Comparing her current husband, who donated building, money, and facilities, to her ex, Richard, who spread rumors and vilified her after he cheated on her, the former was obviously way better.
After everyone gazed at Richard, he blushed in embarrassment and shouted angrily, “I have nothing to do with what has happened this time. I didn’t write that hate post!”
He was indeed taking the fall for someone—he wasn’t the culprit for the previous incident and had been totally wrongly accused. However, he wouldn’t take the blame again!
“It has nothing to do with you?!”
The trick of this incident seems exactly the same as the one you used in the past to spread rumors about me. I have every reason to think that you posted this too. What do you think, Richard?”
Upon being stared at by the students, he felt extremely embarrassed. He was the eldest son of a notable family, which is the Harper Family, so pride was important to him. His face immediately became grave while he shouted, “I honestly didn’t do it this time, so I will not admit to it. If you think that I did it, please show me the evidence.”
After that, he wanted to calmly walk away.
Sophia gave a look at the male classmates from the gay school before they instantly surrounded Richard.
She decided to take the opportunity to settle accounts with him today.
“Fine. Since you claim that you didn’t do it this time, I trust that you’re telling the truth. However, I still remember what you previously did. The Harpers have spread rumors about me many times and I clearly remember each of them. Let me tell you upfront today, Richard.
I’ve never met such a shameless man like you. Since we’ve split up, please don’t disturb my life anymore. You’re the eldest son of the notable Harper Family—an eminent and reputable family.
Please act according to your family background! I’m married and my husband loves and trusts me. No matter how you vilify me, you won’t harm me in any way. However, please don’t involve Bayside University whenever you spread rumors about me!”
It was true—the rumor that he spread about the scandal that she hired a male schoolmate had caused a sensation. It was not only circulated in Bayside University, but also among the high-society, causing it to be emphasized and became a disgrace of Bayside University.
Up until that moment, the university’s reputation had not recovered. Those who didn’t know the truth mocked that it had an unrighteous and unethical study environment, so it didn’t deserve to be the best university in Cethos.
Now that a similar incident had occurred again, everyone would hear the rumor that the vice chancellor had married a female student in a couple more days’ time, tarnishing the reputation of Bayside University. The person who started the rumor was truly evil!
Due to Richard’s previous record, everyone unanimously believed that it was him, even though he had denied it.
In that instant, everyone pointed and discussed about him.
“It’s a pity that her husband, who donates building and money, is being slandered. What an unethical act!”
“He’s the one who cheated on her. Yet, he can’t stand seeing his ex living a good life. He must be the culprit. There’s no one who will do that except him!”
“He hasn’t learned his lesson after being sued and fined for spreading rumors that she aborted her baby and is promiscuous. What a shameless man!”
He wanted to leave since criticisms were being rained on him. However, right when he turned, he was scolded by Stanley, causing him to retreat. Stanley glared at him. “You’re leaving? Not before you explain everything! Tell us, did you do it this time?”
Richard immediately refuted, “I didn’t! It’s not me. I didn’t do it. I’ve never done it and will never ever do it!”
Stanley spoke loudly, “Are you still denying it? Other than you, who will do such a thing? If you don’t give us an explanation, I won’t let you leave!”
