Chapter 82

Harvard University's Physics Department welcomed a distinguished visiting professor.

Ethan Sullivan.

The name exploded across campus like a detonation.

The university forum servers crashed repeatedly.

"Is Ethan Sullivan really coming to teach us? Is this for real?"

"Absolutely! The Physics Department already posted the schedule!"

"Oh my God! I'm crashing his class!"

Girls' dormitories erupted with shrieks of excitement.

Ethan's legendary reputation spread like wildfire.

The youngest CEO.

A physics prodigy alumnus.

The prince charming in countless girls' dreams.

Now this icon was returning to teach.

Even more shocking—he chose to lecture only twice a month.

"This is highly unusual."

"He rarely accepts speaking engagements."

"Unless..."

A trending post suddenly appeared on the campus forum.

"Rumor has it Evelyn Laurent is enrolled here?"

The thread shot to the top instantly.

"That low-key Lowell heiress?"

"They say she's hiding her identity."

"So Ethan came for his fiancée?"

The speculation spread rapidly.

Meanwhile.

Sophia Lowell sat on her dorm bed.

Her fingers clutched a gleaming silver necklace.

Under a magnifying glass.

Three initials stood out clearly.

E.S.N.

Ethan Sullivan's initials.

Sophia's breathing turned ragged.

Her hands trembled slightly.

"It was him after all..."

A bold scheme took shape in her mind.

She immediately dialed Brandon Lowell.

"Brandon, tell me about Evelyn's childhood."

A derisive snort came through the line.

"Why bother with that bitch?"

Sophia kept her tone sweet.

"Just curious."

Brandon rattled off a few anecdotes impatiently.

Suddenly.

Sophia interrupted.

"Wait! She was kidnapped as a child?"

Her voice spiked sharply.

Her grip tightened around the necklace.

A horrifying realization dawned on her.
