Chapter 373 Chapter 373 Who'd You Pick After Astrid left, I went onto the inteand logged into the university forum. The dead lady was Kara Waterman. It looked like she was quite popular too.

There weren't a lot of sweet and naive ladies in Manovia. Moreover, Kara was a decent lady. She even participated in the contest for the prettiest lady on campus when she was a freshman.

However, Kara stopped coming to classes two years later. There weren't many Jinovian exchange students here, and she didn't seem to have many friends It wasn't until Kara had passed away that rumors started to spread. Someone said that she had seemingly gone to an upscale hotel with different men. There were a lot of rumors about it on the internet. However, the police's investigations were the biggest shocker of all. Kara couldn't pay off her gambling debt. Eventually, she went into prostitution in an attempt to stave off the debtors. Back then, a lot of people were involved in this tragic incident, including Caleb.

Caleb didn't seem to have lied either. He and Kara were classmates. There were also three other fellow students involved in the whole mess.

However, they were able to prove that they didn't dabble in gambling. Also, they had evidence that Kara tricked them into giving up their information. Eventually, the blwas pinned on her.

After Kara's death, the debtors couldn't continue to collect the debt anymore. The money she earned for them in the two years was probably enough to cover it because nobody talked about this tragic incident anymore.

There was only scant news about it on the internet. The university did do scleanup, it seemed.

With that said, I couldn't shake the feeling that something wasn't right. For the life of me, though, I couldn't put my finger on it. After all, there were rumors claiming that Kara was tricked by her boyfriend to take the loan with her name. However, no one knew who Kara's boyfriend on campus was because she barely went to classes, to begin with. The clues started mingling together. I kept feeling as if I had a direction, but nothing seemed to make sense. My health had indeed deteriorated. Every tI thought about the incident, it felt like I could pass out. I had no choice but to put it aside.

Now that my withdrawal procedure was completed, I was also getting ready to travel back to Pyrosia. Before I left, however, Jill was also done packing up ber stuff. She said she was going back with me.

"Didn't you say you're going to keep Caleb company?" "He's extremely busy every single day. I can't see him, nor do I understand software. I might as well return to Pyrosia with you.

"Just as well, too. I can talk to my dad about Caleb's company. It seems like gdevelopment really takes a lot of capital. I wonder if my dad would lend Caleb his support." Jill was looking out for Caleb, but I subtly frowned. Thad asked my friend to look for a private eye, and I might receive an update sooner rather than later. Once Jill and I returned to Pyrosia, however, there were still a lot of things I had no control over.

When Astrid sent us off, she started sobbing before she worked her way up to unrestrained wailing "I'll do my best to focus on my studies and graduate earlier, I'm going to go back and make the two of you buymeals to the point of bankruptcy.

"Why do I have to stay back and study by myself? I don't want to do this." Astrid cried a little more before she continued, "I'll have to go back to eating canned tuna every day after you two leave, I don't want that at all!"

Astrid looked so pitiful that Jill and I several had to promise her several times that we would mail her sWe sPyrosian food once we were back in the country. Only then was she pacified.

What surprisedwas that Jack actually sent a couple of his company employees to fly back to Pyrosia with mee the official excuse was! was that flight tickets were cheaper if we bought them in groups. However, Astrid secretly toldthat he was worried that something might happen to me.

I pretended not to understand the greater meaning behind his gesture and remained quiet. Zack was also on the sflight with us. It had only been halt a It O halt a year, but he had grown much more mature. Brightwave Group found several successes because of him. The air listesses were also more enthusiastic when they saw what an accomplished man he was. Jill leaned onand said wickedly, "Say, Eva II you're given a choice, would you pick Zack or Poker Jack? à looked at her mischievous expression and knocked her on t on the head. "Can't I just love myself? Why do 1 have to love someone else i
