Chapter 125
Before she finished speaking, Ophelia suddenly lifted her foot!
โAh!โ
Jasper was caught off guard and kicked to the ground! Before he could get up, the girlโs shoe suddenly stepped on his face! Ophelia looked down from above, her presence commanding and impressive, as a cold smile curled on her stunning face.
โWasnโt he quite good at talking nonsense? Go on!โ
The scene was deathly silent. Everyone was dumbfounded. Almost no one anticipated Opheliaโs actions!
Wow! Thisโฆ !
Lenora held her face in her hands and looked dizzily at the figure in front of her.
- Ahhhh, my cousin was so cool!!
โOphelia!!โ Bessie couldnโt help but scream, rushing forward. โWhat are you doing? Why are you hitting someone?!โ
Ophelia sneered, โHe was allowed to talk nonsense, but I wasnโt allowed to fight back?โ
Bessie: โBut how could you take action-โ
Ophelia: โIโm sorry, Iโm not good with words and I canโt express myself well, so I can only take action.โ
Others: โโฆโ
The previous sentence hit the nail on the head. Who was the one that cornered Bessie with words? Was it a ghost??
โYou, youโฆ!!โ Jasper struggled to speak, his voice filled with despair and anger. He didnโt expect that Ophelia would take action without saying a word! Ophelia sneered and stamped her foot down hard.
โAhโฆ!!โ Jasper cried out in pain, his miserable appearance completely lacking the charm of the previous โmale god.โ Opheliaโs gaze was cold and showed no signs of fluctuation.
โThe fact is not something that can be concluded with a few of your twisted words. Nora seduced you? Ha!โ
He looked at Bessie again and said, โYou are innocent? Hmph!โ
โGarbage is just garbage; no matter how much it is disguised or concealed, it cannot become a person! The truth is what it is, and it will be revealed next Monday!โ
After saying that, she moved her foot and said, โNora, go!โ
Ophelia turned to leave with her cousin, her silhouette and posture exuding an indescribable elegance that deeply captivated everyoneโs attention. The scene was silent until her figure completely disappeared, and only then did someone speak up.
โI wondered why I felt that Ophelia didnโt seem like someone who would wrongfully accuse othersโฆโ
โOh, I also thought so. Oh, she was so cool! I was about to bend!โ
Bessie looked very pale. Seeing that most of the people around her had been captivated by Ophelia and were starting to doubt her and Jasper, she pinched her palm, suddenly reddened her eyes, and tears began to fall.
โI knew I was a stepdaughter, but did that mean I deserved to be slandered?โ
โPreviously. Lenora tried to frame me, but I didnโt hold it against her; I simply returned her things and acted as if nothing had happened. Yet, my tolerance and generosity became the reason I deserved to be bullied, didnโt they?โ
โAfter failing once, they came again for a second time. They really wanted to ruin my reputation completely!โ
She cried pitifully, almost unable to make a sound.
Jasper had already been helped up by someone. He suppressed the anger and pain in his eyes and said, โBessie, Iโm sorry. I didnโt expect that Nora and her cousin would be so hateful towards you, insisting on placing the blame on youโฆโ
He smiled bitterly and said, โI always thought Nora was a simple girl, but I never expected her thoughts to be so malicious!โ
Jasper was quite well-known at school and was a prominent figure. Many girls regarded him as a male idol, and there were quite a few people who were willing to believe what he said.
Looking at Jasperโs polite yet distant attitude towards Bessie, it completely seemed like they were not familiar with each other at all. How could it resemble an affair?
Seeing Bessie crying pitifully again, someone immediately believed her.
โBessie, you can rest assured, we believed in you! Did she, Ophelia, want to slander you? Did we think we were blind fools?โ
โYes, Bessie, we believed you!โ
Most of the speakers were boys, and the looks they gave Bessie were filled with pity and heartache. Unlike their unfamiliarity with Ophelia, they were very familiar with Bessie, whom they had always regarded as a goddess, this gentle and kind girl. They were not unaware of the hotel incident, but after a brief feeling of unease, their emotions of sympathy for the girl prevailed.
Did Bessie commit some unforgivable mistake? She simply did not clearly state that she was just the stepdaughter of the Greene family; everything else was just wild speculation from others, and had nothing to do with Bessie. She was a stepdaughter, a status that was inherently pitiful, and this was likely a scar for her. Did anyone expect this fragile girl to step forward and actively reveal her own scar to others?
