Chapter 320
Henri wasn’t a fool.
He decided not to entangle himself further with the Love in Bitter Winter production team.
It brought him no benefits.
His target was, and always had been, Rose alone.
After the three–minute video was released, he couldn’t discredit her acting anymore.
But that didn’t mean he couldn’t find other ways to attack her.
Henri covertly had people gather information on Rose.
Rose seemed to have appeared out of nowhere in the modeling world. Her life before entering the
industry, her family background, everything was a mystery.
Even her real name hadn’t been exposed.
The strangest thing was.
Despite Rose’s growing fame, there were no candid shots of her outside of work.
It was as if she vanished from the public eye once her work was done.
Rose was trying so hard to hide her real identity. Henri concluded that Rose’s real identity might be a
little shameful.
Was her family an embarrassment?
Or was there something in her past she couldn’t reveal?
Henri spent a hefty sum to question those who had worked with Rose.

From their responses, he pieced together a shocking conclusion.
First.
Text ? owned by N?velDrama.Org.
Rose’s family might have a criminal history.
Why did he say that?
ording to an insider, he had once heard Rose answer a phone call.
Rose sounded helpless. “Dad, please handle Mom. She’s been arrested again? How long will she be
out this time? I can’t live like this if she keeps doing this.”
It seemed Rose’s mother was a repeat offender, likely getting detained by the police regrly.
No wonder Rose kept her background a secret.
Second.
Rose’s educational background was very low.
The evidence was as follows.
It was an insider who said.
Once, they talked about academic qualifications together. Everyone talked about some academic
experience, but Rose only smiled awkwardly.
They asked her if she knew about Anaville University
Rose’s face showed a very embarrassed smile.
It was suspected that she didn’t know this top domestic university at all.
Combining these pieces of information, Henri found a new way to smear Rose.
He chuckled coldly to himself.

Rose, you think I can’t touch you just because your acting is untouchable?
This time, he would let her know what it meant to be afraid of gossip.
No matter how good your acting was, if your reputation was ruined, you can’t turn things around.
Henri carefully orchestrated a smear campaign using a myriad of fake ounts to spread the
fabricated information.
He didn’t just focus on the ims about Rose’s mother being a habitual offender and Rose’s low.
education. Henri added rumors about Rose sleeping her way to the top and associating with several
influential figures.
In the world of defamation, a mix of truth and lies was typical.
Once this kind of news was released, even if it was fake, the person involved could not easily prove it.
Especially since Rose was a neer with little fan support, these rumors spread unchecked, with no
one to rify on her behalf. On the other hand, Henri had hired numerous experienced inte trolls.
He was confident this time Rose wouldn’t escape unscathed.
On this day.
It was the day for Anaville University to publish results.
“Theresa, you’re top of the ss again,” a ssmate said as Theresa walked in. “First in written exams
and the only one with an A+ on the final paper. You’re unmatched.”
Theresa was peerless in her academic performance, and despite any jealousy from others, no one
could challenge her standing.
Evan also knew about Theresa’s grades and his eyes flickered.
Indeed.
Theresa was still doing well.

If he didn’t act, the Direct Entry Ph. D. program admission would surely go to Theresa.
Every man for himself, and the heavens and the earth for him. Therefore, he could not be med for
secretly using means.
Theresa, anticipating her own results, merely smiled at her ssmates‘ admiration, feeling no particr
excitement.
Having collected her results and with nothing else to attend to.
Theresa was ready to leave.
“Theresa, wait a minute.” At this moment, Bryan came in.
Theresa stopped in her tracks. Bryan looked at Theresa in confusion.
Bryan smiled at her, the attitude seemingly friendly. “Theresa, there’s been an anonymous report
against you. There are some matters you might need to exin.”
“A report?” Theresa was momentarily baffled.
‘What could I possibly have done to warrant a report?” she thought
Evan’s gaze flickered slightly, and he lowered his head a bit.
The ssroom buzzed with whispers and spection.
Theresa was being reported?
What for?
As a well–known student in the Zathinese Department, Theresa’s sudden report piqued everyone’s
curiosity.
But with Theresa taken to the office by Bryan, they were left to guess the reasons.
In the office.

Theresa looked at Bryan, puzzled. “Mr. Jones, may I ask what this is about?”
Given Theresa’s outstanding academic record, Mr. Jones was quite amiable.
After asking Theresa to sit down, he said, “Theresa, while your grades are indeed excellent, there have
beenints that you’ve been missing a significant amount of sses over the past two years.”
Theresa pursed her lips. “The department’s policy allows students to study at home if they can maintain
their grades.”
“Yes, that’s true,” Mr. Jones said, “But you’ve missed almost an entire semester of sses this term.
Isn’t that a bit excessive?”
Theresa hesitated before nodding.
This semester, due to Love in Bitter Winter, her absences W
indeed notable.
“If you are absent from ss, what is the proper reason? Truth be told, the school will not say anything
about it. However, ording to the report, you are absent from ss. It seems you are in a
rtionship?” Mr. Jones’s face turned serious. “ording to the report, the one you are in love with is a
socialite. Additionally, your rtionship is not normal. It is said that you and him… are being kept as
mistresses?”
A sugar daddy arrangement?
Theresa was stunned.
She quickly said, “Mr. Jones, this ispletely nder.”
Mr. Jones spoke kindly, “I believe you. But Theresa, we’re in a crucial phase of determining candidates.
for Direct Entry Ph. D. program. As you know, the professors ce great emphasis on students‘
character. If you can’t ount for your whereabouts these past four months, the school might find it
difficult to advocate for you.”
“I…” Theresa hesitated.
Exining her whereabouts would mean revealing her identity as Rose.

Althoughing clean wouldn’t be a big issue, it could cause quite a stir.
“Is there something you’re hesitant about?” Bryan asked.
Theresa sighed. “I can exin. But… this matter might seem a bit unbelievable.”
