chapter 14 I know her!

The car smoothly drove towards Riverway University.
Half an hour later, they arrived at the entrance of Riverway University.
At this time, the entrance of Riverway University was crowded with people. Banners, large photos, and many reporters were crowded among the crowd.
"Sir, I'll go and have a look."
Elias got out of the car, but soon ran back.
"Sir, today is the centennial celebration of Riverway University. The entrance is under strict control, and cars can't enter. I heard that a little star named Ryleigh Temple is coming to perform, and most of these people are fans."
"I know her," Abraham said softly. His gaze pierced through the car window and looked at a photo held high by a fan, which was a sweet and cute girl.
"Eh" Elias was almost choked by his own saliva. He didn't expect Abraham to know this Ryleigh. He was secretly relieved in his heart, and it was fortunate to always maintain humility in front of Abraham. Otherwise, with his previous temperament, he would definitely tease a few words.
"Let's go in."
Abraham got out of the car, and the two of them walked through the crowd towards the campus.
Riverway University has a history of one hundred years and is permeated with cultural heritage everywhere.
Abraham lived on this campus for a year and was very familiar with it.
Along the way, they met several familiar faces, which were his former teachers. Looking at the youthful smiles around him, Abraham couldn't help feeling a bit dazed. Once upon a time, he was also so carefree.
But now, everything has changed.
"Ryleigh is here."
"Ryleigh has gone to the auditorium, let's hurry up."
The students spread the news and rushed towards the auditorium.
"Let's go and see, too."
The little girl who used to follow him and call him brother Abraham has now become a big star in the spotlight.
Abraham and Elias came to the auditorium, which was already crowded with people, and they could only watch from a distance.
"Look, it's Ryleigh."
"She's so beautiful."
"Ryleigh, we love you."
The shouts were one after another.
Abraham looked at the tranquil girl on the stage, and a faint smile appeared on his face.
When Elias saw the smile on Abraham's face, he couldn't help but get excited. It seemed that this Ryleigh had a certain status in Abraham's heart. With his connections, he would definitely take good care of this Ryleigh in the future.
"Hello everyone, I am Ryleigh Temple, and I am also your senior."
Ryleigh's sweet voice sounded, but the words behind were drowned in the loud cheers.
"Shush" Ryleigh made a gesture of silence.
And surprisingly, the crowded auditorium with thousands of people really quieted down.
"Today is the centennial celebration of our alma mater. I am honored to be invited. Next, I will bring you a song called 'Broken Wind Chime'. I hope you will like it."
The melody sounded, accompanied by her beautiful singing.
You tied a wind chime in front of my door with your own hands,
The breeze blew, and the wind chime rang.
You said that it was the spring breeze confessing to me,
But I felt the taste of love.
After you left, the wind chime line broke.
That taste left with you.
After the song ended, there was a thunderous applause after the silence.
"It's so good to hear."
Elias clapped desperately, his hands were red.
"Uncle, are you also a fan of Ryleigh?" A girl in front of him turned her head and asked.
Elias was slightly stunned, then quickly nodded, "That's right, I am. I mean, I became her loyal fan the first time I heard Ryleigh sing."
"In that case, are you interested in joining our fan club?" The girl asked.
"What fan club?" Elias looked confused.
"You're really stupid. Of course, it's Ryleigh's fan club. I'm the vice president. Although you're a bit old, you can still get in as long as I vouch for you."
"I"
"Shush, listen to the song first. We'll talk about your joining later."
The girl interrupted Elias's words and pointed to Ryleigh on stage who was singing the second song.
Elias's mouth twitched. He looked up at Abraham and just met Abraham's teasing gaze. It seemed that Abraham had already seen through him. He scratched his head in embarrassment.
Ryleigh sang three songs in a row, then apologized to everyone and went back to the dressing room.
"Sir, would you like to see Ms. Temple? I can arrange it," Elias said.
Abraham nodded slightly. It's not easy to meet an acquaintance, of course, he should go and see her.
As soon as Ryleigh returned to the dressing room, a young man full of brand names and holding flowers came up to her.
Palmer Porter, the son of Mathias Porter of Universe Corporation, is a rich and young master who has long been enamored with Ryleigh.
"This is Ryleigh's dressing room. Who let them in?"
Ryleigh's assistant, Violet Louis, yelled at the staff next to her unhappily.
"Miss Violet, don't blame them. You know, there's no place in Riverway City that I can't get into." Palmer's tone seemed to be explaining, but it was full of sarcasm.
Violet's face turned slightly angry. She suppressed the anger in her heart. She knew she couldn't afford to offend Palmer.
"Ryleigh, these are for you. Tonight we have a banquet at Universe Corporation. Your parents will also be attending. I would like to invite you to attend." Palmer smiled and handed over the flowers in his hands.
Ryleigh frowned slightly. Her parents both work at Universe Corporation, and Palmer has been pursuing her relentlessly. Because of her parents, she has been enduring it.
"I'm sorry, I have an announcement to rush to later."
Ryleigh did not accept the flowers and directly refused. She thought to herself, it seems that her parents need to resign. She now earns enough money and doesn't need her parents to work so hard.
Palmer's face darkened. "Miss Ryleigh, why do you need to refuse me from a thousand miles away?"
"I said, I have an announcement to rush to later."
"Is there really an announcement to rush to, or is it an excuse to refuse my invitation, you and I know very well. Even if Miss Ryleigh has an announcement to rush to, shouldn't you also care about your parents while you are busy with your own work?" Palmer sneered.
"Despicable!" Anger appeared on Ryleigh's tranquil face.
"Miss Ryleigh, you are a star, be mindful of your image," Palmer didn't get angry, but instead smiled triumphantly, "I forgot to tell you something. Recently, a lot of commercial secrets of our Universe Corporation have been leaked. I suspect it has something to do with your father."
Ryleigh's face turned red with anger. She glared at Palmer. This man is too despicable. He threatened her with her parents.
"Miss Ryleigh, don't be angry. Now it's just a suspicion. Whether your father is the one who leaked the secrets depends on what you do."
The threat in Palmer's words was clear to anyone.
He had been coveting Ryleigh for a long time, and he had not used the same methods as before to maintain his image. But now he was losing patience.
"You are despicable and shameless. If you dare to hurt my parents, I will never let you go." Ryleigh, who was usually gentle and quiet, was now like an angry kitten, angrily staring at Palmer and saying.
However, Ryleigh's little anger was not a big deal to Palmer. Instead, it made him reveal his true nature.
"Ryleigh, you really think you're some kind of star. In the eyes of this young master, you're just a tool for warming the bed. It's your honor that this young master is interested in you. Don't fucking play hard to get. I'll tell you this, if you spend the night with me tonight, I'll pretend nothing happened. Otherwise, your whole family can't expect to have a good time."
This sentence fell into the ears of Abraham and Elias who had just walked in.
Abraham's eyes narrowed slightly.
But Elias was like a chicken blood, his heart was on fire. It was really a pillow when he was dozing off. He was just thinking about how to take care of Ryleigh to win Abraham's favor, and now someone was offering him an opportunity.
Thank God, Elias muttered in his heart, then took a step forward and kicked Palmer in the waist.
Palmer was secretly pleased that he had Ryleigh under control, but he was kicked by Elias and fell onto the makeup table next to him. The tragedy was that his head smashed the makeup mirror.
"Crash"
The shattered mirror, the bottles and jars of makeup products fell to the ground.
Palmer was hit hard on his eyes. He touched his forehead and looked at his hand. It was full of blood. Before he could speak, Elias grabbed his hair and pulled him over.
"Slap slap slap"
Elias slapped Palmer a dozen times.
These dozen slaps Elias used all his strength, slapping Palmer's handsome face into a swollen pig's head, Palmer's mouth and nose bleeding.
When Elias let go, Palmer collapsed on the ground.
This sudden incident left everyone in the room dumbfounded.
The person who was acting all tough and arrogant, Palmer, was suddenly beaten down like a dead dog.
