Chapter 157
Nathan immediately turned on his turn signal and followed her into the school.
However, he couldn’t find Audrey anywhere once he drove in.
He parked the car and tried calling Joseph to ask for Audrey’s whereabouts, but Joseph didn’t answer.
Nathan continued dialing as he searched through the university.
Meanwhile, Audrey had already entered the office belonging to the university dean, Harold Wilson.
“I’ve been trying to get you to come back over the years, but you’ve always refused. I thought you still cared about what happened back then.”
Harold placed a glass of water before Audrey and awkwardly pushed up his glasses.
“It was Nathan’s fault, not yours. Back then, you did your best to protect me, including contacting Professor Douglas. I know everything. I’m really grateful to you from the bottom of my heart.”
After exchanging pleasantries with Harold, Audrey got straight to the point.
She told him about Jacob, who received financial aid for needy students but was dressed in branded clothing.
“I’m wondering if there might be some oversight in the finance division?” Audrey’s tone was gentle, without any intention of causing trouble or suggesting the discontinuation of financial aid.
“I hope the financial aid is given to those who truly need it; otherwise, there’d be no meaning to it.”
When Audrey arranged for Evergreen Biotech to provide this donation, she specifically instructed that the list be kept confidential to protect the dignity of the needy students.
Still, it was inevitable that some people would try to take advantage of it.
“You’re right!” Harold frowned and nodded. “Wait a moment, I’ll have the Deputy Dean, Mr. Ernest come over to discuss the situation. He’s more familiar with information about the aid than I am!”
Harold made a phone call, and Clifford soon arrived.
After some initial pleasantries, Clifford began discussing the issue with Jacob.
“As for Jacob, his family situation is indeed quite troubling. His father died in a car accident when he was in junior high school, and his mother left him shortly afterwards. Now it’s just him and his grandmother, making a living by running a scrapyard.”
Clifford handed Jacob’s file to Audrey. “Here’s the information on Jacob.”
Audrey browsed through the file, her brows furrowing.
“I ran into Jacob at the café today. He claimed to be Nathan’s cousin, wearing branded clothing. He also told me he spends two thousand on just one meal.”

Audrey carefully examined Jacob’s photo and handed the file back to Clifford. “I hope you can verify the situation with him.”
“The school will thoroughly investigate Jacob. If Jacob is indeed squandering the subsidies, the school will revoke his aid,” came Clifford’s response.
As he finished speaking, a broadcast came over the campus.
at our old spot. If you hear
“Audrey, it’s Nathan. I have something to tell you. I’ll be waiting for you at our old this, please come!”
Audrey was startled.
Harold looked puzzled. “Is that… Nathan’s voice?”
Nathan’s voice came through again in the broadcast.
“Audrey, it’s Nathan. I’ll be waiting for you at our old spot. If you hear this, please come!”
“Is that really Nathan?” Harold looked at Audrey. “Has Nathan regained his memory?”
Audrey frowned.
“Audrey, I owe you an apology! I hope you’ll give me a chance to speak. I’ll keep waiting for you until you come!”
Harold was rendered speechless for a moment.
It was widely known that Audrey and Nathan’s love story had been vibrant from high school to
university.
However, Nathan then lost his memory and fell in love with someone else.
That said, he’s been acting strangely, plastering Audrey’s photos everywhere and now with the
broadcast.
“Well, this is indeed Nathan’s style.” Harold chuckled, seeing that Audrey wasn’t responding.
Yes, this was Nathan’s style.
During their most serious arguments back then, Audrey would ignore Nathan for several days.
He would go to the broadcasting room during lunch breaks, publicly apologizing to Audrey and singing love songs into the speaker.
