“If you don’t believe me, you can compare it with the signed copy of ‘Warm Blade’ to see if it is genuine or not.” Janet took several steps back and lazily slumped down on the sofa. She quite liked seeing their ignorant expressions. Is it so hard to admit that I am Rose?
Madelaine’s tone was aggressive, contemptuous, and mocking. “Who knows if you secretly practiced how to imitate Rose’s handwriting just to impersonate her?” Janet is a b*tch who would do anything to obtain her goals!
“Huh? Why does she need to imitate Rose’s handwriting?” At that moment, a deep and calm male voice rang out.
Everybody subconsciously turned back to look in the direction of the voice. They were greeted by the sight of a man wearing a black trench coat and a pair of glasses. He made his way through the crowd and stopped at the door of the office. When everybody saw the middle-aged man wearing a trench coat paired with glasses, they couldn’t help feeling startled. Their ruddy complexions immediately turned pale.
Robert and Theo stood up at the same time. Their eyes were slightly widened in shock, and their bodies stiffened. “S-Secretary Lawson.” Isn’t the Tenth Writers Association Meeting about to begin?! Why did he appear at Woodsbury University? Did he come here because of Mr. Richardson’s phone call just now? Is he here to expose Janet’s true colors?
For a while, everybody was overwhelmed by their shock and suspicions. Eric remained silent as he walked into the principal’s office.
When Madelaine saw Eric’s stern expression, she knew that Janet was in trouble. Tsk. Tsk. Tsk. That’s what happens when you impersonate Rose! Look; even a committee member of the Writers Association has come knocking on your door! Looks like she won’t be able to continue studying at Woodsbury University. Since she dared to impersonate Rose, she will surely be condemned to death by Rose’s fans.
Hazel’s clenched fists gradually relaxed with Eric’s arrival. Janet; oh, Janet. I didn’t want to make this into such a huge deal. But now, even Secretary Lawson of the Writers Association is here. You did this to yourself, Janet! She secretly laughed in her heart. Exchanging a glance with Madelaine, a triumphant smile appeared on her face.
When Theo saw his senior standing before him, he hurriedly went forward and respectfully greeted him. “Mr. Lawson, why are you here?”
Eric was just about to speak when Janet stood up. In a wicked yet nonchalant manner, she said, “You’ve gotten more handsome, Old Man Lawson.”
Everybody was instantly taken aback by those words. Janet knows Eric?! Moreover, she called him ‘Old Man Lawson’?! Is there a mistake?! Putting aside the question of whether Eric is old or not, isn’t that manner of addressing him rather affectionate?! It’s as if she is talking to an older family member!
“I’m not old!” Eric sounded recalcitrant. He obstinately raised his eyes and stared at Janet defiantly.
Janet curled her lips and raised an eyebrow at him without speaking.
That action of hers left everybody frozen in place—nobody knew what to say in response. Secretary Lawson, who is normally stern and serious at all times, actually joked around with Janet?!
Madelaine and Hazel exchanged a glance, their eyes revealing a sense of incredulity and disbelief.
Eric’s gaze landed on Theo. He smilingly said, “Mr. Richardson, didn’t you tell me Rose is here? Why else would I come here?”
Janet smiled. I know what that sly old fox is planning. I’m sure he wants me to run for the chairman position of the Tenth Writers Association Meeting.
As soon as the words left Eric’s mouth, the crowd exploded in frenzied discussion again.
“I can’t believe it! Janet really is Rose?”
