Chapter 320
Henri wasn’t a fool.
He decided not to entangle himself further with the Love in Bitter Winter production team.
It brought him no benefits.
His target was, and always had been, Rose alone.
After the three–minute video was released, he couldn’t discredit her acting anymore.
But that didn’t mean he couldn’t find other ways to attack her.
Henri covertly had people gather information on Rose.
Rose seemed to have appeared out of nowhere in the modeling world. Her life before entering the industry, her family background, everything was a mystery.
Even her real name hadn’t been exposed.
The strangest thing was.
Despite Rose’s growing fame, there were no candid shots of her outside of work.
It was as if she vanished from the public eye once her work was done.
Rose was trying so hard to hide her real identity. Henri concluded that Rose’s real identity might be a
little shameful.
Was her family an embarrassment?
Or was there something in her past she couldn’t reveal?
Henri spent a hefty sum to question those who had worked with Rose.

From their responses, he pieced together a shocking conclusion.
First.
Rose’s family might have a criminal history.
Why did he say that?
According to an insider, he had once heard Rose answer a phone call.
Rose sounded helpless. “Dad, please handle Mom. She’s been arrested again? How long will she be out this time? I can’t live like this if she keeps doing this.”
It seemed Rose’s mother was a repeat offender, likely getting detained by the police regularly.
No wonder Rose kept her background a secret.
Second.
Rose’s educational background was very low.
The evidence was as follows.
It was an insider who said.
Once, they talked about academic qualifications together. Everyone talked about some academic experience, but Rose only smiled awkwardly.
They asked her if she knew about Anaville University
Rose’s face showed a very embarrassed smile.
It was suspected that she didn’t know this top domestic university at all.
Combining these pieces of information, Henri found a new way to smear Rose.
He chuckled coldly to himself.

Chapter 320
Rose, you think I can’t touch you just because your acting is untouchable?
This time, he would let her know what it meant to be afraid of gossip.
No matter how good your acting was, if your reputation was ruined, you can’t turn things around.
Henri carefully orchestrated a smear campaign using a myriad of fake accounts to spread the fabricated information.
He didn’t just focus on the claims about Rose’s mother being a habitual offender and Rose’s low. education. Henri added rumors about Rose sleeping her way to the top and associating with several influential figures.
In the world of defamation, a mix of truth and lies was typical.
Once this kind of news was released, even if it was fake, the person involved could not easily prove it.
Especially since Rose was a newcomer with little fan support, these rumors spread unchecked, with no one to clarify on her behalf. On the other hand, Henri had hired numerous experienced internet trolls.
He was confident this time Rose wouldn’t escape unscathed.
On this day.
It was the day for Anaville University to publish results.
“Theresa, you’re top of the class again,” a classmate said as Theresa walked in. “First in written exams and the only one with an A+ on the final paper. You’re unmatched.”
Theresa was peerless in her academic performance, and despite any jealousy from others, no one could challenge her standing.
Evan also knew about Theresa’s grades and his eyes flickered.
Indeed.
Theresa was still doing well.

If he didn’t act, the Direct Entry Ph. D. program admission would surely go to Theresa.
Every man for himself, and the heavens and the earth for him. Therefore, he could not be blamed for secretly using means.
Theresa, anticipating her own results, merely smiled at her classmates‘ admiration, feeling no particular excitement.
Having collected her results and with nothing else to attend to.
Theresa was ready to leave.
“Theresa, wait a minute.” At this moment, Bryan came in.
Theresa stopped in her tracks. Bryan looked at Theresa in confusion.
Bryan smiled at her, the attitude seemingly friendly. “Theresa, there’s been an anonymous report against you. There are some matters you might need to explain.”
“A report?” Theresa was momentarily baffled.
‘What could I possibly have done to warrant a report?” she thought
Evan’s gaze flickered slightly, and he lowered his head a bit.
The classroom buzzed with whispers and speculation.
Theresa was being reported?
What for?
As a well–known student in the Zathinese Department, Theresa’s sudden report piqued everyone’s
curiosity.
But with Theresa taken to the office by Bryan, they were left to guess the reasons.
