Bowen stepped off the plane through a VIP passage, dressed casually in loose black pants and a color-blocked shirt, a pair of sunglasses perched on his face. With his impeccable poise and striking presence, he could easily be mistaken for a celebrity.
Kelvin was already waiting at the exit. After escorting him into the car, he began, “Boss, Miss Miller just sent me a message…”
He then relayed all the tasks she had assigned him.
“Just do as Miss Miller says.” Bowen didn’t even bother to ask any questions.
Hearing this, Kelvin wasn’t surprised. He thought, ‘Miss Miller’s stock just went up another notch in my book.
‘Guess I’ll need to take her requests more seriously from now on.”
He asked, “Boss, should we head back to Turner Group now, or…”
“Go to…” Bowen was about to give Aubree’s address when he abruptly changed his mind. “Let’s head back to Turner Group first.”
Kelvin was a bit taken aback. To his knowledge, Bowen had rushed back this time specifically for Aubree.
Before Kelvin could respond, Bowen’s voice mused from the back seat, “Kelvin, do you think I’ve been a bit too clingy lately?”
Kelvin nearly choked on his own saliva, barely suppressing a cough. ‘Damn, why can’t I have temporary deafness right now? Was I really supposed to hear that? Boss, do you even hear yourself?’ he thought.
Kelvin stole a furtive glance at the rearview mirror, catching Bowen’s serious, thoughtful expression. Testing the waters, he ventured, “So… absence makes the heart grow fonder?”
Bowen gave him an approving look. On his last flight to Odionland, he had carefully studied the book “360 Ways to Raise A Daughter” that Ollie had sent him. The book emphasized giving her some personal space and letting her miss him a little, so she’d realize just how much he meant to her.

Chapter 98
handed out gifts to every student, a gesture that, while appearing generous, was actually a calculated display of the Wilson family’s influence.
Except for Emery, who remained adamant in his refusal to come, even Bryan couldn’t defy their mother’s orders and showed up to make a show of force for Carmen. As the real power behind the Wilson Group, someone many of the students’ parents would go out of their way to curry favor with, his mere presence ensured that no one in their right mind would dare provoke Carmen and risk bringing trouble upon their own families.
Students from modest backgrounds at least knew better than to speak ill of their benefactor.
When Carmen returned to campus this time, even the school administration made an appearance and held a special assembly for her, cautioning students against being misled by unfounded rumors.
