Chapter 778

Steven glanced at his phone. Ryan had already messaged him, saying that Charley had stayed up all night digging through files and would be home by noon to share everything he knew. Ryan was now inviting Steven to come over and wait with him for Charley's return. Steven replied to the message and set out immediately. Although Jonah was investigating for him, gathering information from multiple sources would provide better certainty. Just then, Jillian called him. She said excitedly, "Steven, did you set me up with some amazing job? The president of Southbank University just invited me personally for grad school, and a company wants me to be some kind of chairwoman!" "Yvonne is quite efficient." Steven was a bit surprised. He'd thought the process would take at least a few days. "Yvonne?" Jillian immediately connected the dots, her voice growing tense. "Steven, please tell me you didn't get me this job when you were in bed with her, did you?" Her imagination ran wild. She pictured a lavish hotel room, Yvonne grinning smugly while holding a whip in one hand and a candle in the other, harshly whipping Steven into submission. She knew Steven was powerful in Levix City. But in Southbury, he was insignificant in the eyes of the Quarry family. What had he endured to secure her this job? Steven's expression darkened. Was he really that pathetic to her? But he held back and coughed lightly, adopting a serious tone. "Just focus on your studies and work. Don't worry about the rest." "Steven…" Jillian's voice grew emotional. "Get over here. I want to thank you properly!" Imagining the thank-you to be steamy and wet, a surge of heat shot up from Steven's manhood. That was the downside of practicing the Legendary Dragon Strike. It left his positive energy constantly simmering when he started his cultivation. Maybe he should go find Jillian? Having a little fun on campus didn't sound so bad. Besides, he had time to kill before Charley returned. He agreed and made his way to Southbank University, which was situated in a vibrant university town surrounded by bustling business districts. He found a nearby coffee shop and sat down to wait for Jillian. Watching students pass by, he felt a wave of nostalgia. He had once studied here himself, and now he was back at his alma mater. It was summer, and the campus was alive with youthful energy. The sight of the girls' long, slender legs was quite a view. Just as Steven was enjoying the view, his eyes lit up. A slender beauty approached, striding in a blue, low-cut top that barely contained her ample curves. Her neckline alone was enough to ignite the imagination. She was stunning, even among the university's sea of beauties. To his surprise, this woman walked straight over to him with her long, graceful legs. She grabbed his hand, and turned to a man standing nearby, saying, "This is my boyfriend! Can you leave now?" Questions flooded Steven's mind. What the hell was going on? Who was this girl? Why was she claiming him as her boyfriend out of nowhere? Was she insane? Steven was stunned.
