Take My Breath Away

Unfortunately, while Erica still couldn't find the original photos in her camera album, Kaitlyn had already asked Professor Feng to connect her camera to the big screen.

After a thorough comparison between Kaitlyn's original pictures with the retouched ones on the screen, everyone was convinced that she wasn't lying. The photo chosen for one of the ten most outstanding pieces of work in photography undoubtedly belonged to Kaitlyn.

There was another reason why Kaitlyn was able to copy Erica's photos. When Erica took pictures of Hyatt, she kept his face out of focus as he felt shy most of the time, showing hardly even the side of his face.

Erica was scrambling to analyze the facts in her mind. Eventually she came to the conclusion that Kaitlyn must have copied her original photographs, then recreated them with her boyfriend.

Kaitlyn had it all planned out. She knew that she couldn't simply claim ownership over Erica's photos because even if Hyatt and Kaitlyn's boyfriend shared similar facial features, they weren't identical.

Also, since Erica had edited and retouched the pictures before she handed them in, the end result looked far different from the original ones. From the looks of it, these factors made it easier for Kaitlyn to put her own signature under Erica's work.

Professor Feng looked at Erica and asked, "Kaitlyn Dong has shown her evidence. So where are your original pictures?"

Erica answered honestly, "Someone has deleted my pictures!"

She racked her brains but couldn't figure out who had touched her camera besides Hyatt.

Of course, Hyatt couldn't be the one who had set her up, as he was now sitting next to her, looking more anxious than anyone in the room. He might have been a little simple, but he wouldn't conspire with others to frame her.

There were, however, other potential suspects. Erica had sent the photos to the monitor first, who had sent them to Professor Feng. Could it be the professor, or could it be the monitor who had been holding a candle to the devil?

All of a sudden, it occurred to Erica that Kaitlyn's boyfriend was none other than Luther Guo, their class monitor.

Erica was now, without a shred of a doubt, certain that Luther Guo and Kaitlyn were in cahoots together.

Burning red with anger, Professor Feng threw the remote control on the desk. His eyes looked like they would pop out of their sockets. "Let's move on and continue with our class. You two sit down first!"

Judging by the way the professor looked at Erica, it was clear tha

king her brains to find out who else she could turn to for help except Matthew.

It only took three minutes for Erica to think of someone else who could help her!

Her brother-in-law—Evelyn's husband! Erica was so glad to have thought of him, she almost burst into tears.

A long time ago, Terilynn accidentally told her that Sheffield was actually a very talented hacker.

Erica wasn't able to think of Sheffield because Terilynn had made her promise not to tell anyone about his hacking skills.

Clutching the laptop to her chest, Erica ran out of the classroom again, without word or warning.

Before leaving, however, she looked at Kaitlyn and said, "Just wait! I'll make sure everyone sees your real face before the end of the class!"

The smile on Kaitlyn's face froze. Erica seemed quite confident; it seemed as though she had found a solution.

After Erica left the classroom, Kaitlyn took out her phone and sent a message to her cousin. "It looks like Erica has found a solution. What should I do?"

Two minutes later, her cousin replied, "If you really think that she has the evidence to prove it, you have to apologize to her as soon as possible. She is a person who can be persuaded by reason but not be cowed by force. Remember to say that you only did it because you weren't as good a photographer as she was..."

Kaitlyn disagreed. "How will I ever show my face in front of Erica if I apologize to her?"

"Listen to me. I'll take you shopping tomorrow. I'll buy you whatever you want."

"All right!" Kaitlyn reluctantly agreed.

Erica found a quiet place and dialed Evelyn's number, slowly putting down the laptop from her hand. "Hey, it's me, Erica!"
