Chapter 315
“W–with Prince Heath!” Kelvin stammered.
Arthur rolled his eyes.
“That’s obvious. Everyone here has someone working for Prince Heath. I want to know which one of Prince Heath’s men your backer is working for.”
Arthur tightened his grip on Kelvin’s shoulder. It made Kelvin yelp in pain and double over.
“Ouch, ouch! My guy isn’t any of his men. I think he reports directly to Prince Heath!”
Kelvin was on the verge of tears. He had just escaped one dangerous situation only to fall into another.
Arthur quickly let go and flashed an apologetic smile.
“Sorry about that, Kelvin. I didn’t mean to be so harsh. No hard feelings, okay?”
Kelvin was bewildered by Arthur’s sudden change in demeanor but managed to shake his head.
“It’s fine, Arthur.”
The classmate who had offered Arthur a cigarette earlier pulled out another pack and handed it to Kelvin.
“Kelvin, this is a small gesture. Please, take it.”
“He’s only a freshman. You want him to start smoking?” Arthur snapped, glaring at the guy.
He took the cigarettes from Kelvin and handed them back to the guy.
That guy was his classmate, Jamie Pattinson, a junior in the e–commerce major and known for his sharp
mind.
Jamie understood the reason behind Arthur’s change in attitude. Arthur had heard of Wade–Heath’s right-
hand man, who reported directly to him.
This meant Kelvin could potentially become the second–in–command of this powerful group.
Arthur threw an arm around Kelvin’s shoulder with a cheeky grin.
“Kelvin, I got a little carried away earlier. Don’t take it personally. I hope you can look out for me in the
future.”
Kelvin also understood why Arthur’s attitude had changed, Content © NôvelDrama.Org.
When he mentioned that his backer reported directly to Heath, it was insinuated that it was Wade. Arthur immediately backed down, showing that Wade’s influence was indeed powerful.
He had the best shot at becoming a leader alongside Carlisle in this group.
However, Kelvin had a history with Carlisle.
If Wade learned about his issues with Carlisle, it was uncertain if he would continue to protect him or,

even worse, decide to teach him a lesson.
Faced with Arthur’s enthusiastic attitude, Kelvin didn’t dare act superior. He gave a nervous laugh.
“Arthur, you’re joking. You should be the one looking out for me.”
“No, no. I was simply bluffing earlier. My connection is my cousin. He’s just a grunt under one of Wade’s guys,” Arthur admitted, swallowing his pride.
Everyone around shot Arthur disdainful looks but kept quiet. After all, nobody dared to mess with
someone as muscular as him.
Kelvin had already suspected this, and with Arthur’s admission, he knew better than to show any disrespect.
Forcing a smile, he said, “Then let’s help each other out from now on.”
Arthur laughed heartily.
“Exactly. We’ll have each other’s backs!”
The group quickly bonded with smiles all around.
With this crew, they wouldn’t have to worry about being bullied by the school thugs anymore.
Only Kelvin looked worried.
He figured Carlisle was probably on his way to the tea shop. He suspected that Carlisle would definitely
not want him joining his group.
After all, Carlisle had already made it clear he wouldn’t tolerate him.
After thinking for a moment, Kelvin took out his phone and stepped aside to call Wade.
Wade answered quickly, sounding tipsy.
“Kelvin, what’s up?”
Kelvin hesitated.
“Hey, man, I need a favor.”
Wade chuckled.
“Just spit it out. There’s no need to beat around the bush.”
Kelvin paused before explaining his history with Carlisle.
Wade’s tone sobered up as he sat up on his office couch.
“Seriously? Of all people, you had to piss off Carlisle? And his girlfriend?”
Kelvin was nearly in tears, his voice trembling.
“Please, you’ve got to help me. I can’t lose your support.”
Wade sighed.
“Dude, there’s nothing I can do. I’m just a grunt under Heath. Do you know how much Heath respects Carlisle? If I crossed Carlisle, Heath might cut off my fingers…”
Kelvin’s face turned even paler. Just then, a black Mazda pulled up at the curb.
