Chapter 795
Given that she planned on entering Jadeborough University, she was naturally concerned with Donovan’s recent tardiness.
At that moment, Wendy heard the students seated behind her discussing something. When the word “Arielle” pricked her ears, she couldn’t help but turn around.
“Are you talking about Arielle?” Wendy put on a warm smile to feign friendliness.
However, the two students looked at her warily, as if she was the enemy.
Smiling awkwardly, Wendy explained, “Please don’t misunderstand. I did have some conflict with Arielle before this, but everything has been resolved now.”
The students asked skeptically, “Really?”
Wendy nodded. “Really. It wasn’t a big conflict to begin with. Just a trivial squabble between girls.”
Just as she spoke, her classmates lowered their guard against her.
Feeling relieved, Wendy pretended to be concerned. “Actually, I do sympathize with Arielle. I didn’t expect her dad to be so evil to the extent of endangering the homes of others and delaying the salaries of his workers. When Arielle was using her dad’s money, she probably wasn’t aware that it belonged to the workers. What a shame…”
When Wendy was done making her snide comment, she waited for a turnaround in attitude from her classmates.
She figured that her insinuations were obvious enough to convince them that Arielle too was at fault.
However, when she raised her gaze, she saw them frowning with displeasure.
Frozen momentarily, she asked, “What is it?”
“Didn’t you read the news?” One of them explained, “Arielle never used any of Henrick’s money.”
Wendy scoffed, “How is that possible?”
The girl squirmed her lips. “If you don‘t believe it, you can read the news yourself.”
“But…” I did go through the news.
Filled with skepticism, Wendy checked the news on her phone again.
She saw two new trending headlines.
Henrick Southall The Murderer.
Henrick Appropriated Moore Family Assets.
She clicked onto the first one immediately.
The news related how Henrick was unfaithful in his marriage and plotted with his mistress to kill Maureen. Furthermore, there was a voice recording attached.
Subsequently, Wendy put her phone to her ear to listen.
The voice on the recording belonged to Cindy. She recounted how she and Henrick formulated a plan to kill Maureen and frame it as suicide. Furthermore, they even engaged human traffickers to kidnap
Anielle who was very young back then.
After she had finished listening, Wendy tapped into the second trending topic with mixed feelings.
Inside, she read how Henrick appropriated the Moore family assets after Maureen’s death.
At the end of the news, there was a picture of a donation receipt.
it stated that Arielle had donated two million.
Below it was Arielle personal comment
“This is the amount of money given to me when I first returned to the Southalls. I didn‘t want any of it. Hence, I donated it to organizations that helped missing children hoping that all of them would be returned to their families safe and sound.”
Wendy expression darkened.
Arielle really knows how to put on an act. No wonder the classmates behind me insisted that she didn‘t use any of Henrick’s money,
If only she had read the news beforehand, she wouldn‘t have bothered to talk to her classmates seated behind her.
By doing so, she had ruined her own reputation in front of them.
Amidst her frustration, she heard both of them whispering in private.
