Chapter 49


    Everyone fell silent.


    Suddenly, Lydia came forward. “Why do we girls have to deal with this, Mr. Duggan? None of us wants to


    share a room with her.”


    Even Skr’s heart of steel was increasingly unable to handle the dreaded feeling of being treated like


    an outcast.


    In the meantime, Mr. Duggan was in a bind.


    “Can I have my own room, then?” asked Skr.


    Mr. Duggan gave it a thought. “We don’t have that many rooms. There is, however, an empty slot in the


    men’smercial room. Why don’t you take that?”


    Skr’s face instantly darkened.


    Am I not human? Why am I being treated this way?


    Then, Harry stepped forward. “I’ll share a room with Skr, Mr. Duggan.”


    Everyone stared at Harry, dumbstruck and believing he was taking one for the team.


    Skr was at a loss for what to do.


    Well, in any case, Mr. Duggan will be right next door. Harry can’t do anything unruly to me.


    Thus, she agreed. “I’ll share a room with Harry, then. Lynn can have her own room.”


    With that, Lynn clutched her chest in relief as though she had just evaded a bullet.


    Skr had identally touched her hand a while ago, and thetter couldn’t wait to disinfect herself.


    Skr didn’t have much of a choice. If I don’t share a room with Harry tonight, I won’t have anywhere


    else to sleep.


    After putting her belongings down, she unlocked the room door and felt relieved upon realizing there


    were two separate beds.


    During their buffet dinner, Skr sat alone in a corner. She had only grabbed some shrimp omelet, spicy


    chicken, and a serving of vegetables.


    Meanwhile, all the other students were busy taking selfies andughing their hearts away.


    They would also steal a few obscure nces at Skr from time to time.


    Skr felt destepared to all the liveliness around her.

    Then, Harry came over with his food and sat across Skr. He tried to strike up a conversation with her


    but couldn’t seem to do so for some reason.


    Ultimately, it was Skr who spoke up first. “Thanks for what you did back there. You were kind enough


    to spare me a bed. I wouldn’t havee if I knew this would happen. I didn’t think everyone hated me


    this much.”


    “It’s not that you’ve ever pissed them off or anything. Have you not seen the campus school forums?”


    Harry felt so sorry for her that he couldn’t help but bring this up.


    Indeed, Skr knew nothing. She didn’t even know how the other students knew her or the fact that they


    had been looking at her pictures.


    Pictures of her kissing someone had spread across many chat groups by now.


    Skr shook her head. “What forum? I know nothing about such things. Is there some big news? Well, I


    don’t really care anyway.”


    Ever since she learned that Avery was voted as the “goddess who only appears once every three


    thousand years,” Skr no longer wanted anything to do with the forums. She figured that Avery had


    bought all those votes for herself.


    Avery didn’t look particrly ugly, but she certainly was no national beauty, let alone a once-every-three-


    thousand-years kind of beauty.


    Not daring to get straight to the point, Harry picked up his te and left, but not before advising, “You


    should take a look anyway. There are lots of stories about you.”


    With that, Skr whipped out her phone and opened the school forums. Lo and behold, the very first


    thread was about her.


    Freshman student Skr Jones seduces a married man and works as a sugar baby! Are her morals that


    loose, or is the temptation of money too much for her to handle?


    Skr read every single word on the headline.


    Before even tapping into the thread, she felt her head spin upon noticing it contained thousands of


    comments.


    The young woman had never expected to be the talk of the town in such a way.
