Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 1020

In the past few days, Violet had been like a mouse crossing the street—wherever she went, people mocked her. She shamelessly went to the university but had to cover herself up, completely unrecognizable from head to toe.

Despite that, the mocking voices constantly reached her ears. People in the class now understand that Lina had set her up. She wanted them to testify—"It was Lina who copied Xyla Irwin's artwork first, not me!"

"Violet, save your breath!" Keira was the first to refute her. "If it weren't for your malicious intentions, thinking of plagiarizing Lina's work, this wouldn't have happened!"

"Exactly..." Someone else chimed in. "Besides, the painting that was submitted for review was yours, not Lina's! Maybe Lina just copied along for fun?"

"We've all seen how Ms. Grist usually bullies Lina. Hah... it's karma!"

"You!" Violet shouted angrily, isolated and unsupported, and turned around to run out of the classroom.

Normally, she was the one who bullied Lina, but she was not unkind to this group of lackeys! Why had they all turned their backs on her as soon as she was ridiculed online!?

...

Zuko recently paid attention to the news on the Internet and occasionally criticized Violet, adopting the tone of a keyboard warrior. Although he had always considered cyberbullying to be shameful, it was a different story when it came to Violet.

After reading the posts, he called Toph again. "You've worked hard during this period."

Toph had not woken up yet, but he was startled by these words and jumped up from the bed. Did he hear it correctly? His brother actually... thanked him?

"Uh... It's nothing, just a small favor!" Toph's eyes were filled with hot tears—who knew what he had been through these days? His big brother had asked him to expose Violet's plagiarism and constantly monitor the comments, ensuring no hint of Lina was mentioned. Zuko did not want Lina's life to be disrupted.

Therefore, Toph had to seek dozens of major media outlets to monitor it together, and it was not until then that he realized that his brother's sweet bond in Jangasas was called Lina.

"Toph, you did a good job!" Zuko, who rarely complimented people, smiled. "I heard that the Irwins want to retain the right to press charges. How did you manage to get our grandmother involved?"

"That's simple. I told our grandmother that her granddaughter-in-law was being bullied and asked her to step forward!"

"You..." Zuko had just taken a bite of a peach, and a piece of the flesh got stuck in his throat. He coughed violently a few times.

"Bro, it's okay!" Toph comforted him in a low voice, "Anyway, our grandmother doesn't know which granddaughter-in-law it is..." said Toph.

"Alright, stop talking!"

"Didn't I do a good job with this?"

"Hmm, not bad," Zuko said in a deep voice. "But don't do it again in the future!"

Toph was still puzzled, but he heard a beep from the phone, and the call was disconnected.

Zuko leaned against the porch railing and scratched his head vigorously.

There was a car honking in the alley.

Lina came downstairs while Zuko looked over at the source's sound. They saw a car stop at the alley, and a man in a suit and leather shoes walked to them a while later.

The man wore a polite smile. "Are you Ms. Lina Jenner?"
