Chapter 59
Agnes took a deep breath. “You’re not scary, why would I be afraid of you?”
Jared gave a smile and said, “I told you I’d take you out for a great meal, but it seems like you didn’t eat much. Come on, let’s grab a bite”
Agnes didn’t really feel like eating, but Jared convinced her to have something.
The next day.
When Agnes got to school, she heard all kinds of rumors.
Jenny’s wedding had a lot of classmates invited, so the events of last night were already common knowledge.
Someone even filmed it on their phone and posted it on the school forum.
In the video, Jenny was seen begging Elton for forgiveness, looking really pathetic and embarrassed.
Agnes ran into some classmates from the journalism department.
They all came over and said, “Agnes, I can’t believe you were friends with someone like Jenny. You were so good to her, and she stole your boyfriend and framed you; we completely misunderstood you.”
“Yeah, Jenny is just awful. We thought she was this classy and educated lady, but it turns out she’s just a schemer. She’s the school’s disgrace
“Maybe you didn’t hear, but Jenny got expelled. The principal and the dean both went to her wedding and witnessed her plot. They say the principal expelled her as soon as he got back.”
“Her reputation is ruined now; I doubt any school would take her. Without a college degree, her future might really be ruined.”
“It’s all her own fault, someone like her would only bring harm to others if she made it ”
While everyone was gossiping, Jenny walked out of the dean’s office.
She was pushing her luggage and carrying her backpack, looking like she was ready to leave the school.
When Jenny saw Agnes, she paused and stood there.
The students who were originally surrounding Agnes all walked over.
Una said, “Why is Mr. Taylor’s fiancée carrying all this luggage by herself?”
“You forgot, Mr. Taylor broke up with her at the wedding yesterday.”
“Oh right, I did forget.”
“Jenny, you even framed your best friend; are you even human?”
“Alright, enough,” Agnes cut in.
Everyone was trying to stand up for Agnes, but since she spoke up, they all stopped.
Kerri Bradford came over and shooed everyone away, leaving just Jenny and Agnes.
Jenny glared at Agnes with a look of hatred, while Agnes remained calm.
Agnes asked, “What’s your plan now? My father knows the principal of N University; he might be able to help you transfer there.”
