Two Reborn, One Throne novel Chapter 146

Sharif's expression darkened.

His long, elegant fingers tapped rhythmically against the desk.

"No need. If she needs help, she'll ask for it directly."

Sharif decided it was best not to disrupt her rhythm.

—The road ahead of the little fox might be rugged, but she was more than capable of clearing her own path.

Julian snuck another glance at him. He wanted to say, *Sir, you seem to know her incredibly well. How are you so sure she won't need help?*

"Did you find out who leaked the information to her?"

It was hardly a mystery that required a full investigation, but having concrete proof was always better.

Julian replied, "Exactly as you suspected, it was Joanne."

"She's probably resentful that you saved Amber and, knowing she couldn't touch you, went looking for someone who could make your life difficult."

Joanne was practically begging for a death wish. What gave her the confidence to think that involving Yvonne would actually result in successful revenge?

Sharif let out a cold sneer. "She overestimates herself. Amber has probably already retaliated, hasn't she?"

Julian handed over his phone, showing him the blurred video of Joanne being stripped that Amber had uploaded.

Sharif's eyes turned ice-cold. "Have the PR department push this. Keeping it on the school forum is far too limited."

As a result, Joanne, who was still monitoring the school forum, was horrified to see her scandalous video skyrocketing onto the wider internet's trending lists. She screamed in shock, but unable to expose herself, she told Lucian she needed to use the restroom and frantically dialed Amber's number.

Amber was just getting off the bus near her alleyway. Seeing the unknown number, she didn't even need to pick up to know exactly who was panicking on the other end.

"Amber, what did I ever do to you!? Why would you go back on your word and post the video online!?"

If Joanne were standing in front of her right now, Amber would have slapped her across the face.

Naturally, she had to play dumb and act thoroughly offended.

Amber felt her acting skills were getting a bit rusty. "Joanne, playing dumb isn't a good look for you. If you're so sure, do you have any proof I posted it?"

Joanne choked on her words.

She had no proof!

Just like she had no proof she went to Yvonne for help.

But Yvonne had just lost, and it was entirely possible she had sold her out.

Damn it! Damn it all!

"I'll say it again. Until finals are over, you and Lucian can play house all you want. Just stop trying to outsmart me, and your naked video won't be uploaded again. Joanne, the faces were blurred this time. Next time..." Amber's voice turned lethal, "...it won't be so PG."

With that, Amber hung up.

Joanne screamed silently in the restroom stall, practically vibrating with rage.

Seeing that she was taking too long, Lucian came over to the restroom door. "Joanne, are you alright?"

Joanne felt utterly suffocated. If Lucian found out she had failed to sabotage Amber and had her own humiliating video leaked instead, he would definitely distance himself from her.

That bitch needed to die. Thank God she hadn't exposed her in front of Lucian.

Otherwise, her $30,000 scholarship would vanish into thin air.

Joanne called back, "I'm fine, Lucian! I'll be right out!"
