Chapter 130 The unexpected presence

The lecture was split into three segments.

Howard, the host, kicked off the event.Renee followed, sharing her study experiences and tips, Finally, it was time for students to ask their questions.

Renee finished her talk without a problem. The audience, being of a similar age, eagerly participated, asking mostly about study techniques and personal growth.

Wearing a mask,Catherine sat in the corner of the last row. Surveying the crowded room of over five hundred people, with some even standing in the aisles, her expression darkened.

Was Renee really that popular?

Had these people forgotten the scandal Herman revealed about Renee?

Renee randomly picked someone from the audience.

The chosen guy stood up, all smiles, and asked, “Renee, can I ask something unrelated to studies or major?”

“Sure, go ahead.” Renee didn’t care.

“What’s your opinion of Howard? This is his first time serving as a host for someone since becoming the president of the student union.”

Students at this age loved to stir the pot, as they were doing now.

“Come on, Renee! Tell us! What’s your take on Howard?”

“Howard is the most handsome guy at our law school!”

“Renee, you’ve got us all curious!”

Howard was caught off guard for a moment, his panic mixed with a sense of excitement that kept him from instantly shutting down these troublemaking students.

Renee, holding the microphone, glanced at Howard and carefully considered her response.

Noticing Renee’s prolonged silence, Howard felt a twinge of disappointment, though he kept it hidden.

In a tone that was both playful and serious, he warned, “Everyone, please don’t speak nonsense. If you scare Renee away, you might never get any more lectures!”

Feeling relieved by Howard’s words, Renee smiled and replied, “I’m truly honored to have Howard as my host. I have every confidence that he will achieve great things. And when he returns to give lectures, the future student union president can also have the privilege of hosting for him.”

Her response was so well–crafted that it left the gossiping students without anything more to say. Just then, Renee noticed someone watching.

Marcelo was positioned quietly at the back door, observing the scene.

Didn’t Marcelo mention that he wasn’t coming? Why was he here?

Renee, rapidly went over her words and actions in her head, and the embarrassment welled up inside her.

All at once, she recalled the students‘ teasing and an unexplainable sense of guilt washed over her.

Catherine anxiously gripped the metal logo on her Chanel bag, squeezing it until
