Chapter 101
“Elvira, don’t be impulsive. If you really don’t want to apologize to Nina… I’ll kneel and apologize to her on your behalf. I’ll beg for her forgiveness!” Judy knelt in Nina’s direction and begged anxiously. “Nina, please forgive my sister for attacking you back then. I’m willing to kneel and apologize to you, and I’m willing to compensate you for the financial loss you suffered on behalf of my sister!”
Judy’s actions caused an uproar in the room, arousing the righteous indignation of some alumni.
“Elvira, aren’t you going too far? You’re the one who did something wrong. Is it so difficult for you to apologize? Your entire family is already willing to pay for your mistake, but you’re still being willful?”
“That’s right. Look how sensible your sister is. If you were in the wrong, just admit it and apologize. If you had apologized earlier, wouldn’t this matter be over long ago?”
“Your family came to help you resolve the matter, but you still want to sever ties with them. Aren’t you being too ungrateful?”
“Judy, stop it! The person who should kneel to the victim is Elvira!”
“Yes! Elvira should be the one kneeling and apologizing.”
“If Elvira doesn’t apologize today, I’ll be the first to ostracize her! Apologize!”
“Kneel and apologize!”
For a moment, the crowd was furious, shouting for Elvira to apologize. Judy’s gesture and speech instantly ignited everyone’s emotions. Everyone’s disgust for Elvira had reached a peak.
Amber and Zoey came over together to help Judy up. However, Judy was determined not to get up. She had gained everyone’s support for apologizing on behalf of her sister’s wrongdoing.
Calvin glared at Elvira angrily. He was extremely disappointed in her.
Marsh was also furious. His face was red. He felt embarrassed to have such a sister!
Zach’s heart ached when he saw Elvira standing there, being accused by everyone. He stepped forward and held her hand tightly again, assuring Elvira that he would be by her side no matter what happened.
No matter what others said, Elvira was unmoved. She stared at Nina without any emotion. Nina watched as everyone stood on her side, smiling mockingly. Her eyes were filled with hatred. She thought, ‘Elvira Willis, it was because of you that I was disfigured and crippled. I will never let you off in this life. Not only do I want you to compensate me, but I also want you to be reviled by the country. You will be so humiliated that you can’t go out in the daylight. You will suffer forever!’
“Elvira, you unfilial daughter! Don’t you know your mistake?” Karen felt embarrassed when she saw everyone’s disdain for Elvira.
“Elvira, hurry up and apologize!” Everyone couldn’t believe that Elvira was still unwilling to apologize. Someone picked up a glass angrily and threw it at Elvira.
Zach immediately carried Elvira up to dodge the glass. Because of that, the others followed suit, picking up things and throwing them at Elvira angrily. They wanted her to apologize.
Zach tried his best to protect Elvira. When the things those people threw hit Zach’s back, his bodyguards immediately went forward to help their boss.
Elvira watched as some of the things hit Zach. Her eyes grew colder. She suddenly pushed Zach away and scolded loudly. “I think that you’re all top students from Vilze University and well-known people from all walks of life! You believe Nina Shaw’s words without listening to the other side of the story. There’s something else you might not know. Elena woke up a month ago!”
Elvira’s voice was loud and stern, making everyone quiet and getting their attention. When Nina heard that Elena had woken up, she panicked. She immediately retorted, “That’s impossible! Back then, the doctor said that the chances of Elena waking up in this lifetime are less than one percent!”
“Even if she only has a one in ten thousand chance of waking up, she still woke up. Maybe Elena doesn’t want a murderer like you to get away with it?” Elvira said sarcastically.
“Elvira, don’t try to deceive everyone here! Even if Elena really wakes up, you are still the murderer! She and I are the victims!” Nina felt that Elvira was lying. Nina thought, How can Elena wake up? It is a one-in-a-million chance. Can she be so lucky?
“Is that so, Nina? It has been a long time. Do you still remember me?” A weak voice sounded. The voice was not loud; if one didn’t listen carefully, they wouldn’t be able to hear it. Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a middle-aged woman pushing a frail-looking woman in a patient’s uniform into the dining room. Beside her was a middle-aged man with white hair. The family of three was accompanied by a few police officers.
When Nina saw Elena, it was as if she had seen a ghost. She avoided eye contact with Elena and quickly looked at Judy, still kneeling on the ground. Judy used her eyes to signal to Nina not to panic.
Nina tried her best to calm herself down. When the incident happened, only she, Elena, and Elvira were present. There was no fourth person at all. The matter had already been settled. Seven years had passed, and there was no way to verify if Nina was the real bully.
Even if Elena pointed out that Nina was the bully, she did not have any evidence. Nina could just say that Elena was bribed by Elvira to frame her!
No one could do anything to Nina as long as there was no physical evidence.
“Elena? You are really Elena! You’ve really woken up! That’s great! Elena, you can testify against Elvira with me now! She almost killed the two of us back then. If we weren’t so lucky, we would have died long ago! We must bring this evil bitch to justice. We can’t let her harm others anymore.” Nina looked at Elena and said.
Elena quietly looked at Nina. She had just woken up not long ago, and after a month of rehabilitation, this was her first trip out. She frowned at Nina, her eyes filled with disgust. “Nina Shaw, how on earth do you have the cheek to say all these things? You were the one who bullied me back then. Elvira just happened to pass by and wanted to help me! I didn’t expect that after I went into a vegetative state all because of you, you accused Elvira of being the bully!”
After hearing her words, everyone present was dumbfounded. What was going on? The second victim woke up and accused Nina of being the bully. Elena was not here to testify against Elvira; instead, she was here to reveal that Nina was the bully. Elvira was actually a good person…
Everyone was stunned by this sudden twist of events. Which of the three women was lying?
Nina pretended to look shocked and scolded, “Elena, you’re muddle-headed! How much money did Elvira give you to make you say that? How can you help the bully because you want money! You disappoint me!”
