. Josh was just hoping that she wouldn't ask those questions she had, because he didn't want to answer her. Honestly, he had no idea how he would explain it to her. It was not like he could just tell her that he was a De La Cruz. While it would answer her questions, that would surely be a bad idea. The last thing he wanted was for people to know that he was connected to the mafia world.If Josh were to confide in Amelia, she would undoubtedly spread the information to everyone, so he didn't plan on telling her. And if she was going to ask him how he got rich, he had planned to just fabricate a

A frown made it's way to Josh's face upon hearing Mario's remark. Feeling annoyed by his comments Josh glared at him. But despite the cutting remark from Mario, Josh chose to maintain his composure, choosing not to give him a response. Giving mario a response would only undoubtedly encourage him, so it was best to ignore him. Turning his attention back to Amelia, Josh awaited her response to the offer of refreshments.Amelia glanced at Mario and then at Josh, sensing the underlying tension between them. She wondered who the young man who had just walked in was, and why was he been so disrespectful to Josh? Turning her gaze towards Josh, she declined the offer with a polite smile, "No, thank you. Let's just focus on the assignment."Mario, grew increasingly annoyed by Josh's composed demeanor and lack of reaction to his taunt. He couldn't shake off the frustration. His comment was intended to hurt Josh's feelings and to make him respond. But to his disappointment Josh didn't look that

After concluding his conversation with his grandfather, Josh made his way back inside the expansive mansion. As he walked down the hallway toward his bedroom, Mario was also walking down the hallway. His gaze was on his cellphone, so it didn't look like he was looking where he was walking.The same thing could be said about Josh, as he was also looking at his cellphone, scrolling through his college's group chat to see if Amelia had posted anything about him. He couldn't help but worry that she might expose the fact that he was actually a rich person pretending to be poor to everyone. As he scrolled down, and noticed that she hadn't done any such thing, yet, Josh let out a sigh in relief.Just then, as he was still looking at his phone, Josh unexpectedly crossed paths and bumped into Mario, or rather, it seemed Mario deliberately collided with him. Looking at Mario, Josh expression hardened, angry at Mario for colliding into him.Mario also looked mad as he glared at Josh. "Watch wher

But that's what you are, and you'll always be…..” Mario was about to go on, insulting Josh, making sure he understands who he was and where his place in the family was, but before he could continue Antonio stepped in.“Alright, enough both of you.” Antonio growled, as he approached the two of them. “Mario, can you guys not fight right now? Let's go.” He demanded. Tension filled the air. Mario nodded in agreement.
