    Chapter 185


    Hesper shook her head. In fact, she understood the underlying message in Xavier’s tone. Mostly, he


    just sounded like he was exasperated because she had failed to meet his expectations; other than that,


    he did not intend to me her. He might be strict, but he had always been an excellent teacher.


    Jessie clicked her tongue and shook her head lightly. “I don’t believe that my father can spit anything


    positive out of his mouth. If all you do is show him respect, then he’ll only think that you’re a pushover,”


    “Ahem, ahem.” Hesper looked at the man who opened his office door silently and tried her best to wink


    at Jessie, warning her about her father’s presence.


    However, Jessie had started badmouthing her father and she felt unstoppable, so she did not even pay


    attention to Hesper’s expression for a while.


    “Jessie Jenkins, I never knew that you have so many things to say, huh?”


    As soon as Xavier spoke, Hesper could not help but burst intoughter. Jessie’s face turned pale


    instantly.


    “…Dad?”


    Xavier leaned against the door frame with a smile and said indifferently, “Yo, did you hear what you just


    said? How could I be worthy of being called your dad?”


    “My ss is about to start, so I’ll take my leave, Professor Jenkins!” Hesper suppressed augh, gave


    Jessie a ‘good luck’ look with a smirk, then disappeared from the corridor in an instant with her


    schoolbag in her arms.


    “Dad, I’m sorry!”


    Hesper had almost forgotten the theories that she had learned while she was studying in college, but


    fortunately, she had not forgotten the knowledge that she picked up back then. It was just that the


    written theories were no longer something that she could reiterate off the top of her head.


    After all, so many years had passed, so Hesper was also prepared for the fact that she might not be


    able to keep up in ss at first. However, because she received a lot of education when she was living


    with. the Lanes in the past few years, her sensitivity toward fashion was levels above any of the other


    students in the course. After all, one could only umte social experience through exposure and


    time. It was not something that could be understood through verbalmunication.


    Many people in the ss began to inquire about the background of this transfer student who had


    suddenly joined their ss halfway through the semester, but in the end, all they could find out was that


    she was a senior who had dropped out of school.


    The students who knew Hesper back then had long graduated and Hesper lived off campus, so even


    after a week of school, she was still very unfamiliar with the students in her ss.


    “You might not know this, but several young boys from other departments havee over and inquired


    about you.” Jessie cracked her fingers. “Let’s do some math. You’re four years older than them, aren’t


    you? Tsk tsk tsk, sure enough, looks are the most important aspect in courtship. The age difference is


    nothing whenpared to how someone looks.”


    Hesper felt that the gossip that Jessie was bbering about was very interesting, but there was still no


    sense of reality.


    ‘I used to be someone invisible when I was studying in this college. Now, in order to study with peace of


    mind, I don’t n to take any limelight. But how did I be the “ygirl who flirts with all men” that


    Jessie just mentioned?’


    “I can see that you have no idea that so many people are talking about you on campus. Some of them


    Original from N?velDrama.Org.


    even im that you look very simr to the newly appointed president of Lane Holdings’ branch office


    in Genecity.”


    It did not seem too far-fetched for someone to recognize her, but this statement made Hesper think


    about how she presented herself.


    ‘In order to avoid creating a scene, should I start wearing a mask to ss in the future?”


    Jessie, not noticing Hesper’s strange expression, went on talking about the next topic.


    “Although Dad hasn’t told me this, I know all about the resources that he has in his possession.” Jessie


    bumped Hesper’s shoulder. “Do you know that Duval Group has reserved two participation spots in the


    “Do you want to fight for one of the spots? It’s the Duval Group that we’re talking about. Thepany’s


    name in itself is already an extremely valuable asset!”
