Chapter 69: Chapter 73

.

Chapter 73 1/2 Clara was in a hurry to leave. But unexpectedly, she was just about to walk away when a classmate at the entrance of the classroom shouted, “Clara! The director is asking for you!”

When Clara heard that, she tensed up.

Just then, the director walked out as well. Pointing at Clara’s leaving figure, he said, “You. Stop right there.

Clara’s back seemed to stiffen, and when she turned around, she said carefully, “Y–yes, it’s me.”

“Are you from Dorm 317?”

Clara nodded, unsure why the director had asked that question.

“Is Jenny Lawson in the same dorm?”

“.... Yes, she is.”

Clara subconsciously looked at Jenny, who was nearby.

Jenny froze. The director looked at her as well.

“You’re Jenny Lawson?”

Jenny nodded stiffly.

The director lowered his head and glanced at the complaint letter in his hand. He said, “Someone reported that you have faked some rumors and spread them in school. It has severely affected the school and also the reputation of a female student here.”

As the director spoke, he showed Jenny the leaflet depicting Maeve photoshopped on a revealing photo. Did you do this?”

When Jenny saw that, she was stunned. She hastily explained, “It wasn’t me! I never did that! I didn’t do this!”

“According to our investigations, this photo was photoshopped, and the contents of this leaflet are untrue. Please cooperate with our investigations.”

When Jenny heard the director saying that, she was about to say something when Clara stepped forth and said, “Jenny! How could you do something like that? I know that you’re standing up for me, but you can’t... You can’t just fake photos and falsely accuse someone else.”

Jenny looked at Clara in shock.

She wasn’t the one who did it at all!

Tiffany immediately stepped forward and said, “It couldn’t have been Jenny. We’re always together, so she can’t possibly have time to paste this on the bulletin board!”

“We’re letting you off with a verbal warning this time. If you do it again, we’ll report this to the local police IP Chapter 73 and let them handle the case.”

With that, the director and the people following him left the classroom.

Jenny felt like all her energy was depleted. She lay weakly in Tiffany’s arms, constantly mumbling, “It wasn’t me... I didn’t do it at all.”

2/2 With that, Jenny looked up at Clara, who was standing opposite them. “Clara, why did you say that just now?”

“I–I honestly thought that you were the one who did it...”

Clara looked wounded as well.

Tiffany glared at Clara and said, “Clara, you’ve gone too far just now! Don’t you know that if you put it like that, everyone will think that Jenny was the one behind it?”

Clara’s tears streamed down her face when she heard Tiffany’s reprimands.

This time, Jenny didn’t speak up for Clara anymore.

Taking Jenny’s hand, Tiffany said angrily, “Let’s go!”

Even though Clara had a foul look on her face, she secretly sighed in relief. Either way, this incident was over. Now, no one would know that she was the culprit.

News of the director’s investigation quickly spread, and it reached Maeve’s ears as well.

Maeve was eating in the cafeteria. She asked, “Did you do that?”

Sheldon was sitting opposite Maeve. Stuffing some pasta in his mouth, he said, “No way. Why would I do something like that?

Also, they ended with just a verbal warning. If I were to do it, I’d make sure she gets expelled.”

That was true. With Sheldon’s personality, he would either refrain from doing anything or give his opponents hell.

“Then who could have done that?”

Maeve frowned.

If the person wanted to target the culprit, they would have given Clara trouble. However, the person had pinned the blame on Jenny on purpose instead. In the end, despite all the ruckus, Jenny was let off with a verbal warning, and Clara was unscathed.

At that moment, Maeve caught sight of Charlie, who was walking past her with a bun in his mouth while carrying a tray of food.
