Sophie arrived at the university in the aftemoon to register, dressed simply in casual clothes, and she instantly turned heads as she walked through the campus.
“Isn’t she gorgeous? Is she a freshman?”
“Have you seen her before? Is she really from our school?”

“I think I saw her during the entrance exams. She must be a new student, right?”
People whispered and glanced in Sophie’s direction.
A rather handsome guy approached her and asked, “Hey, are you a new student here?”
Sophie nodded, “Sort of.”
“Which dorm building are you in? Need me to walk you there?”
Im not staying in the dorms”
“Then how about I take you to the registration? I’m a junior, and freshmen usually register at Building A.” Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.
“No, I’m headed to Liberty Hall.”
“Liberty Hall?” The guy was momentarily taken aback.
Sophie confirmed, “Yes, I’m registering at Liberty Hall.”
“But Liberty Hall is. Wasn’t it the place for graduate registrations?
The guy looked Sophie up and down.
Sophie appeared to be just over twenty, not old at all. Eastwood College’s graduate programs required years of preparation which seemed impossible for someone her age. He couldn’t possibly compare her to the typically older graduate students.
“Liberty Hall is just over there, I see it now. Thanks anyway,” Sophie said with a smile, then turned and walked into the academic building.
Meanwhile, Nichole had been staying in the dorms for the past few days, and James hadn’t shown any signs of wanting to see her, not even a phone call. Krystal and Tina both sensed something was off.
Krystal couldn’t help but ask, “Nichole, what about your boyfriend? Why hasn’t he contacted you at all?”
“Yeah, you guys didn’t break up over that other woman, did you?” Tina added.
Nichole forced a smile and replied, “He’s just on a business trip. Don’t overthink it.”
“Oh my god, is this the same woman you mentioned last time who likes your boyfriend?” another roommate suddenly asked, showing a blurry side profile photo of Sophie on her phone from the university’s confession page.
“Seriously, why is she back at the university?” Krystal complained. “She’s like a bad penny, probably here to cause trouble for Nichole again.”
Nichole’s heart pounded with anxiety. Today was the freshman registration day. How could Sophie possibly be at the university? Could it be that Sophie had actually been admitted as a graduate student at Eastwood College?
Impossible! The entrance exam was incredibly tough, and Sophie, a finance–uneducated heiress, couldn’t possibly have passed.
“No way, she registered at Liberty Hall today. Seems like she’s a new graduate student in the finance department. Not sure about her background, but she’s so pretty, and several guys have already confessed on the confession page asking for her contact info.” “Slut!” Krystal always had a low tolerance for such women.
Tina was also taken aback, “Really? She didn’t get in through pulling strings, did she?”
“You know how it is at our university. With her looks, she probably got in through some unwritten rules, Ta said dismissively. Why would someone as attractive as her need to study finance at Eastwood College?
