LOGINJeremiah's complexion immediately darkened.It was then that one of the teachers behind spoke up. "You should just do it, Mr. Smith. It was our fault to begin with, and with the principal's directives, failing to bring Heather back would get us all fired!"Upon hearing that, Jeremiah gritted his teeth and bowed deeply. "I failed to judge the situation correctly and slandered you without cause, Heather. I am truly sorry for all of this. I'll call a full assembly to apologize to you in front of everyone once you're back at school. I hope you'll forgive me for this mistake, Heather."Heather knew when to quit while she was ahead. She packed her bags and got ready to follow them back to school.I asked Jeremiah just as they were about to leave, "How do you intend to deal with Christian Fisher?"Jeremiah continued his sycophantic display. "You can rest assured that the school has formally issued a notice of expulsion, as we have no intention of harboring such a troublemaker in school,
I opened the door to find Christian standing outside. His clothes were covered in dust, and his face was stained with grime, looking as though he had just crawled through a sewer or a dog door to get here.He immediately looked away the second he saw me, nervously rubbing his hands together. "I'm here to see Heather, if that's alright, Mrs. Miller."I couldn't help but furrow my brow in confusion, wondering at Christian's purpose. I curtly informed him that his request was denied and moved to shut the door. I didn't expect him to actually jam his hand into the doorframe, only to have the door slam on him, making him groan. I turned back with a scowl, waiting to see what stunt he was pulling.Christian appeared profoundly aggrieved. "I know what my mother and I did really hurt you and Heather, Mrs. Miller. I'm really sorry about that, but I never wanted this to happen. You see, my mother convinced me that following her plan was the only way to ensure that I'd be with Heather forev
I immediately received a reply from the other end of the line. "I've been waiting for you to give the go-ahead."That person immediately sent over a folder with all the chats between him and Sylvia. Those messages clearly detailed how Sylvia had instructed him to alter the school surveillance to falsely accuse Heather of cheating and how she had shelled out huge sums to create lewd photos of Heather with that middle-aged man. That mysterious figure was an overseas hacker, known for handling illicit deals. They would do anything as long as the payment was sufficient.If Sylvia could pay people to frame us with those rumors, I could certainly pay more to expose Sylvia's misdeeds.I set up my phone and started the live stream after securing the evidence, on the very account the public was currently trashing. I had just started the live stream when a wave of indignant online users rushed in and flooded the comment section."How dare a shameless woman like you go live at this moment!
In the end, due to the immense publicity surrounding Christian's earlier success, the cheating allegations provoked an immediate and widespread scandal. His school, left with no alternative, placed Christian on suspension.It was such a huge deal that even I heard all the details while being away from school.It wasn't long before Sylvia's call came through, her voice trembling with a rage that seemed poised to erupt from the receiver. "You did all of this, didn't you, Kayla? You couldn't stand seeing Christian shine while Heather was stuck at home, so you made up these lies to destroy him! You're absolutely wicked, Kayla!"Sylvia finally dropped all pretenses, revealing the full extent of her hypocrisy.I sneered in response. "You ought to know that only someone with a twisted mind would see things that way. You're the one who plays dirty, not me. Didn't you say that Christian and Heather were perfect for each other? You see, since Heather can no longer attend classes, it seems on
Sylvia continued her relentless provocation before me. "You can't honestly think the school is going to let Heather stay after the shameless stunt you and Heather pulled, Kayla. "You see, even if the administration were inclined to be lenient, the rest of us parents wouldn't allow it, as leaving such a malignant influence in the school poses a grave risk to our own children's character." She then turned to Jeremiah and asked, "Isn't that right, Mr. Smith?"Jeremiah's gaze was frigid. "You're right, Mrs. Fisher." He then turned to me and said, "You ought to know that the school isn't a charity, Mrs. Miller. You should get out of here with Heather before this scandal escalates further. You see, our decision is final, regardless of how long you remain here—we aren't changing our minds."In the meantime, the students in the audience maintained a constant, hushed chatter as a succession of malice-filled remarks like "vile," "frivolous," and "shameless" pelted Heather and me from eve
Heather turned to look at the screen, her complexion instantly paling as she stood there, paralyzed by shock and fear.In the meantime, the audience whispered among themselves, their gazes toward her filled with contempt, judgment, mockery, and curiosity. They didn't even take the time to look at the photos on the screen, though, which clearly showed signs of being AI-generated.I hadn't even started to defend Heather when Sylvia suddenly stepped onto the stage and pointed her finger at me. "Have you lost your mind, Kayla? Heather is only 16 years old! How could you let her go after an old, married man like that? "You should have just asked us if you're desperate for money! You didn't have to sell her out! If this gets out, it's not just Heather's life that's over—the school's reputation is thrashed, too! How could any parent feel safe sending their children to this school?"Sylvia appeared to be defending Heather, but she was actually placing the blame on us without considering t
