Chapter 3

Estelle spaced out for a moment.

The man spoke in a cold tone, “What are you following me for? Are you a student at the University of J

City?”

He had noticed the girl following him all the way, stopping whenever he stopped and even followed him

to the elevator

Estelle’s face flushed, but quickly returned to a calm expression, “Is this the way to your home? It’s a

public place, why do you think I am following you?”

A hint of coldness flashed in the man’s eyes. He leaned back a step to make way for Estelle to get on

the elevator.

Estelle scoffed, “Never mind, I don’t want any misunderstandings.”

She then turned and headed for the stairs.

The elevator doors closed behind her, blocking out the sight of the man’s narrowing eyes.

Afraid of bumping into Jonathan again, Estelle decided to take the stairs up to the ninth floor.

When she arrived at the conference room, her advisor and the dean of the economics department were

discussing something. They gave her a look, signaling her to wait a bit.

A few other students were also there to hand in their documents, among which a pair of gloomy eyes

stared at Estelle maliciously.

Pretending not to see, Estelle took out her phone and played Sudoku for a while.

In less than five minutes, she solved a round and heard footsteps approaching.

“You’ve been back for a while, huh? It’s about time you came back!”

With the principal’s voice, two people entered the conference room, one was Mr. Ingram, and the

other….

Estelle couldn’t help but frown. What are the odds?

Jonathan also saw Estelle, his gaze sweeping over her without stopping.

The dean hurriedly greeted the principal and introduced Mr. Lamont, the former student and current

president of the Lamont Group, as the sponsor of several scholarships.

The dean’s demeanor instantly became more respectful after shaking hands with Jonathan. He

mentioned that today was the deadline for students to submit their scholarship applications, and all the

students present had benefited from Mr. Lamont’s scholarships before.

Jonathan glanced over and seemed to spend more time looking at Estelle, then smiled faintly. “The

University of J City has always been a place where talent emerges!

Estelle looked at the handsome side profile of the man, her eyes rolling, wondering whether the real

Jonathan was the playboy they talked about or the refined gentleman he had just portrayed.

Suddenly, the principal called on a few students to stand up in front of Jonathan, some looking up at

him in awe, while others shyly looked away.

The girl who stared at Estelle just now suddenly stepped forward and chimed in, “Since Mr. Lamont, the

sponsor of the scholarship, is here, I have something to say.”

The advisor frowned, not knowing what Brooke Hester was up to.

Mr. Ingram gently said, “If you have something to say, just say it.”

Brooke glanced at Estelle and said, “Mr. Lamont’s scholarship is meant to reward outstanding students

at the University of J City. I think that being outstanding should not only include academic performance,

but also

good moral character, right?”

“Of course!” Mr. Ingrarn nodded.

Brooke took out her phone and showed everyone a post on the university forum

“A few days ago, someone saw Estelle getting into a luxurious car after school Estelle’s family is pretty

average, so they probably can’t afford a car like that I think we can all guess what she was doing is

someone like this really an outstanding student?”

Except for Jonathan, everyone’s face changed. The advisor whispered, “Brooke, why are you saying

this in front of Mr. Lamont?”

Brooke raised her eyebrows, “I want to let Mr. Lamont know what kind of people his scholarships are

supporting Isn’t that a waste of his money?”

The dean’s face darkened as he took a look at the phone, there was only some blurry photos of Estelle

getting into a Mercedes S600 with an older man whose face was unclear.

“Estelle, how do you explain this?” Brooke looked at Estelle provocatively.

Estelle’s delicate face was expressionless, her usually gentle eyes now icy cold, “Who are you? Why

should I explain anything to you?”

As Brooke was about to reply, Jonathan suddenly interjected in his signature sarcastic tone, “What era

are we in that students of such a prestigious university would still use such baseless rumors to slander

someone’s reputation?”

Brooke clenched her teeth and retorted, “There are photos, Mr. Lamont, how can you say it’s

baseless?”

Jonathan sneered, “What did you see in those photos? If I speak up for her now, do you also want to

say that there is something going on between us?”

Estelle’s eyelids twitched.

She was suddenly grateful that Jonathan hadn’t recognized her, which allowed him to speak up for her

so confidently.

Jonathan added, “This is how prestigious students behave?”

He emphasized the word “prestigious”, which was clearly a satire on Brooke’s previous statement.

Brooke was silenced by Jonathan’s overwhelming presence.

Everyone’s facial expressions slightly changed, Brooke was embarrassed, and the rest were also

uncomfortable. Estelle, however, raised her eyebrows in surprise, not expecting that Jonathan would

come to

her defense.

Mr. Ingram frowned and spoke in a deep voice, “Mr. Lamont is right. A few blurry photos shouldn’t be

used to judge someone, and it shouldn’t be on the University of J City’s forum in the first place.”

The advisor immediately responded, “I’ll have someone delete the post right away.”

Brooke was still not satisfied and wanted to say something more, but the advisor stared her down.

Mr. Ingram turned to Jonathan and said with an elegant smile, “Since the principal, Mr. Fletcher, is

using the conference room, why don’t we go to my office instead?”

Jonathan nodded, “That sounds good.”

“Please, this way!”

“Mr. Ingram, please!”

After Mr. Ingram and Jonathan left, the advisor turned to Brooke angrily, “Brooke, you really don’t know

any better, do you?”

9/3

Brooke clenched her teeth without saying a word, glared at Estelle, and stormed out of the conference

room

The advisor comforted Estelle for a bit Estelle didn’t say much else, handed in her materials, and then

excused herself.

Around the corner of the hallway, Brooke was standing there, coldly staring at Estelle

Estelle walked past her without looking sideways As they brushed by each other, she stopped and said

casually. “If you like Saul just go after him. Using these low and dirty tricks just makes you look

She glanced sideways, her face should be pure and innocent, but instead, it carried an icy coldness,

utterly stupid””

Brooke’s entire body tensed up for a moment, angrily said, “What did you say?”

Estelle took a glance at her and then walked away calmly.

Unable to contain her anger, Brooke went to catch up with her but was stopped by another girl,

“Brooke, calm down, we’re in the office building!”

Brooke stood still, her eyes menacing as she stared at Estelle’s retreating figure, “I’ll get her one day!”

Estelle didn’t have classes in the afternoon. During noon time, she took the bus back to her hillside

villa. Sitting on the bus, she couldn’t help but think about Jonathan again.

The first time they met, they slept together without getting to know each other, and the second time

they met, she was treated as some stalker and was accused of being a mistress in public….

Resting her forehead against the bus window, Estelle raised her eyebrows slightly, thinking he must be

her nemesis!

An hour later, Jonathan declined Mr. Ingram’s invitation for a dinner party and drove away from the

University of J City.

The driver asked, “Mr. Lamont, there’s a development meeting at the Golden Palace Villa Area at 3 pm

this afternoon. You have some time to rest before that. Where would you like to go?”

Jonathan glanced at the documents in his hand, and after hearing the word ‘villa’, an idea popped up in

his mind, he said indifferently. “Let’s go to Villa del Sol.”

“Roger that!” The driver turned the car towards Villa del Sol.

Jonathan’s cell phone suddenly rang. After answering the call, Millard’s voice came from the other end,

“Mr. Lamont, I’ve found the woman from last night!”
