Chapter 61 – That’s his water. He just drank it.
Emily felt a little sad, she thought that she had met someone who really knew how to paint, but she …
She sighed inwardly, and a flash of loss crossed her eyes.
She quietly watched Nick for a moment, wondering what he thought about the fact that his designer was a mistress.
But Nick was too calm. He picked up the tea brought by the waiter and gently sipped it, as if all the turmoil here had nothing to do with him.
Someone whispered.
“So pretty! Too bad she’s a mistress, but still very confident looking.”
“Whose family did she really break? Has she been a mistress since she was a student?”
“It’s a shame for that looks.”
“Don’t you guys think she has thick skin? Things were exposed, and it’s amazing that she’s still so calm.”
Unconsciously, the crowd’s eyes went back towards Victoria, who stood quietly, a slight frown on her face at the moment.
“Don’t Mrs. Thornton and Miss Reynolds know that you are responsible for what you say?”
Victoria slowly pulled out her cell phone, looking cold, “Mrs. Thornton, I’ve already given you a chance.”
Olivia Thornton’s voice came from the phone, after the play button of recording was pressed.
“Who would believe you, an alleged plagiarist? Back then you tried to seduce Richard Steele and were chased at the school by his wife who threw paint all over you. It was a big deal, it’s been a few years since the incident though. I’m a Director now, do you think everyone has forgotten about it?”Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
.….
“Mr. Steele has been asking me about you a lot.”
“You’re just a designer in a small studio now, would Mr. Steele go after you if he found out about your whereabouts? After all, he’s still regretting that he didn’t succeed in banging you back then.”
Like a thunderbolt on the flat ground.
Victoria finished playing the recording, her fingertips gently squeezing her phone.
“Mrs. Thornton, how about you tell everyone whose mistress I was, your old lover Richard Steele? What a pity, in the recording you also admitted, back then I was forced by you and him together. I resisted to the death. You guys, in order to force me to comply, put out a rumor that I plagiarized. Those works with which I entered into the competition were returned, and almost made me not get my diploma. Mrs. Thornton is really high up nowadays, I wonder how many students were forced by you so much that they were sent to Richard Steele’s bed.”
Olivia Thornton’s face was instantly as white as paper, with the last vestiges of blood gone.
Victoria smiled at the police and pointed to Olivia Thornton.
“Sir, not only am I suing Ms. Reynolds for defamation, I’m also suing the Director of Veridian University for slandering a student and for coercing a student to accompany an investor, and as far as coercing me, the evidence is on her cell phone.”
That video that Olivia Thornton used to threaten Victoria was now the most favorable evidence.
It was Veridian University, and with so many big shots today, how dare the police not be strict about it? Someone rushed to get Olivia Thornton’s cell phone.
Olivia Thornton went limp and looked to the principal for help.
The principal’s face also turned gray, his lips trembled twice, and he almost fainted outright.
Olivia Thornton’s cell phone was taken over, and she had a hidden file full of videos of schoolgirls she’d once forced with that trick.
Some girls were never the same and gave up their education altogether.
Some people didn’t even get their diplomas. They were hospitalized and lost confidence in themselves and society.
The studio at the Academy of Fine Arts was big, big enough to hold all kinds of trophies, but it was also small, too small to hold the dreams of a group of girls.
When the police saw the videos, their faces changed and silver handcuffs were cuffed to Olivia Thornton’s hands.
“Mrs. Thornton, the evidence is overwhelming. Come with us.”
After that, the cop turned back to Chloe Reynolds.
“Miss Reynolds, please come with us for a statement as well.”
Chloe Reynolds was completely confused in her head as to how things got to this point and what the hell was going on?
Olivia Thornton, on the other hand, was so weak that she was paralyzed and couldn’t get up.
Done!
It was all over.
Not only did that video not threaten Victoria, it even became evidence that pushed herself off the deep end.
How did this happen…?
She grabbed the principal’s pant leg almost as if asking for help.
“Headmaster! Help me! You were involved in what happened to her back then! Didn’t you all acquiesce to me doing this?”
The principal took a step back in fear, and even tried to kick her away.
At the moment Olivia Thornton was just too panicked and was eager to grab this life-saving straw.
The police officer’s eyes couldn’t help but look at Victoria, who was trying to ask her whether the principal was innocent or not.
This matter already involved a lot of people and was in public, they absolutely did not dare to be negligent.
Victoria raised an eyebrow, “Dear Principal! Mrs. Thornton is talking about you, won’t you come out and explain?”
The principal’s face was ashen and gray, not daring to look Victoria in the eyes, and without the momentum he had just had. In the end he just closed both his eyes and simply fainted.
The police had no choice but to take the person away for questioning, even if they were already passed out.
Olivia Thornton was pushed forward and looked back at Victoria viciously.
“Bitch! You bitch! I should have totally screwed you over back then.”
“How could I lose to a student who is nothing?”
Back then Victoria was at their mercy. How was it possible that after just a few short years she had managed to push them so hard?
There was silence in the room, and no one spoke.
Numerous eyes rested on Victoria, but Victoria just sat down again in her seat, brought over a glass, and took a sip of water.
Nick was sitting beside her and frowned a little; it was his water, and she’d just drunk it.
