A thought had suddenly entered Vivian's mind. Without thinking twice, she quickly asked him, “Luke, | heard you

say... Mrs. King, right?”

She was sure that she had heard those words, but she just needed to be sure. Part of her just couldn't accept the

implication behind those words.

“Miss Lambert, it’s better for you to ask Mr. King about it personally,” Luke suggested.

If Anna had been in the office right now, she would have noticed that something was wrong. Luke was a very

cautious person. If he wanted to conceal Marcelo’s marriage from Vivian, he would definitely not have called

Renee “Mrs. King“. Instead, he would have just called her the usual “Miss Hudson".

Vivian remained silent as she ran this through her head.

Could Marcelo really be married?

He was married to Renee?

How could this be?

Vivian had always thought Marcelo was not going to fall in love with any woman. But if he ever did, it would be

her.

How could it be Renee of all people?

Renee had just walked out of KM Group when she received a call from Catherine.

“Why hasn't the school issue been resolved yet, Renee? You promised to help me!“Catherine practically shouted,

her voice filled with disappointment.

This brought a frown to Renee’s face. With one hand holding the phone to her ear, she entered her car and

started it with her other hand.

She responded to Catherine at the stthe engine roared to life, “When did | make such a promise?”

“That day at home, “Catherine reminded her. “You toldyou would think of a way!”

She was very desperate. She didn’t want to be expelled from school at all!

“Right now, there's nothing I can do,” Renee said impatiently and hung up.

But immediately, her mind went to Naomi.

Last time, Naomi had almost succeeded in making Renee pledge to fulfill her birthday wish.

Not wanting to be troubled by her conscience, Renee began to think of a suitable explanation that she would

give to Naomi.

But not long after that, Renee received a call from her professor. “Renee, Catherine is making a scene in the

dean's office. | reported it to the Hudson family, but they referredto you, saying you would take care of the

issue. You know, you're a respected alumnus of the school. We are worried that her actions may affect your

reputation. Hence, we hope you can cback to school and address it.”

“Okay, I'll cover right away, “Renee promised albeit with an angry look on her face.

Catherine was in the dean's office, crying pitifully, waiting for Renee to take care of the issue for her.

“I believe the teachers should handle this according to school policy. My opinion shouldn't matter.“Renee quickly

clarified her stance. “I'm just an alumna who's just graduated. | know | can’t interfere with the school’s policies

or affect its principles.”

The situation didn’t really allow for any negotiation. The school had only called Renee because the Hudson family

kept mentioning her. Rence had left a positive mark on the school and was a respected former student. The

school, mindful of her reputation, wanted to let her know about the current situation.

“Renee, you lived a fulfilling life as a Hudson for over twenty years. You can’t be this heartless!“Catherine

attempted to grasp Renee's wrist but Renee easily dodged her.

“You used my achievements to get into this University. You passed off my awards as your own. That was deceitful

from the start! And once there, instead of working hard, you chose dishonesty. Today's consequences are of your

own making!“Renee hissed.

Catherine got into the school as a talented student, but she had used fake versions of Renee's certificates. The

Hudsons had also made a hefty donation to secure her admission.

“You just don’t want to help me! Renee, you're just jealous of my success!” Catherine was stuck in her own

delusion. “Have you even thought about what this will do to Nana?”

Renee's face becsomber. “I'll talk to Nana myself. You don’t need to worry about that.”

The staff in the office were shocked by Catherine’s audacity, using someone to manipulate Renee.

“A student like you can’t be compared to Renee. How could Renee be jealous of you?” a teacher said, almost in

disbelief, as if to say, “Are you out of your mind?”

“Alright, this is resolved. Let's go.“Renee’s professor, realizing Renee didn’t want to continue the interaction with

Catherine,

escorted her out.

Once they were outside, Renee expressed her gratitude to Sylvester again.

“Don’t mention it. It is no big deal. We wouldn't have known about your connection to the Hudsons family if they

hadn’t cforward...”Sylvester sighed and gave Renee a comforting pat on the shoulder. “Focus on your own

path, don’t let them get to

you!”

Being adopted and then being emotionally manipulated by her adoptive parents and sister was incredibly harsh

for Renee. It wasn't her fault she was abandoned at birth.

“Seems like someone's here to see you.“Sylvester casually pointed in a certain direction.

Renee noticed Howard at the end of the hallway.

Howard, teetering between his fondness for Renee, seemed slightly winded, as if he had run the whole way. His

eyes, bright with excitement, were fixed on her.

With most students in class, the campus cafe was fairly empty.

“Here's your half-sweet milk tea,Renee. | didn’t get you a cold one since it’s not good to drink too many of those.

This one’s warm.” Howard set the drink down in front of Renee.

“Thank you.” Renee took a gentle sip of the milk tea, then inquired, “The post on the forum... That was your

doing, right?”

Howard looked surprised for a moment. “How did you figure it out?”

“The student council manages the school forum, and any trending topics are checked by you. My professor

mentioned that the post was very detailed, almost like legal evidence. “Renee smiled and gave him a thumbs-

up. “Howard, you could be a great lawyer someday!”

“I'm sorry. | didn’t mean to cause you any trouble.” Howard felt guilty.

He had intended for Catherine to face the consequences of her actions but didn’t expect the Hudsons to

shamelessly drag Renee into their mess.

“It’s fine. “Renee didn’t seem troubled. “But won't this put you in bad spot? If the fludsons realize you were

behind this, they might target you.”

“No, they won't dare.” Howard was confident as he shook his head “You see, my family... they're quite influential

Rocco wouldn't risk upsetting me.”

Renee couldn't help but burst out laughing.

This caught Howard off guard. “Renee, what's so funny?”

“It’s just that | find you unexpectedly... adorable.” It was a surprise to see this usually composed and promising

student council president, renowned for his seriousness, making such a statement

For Renee, it was the first tshe had genuinely smiled and laughed that day.

Looking at Howard's clothes and the quality of his belongings, Renee guessed his family must be even more

influential than the Hudsons, albeit more discreet about it.

Howard, blushing, looked at Renee for a moment before retorting, ‘Con, I'm actually twenty-three.I’'m a big

man.”

Renee caught his implication. “Being adorable isn’t just for children! Alright, | won't call you adorable again.”

Howard felt unusually embarrassed, particularly because Renee was the one calling him adorable. He was

puzzled as to why she would think so; everyone else always considered him mature and composed.

But he figured, being called adorable wasn’t so bad.

While Reneevwas still smiling, she suddenly sensed an intense stare.

Turning her head to look out the window, she saw a black Maybach parked outside the building.

The car window lowered to reveal the strikingly handsface of the man in the back seat.
