Bertie went silent when he heard of the news. He remembered grandfatherâs advice to let Kathy stay in Country B and leave Ocean University.
The trouble would still come again and again.
âYeah. You have to be there for her.â
âIâm not close with her though.â Zofia raised her eyebrows, âDonât you love her? If you can help her overcome this, maybe sheâll fall in love with you after this.â
âNot this time.â
âWhy not?â Zofiaâs curiosity continued to increase.
âJust focus on your studies and stay out of other matters,â he warned.
âThen I canât be there for Kathy.â Zofia blurted out.
âDonât you want the ticket to your beloved singerâs concert?â he threatened.
Zofiaâs expression immediately changed. âFine! Iâll console her! I want the first row seat!â
When she got back to her dorm, she thought that Kathy would be hiding in her bed with tears flowing down her cheeks. Surprisingly, she was reading.
âIâm pretty sure you havenât eat anything. Here, I bought you fried rice.â Zofia gave her the food container.
âThank you, Zofia.â
âDonât thank me. My brother forced me to do this.â
âThis time, how are you planning to solve it?â Zofia asked her again.
âI donât know,â Kathy answered honestly.
She looked at Zofia. She knew that Zofia had a huge circle of friends. âHey, do you know where Caelan stays?â
âTwo floors above you. 1208.â
âThank you.â
Soon, she was standing in front of his dorm door, unsure of her decision. However, before she could knock on the door, she heard a boyâs words from nearby.
âCaelan, isnât that Kathy who copied your answers?â
Two boys could be seen. The one who spoke was Cohen, and the one beside him was most probably Caelan.
Kathy felt disgusted as soon as she saw the both of them.
âCohen, donât spout nonsense. I never copied his answers.â
Her face gradually became pale as she said.
The word âcopyingâ was a pain from the bottom of her heart. She curled her fingers into a fist.
âWhy are you here, Kathy?â Caelan asked.
âYou know that I didnât copy your answers.â Kathy looked at him.
But Caelan was calm.
âThe school will decide whether you copied or not. I can also said that I didnât copy your answers.â
âKathy, students like you should be kicked out from the school.â Cohen roared in anger.
âI wonât get kicked out! Never!â
She must prove her innocence.
She didnât go back to her dorm. Instead, she walked around the area.
At that time when the results were out, no one had realized that their answers were the same. This only happened when school restarted. Was someone plotting against her?
Now she thought about it, Cohenwas jealous when Benedict Watson chose her. It made sense if heâs the one behind all this.
When she confronted Caelan just now, even though he looked calm, she couldnât miss the way he avoided eye contact with her.
What should she do in this situation...
She looked around and observed the students who were discussing about their academics. She couldnât believe that she would be kicked out of school before class even started.
Annoyed, she sat down on a bench beside the man-made lake, her leg kicking the pebbles around the bench.
Soon after, one of the pebbles was kicked back to her. She curiously looked up and saw Joseph walked over to her from afar.
âWhy are you here?â Kathy immediately looked away.
Joseph sat down beside her and stretched out his leg, kicking away the other pebbles in the process.
âTo look at my ex-wife.â
âThen you can leave now.â Kathy said blankly.
But Joseph made no moves to leave.
Kathy could only chose to ignore him.
However, Joseph had a strong presence that Kathy had a hard time ignoring him.
To add on, her heart had calmed down a lot with him by her side.
âJoseph, do you think that Iâll be able to continue my studies here?â she muttered.
Her road was never smooth from her exams till now.
It was as if there was a force thatâs stopping her from continuing on.
Now, she didnât know how to prove her innocence. To aggravate the situation, everyone thought that sheâs the cheater, not Caelan.
âYou will, Kathy. Like I said, I will help you fulfill every dreams that you have.â Joseph stretched out his hand and hugged her shoulders, trying to console her.
He understood her pain and fear.
For a moment, pain flashed through his eyes. He couldnât see her in this state.
Kathy smiled and said, âYouâre not Superman. I asked the professor about this before. He said that the recording of the exam went missing. I think that someone is plotting against me.â
And she had nothing to protect herself from it.
âIf you really want to prove that you enrolled in here with your own abilities, you can suggest to take the exams again.â
Kathy was stunned for a while. Her eyes suddenly sparkled.
Why had she never thought of that?
She looked at Joseph who was silent.
His idea was the solution to her current situation.
âKathy, you should never give up no matter what. Do you understand?â Joseph lifted her jaws and looked at her in the eyes.
She felt like she could drown forever in his deep stare.
She blinked a few times, trying to maintain her composure.
She managed to in the end.
She slowly nodded her head. âI know. Thank you, Joseph.â
Joseph then walked her back to her dorm. The way back was a silent journey.
However, the atmosphere was warm and comfortable.
Kathy slightly blushed. She tried her best to distract herself from enjoying it too much.
After saying their goodbyes, Joseph didnât leave. Instead, he kept standing at the entrance of the dorm.
It went on until John called him.
âMr. Joseph, Iâve found out information about Caelan and Cohen.â
âTell me about it.â
My Sweetheart ï¤Chapter 315 Will Not Stand By and Watch Genius Son Sells his Mom to Dad âCaelanis a student at Ocean University, but during his study there are numerous records of him failing his tests. He has a history of being sanctioned. If we are to follow the regulations and requirements, he is not qualified to be a researcher. As for Cohen, Iâve recovered the footage and handed it over to the school.â
âOkay, continue to dig information about Caelan. Check whether he had any contacts with anyone unusual this year.â
...
The next day, Kathy woke up early.
She almost didnât sleep the whole night yesterday. She barely managed to sleep for an hour after lying on the bed for a long time.
Zofia had already went to class. After washing up, she contacted Mr. Watson and got ready to go to find him.
A large banner hanging on the dorm opposite to hers caught her attention when she walked out of the door.
âGET OUT OF OCEAN UNIVERSITY, KATHY THE CHEATER!â These words were clearly printed on the banner.
Students who walked pass her were criticizing her too. âHow can someone with this kind of attitude enroll into Ocean University.â
âI know right. I wonder what was on Mr. Watsonâs mind.â
âI think she used the backdoor method. Doesnât really matter anyways, she wonât stay in our school for long...â
â...â
On her way there, all the students were mocking her.
She stared intently at that banner and curled up her fist, trying to control her emotions. Her eyes was turning red.
But she must not cry.
