Catly followed behind Ophelia, wondering. "The history of Delfiner's development? Can't she just search for that

online?

Ophelia paused her steps, turned her head slightly, and lowered her voice. "Don't you have classes? Why are you

"I don't have classes this afternoon. I'll help you look for them" With that said, Carly began darting between the

bookshelves, eagerly searching for the books.

Ophelia gave her a brief glance, withdrew her gaze, and began searching for books herself.

Tslipped away quietly, accompanied by the soft rustle of turning pages.

None of the books Ophelia looked through had any useful information.

She wondered if maybe she was searching in the wrong direction

Carly said, "Ms. Spencer, take a look at this one."

A book with a dark red cover was handed to Ophelia. The color was like long-dried blood, creating a stifling

feeling.

The book was titled "The Old Dellanex.

Just from the title and cover, it seemed more like a .

In fact, when Ophelia opened it, it turned out to be a .

The author went by the pen nJason, and the protagonist was named Jake.

The story seemed to be set twenty to thirty years ago.

Back then, everything wasn't as convenient as it was now. Jake, who cfrom a small town to make a living in

Dellanes, was struck by the dazzling vibrancy of the big city for the first time. At seventeen, it was an age where

he was curious about everything.

He worked carrying packages at the Dellanex docks, making 100 dollars a month. He needed to return the

bottles of beer. ; plate of pasta cost fifty cents, and a formal meal was 3 dollars.

His biggest dream was to save up enough money to spend a whole day in the movie theater, a place where all

the wealthy folks hung out.

He also wanted to check it out.

Ophelia flipped through a few pages. It was all descriptive, written in a clear and straightforward manner, easy to

read but not very gripping.

At that moment, her phone vibrated in her pocket.

Kenneth was calling, and she didn't dare ignore it.

She walked to the window and answered the call. A deep, pleasant voice cfrom the other end. "What are

you doing?"

"Atthe library," she answered softly.

"Alright, | won't be able to join you for dinner tonight, so get srest early," said Kenneth.

He had been especially busy these past few days. This arrangement was perfect for Opliels as it gave her tto

read in the evening

It was only after the call ended that she realized it was already past five o'clock.

Looking up, she realized that the library had seen a whole bof people cand go

"Ms. Spencer, I've found two more books for you, Carly said, bringing over two more hooks.

Ophelia could tell that Carly was really making an effort to help her find the books.

"Thank you. I'm sorry it took so long. You didn't even get a chance to have lunch, Ophelia said.

Carly replied, "No worries Consider it a diet day"

"Could you helpcheck out these books? Just these few. There were two more she hadn't finished, which she

intended to take hand savor at her leisure. Ophelia glanced at the again and placed it on top of the

pile. "These five in total.

"Sure, no problem," Carly was happy to help.

The checkout was a quick process.

After Ophelia thanked Carly, she carried the books and left the library.

After she left, Lesly cover to look for Carly.

"Carly, what are you doing here? I've been looking for you all afternoon. Carly, | have a great idea to get back at

that new professor," said Lesly.

What's the big deal?’ thought Lesly.

Carly frowned, "What are you planning?"

Look at this." Lesly proudly handed over her phone.

It was a video with a supermarket scene.

Carly asked, "What's so interesting about that?"

Isn't it just a supermarket argument? thought Carly.

Lesly pointed at the person on the screen. "See who that is? Isn't that Ms. Spencer, having a fight in a

supermarket, acting all self-righteous? Can such a person really be a professor? | have to make sure all the guys

see this clearly." Carly warned, "Don't go posting it everywhere."

Lesly was startled by Carly's sudden shift in attitude. She didn't say that earlier today.

"What are you afraid of? Afraid she'll use her power for personal revenge? What's there to be afraid of? In this

digital age, if she dares to do that, we'll expose her online and get the school to suspend her," said Lesly.

Besides, if a video like this got out, it would tarnish her reputation as a teacher, and her chances of staying at

Dellanex University would be zero.

"Ms. Spencer is really kind and didn't even take offense at what you said in class. | think by following Ms.

Spencer, | can truly learn something valuable," said Carly.

Hashed across Carly's ryc

Lesly said, Tm doing this for your own good, Everyone knows Andrew's got a thing for the former school belle,

Carly didn't take it to heart. In any case, don't do anything reckless.

"Alright, alright... Lesly agreed on the surface, but in her heart, die was still nor convinced

That night, she quietly uploaded the video online.

At Rosewood Manor, Ophelia stayed in the study after dinner, continuing to delve into the books,

She read until her eyes started feeling a bit sore

She yawned, flipped through a few more pages, and her eyelids started to feel heavy. Somehow, she ended up

falling asleep at her desk.

Late at night, when Kenneth returned, he noticed the study light was on and the door was open.

Ophelia was dozing, resting her head on her arms, one of which was pressed down on a book.

Kenneth walked over, carrying a faint smell of blood.

He only glanced briefly and understood why she was reading these books.

He carefully picked up Ophelia and carried her to the bedroom. As he laid her on the soft bed, Ophelia slowly

opened her

acyes.

She wrapped her arms around his neck, pulling him closer.

"You're back... Her voice was languid and sweet, sending a pleasant shiver through his heart.

Kenneth said, "Not sleeping? If not, then get up and do something

Hearing this, Ophelia immediately closed her eyes, let go, pulled the covers, and turned over.

She acted as if she hadn't said anything.

This guy had only one thing on his mind

Kenneth chuckled softly and placed a gentle kiss on her forehead. "Sleep tight."

Ophelia wanted to ask if he was going to sleep, but she hesitated, worried that he might drag her out of bed and

start mi out with her.

She started off pretending to sleep, but then she really did drift off.

In the middle of the night, Ophelia sensed that the spot beside her remained vacant, and upon reaching out, she

felt no

warmth.

She instinctively opened her eyes, wondering. 'Did Kenneth cback or not? He must have cback, or how

did 1 up back in the bedroom? Then why didn't he cto the bedroom to sleep?"

It was still dark outside, and pnly a dim night light lit up the room.

She got up from the bed and quickly threw on sclothes.

As she left the bedroom, she noticed a strip of light coming from under the study door.

As she got closer, she could barely hear Kenneth's deep voice though the door.
