Bossy CEO and His Cute Wife

Chapter 49 Gossip

In the following days, Euralia recovered as she used to be. She attended classes on time every day. But now she was alone no matter where she went.

She gradually felt that people around her all tried to avoid her these days. At first, she thought it was just her illusion, so she didn't care.

After class, she was so bored that she went shopping alone. Unexpectedly, she ran into Lily, her roommate, who was shopping with some other classmates.

Euralia felt very puzzled. After class, she went to see Lily, and Lily said she had no time. Why was she shopping with other classmates now?

Euralia actually felt a little bit lonely since her relationship with Mandy broke up, and all her classmates seemed to begin to repel her.

But since Lily didn't want to accompany her, she didn't want to force her, and she didn't say anything.

However, at the moment, she felt so bored that even shopping couldn't light up her passion.

"Miss, do you like this dress?"

With the clothes in her hands, Euralia looked at Lily and other girls not far away and was in a daze. The sales clerk stood next to her and asked her several times.

"I'll have a look again."

Then she put the clothes down and left the shop.

Bill followed her here after she left school. He got off work early so that he could pick her up home. When he saw she got into a taxi alone, he was worried and followed.

Euralia went outside and took a seat at the Starbucks. She was drinking while playing with her mobile phone.

"Your clothes."

Bill suddenly appeared and bought the clothes that she had been holding in her hands for a long time and gave it to her.

"Bill, why are you here?" She was surprised.

"I just passed by and saw you sitting here alone."

"I was bored, so I wandered around alone. Let's go home now." She didn't want her classmates to see her sit with her brother. She was afraid of being misunderstood, so she pulled him away as soon as he sat down.

Bill picked up the clothes obediently and followed her out.

What Euralia didn't know was that there were students of the SY University behind them, pointing at their backs and whispering.

"It's so strange." Turning her head, Euralia gave her schoolmates a quick glance.

They immediately lowered their heads and continued drinking their beverages.

"What's wrong?" Bill stopped and asked.

"Nothing." Euralia didn't tell her brother about it. He would investigate it if she told him, and she didn't want to bother anybody.

She had him to accompany her back home. And she could only talk to the two rabbits.

"Ted, Lola, why don't they talk to me these days?"

She lowered her eyes and reached out to stroke the rabbits, feeling a little aggrieved.

After holding them and mumbling to herself for a long time, she finally fell asleep.

A new day had just begun. Euralia mustered up her energy to go to the school.

As soon as she entered the campus, she warmly greeted all her classmates, but their silent response dampened her passion.

She found that no one was willing to respond to her when she greeted them, and some even directly ignored the fact that they did not want to go with her.

Every time she walked in the school, there were a lot of students around discussing her.

Euralia found it odd, because recently, she was actually attending classes on time, eating and sleeping as usual. Nothing serious happened. But why did they look at her like that?

Out of curiosity, she saw Lily passing by, who refused to go shopping with her yesterday. She followed her immediately and greeted her.

"Well, Lily, you came to school so early too."

"Morning, Euralia."

Lily smiled awkwardly and then quickened her pace, obviously trying to avoid her.

Euralia quickened her pace as well to catch up with her. Lily used to have a good relationship with her. The days she lived in the dormitory, Lily took good care of her.

But why did she give her a cold shoulder now? She must make it clear.

"Lily, wait for me. Did you also go shopping yesterday?"

Euralia trotted over, held Lily's hand and asked.

"Euralia, I have something urgent to deal with. Maybe next time." Lily shook off her hand and left in a hurry.

At the sight of her indifference, Euralia stopped and felt somehow sad deep in the heart. Her friendship with Mandy just broke up, and now Lily even ignored her.

She even didn't know what wrong she had done. And there were many strangers passing by and pointing fingers at her. She really had the urge to question them, but she held it back.

She didn't do anything wrong anyway. A quiet conscience sleeps in thunder!

So she strode towards the classroom.

The moment she stepped in the classroom, her classmates all shifted their eyes to her. She just had a glance at them. Then she walked to her seat with her head held high.

She kept telling herself that no matter what happened, she didn't have to worry about nor be afraid. She didn't care if she was isolated!

However, her classmate Lily suddenly shouted.

"My stuff is missing."

All the people present, including Euralia, looked at the her at once.

"What is it?" The girl sitting next to Lily asked.

"There is a pen which is very vital to me. I put it in my bag. But it is gone." Lily continued to rummage through her drawer and handbag.

"Keep looking. Maybe you had lost it on the way." The students in the class were all enthusiastically going up to help.

Without hesitation, Euralia went to help as well.

"Lily, is this pen?"

While her classmates were trying to help her to find it, a girl opened Euralia's drawer and shouted.

This pen was made of pure gold, and it was a gift from Lily's family.

Lily trotted towards the desk and saw the pen lying there quietly.

Dumbfounded, Euralia looked at the pen in the drawer, unable to defend herself. She had got caught. Now she couldn't even clear herself.

They all looked at her complicatedly and Euralia felt so wronged that she was about to cry bitterly.

But she held back her tears. At this moment, it was even harder to prove her innocence if she shed tears.

"Lily, I didn't steal it." Explained Euralia immediately.

Lily glared at her with disappointment.

"Euralia, I didn't expect you to be such a person. It was you who grabbed me to steal my pen just now. You are angry with me for not going shopping with you yesterday, aren't you?"

"No, I didn't." Euralia looked so helpless.

Her classmates started to speak for Lily and made complaints about her.

"I didn't expect her to be a mistress. And now she is even a thief." A girl in her class who had long been jealous of Euralia's beauty began to taunt her.

'Mistress! What was going on?'

When Euralia heard that she suddenly became a thief and mistress, she was stunned.

"Yes. Does she think that everybody have to obey her because she is of the Ou family? Lily, you'd better keep away from such people in the future. You didn't go shopping with her yesterday, and she stole your pen. Don't you think she will ask someone to plot against you tomorrow?"

Another girl jeered at her.

"I'm not a thief or a mistress. What the hell is going on?" Euralia yelled angrily.

She was innocent, but now she was also accused of being a mistress. Not only they hated mistresses, she did as well.

"Euralia, are you still pretending to know nothing? Everyone knows how close I was with her before, but in the end she seduced the boyfriend of my friend."

Mandy suddenly appeared and had dirt on her in front of everyone. Euralia was well-known in the campus. After all, It was known to all that her brother Bill was a shareholder of the school.

Mandy used to stick with her all the time, and her classmates all knew about it. People who had such a good relationship with her were always trustworthy.

And everyone was deceived by Mandy's lies and they all believed that Euralia was a mistress.

"Mandy, you are slinging mud at me!" Retorted Euralia. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

"Today, everyone saw that you has stolen that pen. It's not surprising that people like you can break others up.

Mandy had tried her best to instigate the students to believe that Euralia is a mistress.

And she came here today to make everyone believe that she was the one to be a mistress, and now the matter that she stole a pen made her character more suspicious.

"When did I become a mistress? Don't talk nonsense if you don't have any evidence. I didn't steal Lily's pen either!" Euralia continued to refute her, even though the words were quite weak at this moment.

"Don't hide your nature any more. I only broke with you after seeing through you," Mandy snorted, feeling elated.

She had lost face in front of others these days, so this time she could totally vent her anger.

"Mandy, isn't that enough?" Euralia didn't tell anyone that Mandy asked someone to kidnap her. In fact, she didn't ask her brother to do anything to her.

But Mandy actually became more insistent and even worse to trap her into the ruthless world.

"I knew you would cover up some lies to slander me after I debunked you. But we have seen it with our own eyes. No one will believe you."

Mandy had won the most trust from her classmates.

And some of her classmates echoed. They began to blame Euralia.

"Euralia, you are not welcome in our class."

"Euralia, I didn't expect you to be a mistress."

All sorts of criticism rang in her ears. She squatted down sadly and covered her ears. She did not want to listen!

But Mandy didn't want to give up. She still believed that the reason why Bill was so cold to her was because of Euralia. She pulled her up directly.

She wanted to see her poor face and her helpless expression. Her brother was not here, and no one could help her. She was extremely happy.

"Let go of me. I hate you." Euralia stood up and pushed Mandy away.

This time, Mandy didn't refute. Instead, she fell to the ground on purpose.

Then she sat on the ground and pointed at her, looking so aggrieved. "Hey, my classmates. This is her! She began to retaliate against me after I exposed her tricks."

At this moment, Euralia felt that she had been wronged so much, and the only person she could turn to was Lily. As far as she knew about Lily before, she shouldn't have questioned her.

Because she knew what the pen meant to Lily, which was told by her personally. But why did Lily suddenly take her side with Mandy and treat her like this?

Was it a trap set up by Mandy? Did Lily have her difficulties?

Euralia walked to Lily and asked.

"Lily, do you really think I stole this pen?"

There was still a glimmer of hope in her eyes as she believed in Lily's kindness.

Lily clutched the pen in her hand tightly and looked at Mandy.
