Chapter 64

Yvette’s indifferent gaze fell upon the triumphant Nora. As expected of Yasmin’s best friend, her talent for acting like a damsel in distress mirrored Yasmin’s perfectly.

“What’s all the commotion about? What’s going on here?”

At that moment, Zachary strode into the lecture hall. As soon as everyone realized who he was, they immediately fell silent.

Nora immediately ceased her sobbing performance as soon as she saw Zachary. It was well–known throughout Jubilife University that Zachary was stringent, and tears wouldn’t have any effect on him.

“It’s no big deal, Mr. Walker!” Nora said with a sly grin as she quickly started to badmouth Yvette to Zachary. “You see, this new student showed up half an hour late on her first day, which ended up disrupting Professor Lawrence’s lecture.

“And since Professor Lawrence was somewhat upset by it, I tried to talk to her about it as the class rep, but she didn’t seem to take it well.”

Given Zachary’s strict nature, he would surely feel a deep aversion toward Yvette after hearing this account,

While Nora was smugly picturing Yvette being severely reprimanded by Zachary, she noticed him looking at Yvette with a warm and amiable expression.

His tone was overflowing with undisguised admiration as he said, “Oh, I came here specifically to inform Professor Lawrence that Yvette was late because she was doing a big favor for the Esports Department.

“We had some visitors from another university that came over to pick a fight, and if it weren’t for Yvette, Jubilife University would have been utterly humiliated!”

As it turned out, that was the reason why she was late. They had all misunderstood her.

When they recalled their previous accusations, everyone’s faces were filled with shame, and they all hung their heads low in embarrassment.

Nora’s grin immediately disappeared. How could this be?

A warm smile spread across Zachary’s face as he looked at Yvette. “I’d like to have a quick chat with me for a second?”

With you fo

it possible for you to step outside

Yvette could easily guess his intentions. Zachary was clearly trying to recruit her into the Esports Department. Nevertheless, out of respect, Yvette agreed and followed him out of the lecture hall.

“Please reconsider my previous offer, Yvette! We need someone like you in the Esports Department! It would be a shame to see your talent go to waste. If you join us, I’ll accept any conditions you set forth.”

Yvette replied with a hint of helplessness, “Thank you for the kind offer, Mr. Walker. But I’ve made up my mind to stay with my current major.”

She had previously stepped away from the Esports community for a simple reason–she was simply too good at it. With no worthy opponents, she became bored and chose to retire.

As there was still no one in the Esports community who could match her, the chances of her returning were even slimmer.

“Please take some time to think it through, Yvette. After all, I’m in no rush for an answer. Please don’t turn down my offer so hastily!”

As she watched the scene outside the lecture hall, Nora seethed with anger.

Zachary was known for his strict nature, and it was unusual to see a smile grace his face. Yet, in Yvette’s presence, he could smile so effortlessly.

“Maybe Yvette isn’t as terrible as we assumed.”

“Right? Getting a compliment from Zachary is like replaceing a needle in a haystack!”

When she heard their mutterings, Nora’s expression immediately soured.

She had given Yasmin her word that she would ensure Yvette wouldn’t remain in the Medicine Department. If everyone around them started receiving Yvette favorably, she would have no chance to harass that country bumpkin in the future!

After glancing around the lecture hall, Nora spoke as if it was for their own good. “You shouldn’t forget that she’s someone who cheated her way into our department. She’s only going to drag our entire department down!

“And look, she even broke my finger. If you guys forgive her now, it’ll only fuel her arrogance, and she’ll definitely make our class a living hell!
