Chapter 152:
“Everything’s set, Phillip. Can’t wait to see Ashton’s face tomorrow night!”
However, as Tristan left the classroom triumphantly, he failed to notice another person hidden in the large room.
After Tristan left, Wade emerged from a shadowy corner where he had been hiding.
Clutching his camera, Wade had captured every detail of Tristan’s sabotage.
He peered out the window, watching Tristan hurry away from the building, and then promptly sent the incriminating video to Ashton.
That night, everything proceeded as usual, except for Tristan’s little trick.
The next day, the much-anticipated event at Inewood University, eagerly awaited by both students and outsiders, unfolded as planned.
In a bid to showcase itself to the public, Inewood University had announced that the show would be open to outsiders, allowing anyone to watch the performance.
Consequently, Phillip had no need to conceal himself. He donned a formal suit, and Tristan accompanied him to the event.
After everything that had transpired, Ashton had become a constant source of torment for Phillip.
Were it not for the Campbell family’s protection of Ashton, Phillip might have employed a far more ruthless approach to deal with him.
Nevertheless, this show presented an excellent opportunity for revenge against Ashton, who was merely an opportunist, and to make him lose face.
Phillip eagerly anticipated the start of the show, envisioning the moment Ashton would be publicly humiliated.
In case of any unforeseen issues, Phillip inquired of Tristan, “Are you certain nothing will go wrong?”

Tristan, with confidence radiating from him, patted his chest and assured, “Of course! You just rest assured. I handled everything discreetly. Even if someone discovers the problem, they’ll never trace it back to us. Besides, I sent you some photos last night. I only made minor adjustments to the internal components, and they’re so subtle that no one will notice unless they look very closely. Moreover, Ashton doesn’t live on campus. I’ve been monitoring the gate all day, and he only arrived this afternoon. Even if he discovers the issue now, there’s no time to rectify it!”
Reassured by Tristan’s confident words, Phillip finally relaxed. He nodded and hoped that Tristan had indeed taken care of everything. If Tristan failed, there would be consequences. After all, it cost him three hundred thousand dollars for such a minor task.
If it weren’t for Phillip’s intense grudge against Ashton, he would never have agreed to such a lavish sum for Tristan’s services. As soon as the two concluded their conversation, they spotted Ashton walking toward them.
Phillip’s heart skipped a beat, and he instinctively averted his gaze.
Although Phillip felt he had prepared adequately, the sight of Ashton walking straight toward him still made him uneasy.
He was anxious that his scheme might be uncovered by Ashton. Fortunately, when Ashton reached them, he showed no signs of suspicion. He simply offered them a friendly smile.
With a hint of humor, Ashton remarked, “It seems your business isn’t thriving lately. Otherwise, why would you have time to attend an event at my school?”
Despite Ashton’s lighthearted tone, Phillip felt the barb in his words.
