Chapter 218

Roberto's name card lay in Hesper's desk drawer in her office, untouched.

Even though it was rarely given out and Nathaniel tried very hard to get it, Hesper knew that she wasn't good enough to attract Roberto. Nathaniel was the only reason she was able to get the name card.

After realizing that, Hesper no longer wanted to get in contact with Roberto. Even though she liked his work, contacting him that way would only make him think that she wasn't resilient enough and would only rely on her family's influence.

That wasn't how she planned to meet him.

She still appreciated Nathaniel's effort.

Since she turned down the chance to join the competition held by the Duvals and the competition was in full swing, Xavier was annoyed to see Hesper and no one dared to talk to him.

Jessie quietly pulled Hesper aside. "Do you know why my dad is so angry?

Hesper shook her head. It wasn't because she didn't take the chance? From how Jessie asked, it seemed

that there was more to it.

Jessie sighed after seeing how clueless Hesper was. "I know you never cared about this... Do you remember Michelle Sullivan? The one who always fought for first place in class with you before."

Hesper shook her head and looked at Jessie, who was looking tired. She tried to remember who this Michelle' was, but other than focusing on her studies and chasing after Rickard, only Jessie managed to push her way into her world.

She didn't have a lot of memories of anyone else.

Jessie looked at her and knew that she wouldn't recall, so she sighed and shook her head. "Alright, I'll tell you then. Didn't the place that my dad get for you go to waste? She went around telling everyone that my dad was biassed and would rather waste the spot than give it to her."

Hesper didn't know what happened and she understood.

"However, the truth is, she wasn't good enough to even qualify, so even if the spot wasn't for you, it wouldn't be for her either." Jessie pouted. "I heard that she made a name for herself in the past few years. and joined the competition held by the Duval Group and Genecity, so she's shading my father in front of the press."

Hesper frowned when she heard that. "Professor Jenkins is her teacher. How could she do that?"

"Do you think everyone respects their teacher?" Jessie tapped Hesper's nose. "Honestly, it's not easy being an educator. Even though my dad is very angry, he was still nice to you. He never brought this up, did he?"

-Hesper nodded as guilt grew in her heart.

If it wasn't for of her, Xavier wouldn't be dragged into all of this.

As for Michelle Sullivan...

Hesper put her designs into a binder and tried to search for information about Michelle. All that came out was news about her secretly criticizing Xavier, and there were a lot of commenters who were talking badly about him.

"...I've noted this, so don't worry. I won't let people drag Professor Jenkin's name through the mud."

Jessie was alert. "You're not going to ambush her, are you?" Hesper was speechless.
