Chapter 1770


    Leah''s rtionship had failed and she was at a low point in her life. However, her results spoke


    otherwise. Contrary to her expectations, she had received the best results in ss and even


    received a first-ss schrship.


    Leah had all of the legal provisions memorized by heart. It was as if she had been born with the


    knowledge ingrained into her system.


    She could recite each and everyw in the book one by one.


    However, she no longer went out, nor did she care about her book''s ending.


    During the winter break, she received a phone call from Victoria, "Hey Reaper, I got someone to


    revise the ending for you. They wrote an additional 20000 words for the ending!"


    "Really? That''s so many words! Is that thepleted ending?" Leah asked.


    "Not yet. They told me that they could write even more," Victoria told her.


    Leah was secretly in shock and muttered, "They must really like the story. I presume that they want


    to write a different ending?" "Aren''t you curious about how they wrote the ending?" Victoria asked


    Leah coyly.


    Leah smiled and replied, "Since you''ve called to inform me about it, I assume the person is a top


    tier writer, am I right? If they''re that good, I''m sure that the ending they wrote for my book is pretty


    impressive."


    "You caught on quickly!" Victoriaughed, "Oh, Reaper, you have some really loyal fans, do you


    know that? The writer who wrote the ending for you told me that they wanted to give you all the


    credit!"


    "They want to give me credit for their work?" Leah was a little surprised.


    And here she thought that people who wrote books would only do it so that they could earn money.


    Leah couldn''t help herself from feeling surprised when she found out that the writer who wrote the


    alternative ending for her book did not want any money for it.


    "That''s rather strange. Is the person not short of money?" Leah asked.


    "The person said that they''re your biggest fan. They started reading your book from the very


    beginning, so they feel deeply attached to it. They didn''t want the couple in the book to have such a


    bad ending, so they volunteered to rewrite the ending for you. They insist on giving you all the


    credit."


    "I don''t want it. I haven''t earned any credit since I wasn''t the one who wrote the alternative ending.


    The writer should be the one to reap the benefits of their ownbour. You should tell them that.


    Speaking of which, I''d like to check out their writing. Have you published it?" Leah asked.


    "I''m calling to ask for your opinion on it, actually. I''ll put it up once you give me the green light,"


    Victoria admitted coolly, "To be honest, I think the writer''s a man."


    "A man?" Leah eximed in surprise, "How is that possible? How can a man imitate another


    woman''s writing style so well? Surely there has to be some discrepancy."


    "Exactly! That''s how I could tell. If it was written by a woman, I wouldn''t have called you in such a


    rush."


    Leah was truly surprised. She thought that this fan of hers was a little odd. He had written


    something that managed to catch Victoria''s eye. Hence, the man''s writing must be really


    impressive.


    "I don''t really care if the writer''s a man or a woman. As long as you think it''s good, you should just


    publish it," Leah didn''t really care about the book anymore.


    In fact, she had already given up on it. She did not care who would resume the book and how the


    story had unfolded.


    All Leah wanted to do was get herwyer''s certificate and get a well-paying job in awyer firm. She


    wanted to be a strong, independent working woman. At the same time, she had other ns to


    further her studies as a graduate student as well. Her dream was to either be a really


    sessfulwyer, or a professor at a universityter on.


    Those were her future ns.


    For that to happen, she had to work on her studies first.


    When Victoria noticed that Leah did not sound excited, she sighed, "Alright then, I''ll send you the


    draft. Take a look at the first few words. Get back to me after that, alright?"


    "Alright, sure thing," Leah mumbled.


    After Victoria hung up the phone, she sent the draft to Leah.


    Just as Leah was about to click on the document, she received a call. When she saw that it was


    from an unknown number, she did not think much of it and answered it without a second thought.


    Hogan''s voice was instantly heard, "Leah, I''m downstairs. I really want to see you. Can youe


    down to meet me?"


    Since the security system had been upgraded, Hogan could not enter the building at all.


    "Hogan?" Leah asked in shock. She did not think that Hogan would call her using another number


    after she blocked his previous number.


    Hogan''s persistence troubled her to no end, but she had no idea how to deal with a person like him.


    She truly admired Hogan''s spirit and sighed, "Why are you still being so persistent? I''m honestly


    really busy at the moment. There is no need for us to meet again. I don''t have anything to say to


    you."


    "Leah, why don''t you want to meet up with me? Are you worried that you''ll end up falling back in


    love with me?" Hogan smirked.


    "Since when have I ever liked you?" Leah asked in confusion.


    "I''m pretty sure you had a crush on me before," Hogan was still as smug as ever.


    Leah didn''t know how to react to him. In fact, she felt embarrassed for him and groaned, "You''ve


    overestimated yourself. Any interest I''ve had in you has long dissipated. Hogan, you''ve got to stop


    wasting your breath trying to woo me. Why are you still trying so hard?"


    To avoid Hogan, she rarely went out anymore.


    "Leah, I told you a long time ago, didn''t I? Ernest will never truly love you. How could someone with


    his background fall for you? You''re an ordinaryss. How could you possibly think that the two of


    you would end up together? You and I are more suited for each other."


    "He is the young master of a rich family. He was just ying with your feelings. Don''t you know


    that?"


    Leah merely smiled and replied, "You''re right. Ernest and I are not suited for each other. Even


    though I was yed by Ernest, I had consented to it wholeheartedly. However, if you want to do the


    same to me, you can forget it."


    "You got yed by him?" Hogan wasn''t stupid. He immediately understood the hidden meaning


    behind Leah''s words.


    Leah replied coldly, "Are you done talking? If you''re finished, I''ll hang up the phone now."


    "Hold on, I''m not done," Hogan snickered and continued, "Aren''t you embarrassed? You''ve been


    yed by a young master from a rich family and broke up. He doesn''t want you anymore, yet you''re


    still acting all arrogant! I think you''re just lusting after him."


    Leah did not react to his mockery at all. She replied indifferently, "That''s none of your business."


    "Leah, juste down for a moment. Let''s have a nice chat. I promise that I won''t do anything to


    you. We can just talk."


    "There''s nothing I want to talk about with you," Leah refused adamantly.


    "Leah, if youe see me, I''ll look for you at your college tomorrow morning. Summer break is


    coming soon anyway, so I can still see you. You don''t want me to appear on the stage while you''re


    being presented with your schrship award, do you?" Hogan said in a devious tone.


    "You''re just threatening me at this point," Leah rolled her eyes, "Hogan, I''m not one to take things


    lying down. I''m not the type to be threatened to do things I don''t want to so easily. You can just go


    ahead and try. If you think the university will let you cause a ruckus without any consequences, be


    my guest. In any case, I don''t really care."


    After that, Leah hung up the phone without waiting for Hogan to say anything.


    Then, she got up and walked to the window to nce downstairs.


    She could see Hogan standing in the vacant space downstairs, looking up in her general direction.

    Suddenly, two men could be seen walking over to Hogan. They said something to him, but Leah


    was too far away to hear what was being said.


    Leah could vaguely hear them mention Hogan by name, but other than that, she had no idea what


    they were talking about. Eventually, the two left with Hogan in tow.


    Leah looked at the three retreating figures in confusion. She thought that it was really strange.


    When she walked back into her room, her eyesnded on the little tortoise in the tank.


    The room was warm, and the tortoise was swimming about freely in the tank.


    "Little one, who do you think took Hogan away? They look pretty buff to me," Leah reached out and


    poked the tortoise''s shell. Then, she shook her head andughed to herself before resuming her


    studies.


    Two hourster, Victoria called her back and asked, "Reaper, have you read it?"


    "What are you talking about?" Leah asked in confusion. A momentter, she suddenly recalled that


    she had not managed to read the draft that was sent to her yet. She pped her own forehead in


    exasperation and apologized, "Sorry, I forgot."


    Victoria scoffed, "I''ve been waiting for you to read it this whole time! How can you bear to ignore me


    like this?"


    "Sorry, some stuff came up," Leah apologized profusely, "I''ll read it right now."
