Chapter 343 Not That Simple
Yunice couldn’t care less about him.
+8 Pearls
Owen had planned to chase after her, but when his eyes swept over the book on the table, curiosity got the better of him–he wanted to see what Yunice had written.
So he walked over and reached out to grab it-
But Elsie was faster. She snatched up the open book before he could touch it.
She had never even looked at this book. It was a used workbook she’d bought online, one that someone else had already filled
out.
On one of the problems already completed by someone else, Yunice had circled a few things.
Elsie might be a grad student now, but her heart had never really been in her studies. She couldn’t figure out what the parts Yunice had highlighted were supposed to mean.
Did that mean the question was wrong and Yunice had caught it?
Impossible. This was a graduate–level problem.
Owen reached for the book, but Elsie didn’t want him to see it–she was afraid he’d notice something and ask her about it, and she wouldn’t have an answer.
But if she yanked it back, that would seem way too suspicious.
She could only look at Owen with a guilty expression on her face.
Owen took the book from Elsie and studied the problem, his brows furrowed deeply.
The longer he said nothing, the more Elsie felt like she couldn’t breathe.
She’d bought that workbook randomly. Who knew what kind of student had done the problems? If it turned out to be total garbage and Owen figured it out, the whole good–student image she’d worked so hard to build would collapse.
Owen stayed silent for a full minute. Just as Elsie was panicking, he rolled the workbook up and said, “I’m taking this home to look at.”
Elsie was speechless.
Lily had been sitting silently to the side the whole time, twisting two fingers together like something was weighing on her mind.
Owen noticed and was just about to ask about the SAT situation when Lily suddenly jerked her head toward the door like a spooked animal.
Yunice hadn’t closed the door when she left.
Owen followed Lily’s line of sight–and just in time, caught a flash of light.
It was a fill light used with professional cameras!
Someone was secretly taking pictures outside!
“Stop right there!” Owen charged after them!
A man dressed like a paparazzo, wearing a baseball cap and completely bundled up, took off running the second he was spotted.
The guy was clearly a pro. He slipped away easily in just a few seconds.
They throw mud at me–once it dries, I’ll smash them with it.
Keep dreaming.
