Chapter 554 He’s Disappeared
Royce always had an elegant smile on his face. “What a coincidence. My family also has this work. Perl Ezequiel gave it to me personally.”
Once those words were said, the crowd was all stunned.
Even Leana Barker was a little surprised. Could it be that the highly respected elder that Perl Ezequiel had sent was Royce?
There was going to be a good show.
“I’ve known Perl Ezequiel for many years. I can recognize her handwriting…” Royce then looked at Jane. “The authentic work is with me. The one in your hand must be fake.”
Jane was extremely stunned. There was nothing more embarrassing than being exposed by her principal…
But her work was sold to her mother by Joe Yeager. How could it be fake?
Joe Yeager had accepted 800 thousand dollars from her mother!
Jane’s friends were also stunned. Could it be that Joe Yeager sold fake works to Jane’s mother? She asked for 800 thousand dollars. She was so greedy.
Anyone who made friends with such a bad friend would be unlucky…
’No, it’s impossible…” Jane shook her head in disbelief.
There were a few other works of Perl Ezequiel in her family, and two of them were also sold to by Joe Yeager…
If Joe Yeager really sold them fake works, how much would their family lose?
However, Joe Yeager was her mother’s best friend for many years. What reason did she have to do that??
’I just heard from this student that you bumped into Paige, but you refused to apologize?”
What Royce said put Jane in a dilemma. She said, “It’s not like that…”
’Don’t say that Paige hit you first. There are surveillance cameras everywhere. Do you dare to lie in front of your principal?”
What Leana Barker said made Jane feel even more embarrassed.
’If you hit someone, you should apologize. What did the University of Chicago usually teach you?” Royce said in a threatening tone.
Jane had no choice but to whisper, “I’m sorry…”
’I didn’t hear you. Say it loudly,” Leana Barker said deliberately, “didn’t you raise your voice when you showed off that you had works of Perl Ezequiel in your house?”
’You…’ Although Jane was angry, she couldn’t find a way to refute Leana Barker.
’If you don’t apologize sincerely in front of your principal, why are there students like you at the University of Chicago?” Leana Barker deliberately said.
Jane bit her lower lip and finally came to face Paige. “I’m sorry. I bumped into you just now. Please forgive me.”
Paige looked at her coldly, as if she had no intention of forgiving Jane.
If Royce Jakes hadn’t been here today, Jane wouldn’t have apologized!
’Jane, let’s go.”
“Hurry up and call your mother to ask if Joe Yeager sold you fake works. If so, ask your mother to find her.”
’Yes, call your mother first. If necessary, find an institution for identification…”
The girls helped Jane find an excuse to leave.
Jane looked at Royce and said, “Well, Royce, I’ll go first…”
After that, Jane was held by a few friends and quickly left.

“A tall tree catches the wind. This principle is undoubtedly reflected in you.” Royce laughed and looked at Paige lovingly. “What do you think? Do you have time to come to my place for a cup of coffee?”
’I have to lead the team back.”
Leana Barker listened to their conversation and was stunned. It seemed that Royce and Paige knew each other and had a good relationship…
’Paige is really amazing. She has so many hidden abilities and seems to know many big shots, but she has never shown them off…”
Unlike Jane, who was ignorant and shallow.
’It’s only been a while. It’s been a long time since we’ve sat down and had a good chat.” Royce was still trying to persuade Paige to stay. It was not easy for him to catch her, so he wanted to have a cup of coffee and chat with her.
Usually, Paige had her own career, so it was extremely difficult for her to find her to have a cup of coffee or talk to her…
“Maybe another day.” Paige was afraid that her classmates had been waiting for too long. They should have almost finished packing by now. It was time to go back to school.
“Okay, I know you’re busy…” Royce laughed again. He didn’t want to delay her. “When you’re free someday, call me…”
Leana Barker widened her eyes again. Paige had Royce’s phone number.
Most importantly, the relationship between Paige and Royce was close.
What was the relationship between them?
It sounded very intimate.
’Alright.” Paige smiled and said. “See you.”
“Don’t be too busy with too many messy things. Take good care of yourself.” Royce did not forget to remind Paige.
It seemed to be concerned about Paige. Leana Barker caught up with Paige and asked in a low voice, “Paige, do you know Royce? Do you usually have a good relationship with him?”
It seemed that Royce doted on her a lot.
“Mn, like family,” Paige admitted.
Leana Barker was a little surprised. ‘Then why didn’t you choose the University of Chicago at first? Was it because of the experimental equipment of the University of Illinois at Chicago?”
’Yes.” Paige raised her eyes again. “Where are they?”
Why hadn’t she seen anyone of them after packing up for so long?
’I’ll go and find them.” Leana Barker went to call them again.
After a while, Paige counted the number of people and found that Bess Whitney and Molly Campbell were missing.
Paige took out her mobile phone and called them respectively. Without exception, no one answered.
’Let’s look for them together.” Leana Barker and a few other classmates almost searched backstage, but they still couldn’t find them.
“Where did they go after packing up?’ Paige asked in a low voice.
’It seems that they went to the toilet together… Did they drop the toilet?”
“I’ll go and see if they’re there.”
’They are probably greedy and went to the back street of the University of Chicago to buy something to eat…”
Paige nodded, waiting on the spot.
After a while, Leana Barker ran over quickly with a key pendant in her hand.
’This belongs to Bess. She usually takes it with her like a treasure. I don’t know why it fell into the toilet.’
’I also found Molly’s Louis Vuitton backpack. She just spent 1,600 dollars on it. It’s impossible for her to throw it directly on the toilet floor.”
’Will they be in danger?”
’Ah? What danger can there be in the toilet of the University of Chicago?”
Thinking of those people from the Ghost Alliance, Paige suddenly realized that she had neglected them. She quickly went to the bathroom and pushed the door open, only to see that there was no one inside.
The window was open. It was not impossible for someone to be taken away from here.
Except for the key pendant and Louis Vuitton bag that they had just found, they did not find any other useful clues here.
‘I’ll call them again.”
’I’ll send them Line messages.”
‘Could it be that the bastards of the University of Chicago saw that the University of Illinois at Chicago won today, so they deliberately took them away?” ‘Ah, no way. Should we tell the teacher?”
