The Real Heiress's New Family Adored By All novel Chapter 142

Chapter 142 A Tragic Fall Down the Stairs

A wave of overwhelming unease twisted in Jolie’s chest.

“You didn’t receive videos?” Tessa’s expression turned grave; it was clear Jolie knew nothing about the videos. She held out her phone and handed it over.

The moment Jolie saw the screen, rage surged straight to her temples. She snatched the phone and hurled it hard across the floor.

“These videos are edited! They’re all fake!”

She thought she’d deleted those videos. How the hell were they surfacing now?

Her voice rose sharp and shrill, carrying into the classroom. Curious heads popped out one after another to stare.

Every student at Havenridge High had received the videos-all except Jolie, since Maya had deliberately left her out.

“What are you all staring at?”

Tessa glanced back with a cold tone, and one by one, the onlookers ducked back into their seats.

Pushing down her own anger, Tessa dragged Jolie to the quiet corner by the stairwell. She lowered her voice, brows knotted tight.

“Jolie, after everything that’s happened, are you still going to lie to me? Did you plan all this too? Were you trying to destroy Zora completely?”

Jolie’s guilty reaction said it all.

“They’re fake, none of it’s real. Tessa, why would you believe random posts online over me?”

Under Tessa’s searching gaze, Jolie dug her nails into her palm, refusing to budge. Her gaze grew dark as she stared back.

The videos had to be fabricated. She could never admit to them-once she did, everyone would take it as proof she was guilty.

“Jolie, how can you lie even to me? The fingerprint report is public now. You’re the one who loosened the bolt on Holden’s motorcycle.” Disappointment flooded Tessa’s eyes.

“Zora deserved it! She never should have come back! I’m the Knox family’s daughter. Who does that bitch think she is, trying to force her way into our circle? I’ll crush her under my feet! She has no right to compete with me!”

With no one else around, a wild red glint flashed in Jolie’s eyes.

Finished

Zora should never have returned. Jolie was the rightful Knox daughter, and anyone who dared stand in her way deserved to die.

“Wow. Who would’ve guessed the sweet, popular campus belle has such a cruel, twisted side hidden away?”

A cold voice cut in from behind them.

Both girls spun around sharply.

Easton stood there holding his phone, his handsome face completely impassive. “Felix, let’s go.”

Felix stepped out from the empty study room where he’d been hiding and listening the whole time.

Maya had planned every detail perfectly-even predicting exactly where they would go to talk privately.

Before Jolie could process what was happening, Easton and Felix turned and hurried away, heading straight for Classroom 19 on the lower floor.

“Tessa! You set me up too?”

Shock and betrayal flashed across Jolie’s face. She raised her hand and slapped Tessa hard across the cheek.

The force knocked Tessa stumbling backward two steps.

Neither had noticed they were standing right at the edge of the stair landing.

“Jolie, I didn’t-I never knew they were hiding there…”

Tessa’s eyes widened, a heavy sorrow settling over her heart. She pushed her feelings aside and reached out to grab Jolie’s hand, trying to explain.

“Get away from me! You’re just another bitch!” Jolie’s eyes turned icy, roughly swatting Tessa’s hand away.

Tessa was standing too close to the stairs. The violent shove sent her body lurching backward. She tumbled helplessly down the flight of steps, rolling all the way to the bottom.

As she fell, Tessa stared upward at Jolie, pure terror in her eyes.

“Tessa! Tessa! Somebody help! She fell down the stairs!”

Panic crashed over Jolie as she stared at the crumpled figure below. Fear crept up her throat, and she screamed for help, her legs going weak as she stumbled down the steps.

“Somebody come quick!”

She’d never imagined Tessa would fall like that.

One thought blared relentlessly in her mind.

It’s over. I’m ruined.

The Frost family would never let this go, especially Hugo. He would never drop the matter easily.

And once the truth from that post got out, the Knox family would also learn that every scheme had been her doing. They hated nothing more than those who plotted against their own kin- the very reason they had originally despised Zora.

If they found out the truth about Jolie’s schemes, they might disown her entirely.

Tessa had to be alright. As long as she was okay, she would surely find a way to make her forgive her.

Chaos erupted across the school, and Tessa was rushed straight to the hospital.

Tessa’s injuries were severe. The doctors warned that there was a serious risk she could slip into a permanent coma.

On top of the defamation against Zora, Jolie was now facing a charge of attempted murder.

The Frost family immediately called the police. Security camera footage clearly showed Jolie shoving Tessa down the stairs. They apprehended Jolie while she was hiding in a restroom.

She was placed in pretrial detention for 15 days, pending updates on whether Tessa would wake from her coma.

Not even the Knox family could bail her out during this period.

The Frost family was not one to be trifled with. Tessa was their precious daughter, and now she was a vegetable after being pushed over. Enraged, her father openly declared that anyone who dared speak up for Jolie would become the Frost family’s sworn enemy.
