Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted (Stella and Keegan) novel Chapter 1988

Chapter 1988

Lost in nostalgia, Spencer continued, "To pique her interest, I started asking her about class lessons, feigning academic concern. At first, she was puzzled.

I've got my eyes on a figurine worth over six grand. I needed to score as high as I could.

"Her reaction was immediate. She became my earnest tutor, lending me notes and patiently explaining concepts. She stood out during our second year when the curriculum intensified, and everyone became protective of their study time. She sacrificed her time for me, meticulously breaking down each topic and asking if I understood.

"I had heard numerous rumors about her from the boys' dormitory. They said her family was well-off.

Her parents did charity work and adopted a girl from an orphanage. But they were only using the girl for publicity, and they actually treated her poorly. She was said to mistreat the girl, feed her food she was allergic to, and make her wear her old, tattered clothes. So, many of our classmates isolated her, thinking she had a bad character.

"I never bought it. She was a stranger to me, yet she was willing to sacrifice her own study time and share her hard work. How could someone so selflessly sharing her knowledge be that person in the rumors? Rumors start easily but are hard to dispel. People love to paint a picture that fits their narrative, often overlooking the truth.
