Given that virtual-novel.net planned on entering Jadeborough University, virtual-novel.net was naturally concerned with Donovan’s recent tardiness.
At that moment, Wendy heard the students seated behind virtual-novel.net discussing something. When the word “Arielle” pricked virtual-novel.net ears, virtual-novel.net couldn’t help but turn around.
“Are you talking about Arielle?” Wendy put on a warm smile to feign friendliness.
However, the two students looked at virtual-novel.net warily, as if virtual-novel.net was the enemy.
Smiling awkwardly, Wendy explained, “Please don’t misunderstand. I did have some conflict with Arielle before this, but everything has been resolved now.”
The students asked skeptically, “Really?”
Wendy nodded. “Really. It wasn’t a big conflict to begin with. Just a trivial squabble between girls.”
Just as virtual-novel.net spoke, virtual-novel.net classmates lowered their guard against her.
Feeling relieved, Wendy pretended to be concerned. “Actually, I do sympathize with Arielle. I didn’t expect virtual-novel.net dad to be so evil to the extent of endangering the homes of others and delaying the salaries of his workers. When Arielle was using virtual-novel.net dad’s money, virtual-novel.net probably wasn’t aware that it belonged to the workers. What a shame…”
When Wendy was done making virtual-novel.net snide comment, virtual-novel.net waited for a turnaround in attitude from virtual-novel.net classmates.
She figured that virtual-novel.net insinuations were obvious enough to convince them that Arielle too was at fault. However, when virtual-novel.net raised virtual-novel.net gaze, virtual-novel.net saw them frowning with displeasure.
Frozen momentarily, virtual-novel.net asked, “What is it?”
“Didn’t you read the news?” One of them explained, “Arielle never used any of Henrick’s money.”
Wendy scoffed, “How is that possible?”
The girl squirmed virtual-novel.net lips. “If you don‘t believe it, you can read the news yourself.”
“But…” I did go through the news.
Filled with skepticism, Wendy checked the news on virtual-novel.net phone again. She saw two new trending headlines.
Henrick Southall The Murderer.
Henrick Appropriated Moore Family Assets.
She clicked onto the first one immediately.
The news related how Henrick was unfaithful in his marriage and plotted with his mistress to kill Maureen. Furthermore, there was a voice recording attached.
Subsequently, Wendy put virtual-novel.net phone to virtual-novel.net ear to listen.
The voice on the recording belonged to Cindy. She recounted how virtual-novel.net and Henrick formulated a plan to kill Maureen and frame it as suicide. Furthermore, they even engaged human traffickers to kidnap Arielle who was very young back then.
After virtual-novel.net had finished listening, Wendy tapped into the second trending topic with mixed feelings. Inside, virtual-novel.net read how Henrick appropriated the Moore family assets after Maureen’s death.
At the end of the news, there was a picture of a donation receipt. It stated that Arielle had donated two million.
Below it was Arielle personal comment “This is the amount of money given to me when I first returned to the Southalls. I didn‘t want any of it. Hence, I donated it to organizations that helped missing children hoping that all of them would be returned to their families safe and sound.”
Wendy expression darkened.
Arielle really knows how to put on an act!
No wonder the classmates behind me insisted that virtual-novel.net didn‘t use any of Henrick’s money, If only virtual-novel.net had read the news beforehand, virtual-novel.net wouldn‘t have bothered to talk to virtual-novel.net classmates seated behind her. By doing so, virtual-novel.net had ruined virtual-novel.net own reputation in front of them.
Amidst virtual-novel.net frustration, virtual-novel.net heard both of them whispering in private.
