Chapter 685
She and Tyler would never see each other again.
While Vicky was absorbed in her hectic schedule, rumors about her escalated.
One day, Vicky realized that she had forgotten about her keys as soon as she stepped out of the dorm and went
back.
When she reached the door of her flat, she heard her roommates talking about her.
"Hey, have you heard of the rumors about Vicky?"
Vicky's roommates were three foreign students, and Vicky paused when she heard her name being mentioned.
"Are you talking about the rumor that says she's been messing around?"
"I heard that, too. I heard that she asks for quite a lot of money in return. As long as the man can pay, she can do
anything!"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"She hasn't been back to the dorm for the past few days. Do you think...she was out with a man?"
"There's no doubt that's the case! There's this handsome young man who came by the academy to see her some
time ago. She sure has a lot of fish in her pond..."
"She'd never agree to go to parties, and here I thought she was a conservative woman. Who would have known
that
she was faking it? I guess you can't judge a book by its cover after all."xo
"Sara, you don't get it. What happens at a party is consensual with no money involved... Vicky values money too
much to go to an event where she won't be paid."
"I guess... It's a shame that our teachers have such high hopes for her when she's only here to sell herself to the
best bidder."
"Our teachers are men as well. Do you think Vicky might have seduced them as well?"
Vicky had not imagined that even her roommates would talk about her behind her back as well, and no one seemed
to doubt a single word of the made-up rumors.
She was stunned for a few moments before regaining her composure.novëxo
Instead of going in, she turned expressionlessly and left.
The rumors did not affect Vicky for long, and she learned to turn a blind eye at it.
She came to study, not to make friends, so she knew she only needed to focus on herself.
The Art and Music Academy in Molivia gathered the most talented students from all around the world, but even
among such a crowd, Vicky stood out as the brightest to the point that she was the focus of attention whenever
there was a performance.
"It's Vicky who plays the finale again..." A blonde woman complained as she changed. "Ever since she arrived, the
position of the lead has remained hers, and no one else has the chance of trying for the role. How can she be so
selfish?"
Gloria was putting on makeup and paused at the woman's words. "Vicky is more talented than us all, so it's only

"But you aren't so bad, either! You managed to substitute her as the lead when she called in sick before, right?
Gloria, have you heard of the rumors that said she called in sick for a week to get an abortion?"
The rumors centering Vicky had gone from her offering companionship to men, to her going for an abortion.
Gloria felt annoyed. After all, she hated people who spread rumors. "Vicky is my cousin, and I know her. Those are
just rumors."
The blonde woman shot Gloria a look. "Gloria, the friendship or kinship between women is superficial. Even if you're
sisters, that won't mean a thing when it comes to what truly matters."
Gloria did not respond, and the look on her face hardened.
The woman sighed and said, "If she really isn't that sort of person, this just means that she's drawn far too much
attention to herself. Jonathan from the neighboring academy heard about Vicky as well... He seemed interested in
her and came all the way to watch her performance today, n
The woman paused to look around before lowering her voice. "I overheard him saying to his friends that they
wanted to drug Vicky and force themselves on her..."
