Chapter 145: Has to be Eliminated
As for watching over scarlet, he left it to one of his lackeys. He informed the other party to inform him as soon as possible, in case anything happened between Jaden and Scarlet.
Still, he did not believe that there was anything that was going to happen between the two of them, especially considering that the two of them were within the premises of the campus.
Even though he did not believe that if there was a relationship between the two of them, it was going to survive, he was not willing to take the risk. He had to end things as soon as possible, and so, immediately after he made sure that Scarlet and Jaden had gone into the lecture hall, he immediately left the school.
He was currently on his way to see a person, when suddenly, his phone rang. Taking it out, he realized that it was the person that he had told to watch over the movements of the duo back in school.
With his heart racing, he received the call immediately. And the moment that he received the call, a trembling voice came from the other end.
"Boss, something is extremely wrong. Jaden and Scarlet, they are married!"
"What the heck are you talking about?! How are the two of them married?!" Lucas was so shocked that he basically shouted the questions. He could not believe what he had just heard.
"Yes boss, it is just as I have told you. The two of them are married. In fact, they got married yesterday. The news is trending within the forum. You can check it out within the campus forum, everybody is talking about it." The voice responded.
Lucas suddenly felt like somebody had punched him directly in the heart. His heart was just about to shatter, but nevertheless, he managed to hold on. And immediately after he held on, incredible rage suddenly appeared within his heart.
How did this happen? It had only been over a week ever since Jaden was hired as Scarlet's bodyguard. At first, Scarlet was so intent in making sure that Jaden left, but she seemed to have changed her mind at some point in time.
During the first few days, she was contacting him almost every time, asking him to speed up the process, so that they could get rid of Jaden as soon as possible. But after a few days, she stopped contacting him about the matter.
But now, it seemed that something had happened in between the time that she was contacting him and when she suddenly stopped. It seemed that Jaden had done something to convince Scarlet, to allow him to stay.
Staying was not bad, the only problem was that after he stayed, the two of them got married? Wasn't that too fast? Additionally, how was it possible that Clifford would allow Scarlet to be married to her bodyguard?
Did they not care about the reputation of the family? If information about this incident spread out, those that knew that Johnsons family would definitely start speaking about it. At that time, the reputation of the family would definitely be affected.
It was not bad for the daughter of the family to be married. The problem was that she was being married to a nobody, just a bodyguard. That was definitely a very big piece of information, and for those people that were already eyeing Scarlet as a potential daughter-in-law, or wife, they would definitely have to do something about it.
Not wanting to believe this, Lucas ended the call, before he entered the campus forum. He looked at the two pieces of trending news within the forum. The first one was definitely involving the matter about Scarlet being married.
As for the second one, it was obviously the incident that had happened early in the morning, where Scarlet had defeated Alfie.
Looking at the time that the posts began appearing, it had only been about 10 minutes. But still, these posts had already trended, and had been viewed by almost the entire population of the campus, which number to about 70,000.
For the number of students that was about 70,000, that was to be expected considering that this was the most influential campus within the city. It's influence had spread even to other cities, as it was number 17 within the entire nation, when it came to campus ranking.
Lucas' expression turned extremely grim after looking at the posts, with each post being exaggerated than the other. The thing that made him extremely furious was the post that stated that both Jaden and Scarlet had already done 'that' as they were already married.
Bang!
Not being able to hold on anymore, Lucas threw the phone onto the ground, breaking it. He did not care about how expensive that phone was, as he was currently fuming about the news.
At this point, his rationality was gone. If he was thinking straight, he would have definitely done his own investigation about the matter. But he was extremely furious that he did not even think about it, instead, he got into the car, and drove away from the restaurant that he had stopped to take breakfast.
He headed straight towards the eastern part of the city, where he was going to meet somebody, who was part of the plan that he was hurting. At this moment, he had decided to go as far as possible, to make sure that Jaden disappeared.
Initially, he had planned to have Jaden willingly give up on his job, and just receive a simple beating. But now, he had changed his mind. Since this guy had the guts to marry the girl that he, Lucas Brown had set eyes on, he had to disappear from this world.
….
Jaden did not know about the explosion of the forum, and the news that trended about the relationship between him and Scarlet. Instead, he went through the lecture, almost sleeping, as he could not understand anything.
If possible, he really wanted to go out, and not attend any of the lectures. But since Scarlet was attending the lectures, he had no choice but to do the same, as he had to be where she was.
About 3 hours later, the lecture ended, and the students finally began moving out of the lecture hall. Of course, commotion rose once again, as they began discussing about the relationship between Jaden and Scarlet.
Scarlet on the other hand did not care about what they were saying, or rather, she was simply trying to ignore the matter, and left the lecture hall. Jaden immediately followed her, ignoring Mason who was calling him over.
Jaden obviously received several gazes that were filled with different emotions. But of course, the most dominant emotion among all the gazes that he was receiving was hatred. It came from the young men who had a crush on Scarlet.
It might be true that Scarlet was not the most beautiful lady within the campus, but he was definitely the one with the most outstanding figure. She was a fighter, and it was expected that she was going to have a better physique.
So of course, she was among the top girls that were being pursued within the school. Nonetheless, very little people could have the confidence of approaching her, and confess to her about their feelings.
After all, each and every time that a boy went to confess to her, they would end up receiving a beating from her. Additionally, they would be targeted by Lucas, who's background was not to be looked down upon.
Due to how it was difficult to get her, she held quite a high position within the hearts of the young men at the campus. That was especially so for the young men in the same class as her. They thought of her as theirs, and they could not allow anybody to take her.
It was just that there was nothing that they could do now. After all, the two of them had already gotten married. Additionally, they believed that if Jaden was capable of marrying Scarlet, his background was obviously not low at all.
The two of them, Jaden and Scarlet, not knowing about what the crowd was thinking, simply left the lecture block, and got inside the car. They were going to town, as Jaden had already informed Scarlet that he wanted to purchase something.
The next lecture that they would be having would be in the afternoon, so, they still had a few hours before the next lecture.
Scarlet did not refuse, and agreed to accompany him out of the campus. She also understood that it was going to be impossible for Jaden to go out and buy anything, leaving her behind. So, she had to go with him.
Not that she minded though, as she felt some kind of excitement in her heart, when she went out with Jaden. At least, he was not asking for permission from home, to be allowed to go alone.
Scarlet took the driver's seat, and drove the car out of the campus, with many students watching them. Several photos and videos were immediately taken, and were added to the campus forum, immediately adding fuel to the already blazing flame about the relationship between the two of them.
