Chapter 9 The Invitation from the Campus Belle
Before Vincent could finish, his gaze fell on the signature from Maxwell Sue. His arrogant expression immediately froze, and he was so shocked that he couldn't say another word.
Seeing the change in Vincent's expression, everyone was even more curious. Petty rushed over and looked at the signature. She immediately exclaimed, "Maxwell Sue? That's impossible!"
The name of Maxwell Sue stirred a discussion among the crowd. Not only the students, but even the teachers in the office started to talk about it.
As the members of a medical college, they would definitely know who Maxwell was. He, Maxwell, was the chancellor of Ludington Medical College, and a well-known person in Ludington City as well.
No one expected that it would be Maxwell who had signed the certificate for Zachary. They finally understood why Jacob and Vincent had reacted in such astonishment.
After coming back to her senses, Petty sneered, "Zachary, I expected you to fake a signature, but I didn't expect that you would be so stupid to fake Master Sue's signature, and you even dared to hand it in. What a joke." The same thought came to everyone's mind, "This is a fake, isn't it?"
Even the students who knew Zachary well could not help but have some doubts about the signature. It was unbelievable that Maxwell would sign an internship certificate for a medical student.
Nevertheless, Zachary was not in the mood to argue with Petty. He just replied lightly, "I didn't fake it. That's Master Sue's signature." After that, he turned around to leave.
It was not an everyday opportunity that Petty had the chance to humiliate Zachary in public. Therefore, Petty would not let him go. At her signal, a few students blocked the exit.
Vincent stepped forward confidently with an arrogant smile. He sneered, "Based on your social status, it would be impossible for you to get Master Sue's signature."
Petty took out a golden invitation card from her leather bag, and she showed it off proudly, "Master Sue will be hosting his 70th birthday party next week! Can you see this? This is the invitation card received by Vincent's family. This is something truly from Master Sue, whereas yours is not. Stop making a fool of yourself in front of us."
Looking at the golden invitation card, the crowd went into another discussion. Many people knew about Master Sue's 70th birthday party. However, only a few people would be invited to attend. Although Petty had only received an invitation because of Vincent's family, it was still enviable enough already.
However, Zachary did not care about it at all. With the soul of the 'Herbal King' in his body, he couldn't be bothered about such trivial matters anymore.
In the end, Zachary pushed away the people who blocked his way, and he was about to leave without any comment.
Petty gloated, "He must feel guilty because we found out what he had done!"
The people around them sighed. Although many of them felt sorry for Zachary, they couldn't help shaking their heads as they disagreed with what Zachary had done.
At that moment, a soft voice was heard, "Excuse me, is Zachary Ching here?"
Everyone looked over and saw a beautiful young woman with long black hair, walking over gorgeously. She was smiling sweetly in her white dress, with no make-up on her face at all. Her beauty was so exquisite that she looked like a fairy under the sun. Everyone was stunned in admiration.
They couldn't help but look at her, and the room fell into silence.
"Vanessa Sue!"
Suddenly, someone cried out in surprise. Everyone snapped back into their senses, with admiration in their eyes.
Even Vincent, who was standing by Petty's side, was mesmerized by Vanessa's beauty. He couldn't look away from her at all.
Vanessa was the campus belle in Ludington Medical College. It was without any doubt.
Vanessa was so charming. Even Petty, who was a competitive person, could only look at Vanessa helplessly. She was not even qualified to be compared with Vanessa.
"Excuse me..." Vanessa was already used to having everyone staring at her. She looked around and spotted Zachary, who had been about to leave the room. Then, she raised her voice in delight, "Zachary, you're here!"
"Hey, Vanessa! You're fine now," Zachary greeted her lightly. He, too, had been slightly stunned by Vanessa's beauty, but the soul inside him who had lived for hundreds of years was already well used to seeing such beautiful women. Everyone suddenly realized that Vanessa was there to look for Zachary. Disbelief was shown on their faces once again when they heard how Zachary responded to her.
Vanessa was delightfully surprised. She grabbed Zachary's hand and said, "Thank you! Thank you for saving me!"
Everyone was breathless at the scene. Vanessa, who was the most beautiful girl in Ludington Medical College, had actually taken the initiative to hold a guy's hand, and that guy was none other than Zachary.
"You're welcome. It's just a piece of cake," Zachary smiled, waving his other hand. He didn't mind too much about it. He then asked, "Vanessa, why are you looking for me?"

Vanessa was startled when she looked down and realized that she was holding Zachary's hand. She blushed and let go of his hand immediately. Then, she took out a card and respectfully handed it to Zachary with both hands, saying, "Zachary, my grandfather's 70th birthday party will be held next week. He wanted to invite you over."
"Hmm..."
Zachary was a little hesitant. He really didn't like to attend parties.
However, he nodded and accepted the invitation card from Vanessa when he saw that the others were looking at him enviously. "I'll be there!" He said.
Vanessa's face blossomed into a smile. She clapped her hands happily, "That's great! Thank you very much!"
Zachary smiled as he was ready to bid her goodbye. All of a sudden, he remembered his internship certificate that Vincent had thrown to the ground. He then said to Vanessa, "Vanessa, I need you to do me a favour."
"Oh, what is it? Please tell me," Vanessa replied with a smile.
Zachary picked up his internship certificate, walked over to Jacob, and handed it over. He then said to Vanessa, "Master Sue has signed this internship certificate to prove that I have completed my internship in Rutherford Hospital, but these people didn't believe me. I'd like for you to vouch for its authenticity."
Vanessa nodded in understanding. Maxwell had already told her everything about how Zachary had saved her life, and what had happened in the hospital.
