Chapter 181 A Smarter Way
Ainsley froze. She looked at Gwendolyn.
“It’s you?” She looked at Gwendolyn in disbelief. Even though she didn’t want to believe it,
she had to.
Gwendolyn glared at her and sneered, “Eric has only known you for a few days, but he could help you at the risk of missing the thesis defense. I underestimated you.”
Ainsley gave a self-deprecating smile. “I’m quite foolish. When I heard about your accident, I came to help you without any hesitation. But now, why do you blame me, Gwen? Because he said a few more words to me?”
Gwendolyn sneered, “A few words? You know I like him, but you still talk with him in front
of me. I hate you!”
“We only discussed the thesis. Nothing else!” Ainsley frowned.
“Do you think I’m st**id? You talked and laughed. I saw it! Don’t lie to me!”
“You can ask him if you don’t believe me. It’s not just because of him, right?” Ainsley
looked straight into her eyes.
Gwendolyn was not afraid of her eyes at all, and she shouted, “You did a good job on your paper, and everyone praised you. But I was the last one. Of course, Eric will only
choose you.”
“Are you crazy?!” Ainsley didn’t want to talk to her anymore. “I will tell the thing that you
locked me up to the organizer. You will pay for what you did wrong.”
She turned to leave, but Gwendolyn stopped her. “Stop!”
“Didn’t you think about that before you locked me up?” Ainsley said coldly.
“It’s all your fault. You h**ed up with Eric. I just taught you a lesson.” Gwendolyn quibbled with a pale face.
Ainsley didn’t want to listen to what she said. She pushed Gwendolyn away and was about to leave.
Seeing this, Gwendolyn began to panic. Even though she failed to get the prize, she
made it to the final. If Ainsley reported that, her grades would be revoked, and she would become a laughingstock.
“No! I can’t let that happen!” Gwendolyn thought.
“You can’t do this! Stop!” Gwendolyn chased after Ainsley.
But Ainsley had already walked to the person in charge. When Gwendolyn arrived, to her surprise, Eric walked over with the man.
She heard Eric tell report the thing that Ainsley had been locked in.
Gwendolyn was stunned. Her face was filled with despair. The person in charge had
already walked over.
“Ms. Easton, Eric told me that you were locked up before your thesis defense. Is it true?”
Ainsley nodded, “Yes.”
“We have to investigate this matter, and we will call the police if necessary. Ms. Easton,
come with me.” The man looked serious.
Gwendolyn took a step back. She noticed that Eric’s eyes had changed. “Why are your
looking at me like that?”
“Ms. Salter, you did it,” Eric said calmly.
His calm tone made Gwendolyn feel even more pain. She shook her head and denied,
“It’s not me! It’s not me!”
“Whoever did it, it will be found out.” Eric looked away and left.
Gwendolyn stared at the direction Ainsley left, and forced herself to calm down.
She had to keep calm. The more flustered, the more she would be doomed.
She wanted to go back, but the result of her thesis defense had not come out yet. If she left, it would only arouse suspicion.
But she didn’t know whether Ainsley would say it or not. No, she would definitely say it.
Gwendolyn went back to the hotel in a panic and stayed in her room for a long time. At
last, she couldn’t help looking for Ainsley.
The two had met many times, but it was the first time that she was so embarrassed.
She didn’t know what to say. Ainsley broke the silence first. “What do you want to say?”
