Chapter 321
Half an hour later, Theresa and Bryan left the office together.
There was still a distant look in Bryan’s eyes.
What Theresa said was truly amazing.
It was normal for young girls like Theresa to work part–time as a model or an actor.
However…
It was hard to believe that the girl who stood in front of him and dressed like a nerd was the sexy and charming star Rose.
Although he had tried his best to accept the fact, he still couldn’t help glancing at Theresa.
He sized her up with a confused look.
“Mr. Jones, could you help me…” Theresa was a little embarrassed.
“Students in our school are encouraged to develop themselves in different ways. You have been doing a legitimate sideline job for the past four months, violating no school regulations. I will report it to the higher–ups. Don’t worry, there won’t be any problem,” Bryan immediately replied.
“Thank you so much, Mr. Jones,” she said gratefully.
Bryan looked at Theresa, who was dressed in dowdy clothes, and thought of Rose on the catwalk, feeling more than puzzled.
“I’m happy to help. Well, you can go now.” Bryan waved his hand.
“Goodbye, Mr. Jones.” Theresa left obediently with a sweet smile.
Bryan couldn’t help but wrinkle his forehead in thought.

Theresa?
‘Rose?
‘These two people are actually the same person!”
He tried hard to accept the truth, but it was truly unbelievable.
Theresa returned to the office in less than an hour.
Those students couldn’t help looking at her curiously.
Theresa didn’t intend to explain anything. Instead, she packed up her things and was ready to leave.
One of the students was so curious that she asked, “Theresa, why did Mr. Jones ask you to talk with him? Did someone report you?”
The others did not speak. It seemed that they were busy with their own affairs, but they had been paying great attention to Theresa and kept glancing over at her.
Theresa raised her eyebrows and replied, “Nothing serious. I’ve been absent for four months. Mr. Jones wanted to know where I’ve been.”
“Did you tell him the truth?” Evan asked subconsciously.
Theresa glanced at him and said indifferently, “Yeah, I told him the truth.”
Evan coughed and said, “Theresa, I’m also curious about it. What have you been doing in the past four
months?”
Theresa narrowed her eyes and replied, “Mr. Jones is our counselor, so I’m supposed to tell him the truth. But it seems that you have no right to ask me that question.”
She directly refused to answer his question. Evan’s face clouded over, and he said, “Theresa, although students in our school are encouraged to enjoy a free life and are allowed to have a part–time job, you should know that the part–time job must be legitimate.”

Theresa stared at Evan and suddenly raised her brows, asking, “You’re the one who reported me, right? For the Direct Entry Ph.D. program!”
Being asked the question so directly. Evan felt his heartbeat quicken. He forced himself to calm down and responded, “I didn’t report you. I just raised an ordinary question. After all, it’s so hard to get the chance to be a Ph.D. in our university. It requires excellent academic performance and a character that matches the academic performance. No matter how good a student’s academic performance is, if the student is ill–behaved, the student shouldn’t be given the chance to be a Ph.D.”
Evan replied to Theresa self–righteously.
Theresa sneered and said, “If that’s the case, you won’t get the chance to be a Ph.D. because you play tricks behind my back. Evan, you failed to pursue me for the Direct Entry Ph.D. program before. Then you reported me in secret, right? I didn’t expect you to be so scheming.”

Evan narrowed his eyes, replying, “Don’t talk nonsense, Theresa! I do like you and want you to be my girlfriend. But I quit because I know that you have a boyfriend. I don’t want to break up your relationship.
“I like you, but I’m also a student of our university. I have the right to question when I find something
unfair.”
Evan spoke very seriously.
The other students looked at him, and several of them echoed.
After all, Theresa would definitely get the chance if nothing happened to her.
Then none of them could be enrolled in the Direct Entry Ph.D. program.
However, if Theresa was disqualified…
It would be possible to get the chance.
Evan was second only to Theresa in terms of grades.
But his grades were almost the same as the others. He was not as outstanding as Theresa.

It was hard to say who would win in the end.
“Yes, Theresa, tell us where you’ve been in the past four months,” the students said one after another.
Theresa looked around the classroom and put on a scornful smile. “You have no right to ask me to explain anything to you.”
After that, she took her bag and left.
The classroom became silent and still.
After a long while, Evan’s voice pierced the silence.
He hesitated and said, “Why does she refuse to answer a simple question? Did she do something shameful in the past four months?”
As soon as he finished speaking, he pretended to be regretful and uttered, “Oh, I shouldn’t have made such a malicious speculation. If Theresa really loses her qualification for the Direct Entry Ph.D. program for that, I will feel so sorry for her.”
The other students listened and didn’t say anything, but their eyes flickered slightly.
Night fell and lights twinkled in the city.
Theresa and Thomas walked hand in hand along the street.
Suddenly, Theresa’s phone began vibrating.
She immediately grabbed it to take a look.
