Love in Twilight novel (Clarissa and Damien) novel Chapter 515

Clarissa went to thank Don in person.

“Thanks so much, Professor Mclaurant! I spent half a year working hard on this,” Clarissa said, filled with emotions.

“Don’t worry, Clarissa. I didn’t read the contents. I saw the title and thought it might be yours. I just don’t know how it ended up in my email,” Don explained.

Clarissa had a vague thought that Caleb probably stole it. Don was Caleb’s mentor, after all.

If Caleb stole her project and gave it to Professor Mclaurant, they could work on it together and complete the research by themselves. They might even receive prize money worth hundreds of thousands or even millions.

The incident led to Clarissa harboring great dislike for Caleb. She didn’t tell anyone about her suspicion, but Don shared her sentiments. He even talked to Caleb about this.

Don shot Caleb a meaningful look. The way he looked at Caleb implied many things.

“Caleb, you have to be a good man before you’re a good learner. Do you know that?” he advised Caleb solemnly.

Caleb instantly understood Professor Mclaurant’s implied meaning. After all, everyone in the school had been spreading rumors about him stealing Clarissa’s project to give it to his mentor.

Some even said that Caleb was trying to embarrass Clarissa as retaliation after she rejected him.

“Do you really think so, Professor Mclaurant?” Caleb demanded. He placed his hands behind his back and kept a straight face the entire time.

“Look. This mustn’t happen again, okay? If it repeats, I’ll speak to your advisor and have a petition to expel you from the school.”

Caleb pressed his lips tightly as his face turned grim. He could see that Clarissa probably thought the same as Don.

He wondered if Chanel was the one behind this, but he didn’t understand Chanel’s reason for doing so. Chanel and Clarissa had no grudge between each other, so why would Chanel do this? That, and Caleb had no evidence to prove that Chanel was the one who stole the project rather than him.

Caleb didn’t blindly accuse Chanel, but as a result, he had to bear the school’s accusation alone. When he couldn’t take the unjust criticism any longer, he signed up for the school’s military service.

He was once a brilliant and innocent student. He was good at studies, art, basketball, and everything else. However, he was burdened by false accusations for no reason. He couldn’t defend himself, and he didn’t bother to correct their misunderstandings, either. With everyone picking on him, he felt abandoned by the world.

His mentor and his beloved woman’s misunderstanding of him was torturous to him.
