Chapter 53: Won’t You Help?

Chapter 53: Won’t You Help?

Hazel smiled at Jaxson and turned back without any words.

Maybe it would be better if she and Joshua just let go of each other. Without answering Jaxson, Hazel went into the dormitory.

The public opinion on the Internet quickly calmed down, and like Hazel was completely forgotten and never discussed again.

Hazel knew clearly Joshua must have intervened.

He said that he hoped the media would stop bothering Hazel and not talk about it anymore during his press conference.

There was still some negative discussion about her on the campus forum. It was about Hazel ruining the reputation of a girl. Hazel knew that this must be Kyla making her look bad, but she didn't care that much.

But not long after that, Derek Sanchez posted a message on the school forum, clarifying his and Kyla's relationship without any compassion.

The whole thing reversed instantly, and those who were on Kyla’s side quickly turned to attack Kyla.

Even after all of this happened, it seemed as if overnight, life quickly returned to normal. It was peaceful, except for the few students who still looked at Hazel with unfriendly expressions, but she did not pay attention to them.

But...Joshua really did not come to entrap her as he said at the press conference. There were still a few reports which were stalking Hazel, but when they did not see anything newsworthy, they gave up.

Hazel felt a little lost and heartbroken, but she did not let that bring her down. Instead, she focused on preparing for her final exam.

Ariel and Summer did not dare to ask anything, but they always worried about Hazel.

"Hazel, the Student Union, has an activity today, could you go for me? I am going on a date." After receiving this message from Summer, Hazel felt obligated.

She went to the activity room of the Student Union and sat down in the corner. She had come to these gatherings before and met many people, but this time, Hazel planned to sit for a while and then leave.

She sat back and watched the others arguing, and she wasn’t listening closely to what they were saying, only hearing a few words here and there.

It was a tradition of Quantum University that the Student Union would organize an event called Celebrity Lecture. They would invite elite scholars from all walks of life to the University to give speeches.

However, one of the business elites invited this time could not come because of an unexpected situation, and it was a few days before the Celebrity Lecture event. Now the whole Student Union was in a mess and discussing how to save the day.

"I have a wonderful candidate!" Suddenly, a girl opened her mouth.

It was Karla, who Hazel actually had met through the Student Union. Hazel really did have bad luck.

"Who?" asked everyone.

"We originally planned to invite a business elite, correct? How about we find another business elite? The person that I'm thinking of will definitely make everyone happy!" Karla said proudly.

"Karla, stop playing games, just tell us!" Others hurriedly urged her.

Karla's gaze swept across to Hazel with a provoking smile, and Hazel suddenly had a bad feeling.

Karla sneered, "Joshua."

The activity room stopped so suddenly it was as if they were frozen in time.

“Karla, what are you talking about? Joshua is good, but he is out of our league, right?"

"Yes, and the lecture is this Sunday. Even if we send the invitation now, we won't necessarily get it! Can you invite him here?"

Listening to everyone's arguments, Karla chuckled. "We can't invite him, but someone can!"

"Who?" Everyone asked in surprise.

"Hazel," Karla looked at her challengingly. "It should be just a phone call for you. Won’t you help?"

Everyone looked at Hazel as they sat up straight, waiting for an answer. "Yeah, Hazel, aren't you still having an affair with Joshua? It should be easy for you to invite him, right?"

Hazel couldn't help but frown.

Joshua really did not bother her anymore, as he said. Even if she asked Joshua, he might not come anyway, and she did not want to be exploited by Karla.

"Sorry, I can't. You should look for someone else." Hazel refused directly.

"Hey!" Karla sneered. "Joshua said he fell in love with you at first sight in front of so many reporters! If you just seduce him, he will definitely come!"

The classmates also said, "Yeah, maybe you could just invite him to dinner and talk about it? Many people want to eat a meal with him, and they will never get a chance."

"Hazel, this is not difficult for you. Are you planning to make us beg?"

Hearing what all students were saying, Hazel could not help but frown. She was in a bad mood lately, and this was not what she needed.

"Whoever wants to invite Joshua, feel free to seduce him!" Hazel put on a poker face and said, "I have something to do. Catch you later!"

Seeing that Hazel was really about to leave, Karla suddenly called her, "Hazel, I see you just don't want to help us solve this problem! You are part of the Student Union too. How can you be so irresponsible?"

Hazel smiled at Karla, "If I don't agree, you will assume I don’t want to help the Student Union on purpose?"

"Yes!" Karla said firmly. Other people were not saying anything but obviously had the same thought.

"Okay, if you insist," Hazel took a deep breath, "I just don't want to help!"

Everyone was looking very distraught.

When Hazel got to the door of the activity room, the Student Union president shouted at her, "Hazel, you are just going to leave like that?"

Hazel paused and said quietly, "Yes, that's it. Don't you remember, I'm not a member of the Student Union at all?"

Hearing that, everyone was alarmed.

It suddenly occurred to them that Hazel was really not a member of the Student Union. She just came here to help with Summer's work so often that almost all of them thought of her as a member.

"What should we do now?" The Student Union president's face was burning, "It's almost the weekend. Am I going to be the first Student Union president to screw up this Celebrity Lecture?"

"Don't worry." A malicious glow shined in Karla's eyes. She sneered, "I have another way!"
