Chapter 750 The Rumormonger
Today, Sophia sent over the design sketches for the wedding dress.
Caroline looked at them and was very pleased.
The wedding dress was personally designed by Celeste, combining classical and modern styles, incorporating vintage elements, and fitting both Sophia and Caroline's personalities.
The second set of dresses was designed by Jennifer and Sophia.
In addition, they invited Sophia's idol, Catherine Hearst, to design a dress for them.
Gabriel and Nicholas's outfits were also custom-designed by world-renowned designers.
After looking at these design sketches in her office, Caroline became even more excited about the wedding.
The alarm clock rang, and Caroline checked the time; it was time to give a class.
She happily carried her violin to the classroom. On the way, students greeted her, but after she passed, she faintly heard whispers behind her.
"That's her. I heard she's being kept by a sugar daddy."
"No way! Isn't she dating Mr. Watson?"
Caroline's steps halted as she wondered, 'Were they talking about me?'
At the beginning of the new year, she was completely immersed in happiness and anticipation for the wedding. It had been a week since school started, and she just noticed something was off.
Many students and teachers looked at her with a strange gaze.
Caroline temporarily suppressed her doubts and went to find Wesley after finishing her class.
Wesley had just finished his class and was heading back to the faculty office.
"Wesley, have you noticed that people have been looking at me strangely lately?"
Wesley was silent for a moment, then pulled Caroline aside.
"I thought you had already heard. But you actually didn't know."
"What is it?" Caroline was even more puzzled.
"Someone spread a rumor that you have several sugar daddies behind you. Besides Nicholas, there's an older sugar daddy. Someone even posted a photo on the school forum of that sugar daddy who picked you up after work."
"What?" Caroline found it unbelievable.
Caroline thought in mind, 'Don't these students and teachers have anything better to do? Can't they just study and teach properly?'
Wesley took out his phone and showed Caroline the post.
The person who posted it had a lot of subjective speculation. The photo was from when Daniel came to the school to find her before she had forgiven the Wolf family, and she agreed to go to dinner with him.
In the photo, Daniel was very cautious and gentle with her, full of love. This love was clearly a father's love for his daughter, but someone misinterpreted it as something else.
A surge of anger quickly rose in Caroline's heart.
"Who posted this?"
Wesley replied, "The poster was anonymous, so we can't find out who it was."
Caroline was furious.
"I'm going to find the principal."
Wesley stopped her.
"The principal is in a meeting. Don't worry. Many people don't believe you're that kind of person. After all, Nicholas is so handsome and rich, you don't need to find an older sugar daddy, right?"
"You're the most beautiful teacher in our school. Many students like you. After a few days, when the heat dies down, no one will discuss about this."
"But that older man is quite handsome, looks very elegant. By the way, Miss Clark, who is he to you?"
Wesley was also very curious.
In his view, Caroline had no reason to abandon the young and handsome Nicholas for an older elegant man.
Unless Caroline had lost her mind.
"He's my dad!" Caroline gritted her teeth.
Wesley widened his eyes, "Aren't you an orphan?"
"I've found my biological parents."
The Wolf family's relatives and friends all knew that Caroline was Daniel's long-lost biological daughter, but few outsiders knew that.
Actually, even if students saw Daniel picking up Caroline, given Caroline's good reputation at school, no one would think much of it.
However, someone deliberately spread fake rumors.
People were naturally curious. Once someone spread a rumor, even good things could quickly turn bad.
Wesley was happy for Caroline.
"That's great! Such big news, and you didn't tell us. We could have celebrated for you."
Caroline replied, "It's quite complicated. At that time, I had some misunderstandings with my parents."
Caroline didn't want to bring up those things again.
Fortunately, Wesley didn't press further.
"In that case, just post a clarification on the forum."
Caroline shook her head.
"I want to know who spread the rumor."
Once someone started trouble, he would do it again. This time, she wanted to find the mastermind to prevent future troubles.
"So, what are you going to do?"
Caroline smiled mysteriously.
"Wesley, please keep it a secret that he's my dad."
"OK!"
The next day, Daniel came to find Caroline with a bouquet of flowers.
Caroline happily went out.
Caroline and Daniel walked around the school, chatting.
"Caroline, you asked me to come. What happened?"
Daniel wanted to beat Clayton hard. He had been running off to play in a band, performing every day, and not attending classes. If Clayton were at school, Daniel would feel more at ease.
Caroline affectionately held Daniel's hand.
"I'll tell you later."
Daniel dotingly tapped her nose.
Although Caroline was thirty, in Daniel's eyes, she was still a child.
Under Daniel and Linda's doting, Caroline gradually found the feeling of being a daughter, so she naturally acted coquettishly in front of Daniel.
Not far away, someone was secretly taking photos with a phone.
Caroline led Daniel to a place with cameras.
Nicholas and the principal were in the monitoring room, watching Caroline and Daniel walk by.
"It seems there's nothing unusual." The principal had just finished speaking when a sneaky figure appeared on the surveillance screen.
It was a woman, holding a phone and taking pictures of Caroline.
The woman seemed to notice the camera behind her, so she lowered her head and ran away, avoiding the next camera.
"That's her!" Nicholas pointed at the computer screen.
The principal's face turned cold. That woman was a vocal coach!
"Mr. Watson, don't worry. I will give you and Miss Clark a satisfactory explanation!"
The principal hurried out.
Caroline received a call from Nicholas, knowing they had found the person who spread the rumor.
"Dad, they found the person."
"What person?" Daniel was fully confused.
Caroline took Daniel to find Nicholas.
Soon, they appeared in the principal's office.
The female teacher had already been brought over.
She walked to the door, saw so many people in the principal's office, including Caroline and Daniel, and immediately shrank back, wanting to run away.
The principal sternly shouted, "Imogen Morris, get in here!"
Imogen trembled and had no choice but to walk in with a forced smile, pretending to greet everyone nonchalantly.
"Principal, Miss Clark, Mr. Watson." When she saw Daniel, Imogen paused, "Mr. Wolf."
Daniel gave her a cold stare.
Nicholas didn't even glance at Imogen.
Caroline looked at her with a faint smile.
