Her cousin wasn't in the same college, but their classrooms happened to be in the same building, so they'd agreed to walk together after class.

“Cousin!”

As soon as Lenora saw her, she happily jogged over. Ophelia’s eyes softened a bit, and the two walked out of the teaching building hand in hand.

“Ophelia, Nora!” A pitiful voice suddenly called out.

Ophelia and Lenora, mid-conversation, suddenly stopped and simultaneously turned cold.

“Bessie!”

Bessie looked a bit pale, presenting a pitiful appearance. A cold curve lifted at the corners of Ophelia’s lips. Nora was about to confront Bessie about the injustice she had suffered when, unexpectedly, Bessie came to her voluntarily!

“Ophelia, why did you slander me by saying that I seduced Hannah’s boyfriend?” Bessie said with red eyes, looking extremely aggrieved. “I know you favor Nora; after all, she is your cousin, but it was clearly Nora who had an affair with Jasper. This is something everyone knows, and the evidence is undeniable. How could you slander me?”

“Or did you just want to drive me to my death!”

Upon smelling the scent of melon, many people around stopped and looked over. Upon recognizing Bessie, it was inevitable that someone mentioned the previous hotel incident, and immediately everyone started whispering and pointing at her. Bessie felt those gazes and felt extremely uncomfortable. She hated Ophelia to death in her heart. She had anticipated this kind of situation long before she arrived, but she simply couldn’t avoid coming!

That little bitch Ophelia had embarrassed herself so much at the hotel that now almost everyone knew she was just the stepdaughter of the Greene family. Her scores weren't even close to being sufficient; she had been bought in. She even went around claiming the things left by Ophelia’s mother as her own… No one knew how she had been doing these past two days! But she had already been having a hard time, and Ophelia even told someone that it was she who had seduced Jasper! If this matter were to be confirmed, she really would have no place at Ventura University! So today, she had to firmly shift the blame for this black pot back onto Lenora’s head!

Ophelia understood her well and could tell at a glance what she was up to. With a cold smile, she looked over with her icy gaze and said, “Conclusive evidence? Why don’t you tell me, what evidence?”

Bessie: “Jasper gave Nora a Valentine’s Day gift and was caught red-handed by Hannah. Isn’t that enough?!”

“And Jasper himself admitted that the scarf he received was given by Nora!”

“Ophelia, I knew you hated Hannah, so you deliberately sent Nora to seduce her boyfriend. Since you dared to do it, why didn’t you dare to own up to it? What does it mean to splash dirty water on me?”

Bessie was the best at pretending to be pitiful, with a look that seemed on the verge of tears and an expression of extreme grievance. This immediately made many boys feel sorry for her, and they all cast unfriendly glances at Ophelia and Lenora.

Indeed, Ophelia and Lenora weren’t bad-looking, and Ophelia was even much more beautiful than Bessie. However, many men naturally preferred those delicate and innocent women. Compared to the imposing Ophelia, Bessie was certainly more endearing!

Lenora was furious; Bessie was pretending to be such a pure and innocent person! She stood up angrily, so furious that she couldn’t even speak, “Bessie! It was clearly you—”

Ophelia pressed her hand down and protected her behind her. My cousin was too innocent; she was usually a good girl and never argued at all. It was better for her to handle things like this! Lenora was originally furious to the point of exploding, but when she saw her cousin’s calm demeanor, she immediately calmed down and obediently stood at the back, glaring angrily at Bessie. She had a blind admiration for her cousin. With her cousin around, Bessie would definitely be doomed, hum!

Bessie looked at Ophelia’s calm demeanor and inexplicably felt a tightness in her chest—over the past few days, she had suffered too many losses at Ophelia’s hands!

“Bessie. I only asked you a few questions,” Ophelia spoke up, her arms crossed and her gaze disdainful as she looked at Bessie, an invisible pressure falling upon the other person.

“First, you said that I couldn’t stand Hannah, so I deliberately had Nora seduce her boyfriend. Who told you that?”

The first question left Bessie speechless. Under everyone’s gaze, she spoke under pressure: “I figured it out myself, isn’t that right?!”

Ophelia curled her lips into a mocking smile and said casually, “Oh, so it’s just your own baseless speculation, then?”
