Chapter 42: The True Story Ending

As you can see from the fact that the school name has Phillips, Phillips Andover and Phillips Exeter have a close relationship.

The founders of the two schools are a pair of uncles and nephews, but the relationship between the two is not harmonious, and even the birth of the two schools has a lot to do with the conflict between the uncle and nephew.

This hostile relationship continued for more than two hundred years after the establishment of the school.

Although the two schools, together with the British Eton College, have been consistently regarded as the top three private high schools in the world.

But many times Exeter and Andover still don't look at each other and habitually compete with each other.

The relationship is very similar to that of Harvard and Yale.

Now that the Exeter students have been collectively exposed to such a black material scandal, the most energetic eaters are the students of Phillips Andover.

And the Exeter school was busy "putting out fires", and for a while there was no time to investigate the true identity of the hacker.

Anyway, now everyone suspects that one of Phillips's students in Andover did it.

The most direct evidence of this is that everyone is using the same server, and the same spike in traffic in a short period of time.

Why is my server crashing, but yours is fine?

And that's exactly what Zuckerberg wants.

He thinks that he has made such a big noise on the Internet, how can he interfere with Jamie and Grace's "date" a little.

This time, however, Zuckerberg miscalculated.

Grace knew very well that she and Jamie were going out on a "date", which would definitely cause a lot of waves at school, so she turned off her mobile phone before leaving school.

While Zuckerberg was busy hacking into the computers of his classmates who forgot to turn off the network cables when they went out, Jamie and Grace were sitting at a Dunkin' Donuts store for lunch.

This fast-food chain born next door in Massachusetts is not only good for the doughnuts, but also for the coffee.

After all, it is the existence of the coffee world and Starbucks wrenching wrists.

In addition to donuts, Grace also likes all kinds of sweets in their house, sandwiches, bagels, muffins ordered a bunch of them, but for the sake of staying in shape, she can only eat a little bit of everything.

Naturally, Jamie will take care of the rest.

Drinking space spring water for a long time has made Jamie have no trouble with dieting and fitness at all.

After driving for more than three hours early in the morning, he was indeed hungry.

Grace put her hands on the table and just watched Jamie gobble up, which was funny.

I haven't seen each other in three years, and a lot of things have changed, but it feels like Jamie is still the same teenager who took him on a horse ride on the Montana ranch.

"Why did you do that?"

Jamie chewed on the food in his mouth and asked indistinctly.

Grace asked knowingly:

"What do you mean?"

"Why pretend we're dating in front of Zuckerberg and so many Exeter students?" Jamie then asked.

Grace shrugged.

That's because you don't know that every day when you open the school locker, you will find a bunch of inexplicable courtship letters, mobile phone numbers, and emails must be changed regularly, otherwise you will be clogged up with all kinds of harassing calls, text messages, and emails. The most outrageous thing is being a cheerleader and being ostracized by the team because they are all worried that I will take away their boyfriend. ”

Jamie looked up, making sure that Grace was really complaining at the moment, not a high-class Versailles.

"Then why didn't you use this trick earlier?"

Grace's fingers casually tugged at the coffee straw.

"Isn't it easy? Find a fake boyfriend from this school, the probability of being found is too great, and finding a fake boyfriend from another school can't make everyone believe it completely. ”

"The most important thing is that you have to find a fake boyfriend who is good enough to stop those suitors who don't know what to do."

At this, Grace suddenly looked up and gave Jamie a meaningful look.

"It would be even more perfect if this fake boyfriend also had a genuine girlfriend who was beautiful and good enough to make everyone his age jealous."

Jamie, who was eating, was stunned on the spot.

Grace liked Jamie's expression very much now, and explained with a smile:

"It's strange why I know about your girlfriend? Because I'm also following the gossip diva blog, but don't get me wrong, I didn't do it because of you, in fact, I didn't even know that you had come to New York to go to school and become a best-selling fiction writer before following that blog. ”

"The funniest thing is that my mom always thought that the author of 'Percy Jackson' just happened to have the same name and surname as you."

"I'm looking forward to the day when my mom will look at you in the newspaper, in a magazine or on TV."

Jamie laughed along with it, and casually asked:

"Is your mom okay?"

"She divorced my dad two years ago."

Jamie looked at Grace, who said this in a very calm tone, in amazement.

"Sorry, I don't know—"

"It has nothing to do with you, this time my father cheated first and got involved with the new assistant in the law firm, and the other party became pregnant half a year later, so he had to confess to me and my mother."

This news was enough to shock Jamie, but even more outrageous things were yet to come.

Because at the same time that Grace's dad cheated, her mom also cheated.

After the two parties divorced, Grace's mother quickly married her cheating partner, a rich man whose wife had just died.

Grace chose to live with her mother, and then transferred from New York to Exeter High School.

According to Grace, her stepfather was not bad to her.

Especially after Grace's mom gave birth to a boy for her stepfather not long ago, with this little guy as a bond, the relationship between the family has become more harmonious.

Grace's mother has long forgotten Tom, the horse whisperer of the Montana ranch.

As for her father, who was a lawyer, Grace didn't mention much.

Although Grace was talking about these things in a calm tone, Jamie could still feel that her parents' divorce had a big impact on her.

"What about you?"

Grace put down the coffee straw in her hand.

"After talking about so many things about me, you haven't told me how you've spent the past three years, and I believe there are still many things that haven't been revealed on the gossip queen's blog, right?"

Jamie briefly explained why he came to New York from Montana to attend school, and also talked about how he met Serena.

Grace listened with relish.

She had seen a picture of Serena walking against a wall on the gossip queen's blog, and although she hadn't tried it yet, she really wanted to experience the feeling of not being able to walk.

After Jamie had eaten all the food, Grace glanced at the electronic clock on the wall of the dining room and took out her phone to exchange phone numbers with Jamie.

As soon as I turned it on, the text messages came in one after another.
