Chapter 113 Bitch.

The librarian clearly wasn’t surprised by this kind of disturbance.

Grumbling under her breath, she marched into the reading room.

“Everyone, stop crowding around! Quiet down! Back to your seats!”

She herded the students who had gathered to watch the commotion, urging them to disperse.

Nathan and the third-floor librarian squeezed through the edge of the crowd before finally seeing who was at the center of it all.

The moment Nathan spotted the book in Iris’s hands, his face lit up.

“You found it?”

Thank goodness.

He had absolutely no desire to go back into that archive room and search through any more shelves.

Olivia froze as soon as she saw him. She recognized him immediately from the university’s honor wall near the main entrance. He had won countless awards, had been admitted directly into graduate school at Capital University, and was studying under the university’s most renowned professor, Professor Joe. He was practically a campus celebrity.

‘How could someone like him know Iris?’

A growing sense of unease settled over her. She quietly tried to slip away during the confusion. Before she could, the second-floor librarian grabbed her arm.

“Don’t leave just yet.” Turning to Iris, she asked, “Professor Joe sent you here to borrow books?”

Nathan answered before Iris could. “Not exactly. Professor Joe didn’t send her. She is Professor Joe’s honored guest. Professor Joe personally gave her his library card so she could borrow the book. If you don’t believe me, you’re welcome to ask Professor Joe yourself.”

Everyone on campus knew Nathan. His words carried considerable weight.

The crowd’s opinion of Iris changed instantly.

Nathan hadn’t called her Professor Joe’s relative.

Nor his friend.

He had called her…

His honored guest.

Just how important was she?

Realizing she’d been manipulated by Olivia, the second-floor librarian immediately panicked.

“This has nothing to do with me!” she blurted out. “She came and told me someone had broken into the archive room. The third-floor librarian wasn’t there, so I came up to help. I had no idea this young lady was Professor Joe’s honored guest!”

Nathan turned to Iris. “Do you know her?”

“Yes.” Iris’s expression remained calm. “But we’re not related in any way.”

The crowd finally pieced everything together.

So the girl in the white dress had deliberately stirred up trouble.

Heat rushed to Olivia’s face. Acting on impulse, she blurted out,

“My sister was kicked out of our house after making serious mistakes. I don’t know when she met Professor Joe… She’s always been good at getting close to men…”

Nathan’s face darkened instantly. His voice became icy. “Miss, are you really treating her like your sister by saying things like that?”

He took a step forward. “If you keep talking, are you planning to slander Professor Joe next?”

The reading room fell completely silent. Everyone knew Nathan’s standing in Professor Joe’s laboratory. If he vouched for someone, no one doubted his word.

As for Olivia’s insinuation… anyone with common sense understood exactly what she had been implying. Who would dare support her now?

Professor Joe’s reputation-and Capital University’s-was at stake.

Iris looked directly at Olivia. “So you think Professor Joe and I have an improper relationship?”

The question was so blunt that Olivia immediately realized she’d gone too far. She lowered her head, avoiding eye contact.

“I just meant… back when you were living at home…”

Iris glanced at her watch. Her lunch break was almost over.

And it was obvious Olivia was about to start dragging up old family grievances again.

Without another word, Iris picked up a nearby book and dropped it into Olivia’s arms.

“You should read more, Olivia.”

Completely baffled, Olivia looked down.

Someone had left a copy of The Art of Being a Bitch on the circulation desk.

She instantly understood. Iris was mocking her right to her face.

Her cheeks burned with embarrassment. She didn’t dare linger any longer, afraid Ethan might come looking for her.

Knowing she’d clearly lost this round, she threw the book onto the table, covered her face, and

ran away.

‘She certainly knows when to make an exit.’

The second-floor librarian hurriedly returned Professor Joe’s library card with trembling hands.

“I’m so sorry, honored guest. I acted too rashly just now. Your borrowing request has already been processed. Please… please don’t file a complaint. My whole family depends on my salary.”

Iris handed the card back to Nathan. “You can handle the rest yourselves. I need to get back to

work.”

“No problem.” Nathan nodded. “I’ll walk you out.”

The nearby students were stunned once again.

She didn’t even look older than they were…

Yet she was already working full-time?

After Iris and Nathan left, everyone returned to their seats.

Several students replayed the videos they’d just recorded.

That had been one entertaining spectacle.

Before long, someone uploaded the footage to the campus forum.

Fortunately, no one had dared film too closely, so neither Iris’s nor Olivia’s face could be seen clearly.

“Ow!”

Running out of the library with tears in her eyes, Olivia accidentally crashed straight into Ethan.

Looking up and realizing it was him, she immediately burst into tears.

“Ethan…”

He had been about to ask why she hadn’t answered any of his calls.

The moment he saw her crying, all his irritation disappeared.

He held her and comforted her for quite a while before gently asking,

“What happened? Did someone bully you?”

She shook her head. “It’s nothing. Let’s just go eat.”

It wasn’t that she didn’t want to tell him. She simply hadn’t had time to come up convincing story.

Ethan was too smart.

If she rushed into making accusations now, he’d quickly notice the inconsistencies.

Although still suspicious, Ethan took her to the campus cafeteria.

Along the way, they passed several photo spots specially decorated for students who had just finished the college entrance exams.

He even stopped to take dozens of pictures for her.

Dressed like a doll, Olivia looked even more fragile after crying.

The sight stirred Ethan’s protective instincts.

The more he looked at her, the more charming she seemed.

In the cafeteria, Olivia happily scrolled through the photos while waiting for Ethan to bring back lunch.

“Look… isn’t that her?”

“I think so. She’s wearing the exact same dress.”

Olivia immediately looked around. She couldn’t identify where the whispers were coming from. But she’d definitely heard them.

Just then Ethan returned carrying two trays.

She quickly composed herself and began chatting with him as though nothing had happened.

Only a few moments later, more whispers drifted over.

“She really does look like a total bitch…”

“Why is she so close to Senior Ethan? Is she his girlfriend?”

“Seriously? That’s Senior Ethan’s taste?”

Ethan looked around in confusion. He couldn’t figure out who was talking. Even so, he could feel countless eyes secretly watching him. Some people were even taking pictures with their phones.

He wasn’t particularly bothered. After all, someone as outstanding as he was would naturally attract attention-especially now that he had such a beautiful girlfriend.

“What?”

Zane clicked his tongue as he gripped the steering wheel.

“Boss, you actually ran into someone from the Sutton family at Capital University?”

“That family really is a pain. They’re all the way over in Kingsley, and we still keep crossing paths with them.”

Iris closed the book she’d borrowed.

“Olivia wouldn’t come to Capital University without a reason.”

“She came for Ethan.”

“Oh!” Understanding dawned on Zane. “Ethan is the mayor’s son!”

“Do you think she’s trying to secure an invitation to Stellar Venture’s second anniversary celebration?”

Recently, relations between the mayor of Kingsley and the Sutton family had cooled considerably.

The Sutton family was probably worried they would no longer be invited to the anniversary banquet.

Sending their daughter to charm the mayor’s son was likely their attempt to secure that invitation.

Zane chuckled.

“If the Sutton family ever found out you’re the real owner behind Stellar Venture… they’d probably regret everything they’ve ever done.”

Iris looked out the window.

“I have no intention of letting them find out.”
