Chapter 173
After the shooting of the movie “The Magical Romance of Cinderella“, Agnes was about to start a new semester. She was now a senior.
On the first day of the new semester, Agnes was the talk of the town.
The big magical movie was shot right at Lakeside College, so it was the hot gossip among all students. But the leading lady was none other than Agnes from the journalism department. What was even more shocking, she got hitched with the big cheese of the Whitfield family at just 20.
This was the buzz all summer long. No doubt, Agnes became the center of attention.
So, on the first day of the new semester, many were at the school gate waiting for her arrival.
As soon as Agnes stepped into campus, she felt gazes falling on her from all directions. Many were looking at her, talking about her, but not daring to interact with her.
With her sharp ears, Agnes heard a lot of rumors.
“Look, that’s Agnes from journalism, tied the knot with Mr. Whitfield at only 20. That’s why Mr. Whitfield only accepted an interview from a campus media outlet it was all for her.”
“I heard Starlight International Group is run by Justin, she’s so lucky. Not only did she marry into wealth, but she also got to act with the hottest and most handsome star.”
“Her dad is the chairman of Starlight International Group, and I heard he funded the movie. Justin is also a star of Starlight. So, her family background really does matter. She was born with a silver spoon in her mouth, we can’t really compete with that.”
“But, wasn’t there a rumor that Prince Frost announced that Agnes from the journalism department was his girlfriend? Is that true?”
“Isn’t Prince Frost, Ryder Whitfield, Mr. Jared’s nephew?”
“But their relationship was public. I was there at the cafeteria when Ryder held Agnes’s hand and declared it after Cecile tried to provoke him. How could that be fake? What’s going on?”
“Maybe she was with Ryder first, then got close to the family after meeting the parents.”
“Oh my gosh, this is so complicated.”
Hearing all of this, Agnes felt uncomfortable. She was worried about this issue before the new semester started. While she never admitted it. Due to Cecile’s misleading, many people on campus had misunderstood her relationship with Ryder.
Ryder only used her as a shield to avoid Cecile. Even he probably didn’t expect his shield to become a burden and tarnish his reputation. No wonder Ryder was so annoyed with her now.
“Look, isn’t that Prince Frost? Oh my god, he’s so handsome. I can’t believe I get to see him on the first day of the new semester.”
“Why is he coming to school with Agnes? Do they live together?”
“Wow, his ex–girlfriend became a family member? Isn’t that awkward?”
Everyone was buzzing with gossip.
Agnes turned around. Sure enough, she saw Ryder not far behind her.
He was still looked handsome and aloof, wearing a simple white shirt, but with an artistic vibe. Carrying his black backpack as usual, he gave off a cold, restrained, and mysterious feel
No wonder so many girls at school were head over heels for him. His face looked like it was straight out of an anime.
Agnes couldn’t help but stop in her tracks.
Watching Ryder come closer, when he was next to her, Agnes considered whether to politely say hi. But he didn’t even glance at her, just walked right past her, treating Agnes as if she was invisible.
Agnes watched as Ryder walked away and let out a sigh. Maybe, he also heard those rumors at school.
That probably made him dislike her even more.
