Chapter 741: Chapter 741: Tearing Off Her Skin (5)
Susan Caldwell had been certain she would ruin Vera Xavier’s reputation this time. However, the situation had developed in a way that completely defied her expectations. She had spoken so brazenly that she had backed herself into a corner.
A smirk played on Vera Xavier’s lips as she looked at Susan. "If you won’t say it, I’ll say it for you."
She paused, then slowly recited, "That day, you personally saw me follow that student, knock him unconscious, and then take all sorts of liberties with him. After that, I triggered his heart attack. To cover up my crime, I pretended to know first aid and called an ambulance. I thought my plan was perfect, but I didn’t realize heaven had eyes, allowing you to witness all of my wicked deeds!"
When she finished, her eyes turned cold. "Is that how it went?"
Susan Caldwell opened her mouth, wanting to offer an explanation, but those were the exact words she had just spoken. Everyone present had heard her.
Vera Xavier looked at her and said, "Susan Caldwell, is this your so-called justice? Your so-called truth?"
The way the surrounding girls looked at Susan Caldwell had changed. They had all been admitted to Veridia University; fundamentally, they were all intelligent. They had simply been manipulated by Susan a moment ago.
The girls glared at Susan Caldwell furiously. One of them couldn’t hold back, "Susan Caldwell, don’t you think you owe us an explanation?"
Any explanation Susan Caldwell could offer now would be feeble. Her face was pale as she stammered, "I... I..."
Fiona Wright chose the perfect moment to step forward. "I’d say you’re just jealous! Jealous that Vera Xavier gets better grades, that she’s prettier, and that she’s more capable than you. You used your prominent family background to fabricate lies and twist right into wrong!"
She and Shirley Ewing had been watching from the sidelines, and she had been worried sick!
But when the girls had swarmed them earlier, Vera Xavier had told her one thing: "Stay out of it. I’ve got this."
By now, Fiona Wright had developed unconditional faith in Vera Xavier’s abilities. In a situation like that, if she had spoken up, she would have likely done more harm than good.
And now, being clever, she recognized this as the perfect opportunity to support Vera Xavier’s counterattack, so she immediately stepped forward.
Fiona Wright now held nothing but contempt for Susan Caldwell. She couldn’t believe Susan had managed to take the cafeteria incident and twist it into such a huge drama.
Besides, Laura White had made it crystal clear last night that Susan Caldwell had orchestrated the whole thing.
To the righteous Fiona Wright, this was simply intolerable!
Fiona Wright had been thinking that this kind of rumor would be incredibly difficult to dispel. One misstep could cause immense harm to Vera Xavier. But seeing the way Vera handled it—it was nothing short of perfect!
This time, Susan Caldwell had truly shot herself in the foot. She had slapped her own face, and the sound was a resounding SMACK!
Shirley Ewing shouted from the side, "Susan Caldwell maliciously slandered Vera Xavier to satisfy her own selfish desires! It’s clear she’s morally bankrupt! This is a vicious incident, and I propose we have her expelled from the university!"
Vera Xavier arched an eyebrow slightly, watching as the very girls Susan Caldwell had incited moments ago now turned on her, raising their hands and shouting, "Get out, Susan Caldwell! Get out of the university!"
The girls were absolutely furious. How could they not realize by now that they had been used?
