Time Heals All Wounds By Oliver Thomas 17 Summary
In Chapter 5, the protagonist calmly approaches a private jet at the east gate, where Captain Logan informs her that everything is ready for departure and that she should rest during the flight. Behind her, Aaron and Sophia watch in stunned disbelief. Aaron’s face turns pale as he struggles to comprehend the situation, while Sophia’s expression reveals shock and jealousy. Aaron, overwhelmed and confused, questions who the protagonist really is, unable to believe the reality before him.
The protagonist responds with a flat tone, telling Aaron he doesn’t deserve to know who she is and informs him that the scholarship he has been receiving under the name David Leroix Merit Grant is terminated effective immediately. Aaron is frozen in shock, protesting that she has no right and accusing her of playing pretend, while Sophia clings to him in disbelief, unable to accept that the protagonist wields such power.
Ignoring their reactions, the protagonist boards the plane and leaves, sending a message to her father to confirm a safe takeoff. Her father quickly replies, confirming he has already handled the scholarship termination and warns her to stay away from people like Aaron, describing him as manipulative and not worth her time. Aaron’s panic call to her father’s office only results in corporate deflection and a warning about overstepping boundaries, leaving him powerless as the protagonist moves forward.

You can’t do that! What gives you the right?! That’s from Leroix Corporation – you’re nobody! You’re just some random student playing pretend!”
