But things were different now, he had to take the risk for Hesper.
Meanwhile, during the fifth round of the competition, the originally boisterous hotel had become much
quieter.
Most of the competitors had been eliminated, and almost all the remaining participants were staying in
single rooms now. Room 345 was the only room that was still housing two people,
which were Hesper and Celine.
As usual, Hesper arrived earlier than anyone else.
The temperature in Genecity was very low that day, and perhaps because of this year’s weather,
Hesper only got to know that it might snow again that day after reading the weather forecast.
Genecity had not had snow in several years.
After staying alone in room 345 for a while, someone knocked on the door abruptly.
Hesper got up to open the door and raised her eyebrows when she saw Michelle standing in front of
the room, looking a little hesitant.
Hesper wore a coat that day, and underneath the coat was a very ordinary-looking knitted
sweater, but it still looked extravagant on her.
Michelle had already thought about what to say, but when she saw Hesper’s face, her mind went blank
and she instantly lost her tongue.
“Do you want to come in?”
Hesper had already guessed the purpose of Michelle’s visit. Frankly speaking, she did not despise
Michelle; in fact, she only found her actions incomprehensible, so she could be a little impatient when it
came to dealing with her.
The entanglements and disputes from four years ago… She had almost forgotten what actually
happened during that period of time, and she had never paid special attention to which coursemate
boycotted her or made her college life harder than it had to be. Back then, Rickard was the only person
that she saw; he was literally her life.
Everything would have been fine if Michelle only provoked her and only her, but she slandered
Professor Jenkins in front of the media. It had affected Professor Jenkins’s work and life.
Hearing Hesper’s words, Michelle followed her into the room awkwardly.
Hesper turned off the camera in the room, as there was no need for other people to see this scene.
Seeing this, the broadcaster also turned off the recording system in room 345.
“Uh…” Michelle watched nervously as Hesper poured herself a glass of water, sat on the couch, and
looked up at her. She then could not help but swallow a few gulps of saliva before she bit the bullet,
opened her mouth, and said, “Ms Lane, I didn’t know who you are before this and painted a target on
your back. I’m sorry about that.”
In fact, Michelle did not manage to influence Hesper at all, not even a tiny bit, because those petty and
dumb tricks that she had been pulling were not worth her attention.
But Hesper gave off a smile and responded jokingly, “If an apology were useful in such situations, what
would we need the police for?”
Hearing Hesper’s words, Michelle’s face instantly turned pale.
‘Does she know that I’m the one who provided the photo to the media? But I did everything very
covertly back then… Although, Hesper is one of the Lanes, so maybe she found out about me after
some investigations…”
Michelle looked at Hesper and knelt right in front of her. “I’m sorry, Ms. Lane, I shouldn’t have taken
those photos, and I shouldn’t have sold them to the media!” Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.
‘Photos? What photos?”
Hesper was stunned for a moment.
‘Oh, no wonder someone managed to take a picture of Isaac picking me up after school. So it was
Michelle who did it.”
The blogger who spread the rumors had already received a letter of demand from Hesper’s lawyer, and
Hesper had asked him about the person who sent him the photos, but the blogger claimed that he did
not know the person who gave him the information and that he only wrote the article to attract some
attention online.
