Chapter 295 Let’s Discuss the Invitation Later
Even if Fanny attempted to call her family, her attempts would be futile. The defamation on the forum was orchestrated by Jonathan, and he had made it clear that he wouldn’t forgive her. The individual involved was definitely going to be detained.
“It’s easy for you to say. It’s not like you’re the one being detained.” Fanny was on the verge of tears, and her voice was meek as she expressed her grievances. “I don’t engage in defaming others, so why would I be detained? You’re being unreasonable. Just stay put and stop. insisting on making phone calls. Even if you manage to get through, he can’t bail you out. Whether you’re detained for a day or longer, it’s up to him.” With that said, the police officer silenced his phone and walked away.
Upon hearing this, Fanny was so angry that her eyes and nose turned red. “It’s all that Angela’s fault!” she cursed through gritted teeth.
Meanwhile, Angela, who wasn’t aware of Fanny’s curses, had already returned home safely. Jonathan had not returned home yet. She took out the book Terence had given her and carefully took notes while reading it. Angela was lost in concentration when she suddenly received a call from Terence.
“Professor Terence, what’s up?” Angela wondered why Terence would suddenly contact her. She assumed that something must have happened. “I heard about the incident on the forum. I’ve been busy the past few days and didn’t notice it. Today, an apology was posted on the forum, and I saw it. You’ve been wronged.” Terence’s voice carried a sense of helplessness and guilt.
He had high hopes for Angela as a student, so he also hoped that she would succeed. However, he hadn’t expected that someone would dare to spread rumors about her. Furthermore, from the content of the apology letter, it can be seen that Winter instigated the person who slandered Angela.
Winter, whom he had also met a few times, was not a particularly impressive student. She was, however, considered a relatively good student in the college. He hadn’t expected that Winter wouldn’t be able to tolerate someone being better than her.
“It’s okay, Professor Terence. I’m not bothered as long as you don’t get dragged into it. Those rumors can’t hurt me either.” Angela felt a sense of warmth in her heart when she heard the concern in her professor’s voice. However, she also sensed some self–blame in Terence’s words, so she quickly reassured him.
When Terence noticed how Angela was comforting him instead, he felt even more indignant on her behalf. He finally had a promising student, and he couldn’t let her be bullied! “Don’t worry. The school will definitely give you an answer to this matter. The police have already

punished the two who apologized, and the school will investigate to know whether Winter is involved in this matter.”
After speaking, Terence made a promise to Angela. “If she really instructed others to do this, then her spot will be forfeited.”
Angela didn’t expect the school to investigate this matter vigorously and even look into Winter. “Okay, Professor Terence. I understand. If there is anything I need to cooperate with, please let me know directly,” Angela replied after thinking about the situation for a moment. She had been troubled by other unpleasant things in her life recently, so she didn’t find the school’s matter particularly distressing.
But if there could be a better outcome, she would naturally be pleased. After discussing the second exam with Terence for a while, Angela hung up the phone. Jonathan also returned home around then. As soon as he entered, he went to Angela and gave her a hug. Angela felt nearly suffocated by his tight embrace, but she quickly reached out to hug Jonathan back.
“What’s wrong, Jonathan?” She asked, leaning against Jonathan, worried that he had encountered something bad too. “I miss you,” Jonathan said as he lifted her into his arms bridal–style.
The invitation was for Cassandra’s birthday celebration. “Whose birthday is it?” Jonathan had a suspect in mind, but with the influx of visitors lately, he couldn’t pinpoint which family had sent the invitation.
“It’s for the Hayes Family’s daughter,” Angela replied, her hand trembling as the invitation slipped from her grasp and fluttered to the floor. She was shocked upon seeing Cassandra’s name. “We won’t go if you don’t wish to attend this.” Jonathan reassured her as he disregarded the invitation and pulled her close.
