Chapter 1460 Envy
The girl beside Jessie turned around, her eyes filled with envy. “So, your friend is Julian? Are you guys dating?”
“No. We’re just friends.” Jessie smiled. She raised her head and was met with Xandra’s icy glare. She blamed Jessie for the embarrassment she suffered earlier.
Jessie shot her a look as well. She never did anything to her, and she wouldn’t let Xandra bully her, either.
After class was over, the professor asked Jessie to come with her. Xandra approached them happily. “Professor Larson, I have a few questions I’d like to ask. Can I come as well?”
“Of course.” The professor nodded.
Xandra shot Jessie a smug look. She felt superior just because she was a part of the performance arts course, while Jessie was just a no-name stuntwoman.
The professor gave Jessie three books and told her she could come to her anytime. She even gave Jessie her number.
Jessie was grateful for the professor’s help and even more thankful for Julian’s as she wouldn’t have had this opportunity to learn the arts of performing if not for him.
When she emerged from the office, the girl who had talked to her earlier came and said hello. She kept asking her questions, especially things related to Julian. Jessie had already been in the industry for years and knew she had to deny everything, so she told the girl she wasn’t familiar with Julian. Seeing that she couldn’t get anything out of Jessie, the girl left.
However, little did Jessie know that any news about Julian would be twisted and written into articles that were nothing but lies. It was especially so when a no-name stuntwoman like her received a favor from Julian; the news outlets would make use of their wildest imagination to brew some juicy gossip for their readers.
Before Jessie could even leave the school, Lexie called her. “Hey, Lexie.”
“Jessie, is it true? Are you dating Julian?”
“Who said that?”
“Every news outlet. They said he recommended you to join the performance class at Averna’s University’s School of Performance Arts.”
Jessie’s head buzzed. How did they find out so fast? She explained, “No. Lemme check the news.” She sat down under a tree and scrolled through all the news related to Julian. However, she noticed the news wasn’t about Julian; it was about her!
‘An unnamed stuntwoman seduced Julian, and her endeavor was successful. Julian recommended her to a class at the school of performance arts.’
‘Fans say an unnamed stuntwoman spent a whole day with Julian in his hotel. Claims were made that her sexual prowess is incredible.’
Jessie’s face turned red, and her cheeks burned. Damn, they sure are good at making up lies. This is fake news. We did nothing at the hotel. They even used photos of me at work; it was clear that they were talking about me. The comment section was filled with nothing but insults at that point.
She was getting a headache as she read through all that. Right at this moment, someone approached her and sneered, “Did you see the news, Jessie? No wonder you got the chance to attend this class.” Xandra and her sycophants mocked Jessie.
“Hey, someone’s great in bed. Not like us.”
“Oh, god! Julian, you have no taste at all.”
“It’s a misunderstanding. These are all fabricated. We’re innocent,” Jessie explained.
“Of course, we know that. Julian wouldn’t fall for an ugly woman like you. I bet you dragged him in just to make a name for yourself. Now, tell me who’s the guy you slept with. Bet he’s a fat, old man.” Xandra crossed her arms as she mocked.
