Chapter 184


    Chapter 184


    Hesper was aware of Professor Jenkins’s entric behaviors, but she still could not bear being hit by


    his


    wrath.


    “Uh, looks like it’s already time for me to get to one of my sses. I’ll be going now.”


    Jessie gave Hesper a ‘good luck’ expression then quickly escaped the room.


    ‘Is she kidding me?! Doesn’t she know about my father when ites to giving someone a good


    talking. to? I was only standing by the side back there and it felt like I was the one who was being


    scolded, not to mention that he hasn’t even gone off the charts just yet. If Dad loses his chill and starts


    to rain fire and brimstone, I might not even be able to leave his office!”

    “Please ept my apologies, Professor Jenkins.”


    Xavier sneered, lowered his head, and took a sip of tea. “I thought I’d be surrounded by my children


    and grandchildren the next time I got to see you.”


    Before Xavier came to Genecity and became a professor, he had been living in Emperion. He was a


    local that spoke with an Emperionian ent, which made him sound more entric.


    Hesper lowered her head.


    It’s true that I’m the one who was at fault in the matter that happened back then. I also now know how


    hard-won the spot in thepetition that I gave up was. Professor Jenkins must’ve put a lot of thought


    and effort into securing that spot for me, and he was counting on me toe back with a


    championship title in order to make him look good.


    ‘However, the matter between Rickard and me happened so suddenly back then, and the Duvals didn’t


    really give me any other choice. They immediately removed me from the college without asking for my


    input. They didn’t even give me a chance to exin the whole thing to Professor Jenkins before


    dragging. me back.’


    “I have only one question for you. Having decided toe back and study again, is it because you


    really want to learn something, some new skills, and want to pave a career path for yourself in this


    field? Or did you just happen to remember that there were a few subjects that you didn’t get to finish


    back then, and. now you came back here to dawdle?”


    Xavier stared deeply at this protégé that he was most proud of back then.


    ‘If I were to say that I wasn’t disappointed in her back then, that would be a lie. After she left, I really


    wished I could go after her and ask her for the reason personally.”


    However, even if there was a sense of disappointment, it had all disappeared the moment he saw


    Hesper standing in front of him with a deeply troubled look.


    Hearing this, Hesper lifted her head. In her eyes, there were a lot of things that she did not have four


    years ago; confidence, rity, and determination were among those things that were now present.


    “Yes, I really want to learn, Professor Jenkins. I really love designing.”


    The firmness in Hesper’s eyes did not lie. She had been looking through her previous designs, which


    were already a little hazy in her memory, but she still remembered how she had spent countless


    sleepless nights for any one of those drafts.


    Her efforts were not fake; she truly liked it. That was why she would go to that extent.


    Xavier looked at her for a while, then nodded. “Okay, I’ll regard what you said as true. Just make sure


    that


    you put in the effort and learn as much as you can in the future. As long as you still have the ability and


    the edge, I, Xavier Jenkins, will bring you to any suitable asion that I can bring you to so that you’ll


    get the exposure and, eventually, the fame.”


    After passing Professor Jenkins’s test, Hesper walked out of his office, only to find that her palms were


    already soaked.


    But it was not because of nervousness but excitement. Looking at the familiar campus outside the


    window and the lush avenues that were reflecting the sunlight, Hesper took a deep breath.


    She had not thought she could still pursue her dreams at such an age.


    As soon as she saw Hespering out, Jessie immediately ran over. She tried to hear what her father


    said in the room through the cracks in the door, but the soundproofing of the office was really top-


    notch.


    She tried standing there and listening for a long time, but not a word was heard.


    “So, how did it go? Father didn’t say anything to humiliate you, did he?”
