What use was it to make amends now!
Perhaps he wanted to use this matter to exchange for her cooperation in resolving the Barrette Group’s image crisis!
After all, Mr. Barrette would never make a losing deal!
Damian wanted to say more, but in the end, he left.
The caregiver knew nothing about the online rumors; she only knew that anyone staying in this ward must be either rich or powerful.
She had just seen that gentleman, who was not only handsome but also attentive and caring toward his wife, and couldn’t help but praise him.
“Ma’am, you are truly blessed!
“I’ve worked as a caregiver in this hospital for so many years, and I’ve never seen a husband treat his wife so well!”
Claudine listened and found it utterly ridiculous.
Seeing that the person before her didn’t respond, the caregiver thought it best not to say more and busied herself with
her work.
After leaving the hospital, Damian went straight to Camberwell University.
He had thoroughly investigated Claudine’s past.
It was only now that he realized Claudine had once been so outstanding.
As her husband, he had known nothing about it…
The car soon arrived at Adriana’s residence.
The president of Camberwell University had said that Adriana’s research project was independent of the university, and considering Adriana’s health, he would have to speak to her personally about this matter.
Damian arrived at Adriana’s door and knocked.
When the door opened and Adriana saw Damian standing there, her expression immediately changed.
She really had no fondness for this man.
“Prof. Nixon, sorry to bother you!”
Damian held a gift in his hand, his attitude humble.

Adriana’s tone was far from friendly.
“What brings Mr. Barrette here?”
Damian didn’t know about Adriana’s relationship with Audrey; he only knew that Claudine had once been her student and was highly valued by her.
“Prof. Nixon, I am Claudine’s husband. By rights, you are also my mentor.”
Adriana didn’t even invite him in, only said, “If I remember correctly, the last time you came to see me, it was for Au- drey. Now you say you’re Claudine’s husband!
“I can’t possibly be your mentor!
“I’ve seen the news online as well.
“Back when Claudine insisted on marrying you and gave up her studies, I was very much against it!
“Now, it turns out I was right.”
As Claudine’s mentor, Adriana was also something of an elder.
Damian found it hard to explain anything.
“I haven’t done well enough!”
“Of course you haven’t!
Since you married Audrey, why did you divorce her?
Was it because of Claudine?
Did Claudine come between you and Audrey’s marriage?”
Adriana had been pondering this question for days.
She had someone investigate and learned that not long after Damian divorced her daughter, he married Claudine. This made her even more suspicious.
She knew Claudine was a good girl, but it was hard to say she hadn’t been deceived by Damian.
In the end, it was all Damian’s fault for hurting both her daughter and her student.
Damian frowned slightly.
Adriana was only Claudine’s professor-wasn’t she overstepping by asking all this?
“No! My divorce from Audrey had nothing to do with Claudine.”
”
Damian didn’t want to discuss his private affairs any further and got straight to the point.
“Prof. Nixon, I’ve come this time hoping you can give Claudine a chance.

She… missed your interview due to some special circumstances.
As her mentor, you should know her abilities best!
“I hope you can expand the number of PhD candidates by one.
“Of course, I will also personally sponsor your research project, Prof. Nixon.”
As he spoke, Damian took out a check.
“This is a token of my sincerity.”
What Adriana hated most was the stench of money that clung to businessmen!
She didn’t take the check, and her expression grew even darker.
“Do you think the reason I only accept one PhD student is because of funding constraints?”
Damian said, “Of course not! I believe Prof. Nixon has her own considerations!
This check means nothing else, it’s just to show my sincerity.
After all, Prof. Nixon, you must also hope Claudine can participate in your project.
“From what I’ve learned, Claudine has been in frequent contact with you lately, and you clearly think highly of her.”
No matter how Adriana looked at it, she felt that apart from his looks, Damian had not a single redeeming quality.
She really couldn’t understand why both those girls had fallen for this man!
The more Adriana thought about it, the angrier she became. If she weren’t worried about her blood pressure, she would have loved to chase him out with a broom!
“I do think highly of Claudine! But that girl just won’t listen! She insisted on marrying you back then, and now, thanks to you, she’s missed the PhD exam!
