Chapter 1178 Someone Had Framed Mrs. Huo


    Unfortunately, while Erica still couldn''t find the original photos in her camera album, Kaitlyn had already


    asked Professor Feng to connect her camera to the big screen.


    After a thoroughparison between Kaitlyn''s original pictures with the retouched ones on the screen,


    everyone was convinced that she wasn''t lying. The photo chosen for one of the ten most outstanding


    pieces of work in photography undoubtedly belonged to Kaitlyn.


    There was another reason why Kaitlyn was able to copy Erica''s photos. When Erica took pictures of


    Hyatt, she kept his face out of focus as he felt shy most of the time, showing hardly even the side of his


    face.


    Erica was scrambling to analyze the facts in her mind. Eventually she came to the conclusion that


    Kaitlyn must have copied her original photographs, then recreated them with her boyfriend.


    Kaitlyn had it all nned out. She knew that she couldn''t simply im ownership over Erica''s photos


    because even if Hyatt and Kaitlyn''s boyfriend shared simr facial features, they weren''t identical.


    Also, since Erica had edited and retouched the pictures before she handed them in, the end result


    looked far different from the original ones. From the looks of it, these factors made it easier for Kaitlyn


    to put her own signature under Erica''s work.


    Professor Feng looked at Erica and asked, "Kaitlyn Dong has shown her evidence. So where are your


    original pictures?"


    Erica answered honestly, "Someone has deleted my pictures!"


    She racked her brains but couldn''t figure out who had touched her camera besides Hyatt.


    Of course, Hyatt couldn''t be the one who had set her up, as he was now sitting next to her, looking


    more anxious than anyone in the room. He might have been a little simple, but he wouldn''t conspire


    with others to frame her.


    There were, however, other potential suspects. Erica had sent the photos to the monitor first, who had


    sent them to Professor Feng. Could it be the professor, or could it be the monitor who had been holding


    a candle to the devil?


    All of a sudden, it urred to Erica that Kaitlyn''s boyfriend was none other than Luther Guo, their ss


    monitor.


    Erica was now, without a shred of a doubt, certain that Luther Guo and Kaitlyn were in cahoots


    together.


    Burning red with anger, Professor Feng threw the remote control on the desk. His eyes looked like they


    would pop out of their sockets. "Let''s move on and continue with our ss. You two sit down first!"


    Judging by the way the professor looked at Erica, it was clear that she was the culprit in his mind.


    However, Erica stood her ground. She might have not been the smartest student in the ss, but sure


    enough, she wasn''t stupid enough to let another person frame her like this.


    She was certain of one thing—Luther Guo would never testify against Kaitlyn and even if Hyatt were to


    tell everyone that the model in the photos was him, there was no guarantee that everyone would


    believe him.


    Therefore, the only person Erica could rely on was herself.


    But what could she do?


    She fidgeted desperately and asked to be excused from the ss. "Professor, I need to get myptop.


    The Photoshop on myptop should have the records of my editing." Finally, a chance to prove her


    innocence!


    Professor Feng didn''t even try to stop her as she exited the ssroom, bolting out like lightning.


    Erica''sptop was still in the vi.


    In order to save time, she called the driver and asked him to bring her theptop over as soon as


    possible.


    Meanwhile, Matthew, who was in M Country, just finished a meeting. As soon as he stepped out of the


    conference room, Owen rushed over to him. "Sir, Mrs. Huo seems to be in some kind of trouble at


    school."


    "Tell me what happened!"


    Owen''s younger brother who was also studying photography in the same department as Erica


    witnessed the whole incident in that ssroom. "My younger brother said that someone had framed


    Mrs. Huo. She''s been used of handing in a superstar''s business photos as her coursework. And


    Mrs. Huo imed that another ssmate had giarized her own work, but she had no proof."


    Matthew stopped and looked back at Owen with an unresolved look in his eyes. "Erica submitted a


    superstar''s photos without his consent?"


    Owen nodded. "Yes, that''s what she has been used of."


    Matthew continued to walk forward. "What is Mrs. Huo doing now?"


    "Apparently she ran out of the ssroom saying that she needed to get herptop."


    "I see."


    Could Erica really do such a thing? Matthew wanted to burst outughing, but he kept hisposure.


    Erica was a nuisance; a troublemaker among many other things, but she was also a good person at


    heart. She would never do such a thing!


    The person framing Erica must have had everything nned down to the tiniest details. As such,


    Matthew feared that even if she had herptop, Erica might still fail to prove her innocence.


    Matthew decided to wait until Erica came to him for help.


    Before long, the driver brought Erica''sptop to the school. The moment Erica got herptop, she


    wasted no time and ran to the ssroom.


    She walked past all the harsh gaze her ssmates threw at her and returned to her seat. When she


    passed by Kaitlyn''s row of seats, she squinted her eyes at her nemesis angrily. ''Just wait, Kaitlyn Dong.


    I''ll make you regret for doing this to me!''


    Professor Feng continued his lecture, disregarding what Erica was doing.


    As soon as Erica sat down, she turned on herptop and opened the Photoshop.


    However... Erica''s mind went nk in an instant, because there was no trace of the original pictures in


    herputer; not in the Photoshop or the Recycle Bin.


    ''What the hell?''


    She stared at theputer screen with an incredulous look in her eyes as she couldn''t believe what


    she was seeing.


    Her face turned pale and she waspletely dumbfounded.


    The look on Erica''s face made Hyatt feel even more anxious. He tugged at Erica''s sleeve and


    whispered, "What''s wrong, Erica?"


    His voice brought Erica back to her senses, who looked back at Kaitlyn with resentment, wishing to


    smash herptop on that vicious girl''s face.


    Erica took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. There had to be a better solution!


    The moment she thought of Matthew, Erica took her phone out to ask for help, but when she


    remembered what he didst night, she put her phone back inside her pocket. She was still giving


    Matthew the silent treatment because he threw away her macarons.


    Thinking of her pride, Erica decided to rely on other sources first before running to Matthew for help.


    ''Yes! That''s it.''


    So while Matthew calmly sat in the office and waited for Erica''s call, the girl was in the ssroom,


    racking her brains to find out who else she could turn to for help except Matthew.


    It only took three minutes for Erica to think of someone else who could help her!


    Her brother-inw—Evelyn''s husband! Erica was so d to have thought of him, she almost burst into


    tears.


    A long time ago, Terilynn identally told her that Sheffield was actually a very talented hacker.


    Erica wasn''t able to think of Sheffield because Terilynn had made her promise not to tell anyone about


    his hacking skills.

    Clutching theptop to her chest, Erica ran out of the ssroom again, without word or warning.


    Before leaving, however, she looked at Kaitlyn and said, "Just wait! I''ll make sure everyone sees your


    real face before the end of the ss!"


    The smile on Kaitlyn''s face froze. Erica seemed quite confident; it seemed as though she had found a


    solution.


    After Erica left the ssroom, Kaitlyn took out her phone and sent a message to her cousin. "It looks


    like Erica has found a solution. What should I do?"


    Two minutester, her cousin replied, "If you really think that she has the evidence to prove it, you have


    to apologize to her as soon as possible. She is a person who can be persuaded by reason but not be


    cowed by force. Remember to say that you only did it because you weren''t as good a photographer as


    she was..."


    Kaitlyn disagreed. "How will I ever show my face in front of Erica if I apologize to her?"


    "Listen to me. I''ll take you shopping tomorrow. I''ll buy you whatever you want."


    "All right!" Kaitlyn reluctantly agreed.


    Erica found a quiet ce and dialed Evelyn''s number, slowly putting down theptop from her hand.


    "Hey, it''s me, Erica!"
