Janet had Eric’s contact information since the beginning. She only asked Theo to make the phone call to prove that the person on the other end of the line was undoubtedly Eric Lawson himself. As soon as her words rang out, the people outside the principal’s office began exchanging glances among themselves.
“I can’t believe Janet is stubbornly keeping up her pretense. Is Eric Lawson’s name something she can utter with that mouth of hers? That’s so insulting.”
“Knows who she is? Can recognize her voice? Doesn’t she feel embarrassed saying that? She is so shameless!”
“I don’t think we should waste time talking nonsense with her. Mr. Goldstein, hurry up and announce how you plan to deal with her!”
“That’s right! She is just trying to buy time and stubbornly refusing to leave Woodsbury University. She makes me speechless.”
All of a sudden, gossip sprang up everywhere. However, Janet simply sat on the sofa with one leg crossed over her knee. She was turning a deaf ear to their discussions.
Robert turned to look at Theo. Clearing his throat, he said, “Mr. Richardson, can you please contact the Writers Association? If Miss Jackson isn’t Rose, then I will announce my final decision.” If it is proven that Janet is not Rose and that she plagiarized Rose’s works, then I can only contact Young Master Mason to settle this matter himself so that I can remain impartial in this matter.
When Theo heard those words, his expression darkened slightly. Even so, he nodded and took out his phone to dial a number. The phone rang for a short while before the other party answered. He was so overjoyed that even his attitude became respectful. “Hello, is this Mr. Eric Lawson?”
“May I know who this is?” The person on the other end of the phone sounded doubtful.
He smiled. “I am Theo Richardson from the department of literature at Woodsbury University. Do you remember me, Mr. Lawson?”
“Oh. So, it’s Mr. Richardson from Woodsbury University’s department of literature.” It took Eric a moment to realize who Theo was. However, he still didn’t know the reason why Theo contacted him out of the blue.
Theo politely asked, “Do you remember Rose, Mr. Lawson?”
Eric glanced at the Writers Association Meeting that was about to begin and nodded. “Of course. As you know, Sandfort City is hosting the Writers Association Meeting here for the next few days. Since Rose’s ‘Warm Blade II’ is about to be launched officially, I originally wanted to invite her to attend the Writers Association Meeting. Unfortunately, I can’t seem to get her to agree to it. It’s really saddening.” When he didn’t hear a reply from the other party for quite a long while, he suspiciously asked, “Do you know where she is right now, Mr. Richardson?”
Theo glanced at Janet before replying in a deep and steady voice, “Are you unaware that she is studying medicine at Woodsbury University?”
Upon hearing those words, Eric immediately jumped up from his seat. “What?! Rose is studying at Woodsbury University? Moreover, she is studying medicine?! Why didn’t I know about that?!”
Listening to what Eric said confirmed Theo’s initial suspicions. From the way Secretary Lawson is speaking, he doesn’t have a single clue. If Janet is truly Rose, then why is Secretary Lawson unaware that she is studying at Woodsbury University?
Janet watched as Theo hogged the phone; she couldn’t even get a single word in. Thus, she narrowed her eyes and stared at him without saying anything.
A short while later, Theo spoke to the person on the other side of the phone. “Secretary Lawson, I’m afraid I have something urgent to deal with here. I will treat you to a meal on another day.” After saying that, he immediately hung up.
Janet’s pink lips moved slightly. She said in a speechless tone, “Mr. Richardson, you didn’t even let me say a single word. How was Secretary Lawson supposed to recognize me?”
As soon as the words left her mouth, Theo sneered. He pointed at Janet and mockingly said, “Secretary Lawson said it himself; he has no idea that you are studying at Woodsbury University. Moreover, he doesn’t even know that you are studying medicine! If you really were Rose, then why doesn’t he know about it?”
