Chapter 322: Chapter 325

Comparing her current husband, who donated building, money, and facilities, to her ex, Richard, who spread rumors and vilified her after he cheated on her, the former was obviously way better.

After everyone gazed at Richard, he blushed in embarrassment and shouted angrily, “I have nothing to do with what has happened this time. I didn’t write that hate post!”

He was indeed taking the fall for someone—he wasn’t the culprit for the previous incident and had been totally wrongly accused. However, he wouldn’t take the blame again!

“It has nothing to do with you?!”

Suddenly, Sophia walked toward Richard with the loudspeaker in his direction and questioned him in an overbearing manner, “Richard, may I ask how is the progress of resolving the previous incident where you instructed someone to vilify me on the forum by spreading rumors that I bought a male schoolmate?

The trick of this incident seems exactly the same as the one you used in the past to spread rumors about me. I have every reason to think that you posted this too. What do you think, Richard?”

Upon being stared at by the students, he felt extremely embarrassed. He was the eldest son of a notable family, which is the Harper Family, so pride was important to him. His face immediately became grave while he shouted, “I honestly didn’t do it this time, so I will not admit to it. If you think that I did it, please show me the evidence.”

After that, he wanted to calmly walk away.

Sophia gave a look at the male classmates from the gay school before they instantly surrounded Richard.

She decided to take the opportunity to settle accounts with him today.

“Fine. Since you claim that you didn’t do it this time, I trust that you’re telling the truth. However, I still remember what you previously did. The Harpers have spread rumors about me many times and I clearly remember each of them. Let me tell you upfront today, Richard.

I’ve never met such a shameless man like you. Since we’ve split up, please don’t disturb my life anymore. You’re the eldest son of the notable Harper Family—an eminent and reputable family.

Please act according to your family background! I’m married and my husband loves and trusts me. No matter how you vilify me, you won’t harm me in any way. However, please don’t involve Bayside University whenever you spread rumors about me!”

It was true—the rumor that he spread about the scandal that she hired a male schoolmate had caused a sensation. It was not only circulated in Bayside University, but also among the high-society, causing it to be emphasized and became a disgrace of Bayside University.

Up until that moment, the university’s reputation had not recovered. Those who didn’t know the truth mocked that it had an unrighteous and unethical study environment, so it didn’t deserve to be the best university in Cethos.

Now that a similar incident had occurred again, everyone would hear the rumor that the vice chancellor had married a female student in a couple more days’ time, tarnishing the reputation of Bayside University. The person who started the rumor was truly evil!

Due to Richard’s previous record, everyone unanimously believed that it was him, even though he had denied it.

In that instant, everyone pointed and discussed about him.

“It’s a pity that her husband, who donates building and money, is being slandered. What an unethical act!”

“He’s the one who cheated on her. Yet, he can’t stand seeing his ex living a good life. He must be the culprit. There’s no one who will do that except him!”

“He hasn’t learned his lesson after being sued and fined for spreading rumors that she aborted her baby and is promiscuous. What a shameless man!”

He wanted to leave since criticisms were being rained on him. However, right when he turned, he was scolded by Stanley, causing him to retreat. Stanley glared at him. “You’re leaving? Not before you explain everything! Tell us, did you do it this time?”

Richard immediately refuted, “I didn’t! It’s not me. I didn’t do it. I’ve never done it and will never ever do it!”

Stanley spoke loudly, “Are you still denying it? Other than you, who will do such a thing? If you don’t give us an explanation, I won’t let you leave!”

Glancing around, Richard saw that Sophia was glaring at him while the vice chancellor stared at him, waiting for his explanation. His classmates were concurrently showering him with gazes full of contempt.

He was a grown man with repute and notability. How would he be able to withstand those gazes?

What about the main culprits?

Joe was ransacking his mind to establish a connection with the vice chancellor while Faye hid in the crowd, enjoying Richard’s misfortunes.

There was also Xyla…

Suddenly, Richard pointed at her. “It’s her. She did all of these!”

She was also the culprit for the blame that Richard previously received, but he wouldn’t take the blame for her again!

He immediately revealed everything. “Xyla is the daughter of Huffs Technology’s President. Huffs Technology produces many sneak shot robots, which was used to take all those photos onto the forum.

Not only that, but she is also the one who instructed someone to post the rumor that Sophia hired a male classmate. Since Xyla is my fiancée, I took the blame for her!”

Looking at her, he finally found a reason to extricate himself out of the embarrassing situation. “In addition, she also instigated my sister to spread rumors that Sophia is pregnant. She’s behind all these.

My sister has also been duped by her!”

Simultaneously, everyone averted their gazes to Xyla, who was among the crowd.

Her mind buzzed at once while it went completely blank. In disbelief, she stared at him as he pushed all the blame to her in public and thought that she misheard it. She was trembling as she walked out with tears instantly streaming down her cheeks. “Richard, what did you say?”

By that point, Richard had sufficient confidence. Huffs Technology’s vitality was sapped and continuing the relationship with her would only burden the Harper Family. Therefore, it was better for him to push all the blame to her.

Keeping a distance, he said to Xyla without any guilt in his eyes, “Xyla, I’ve always taken the blame for you whenever you have made a mistake because you’re my only love.

However, I hope that you can grow up one day. You made an outrageous mistake this time. I’m sorry, but I can no longer take the blame for you. I know that you hate Sophia and want to take revenge on her.

However, your actions have severely damaged the reputation of Bayside University!”

She still had trouble believing what she had heard. With her face soiled in tears, she asked, “Richard, what did you say? Can you repeat your words?”

He had made up his mind in the blink of an eye. “Xyla, I’ll ask my parents to pay a visit and discuss calling off the engagement later. I’m sorry.”

Everyone was in an uproar—they were shocked that Xyla was the main culprit!

It had been him taking the blame for her all along?

It seemed that Richard was still a responsible man.

Xyla laughed when she suddenly understood how it felt when everyone started to flee after an influential person fell from power.

Since Huffs Technology was tied down in issues, not only could he defend his reputation by pushing all the blame onto her, but he could also find a suitable reason to break off the engagement with the Huffs.

What a wise step!

After stumbling upon a solution to leave from the embarrassing situation, he couldn’t wait to leave.

However, Stanley blocked his way right after he turned.

Sophia also stopped Richard with her loudspeaker. “Richard, don’t you think that you’ll be out of trouble by pushing the blame to others and leaving like that!”

He pointed at Xyla in annoyance. “This woman is the one who did everything. Please deal with her. I have nothing to do with this at all!”
