Chaos Girl Rewrites the Script novel Chapter 469

The chaotic drama dispersed as everyone scrambled back to their respective classrooms.

Wesley immediately hurried back to Alaric's side, leaving Theron standing out like a sore thumb.

Vivienne, Bianca, and Aurelia all locked eyes on him. Theron shifted awkwardly. Avoiding the gaze he dreaded most, he spoke with stiff artificiality, "The bell rang. Why are you all still standing here?"

"Who are you?" Bianca demanded. "And why did you help us?"

"Theron!" Mina arrived panting, wrapping herself proudly around his arm. "He's my brother. Bianca, watch your mouth. My brother just stood up for you, and this is how you treat him?"

"Your brother?" Bianca blinked in shock. "I thought your brother was the shape of a bowling ball. When did he shrink?"

Theron sighed, utterly exasperated.

Mina bristled with outrage. Only she was allowed to mock her brother. She was just about to lash out when Aurelia gently pulled Bianca back, offering Theron an apologetic look.

"Thank you for stepping in earlier. Bianca speaks without thinking, but she doesn't mean any harm. Please don't take offense."

"Whatever," Mina scoffed, crossing her arms. "I'm going to curse out..."

Before she could finish, Theron's eyes practically sparkled. "It's fine. I don't mind anything they say."

Mina's cheeks puffed out in absolute indignation.

Aurelia was slightly taken aback but brushed it off. "We should get to class. We'll properly thank you the next time we meet."

Bianca hooked her arm through Vivienne's. As the three girls reached the second-floor landing, Theron was still rooted in the exact same spot.

Vivienne studied Theron's face thoughtfully, turning his features over in her mind.

Bianca, noticing Vivienne's intense scrutiny, leaned in and whispered, "He didn't even get mad when I insulted him. He actually seems like a decent guy."

She finished her sentence with a meaningful glance toward Aurelia.

Vivienne smirked. She hadn't realized her formerly slow-witted friend had become so incredibly perceptive, catching onto the underlying dynamics in an instant.

Theron?

Vivienne slowly pulled her gaze away. She didn't have many memories of this guy. Her only distinct impression was from Aurelia's funeral, where he had shown up in a black suit to leave a single red rose. Later, he joined the naval air force and was blown out of the sky during an airstrike, leaving no remains.

His death had deeply wounded the Blackthorne family. Their grandfather fell seriously ill, his health never fully recovering. Later, when the massive scandal regarding Mina's true identity broke, she ended up abandoned by everyone.

But judging by how the two interacted just now, Theron clearly adored his fake sister. If he hadn't died, perhaps Mina wouldn't have met such a tragic end alone in a foreign land.

"I'm heading back."

Aurelia wasn't in the same class. Once they reached the third floor, they had to part ways.

"Lia," Vivienne called out, hesitating for just a moment.

Aurelia turned around.

Vivienne pointed toward the ceiling. "Remember. Face him head-on! No matter what happens." Without waiting for a response, she grabbed Bianca's hand and dragged her down the hall.

"No matter what happens?" Aurelia murmured to herself, looking down.

"He's incredibly good to you."

Mina smiled. "Because he's my brother. Doesn't Preston treat you well?"

Sophia forced a polite smile to mask her true feelings.

By the afternoon, the vicious rumors about Lara had completely blown up out of nowhere.

A massive thread on the campus forum, titled "The So-Called 'National Goddess' is the School's Biggest Slut," went incredibly viral. Not only did it detail how Lara had ruthlessly bullied her peers while filming her drama, but it also exposed countless photos of her acting intimately with several boys outside of various hotels.

As the hateful comments piled up, the scandal quickly bled over into mainstream social media platforms.

Lara's entire public image had been built on being an innocent, pure idol. Naturally, the internet erupted into a heavily polarized war. Her devoted fans fiercely defended her under extreme pressure. However, by that evening, a massive leak of brutal bullying videos surfaced. The clips showed girls being degraded and humiliated, exposing acts of sheer cruelty.

The public instantly turned against her, screaming for Lara to be fully blacklisted from the entertainment industry. Massive fan communities mobilized to boycott her upcoming drama.

Once the walls crumbled, everyone rushed to kick her while she was down. By the second day of her fall from grace, the internet was completely swamped with salacious rumors.

Countless anonymous men claimed to have hooked up with her, even posting heavily pixelated, explicit photos.

At this point, the truth didn't matter. Just the thrill of dragging the former goddess through the mud was enough for these pathetic internet trolls to revel in their sick fantasies.

The terrifying power of rumors had branded a girl as an irredeemable tramp in barely twenty-four hours.
