I Inherit Millions Out Of Nowhere

Chapter 17: Unseen Observer



Logan followed Brentley out of the private room. After hesitating for a couple of seconds, he spoke softly,

"Young Master Carter, did you feel satisfied with how things went today? If not, I can find someone to teach that Jaxson a lesson later!"

"Jaxson is just a small-time thug. There's no need to waste time on him," Brentley replied calmly.

"You're right," Logan nodded lightly, then continued, "Shall I drive you back to school?"

"No need. Your car is a bit too flashy. It wouldn't be good if my classmates saw it. You can drive off now," Brentley hesitated for a moment before declining.

"Alright, Young Master Carter. If you need anything in the future, just give me a call," Logan quickly responded.

"Got it," Brentley acknowledged before walking towards the school.

A moment later, Logan drove away, leaving Brentley alone on the streets. As he walked, he couldn't help but reflect on the events of the past few days.

"Sometimes, money really can change everything," Brentley sighed softly.

Just then, his phone rang. Brentley took out his phone and glanced at the screen, noticing an unfamiliar number. He answered the call softly,

"Hello, who is this?"

"Brentley Carter, did you move the books to my dorm?" The voice of his homeroom lecturer, Hailey, sounded as enchanting as ever over the phone.

"Teacher Hailey, I had something to do earlier. I'll go move them right now!" Brentley quickly remembered what Hailey had told him that morning and replied hastily.

"I'll be at the apartment at 3:30 pm. If the books aren't there, little Brentley, you'll be in big trouble!" Hailey's voice was calm but carried a clear warning before she hung up.

Brentley put his phone away and immediately started running towards the campus. Although money could change many things, it couldn't change the fact that Brentley couldn't afford to cross Hailey, the "enchantress."

He sprinted to the campus at his fastest speed, then headed to the administration office to pick up Hailey's things. Brentley deeply regretted not accepting Logan's offer to drive him back to campus. If Logan had driven him, he wouldn't be so exhausted now.

"Knock, knock, knock!"

Brentley knocked on the door of the administration office.

"Come in!" A middle-aged woman's voice called out.

Brentley pushed the door open and said softly, "I'm here to pick up Miss Hailey's things."

The middle-aged woman looked up at Brentley and then pointed to a stack of items wrapped in brown paper on the floor.

"They're right here. Take them."

"Thank you, ma'am!" Brentley replied, grateful for her help. Then, he bent down to pick up the items and headed out of the office.

The things Hailey had asked Brentley to carry seemed to be a stack of books, but thankfully, there weren't too many, so they were quite light.

Hailey often asked Brentley to move things to her place, so this wasn't his first time in the staff's residence. Even the dorm supervisor was familiar with him now.

A moment later, Brentley pushed open the door to Hailey's room, and a delightful fragrance greeted him. It was the same scent that Hailey always carried with her.

Brentley took a deep breath, momentarily appreciating the aroma, then stepped into her apartment.

Sunshine City University provided excellent benefits for its staff. Each lecturer had a one-bedroom apartment, and the decor was quite nice. Hailey, being a neat freak, kept her place exceptionally tidy and cozy.

She also seemed to have a particular fondness for the color purple—everything from the bedspread to the curtains was in shades of purple.

Brentley placed the books on Hailey's desk and prepared to leave. But just as he was about to step out, something caught his eye.

A piece of black lace lingerie was hanging on the balcony's drying rack, gently swaying in the breeze.

Brentley instinctively froze. His gaze had simply wandered, yet now he found himself staring at something far too intimate. He quickly looked away, but his face still flushed with embarrassment.

"I shouldn't be looking at this…" he thought, swallowing hard.

He had no intention of doing anything inappropriate—it was just the natural shock of seeing something so personal in an unexpected place. However, his mind couldn't help but wander for a moment, recalling the various rumors about Hailey circulating around campus.

Despite what people said, Brentley thought Hailey was a decent person. She might seem strict, but she was always kind to him. Knowing he didn't have much money, she often paid for school activities on his behalf. She never mentioned it, but Brentley was always deeply grateful to her.

Taking a steadying breath, he turned away from the balcony and made his way toward the door.

Click-clack, click-clack…

Just then, the crisp sound of high heels striking the floor echoed from outside.

Brentley instinctively froze. Before he could react, the door swung open, and the stunning Hailey walked in.

Seeing her, Brentley was momentarily stunned. His eyes darted toward the lingerie on the balcony before snapping back to the floor.

"If I step out now, she might misunderstand…!"

Given Hailey's personality, if she found out he had seen something he shouldn't have, Brentley would be in big trouble. He took a sharp breath and, acting on pure instinct, crouched down behind the balcony door.

"So tired…"

Hailey entered the room, placing her lesson plans on the table. She stretched lightly, her chest heaving impressively.

Brentley, hiding behind the door, could only pray silently that Hailey would leave soon.

Click-clack…

Hailey kicked off her delicate high heels and walked barefoot in her stockings toward the refrigerator.

"Ah…"

A few seconds later, Hailey suddenly let out a scream.

Brentley quickly peeked up at her and noticed that she had accidentally spilled coffee all over her clothes.

Hailey frowned slightly before reaching out to take off her jacket.

Underneath, she was wearing a white shirt, but now it was stained with several very noticeable coffee spots.

Brentley, watching from his hiding spot, couldn't help but gasp, thinking to himself, She isn't going to take off her shirt too, is she?

Just as that thought crossed his mind, Hailey slowly began to unbutton the top button of her shirt!

Brentley stood there, completely stunned.
