Chapter 28
The next morning, Lea had breakfast with Christian, as usual, while feeding the cat, but this time, she was indifferent. She didn’t look at Christian or talk to him.
When she was about to finish eating, Christian said. “Jeffrey will send you to school today.”
Her hand paused, with a meatball on her fork. It seems Jeffrey is the one he trusts most in this family, she pondered. When she was thinking, the cat came up and ate the meatball. She agreed by nodding.
After breakfast, Jeffrey drove her to school. She read all the way. Jeffrey was a quiet man and didn’t say anything until they arrived at the school entrance, “Miss Berry, I’m going to the company. I’ll pick you up after school,” said Jeffrey
“Thanks, Jeffrey Lea picked up her backpack and got out of the car.
When Lea got to the classroom, she saw Helen wiping tears off her pale face on the seat, looking pitiful Lily and some other classmates were comforting her.
“Helen, you’re so
so perfect. That’s why those freaks targeted you”
“Don’t be so sad. The justice will be done.”
“We should care for each other so things like this will never happen again.”
Some boys stepped up and backed up Helen.
“Let’s delete the video on our phones. Sorry for what we did to you, Helen. We didn’t know the whole story?
“No one will ever bring this up, or Il ensure the justice is done.”
“We set up a fan club for you at the school. We will defend your reputation online and protect you.”
“Yeah. Let the bygones be bygones. You’ve been harmed enough”
Lea was stunned. She didn’t expect the twist to come so fast. Helen survived this explosive gossip and became the e victim everyone pitied and wanted to protect. This was beyond Lea’s expectations.
Helen glanced provocatively at her, her eyes filled with triumph. So what if Lea ruined my reputation with the video? I turned the tables so easily. Now, I’m the pitiful victim, and everyone wants to protect me, she thought. Helen lowered her head, and tears brushed down her cheeks.
The girls hurriedly comforted her, and the boys were heartbroken to see her cry.
Lea sneered. She had to admit that, even though Helen was an angelic bitch, she did know how to act. In their past life, Helen entered the show biz and made a name for herself with her family reputation and acting skills.
Lea sat down with a cold face and searched online. She found a confession statement very quickly, Shawn Bowen and Chandler Jensen released the statement together and confessed themselves. They claimed that they got drunk and raped Helen. They apologized to Helen and surrendered to the police.
It changed everything. Helen became an innocent victim who should be protected by everyone due to moral reasons. All the videos online would be taken down. It was less than a month before the
SAT. After that, people in this class would go to colleges in different cities, and this incident would soon be forgotten by everyone.
‘Nice Matilda, What did you sacrifice for y
iry,
e the your daughter? It must have cost you a lot to get these two freaks to release statement. Do you think you can manipulate public opinion and turn wrong into right this way! Not this time, Matilda. I was thinking about how to put these two freaks in jail, and they confessed now. Perfect, thought Lea.
The class began. Everyone went back to their seats. Helen looked at Lea, and their eyes locked. She saw the cold smile in Lea’s eyes and was instantly creeped out. She could only rest assured when Lea died
In class, the first thing was handing out grades from yesterday’s exams. Lea scored full marks on the first subject, which the class found surprising. Then, the other exam papers were distributed. She aced all four subjects, making her the only student to do so and ranked as number one in
school
The class went wild.
“No way! She made ju
“So she had been pretending all the time? Is she really a genius? And she has a stunning face.”
“What about Helen then?”
“No more nonsense!” Laly interrupted them. “Helen didn’t take the exam because of what had happened to her. If she had, she would have nailed it. Am I right, Helen?”
All the gazes fell on Helen. Helen nodded confidently. “Lily’s right. I will go to Conrad with a perfect GPA. It has been my goal for years. All she needed to do was to play the brainiac and genius, and Matilda would give her perfect grades. Her eyes were still red, with tears in them, and all the boys, including some of the girls, were instantly heartbroken.
“See This is the real brainiac, unlike someone who had failed every e, the last three years.” Lily was very proud of Helen. She LDİ sarcastically, “I wonder how she
cot full marks anyway.
Everyone’s gaze at Lea suddenly changed, and they were all skeptical, thinking something weird must be going on
“Even if her grades are real, it also creeps me out to think about how she had deceived us for three y
years. Lily continued.
Everyone chewed over what Lily had said, and their expressions changed. Lea revealed her stunning face and got full marks on the exam. People would love a person like her, but they wouldn’t like a dishonest person.
Lea smiled, thinking. Why would I pretend You’ve bullied me for three years, and now, you are asking me why I had been pretending. You didn’t like me when I was a loser. You like me now cause I am pretty and smart. Your likes are so cheap, and I don’t need that. I don’t care what you think of me:
“This exam is hard, and you got full marks. I think that’s really something, Lea. You’re awesome. The voice was so lovely that everyone quieted down and looked over in surprise. It was Zed Jarvan, the school hunk. NôvelDrama.Org content rights.
The Jarvan family was the second most prominent family in Vaporleon after the Berry family and was even more powerful than the Fraley family. Zed got good grades, was always the second best, and often got full marks. Not only did he come from a powerful family, but he also looked like a movie star. So, he was very popular at school and was the dream lover for most girls.
However, Helen was pursuing him, so nobody cared to like him publicly, and those who did were handled by Helen.
Lea frowned at Zed cause he cut in so abruptly. He smiled faintly at her. “Would you like to have lunch together. Lea”
He rarely smiled, so the girls covered their mouths in case they screamed.
Helen’s face twisted. “Zed, you’re my boyfriend. We’re supposed to have lunch together. She almost couldn’t keep her composure. After she saw Alfred last night, her feelings for Zed were gone. However, she had pursued him for three years and was reluctant to give him to Lea. She has taken so many from me my reputation, Grandpa’s love, and now my boyfriend? No way! Helen thought.
Lea was not interested in Zed, but it was fun to see Helen on the verge of blowing up in anger. Lea smiled and didn’t say a word.
In Lea’s past life, after they graduated, Zed and Helen got together. But later, as Helen’s fame in the entertainment industry increased, she went to Iverton. After meeting better men with more outstanding family backgrounds, especially a few from the Andrews family, she aborted their child and forcibly broke up with Zed.
“Hey, Helen! Mind your words. I never agreed to be your boyfriend,” said Zed.
It was a severe blow on Helen. Everyone looked at them, stunned.
