Chapter 111: He Wouldnโt Dare Fire Her
โDid you see the posts on the forum? Do you know that some old man is keeping Olivia, and she even has an illegitimate daughter whoโs already grown up?โ a girl in the class asked.
Sophia wore a conflicted expression as she replied, โPlease donโt say things like that. If it gets out, itโll hurt Oliviaโs reputation. After all, sheโs a girlโฆโ
Sophiaโs words seemed to defend Olivia, but they also subtly confirmed the shocking accusations in the post!
โSo itโs all real! I never imagined sheโd be that kind of person!โ
โDidnโt you see Benjamin and Lucas come looking for her first thing this morning? Thereโs no way the post is entirely fake. When have those two ever cared about anyone else this much?โ
Sophia listened to the gossip with a trace of amusement in her eyes, though her face remained one of hesitation. โWeโre all schoolmates. I think Olivia will figure things outโฆ Please stop talking about it. If this gets around, how will she ever hold her head up again?โ
Sophiaโs apparent concern only reinforced the belief that Olivia was indecent and shameless.
โHold her head up? Sheโs already done it; whatโs the use of hiding now?โ
โHer shamelessness knows no bounds! Sheโs just stirring up trouble.โ
Using the restroom as an excuse, Sophia entered a stall, took out her phone, and logged into the campus forum. She added more explosive details to the anonymous post.
Seeing the growing flood of insults and attacks, Sophiaโs face lit up with satisfaction and spite. After leaking more rumors, she began anonymously commenting on the post, pouring out her resentment towards Olivia in a stream of hateful remarks.
โIs there anyone who still doesnโt believe it? Benjamin and Lucas both went to find Olivia earlier. Honestly, I have to admire Oliviaโs skills. Sheโs got these guys completely hooked. Thatโs not something just anyone can master.โ
After posting this, Sophia added another comment, this time openly using her real name.
โStop commenting on this thread. Olivia isnโt that kind of person.โ
As expected, Sophiaโs public defense of Olivia was immediately met with ridicule. People flooded the replies, calling her foolish and telling her to face reality. Some even suggested that Sophia was too innocent and had been manipulated by Olivia.
Satisfied with the reactions, Sophia put her phone away, a smirk playing on her lips. She couldnโt wait to see how Olivia would deal with this disaster.
Meanwhile, Isabella tried to speak up for Olivia in the thread, hoping to shift public opinion. However, her attempts at defense were lost among the thousands of comments and had no effect.

Chapter 111: He Wouldnโt Dare Fire Her
Hidden behind the veil of anonymity, people posted vile and demeaning comments, attacking Olivia relentlessly. Some even suggested Olivia should be expelled from St. Rona Academy, accusing her of tarnishing the schoolโs name.
The situation spiraled out of control. As Olivia walked through the campus, whispers and insults followed her everywhere. Students openly accused her of being shameless.
For a prestigious school like this, a scandal involving a student being kept as a mistress and having an illegitimate child was explosive. Those with malicious intent ensured the rumors reached the principal.
The dean and several instructors proposed Oliviaโs expulsion, claiming her behavior would tarnish the schoolโs reputation.
In response to the mounting pressure, the principal locked himself in his office, refusing to entertain any discussions.
If youโre all so eager to dig your own graves, go ahead! Just donโt involve me! Expel Olivia? Are you kidding me? No matter what trouble she causes, I wouldnโt dare expel her!
Though the principal stood his ground, refusing to expel Olivia, the rumors surrounding her continued to spread uncontrollably throughout the school.
