Chapter 283
Coincidentally, two students who had their hands occupied with documents walked past me. I overheard their conversation, which
vitterest:
“Haven’t you heard? E
? Being
rich is also a superpower.”
I frowned slightly. As I listened on to their conversation, a sense of foreboding filled my heart.
The “dess” that they had mentioned had successfully gone abroad to become an exchange student, and it sounded like this could be related to my lost opportunity.
I started thinking back in detail as 1 tried to look for more clues in their conversation.
“Yeah, Theard about that as well. I beard that his family is powerful and influential. He just went ahead and took over someone else’s spot.
The other student chimed in his tone was unhappy and envious.
I was shocked. Was this all really because of money?
I denied this thought immediately. I believed that there was still justice and righteousness in the world. I have decided to dig deeper and investigate the matter so l could know the truth.
I pretended to be unaffected as I walked beside them and asked with a smile, “Who is this person you’re talking about? Why have I never heard of him?”
They gave me a look and seemed to think that I was a busybody, but still answered me anyway. “He’s the new dude in our experiment group. His name is Jacob Leigh 1 heard his family runs a company, and they are filthy rich.” Jacob Leigh? I quickly racked my brain for information garding that name, but nothing came up. Was it really him who took my spot?
1 didn’t dare to think more, but this was really very bizarre. If my spot wasn’t taken by someone else, I would’ve already embarked on a brand new learning journey
However, now that I had lost that chance, I shouldn’t think too much about this.
1thought I would no longer have any interaction with a certain bunch of people, but a familiar figure started reappearing in my world agal
Ethan seemed to be keeping tabs on me. Since I didn’t go abroad, he had started appearing more frequently in my world again.
1 hated bumping into him like this all the time, but I couldn’t avoid meeting him. So, I could only look for a way so that we won’t meet each other.
That day, I was packing up my things, preparing to go for classes as usual, when he suddenly blocked my path. It had been a long time since we last met. “What do you wande

“I’m not trying to cause you any trouble. I just want to apologize about something.” There was sincerity in his eyes that was laced with a tinge of regret, like he had something be needed to make clearto me However, his apologies meant nothing to ine, because all he knew how to do was say them without any actions to back then u
at you feel like you owe me an apology, don’t just say it with your mouth. Of course, I know you won’t do anything about it, so stop appearing in my life. It’s better for the both of us.”
I was very cold and firm towards him. I carried my b I was so determined about cutting ties
books in my arms and tried to walk past him. I knew he was loolding at me, and he was probably curious as to why
I knew we could never return to how we were, and wer
would never have that kind of relationship we h
had once
Tuote.
I didn’t know whether he would try to approach me again, but I was frustrated that he kept appearing in my world again Maybe because I was very cold toward him, the rest of the time when we would meet each other, he would just remain silent. Tould only find another wayout since I had lost the spot to be an exchange student
At this time, I found out that Mr. Watty had a new project, and he was able to bring a few students to Maville for a student exchange.
I took the initiative to understand the project and started my prep work. This time, the project was about international fashion design, which was an area that I was very passionate about.
