Chapter 765
But graduation was just around the corner for Sebastian, and once he was out of school, he was definitely going to make his
move on Aria.
Having spent so much time around these young people. Aria knew exactly what “shipping” meant. They’re shipping the wrong couple,” she said. “I already have a boyfriend.”
Sebastian froze. “Y-you have a boyfriend?”
“Yeah, I’ve been with Owen for a while now. Didn’t everyone know?” Aria just assumed all the students already knew.
Sebastian managed a weak smile. “I didn’t know.” He knew Owen was one hell of a lawyer. Compared to Owen, there’s no way he could compete.
Aria’s gaze stayed fixed ahead, completely oblivious to Sebastian’s discomfort.
“Mr. Shaw is really something,” Sebastian said, feigning curiosity. “But how did you two meet? Sorry if that’s a bit nosy, Ms. Saxon. You don’t have to answer if you don’t want to,” he asked quickly.
Sebastian knew he was out of the running now, but calling her “Ms. Saxon’ just came naturally.
“We just got to know each other over time,” Aria replied.
“Does he treat you well?” Sebastian asked.
Aria picked up on his odd tone and said, “He treats me really well.
“Owen is tall, handsome, has a great job, and on top of that, he’s an amazing cook.” Sebastian said. He couldn’t cook at all. He’d only ever gone into the kitchen to rinse some fruit. He really didn’t stand a chance against Owen.
Sebastian opened his mouth to say something, but before he could get a word out, something was suddenly shoved into his arms. Aria darted after him.

The young man suddenly pulled out a knife and lunged at a female student.
“Look out!” Aria shouted. She snatched off her hat and hurled it straight at his hand holding the knife. The blade sliced right past the girl’s clothes, barely grazing the fabric.
The girl stood frozen, eyes wide in shock, until her friend yanked her away and they bolted.
Aria kicked out, but the young man twisted to the side, dodging her attack, and swung the knife at her in a horizontal arc.
She quickly leaned back, the blade slicing just past her neck. In a flash, she caught his wrist with a swift reversal and twisted it hard.
There was a sharp crack. The knife dropped to the ground. Aria kicked him in the back of the knee, sending him dropping to his knees. In one swift move, she twisted his arms behind his back and pinned him there.
“Lucas,” Aria said.
Lucas froze for a split second, then let out a harsh, grating laugh. “I knew I had you pegged right.”
Aria turned to Sebastian, who had just caught up. “Call the police,” she said.

Sebastian nodded, still a bit dazed, and quickly pulled out his phone to call the police. The cops arrived in no time and cuffed Lucas.
Lucas looked at Aria with a sinister grin. “Not coming with me? Otherwise, you’ll never know why I wanted to kill-
