Chapter 1611 No Escape For Vivian
“Vivi, everyone in school knows about you leaving with Prince Jason last night.”
“What?”
The smile on Vivian’s face vanished instantly.
Fearing her best friend would misunderstand, she anxiously tried to explain herself. “Please don’t get the wrong idea, Sonia. There’s nothing going on between Prince Jason and me. He just invited me over to his place because he wanted to show me something, that’s all!”
“It’s not me who has gotten the wrong idea, Vivi. Everyone in school just tends to jump to conclusions, especially after what happened with Dwayne. When I passed by the female dorm earlier, everyone was talking about you,” Sonia replied.
“What did they say?”
“Um, you know… Some really nasty things… Like how you set your sights on Prince Jason after Dwayne left. Trust me; you’re better off not hearing it.”
Of course, what the students said was actually a lot worse than that, but Sonia could not bring herself to tell Vivian about it.
The girls who liked Dwayne were upset and furious when he dropped out of school for no reason back then, so rumors about Vivian and Jason only added fuel to the fire.
Everyone in school called Vivian a snob, saying that she got rid of Dwayne because he was not good enough for her and that she eagerly made her move on Jason after laying her eyes on him at the banquet.
Upon hearing Sonia’s words, Vivian was rendered speechless. What the hell is wrong with these people?
Paying no heed to the rumors, she walked into the building with her best friend.
However, the students picked on her wherever she went. Not only did she lose her seat in the classroom, but she even had paper balls thrown at her while walking through the school.
Enraged, Vivian went straight to her teacher for help.
“These students keep bullying me, miss. Please help me take care of this.”
“I think you’re the main cause of the problem here, Vivian. So far, you’re the only one who has managed to cause such a public outrage in the school. Maybe you should reflect upon your actions instead.”
To her surprise, the teacher took the side of the bullies.
Vivian seethed with rage and almost rolled her eyes at her teacher.
What kind of logic is this? I didn’t do anything wrong, so why should I reflect upon my actions?
It was the first time Vivian had felt so disappointed in the way the school handled things. With tears in her eyes, she ran out of the teachers’ room, but instead of returning to the classroom, she headed straight for the school gate.
“Hey! Where are you going, Vivi? We’re still in the middle of a class right now!” Sonia shouted anxiously while running after her.
“Do you want me to attend class so that they can continue throwing stuff at me? I haven’t done anything wrong, Sonia! How could that teacher tell me to reflect upon myself? How could she?”
Vivian was devastated after being subjected to such unfair treatment.
Sonia kept quiet as she knew fairness was practically nonexistent in a capitalist school like Royal Academy, where everyone cared more about their personal interests.
With pretty much everyone in the school against her, there was no way the teacher would take her side.
In the end, Sonia decided to skip class with her best friend, planning to bring her out for a walk and have some comfort food and only return when Vivian was feeling much better.
After a round of shopping and snacking at a nearby mall, Vivian, who was originally a carefree person, perked up significantly, much to Sonia’s relief.
“Let’s head back to school, Vivi. Your parents would be worried if the school calls them up about this,” she urged.
“Okay,” Vivian agreed at last.
Right as they were about to return to school, a red sports car pulled up beside them with a loud screech.
A blond guy wearing a pair of sunglasses could be seen looking in their direction from the driver’s seat.
“D-Dwayne?”
Sonia’s eyes popped with surprise.
Vivian, too, was just as shocked to see him.
After glancing at them, Dwayne turned toward the long-haired girl sitting beside him and said, “We’re here. You go on ahead. I’ll be with you in a minute.”
“All right.”
The beautiful and sexily-dressed girl then got off the car and walked off while the two young women stared blankly at her.
Only when Dwayne got out of the car and approached them did they snap out of their daze.
“Shouldn’t you girls be in class right now? What are you doing here?”
“W-Well, you see… Vivi was in a bad mood, so… I took her out for a walk to help her feel better…” Sonia hastened to explain, albeit stammering from nervousness.
In a bad mood?
Although Dwayne still had his sunglasses on, the two of them could see the mocking look in his eyes as he said sarcastically, “Really? The great Ms. Vivian is in a bad mood? Didn’t you go to the royal residence last night? What, is Prince Jason not to your liking either? Did he do something to upset you?”
“What did you say?” Vivian’s expression changed instantly. “Dwayne, there is nothing going on between Prince Jason and me.”
“Is that so? Everyone, including those from the royal family, knows that Prince Jason brought an Astorian girl home last night. They say his family is preparing to have you study in their public school!”
Dwayne revealed another piece of shocking news.
What? The royal family’s public school? Is he referring to Regalius Academy? Oh, my gosh!
The color drained from her face, and she immediately denied it.
“W-Where did you hear that from? I’m not going to school there!”
There was no way Vivian would show herself before Jason and Daphne again, especially after barely escaping from such a dangerous situation last night.
They were like monsters! I don’t believe him!
To her horror, Dwayne simply chuckled and said, “Where did I hear it from? I’m a student there, Ms. Vivian. Haven’t you heard? I went there after dropping out of Royal Academy. I bet your daddy never saw this coming, huh? In the end, we’re still going to the same school!”
Vivian felt like she had fallen into a bottomless pit of despair after hearing that.
All she could think of at that moment was to call her father for help.
