Chapter 102

When everyone heard Nina’s words, they realized Elena had been bribed by Elvira. Elena was still very weak; her face was pale, and she was so emaciated she couldn’t stand. She stared at Nina quietly, the hatred in Elena’s eyes so strong that everyone present could feel it.

“Nina Shaw, do you think there were only the three of us there, and I don’t have any evidence to prove you’re the real bully?” Elena trembled, remembering what Nina had done to her.

Nina remained steady and calm. She was certain there was no evidence. Seven years ago, cameras were not very common. Moreover, the incident happened in a small forest; there were no cameras at all. Elena came from a poor family. At that time, students weren’t allowed to bring phones to school, and Elena didn’t have one because of her family’s circumstances.

“Elena, I can’t believe you’re doing this for money! If Elvira forced you, I think everyone can forgive you.”

“I have evidence. I’ve already handed over the evidence of your bullying to the police.” Elena’s voice was light, yet it stunned everyone, including Nina, who thought she’d gotten away with murder. Nina looked at Elena in shock.

“That’s right. Ms. Lowry provided evidence of her injuries—a tape recording. The police have analyzed it, restoring the entire conversation. The alleged bullying incident involving Ms. Elvira Willis was fabricated by Ms. Nina Shaw! The real bully was Nina Shaw. She bullied Ms. Elena Lowry, her dorm roommate, for a long time, causing serious injuries. Nina Shaw, the police are now officially arresting you for attempted murder!” The police showed the warrant and handcuffed Nina.

The sudden twist of events took everyone by surprise. Before anyone could react, the situation had changed. The original bully had become a victim, and the victim everyone sympathized with was the real bully. Everyone looked at one another. Before they could recover, Nina was handcuffed. The police had a warrant and wouldn’t arrest the wrong person.

“Impossible! You can’t possibly have any evidence! Have you been bribed by Elvira? Let go of me. Elvira is the murderer! The person you should arrest is Elvira!” Nina shouted angrily, struggling against the police.

“Nina Shaw, do you really think I’d let you bully me for so long without seeking justice? My family is poor, and I didn’t have a phone, but I had a Walkman I used to record lessons. Every time you bullied me, I recorded it. You can’t escape! And Elvira, I want to thank you officially. If you hadn’t appeared when you did, I might have been killed by that vicious woman.” Elena looked at Elvira with gratitude.

“Thank you, Elvira. Thank you.”

“Thank you for saving our Elena. We’ve misunderstood you all these years. You even helped us pay for her treatment. I’m so sorry. Thank you.” Elena’s parents thanked and apologized to Elvira, tears flowing. Elena was their only daughter; if she had died, they wouldn’t have survived.

It was only then that everyone was certain the bully wasn’t Elvira, but Nina Shaw! And all these years, Elvira had been helping Elena’s family.

Nina suddenly shouted, “Elena, you bitch! How dare you plot against me! How dare you record everything! You little bitch! I’m going to kill you!”

Chapter 102

Everyone looked at Nina, whose arrogant demeanor was completely different from the victim she’d portrayed. Everyone understood they’d been deceived.

Seeing that everything was settled, Judy knew there was no turning back. She never expected someone in a vegetative state for seven years would wake up one day! This time, nothing happened to Elvira again.

Karen frowned, looking at Elvira with dissatisfaction. Since Elvira wasn’t the one who’d done it, why hadn’t she explained it properly? She’d caused the family to lose a large sum of money! Now, she wanted to leave the Willis family because of this, and Karen felt Elvira was very rebellious.

Calvin also looked at Elvira with a puzzled look. Seeing her protected by a man, he remembered Elvira’s question: did he know what kind of person she was, and had he verified what really happened? Calvin hadn’t done anything. He’d only heard that Elvira had bullied others and believed it without a doubt, distancing himself from her.

Marsh was dumbfounded. He hadn’t expected his sister was innocent. He looked at Elvira with a guilty expression for the first time.

The principal rushed over, saying, “Everyone! I’m so sorry I’m late. I was helping the police check the files. The police have proven Elvira’s innocence. The person who bullied Elena was Nina Shaw. I solemnly apologize to Elvira for the school’s mistake. The school will issue an official statement.”

The principal represented the school’s stand. Finally, the truth about the shocking bullying incident was out. Elvira’s reputation was cleared, and the real bully was arrested. No matter how Nina cried and protested, the police took her away. Elena’s family thanked Elvira again and returned to the hospital because Elena wasn’t feeling well.

Everyone in the restaurant looked at Elvira, ashamed of their actions. Some people wanted to leave and forget about the incident.

“Wait a minute. Weren’t you guys cursing loudly just now? And you want to leave just like that? Have you forgotten something?” Zach’s voice was cold, his sharp gaze sweeping across everyone. The bodyguards blocked the exit.

Everyone looked at one another, ashamed. They had believed Nina and Judy, filled with malice toward Elvira, scolding and even throwing things at her.

“Elvira, I’m sorry. I apologize on behalf of the school! The school had done you wrong!” The principal was the first to apologize. When everyone saw the principal apologize, they also began to apologize. For a moment, the restaurant was filled with apologies to Elvira.

Elvira looked at the people apologizing, tears welling up in her eyes. It had been seven years. She had finally waited for the truth and the belated apology.
