Sophia sneered. “Don’t you have any inkling as to why she keeps targeting me even though there’s no grudge with her? I’m sorry, but since she’s your fiancée, I’ll hold you accountable for whatever she does. Just wait for it!”
Although the saying went along the lines of never airing one’s family laundry and having a row with the ex in public would be embarrassing, she didn’t have the time and energy to beat around the bush with them.
She hoped that she could settle it once and for all.
She gladfully put down the loudspeaker and decided to leave.
Looking around her surroundings, she noticed that Joe and Faye enjoyed watching her misfortune.
She actually did those two incidents as a favor for Faye, but it would be in vain even if she tried to push the responsibility to others at that moment.
At last, Xyla finally revealed her true colors after feigning to be an obedient girl for a long time. “Yes, I’m the one. It’s all my fault whereas you’re completely innocent, Richard!”
She now resembled a deranged woman, wailing and screaming incoherently, “You’re right; everything is my fault! Do you think that I’m not aware that you secretly contacted that b*tch? Both of you secretly dated and kissed during the military training. You had s*x with her without shame in the infirmary.
Did you think that I didn’t know about that? Your mother even wants you to keep her as a lover out of my sight and wants her to be treated equally as me! Once you know that she married an old man, who’s almost dead, all of you started to contrive a plot to seize her assets. I know all of your schemes!”
Considering that she was overcome with grief and indignation, she pointed at Joe and Richard. “Among the two of you, one claims to be her family and tries to go after that old man’s wealth while Richard, you are collaborating with Sophia to snatch all of her husband’s properties! I know it all.
Upon having his thoughts exposed, Richard shouted out of anger, “Shut up!”
“I’ll never!” Xyla wailed while yelling. “Aren’t you planning to reconcile with her and seize that old man’s property by pushing all the blame to me? It will never happen! I’m going to expose all of your schemes today.”
She had painstakingly schemed to be his girlfriend and was successfully engaged with him. Just when she thought that she could marry into the Harper family and become a wealthy married woman, she was gotten rid of as soon as she outlived her usefulness.
Turning her attention to Sophia and him by pointing at them, she raised her voice and told the students, “This disgusting couple has plotted it from the beginning to kill her husband. Then, they will take possession of the properties for themselves. I’ve heard all of it. This couple is ridiculously shameless!”
The students burst into an uproar as they were shocked to discover the despicable truth behind the incidents.
Rumors had it that Sophia’s husband was extremely wealthy and had already one foot in the grave. Besides, he had only one son, so upon his death, she would inherit his wealth.
It turned out that she collaborated with Richard and schemed to kill that old man before equally distributing the assets among themselves!
What a clever plot!
She initially had walked far ahead, but turned in anger and aimed the loudspeaker at him and Xyla.
“Let me explain this for the one last time. My husband is indeed extremely wealthy, but he’s not old. In fact, he’s only in his 30s. He’s also young, strong and handsome. We’ll have our kids after I graduate. It’s just your wishful thinking if you’re scheming for my husband’s property!
Besides, my husband is far better than Richard in all aspects. I must be blind to have made up with a b*stard, who has been through several nasty relationships! Richard, you should be more concerned about your sexual disease instead.”
Sexual disease?!
Everyone paled in shock and instantly moved a few meters away from Richard. At that moment, everyone suddenly recalled that he had plenty of s*x videos circulating around, considering that he had engaged in intimate relations with lots of prostitutes in nightclubs.
In an instant, his face darkened while glaring at Sophia with clenched teeth. On the other end, she had already put down the loudspeaker and left briskly.
His sexual disease was merely a nonsense that she cooked up. Making rumors is indeed fun!
Even though she was gone, the swarm of students were still staring at him and Xyla.
Joe, who was the one who first caused trouble, suddenly yelled in the tone of a dying pig screaming, “Richard, you b*stard! How dare you scheme for my son-in-law’s property?!”
B*stard, you were almost tricked by him!
After all, Richard was Sophia’s first love. If he collaborated with her, Joe wouldn’t get a penny of that old man’s property!
Richard shook his head and wanted to leave. However, the vice chancellor, who had been silent, startled everyone when he bellowed, “Richard, Xyla. I want both of you in my office now!”
