After the call, Ivy turned to look at Avery.


    "Why did your lecturer call you at this time?" Avery had wanted to wait for Ivy to finish her phone call in the dining room, but she was still concerned.


    "It''s fine... It''s that boy whose family runs a factory for canned food. He saw me meeting with Andrew in a cafe and took a photo of us to post on the university forum..." Ivy had not intended to tell Avery about this, but she did not want Avery to contact her lecturer in private.


    "You met with Andrew today?" Avery asked. "Why?"


    "He likes La, but she has been ignoring him. He was kind of upset and wanted someone to talk to," Ivy exined. "I gave him a few words of advice, and he probably won''te looking for La or me from now on."


    "Why did your ssmate post that photo onto the university forum?"


    "He wanted to mislead people into believing that I''m the kind of girl who ys around." Ivy pulled Avery back to the dining room. "The university has already deleted the photos and all the inappropriatements that came with them. The lecturer has adjusted that boy''s schedule, so I won''t see him around anymore."


    Avery nodded. "Has he apologized to you?"


    Ivy unlocked the screen of her phone and showed it to Avery. "He did just now."


    Avery nced at Ivy''s phone and saw the boy''s message that said he would never harass her or speak ill of her behind her back again.


    "Beautiful girls from ordinary families are often targets for men who bear evil intentions," Avery said. "You need to tell me about these kinds of things the next time it happens. You are too young, and you don''t understand that some people know no bound when ites to getting what they want."


    Ivy nodded. "I never ran into things like this when I was ugly."


    "It will happen again, but don''t be afraid. The kind of people I was talking about is the minority. Most people are normal."


    "Yeah! Mom, let''s eat!" Starving, Ivy sat down and started eating.


    Avery did not have much of an appetite.


    Eric had gone to Cambrode and told her about it before he departed. Since La was the one who asked Eric to go to Cambrode, Avery did not say anything about it; she had not called La to ask why she had asked Eric to Cambrode, nor had she mentioned this to Elliot.


    "Ivy, do you know that your sister called Eric and asked him to go to Cambrode?" Avery knew that she could talk to her daughter.RêAdt??St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only


    Ivy shook her head without hesitation. "She didn''t tell me. Why would La do that?"


    Avery shook her head as well. "I don''t know either. She didn''t tell me."


    "Don''t worry, Mom. La probably wants Uncle Eric to see the snow in Cambrode as well." Avery could not help but chuckle.


    "I can ept whatever they do," Avery said, but she was concerned about Elliot''s reaction when he found out about it. "La has been in a bad moodtely, and it might be easier for her to talk to you. Contact her whenever you have the time for it


    "Sure! I will message her after dinner."


    After dinner, Ivy returned to her room and after sending a message to La, she opened the message she received from the boy with sses again to read through his apology before finally deleting his contact.


    The students in the group chat had stopped discussing this incident, and the university forum returned to normal as well.


    Ivy spotted a poll for the


    best-looking people in the university


    and went into it to find photos of certain students and their poll numbers. She went to the section for broadcasting majors and read through thements.


    [Why is the option to select Ivy Foster gone? I was about to vote for her!]


    [Yeah! She''s gone! It was there an hour ago! Did she ask to be taken off the poll?]
