Chapter 260 Chapter 260
Tania rolled her eyes so hard she almost saw her own brain. “Sorry to disappoint the audience, but my friend isn’t some gossipy PR rep and has absolutely no obligation to feed your curiosity. Stop blocking the door and get out of the way. Now.”
The girls scowled. Since they hadn’t gotten what they wanted, their jealousy and malice came to the surface.
“Humph. Fine, then. Stay there and think you’re so great. Now it makes perfect sense that your fiancé cheated on you with your sister… it must have been because of your unbearable personality!”
“That’s true. What’s the point of having a pretty face if you’re so arrogant? Your boyfriend was going to cheat on you sooner or later anyway.”
"I can’t believe you and Claire are related. She’s a top-tier star with a rich and powerful boyfriend. You don’t even come close to her popularity, and your fiancé still dumped you to be with her. You’re a loser!
The girls thought Caroline was being way too snobby. They just couldn’t stand being rejected and felt the need to insult her.
Tania’s blood boiled. She clenched her fists and took a threatening step toward the group’s leader. “If you don’t get your hands off us in three seconds, I’m going to rub each of your faces into the asphalt of the courtyard. And, just for the record: how is my friend a loser? Her current boyfriend is ten thousand times richer, more handsome, and more powerful than that piece of trash Edward Collins!”
Tania gave a sneering smile, eyeing the girls up and down with pure disgust. “You can spew all the venom you want right now. But remember to do some soul-searching when you get betrayed in the future. Think about whether it’s because of your rotten personalities, the sick envy you exude, or just that unkempt appearance of yours.”
Tania crossed her arms. “Even if Carol were a shrew, she’s stunning, and high-class men would line up for her. As for you…” Tania let out a nasal laugh. “Not only do you have questionable character, but you don’t even come close to the beauty of the tip of my friend’s hair. If anyone here was born to be cheated on, it’s you. Take care.
Tania was, in fact, ruthless in the art of insulting others. Her direct attacks on their appearance and character were like slaps in the face, capable of making girls with fragile egos cry with rage.
The girls turned red with humiliation and opened their mouths, about to scream and retort the insult.
However, before the fight escalated, they all heard a choked, trembling, and desperate voice coming from the end of the hallway.
“C-Carol… we’re sorry! Please, Carol, forgive us for the sake of our three years living together in the same dorm!”
As they saw Olivia and Ianca approaching Caroline with tear-streaked faces to apologize, the other students in the hallway stopped abruptly and looked at them.
By this time in the afternoon, with the IP leaks circulating through the campus WhatsApp groups, everyone already knew that Olivia and Ianca were the ones responsible for framing Caroline on the forum using fake profiles.
Everyone was disgusted by their hypocritical and venomous behavior.
Until that morning, Caroline had been insulted and met with dirty looks everywhere she went because of the lies. Now, the tables had turned drastically. Olivia and Ianca were the targets of contempt wherever they went.
The other students began whispering, making no effort to hide it: “I can’t believe it. They always acted like saints and decent people.” And in the end, they were doing those disgusting things behind closed doors. “It would be a nightmare to have roommates like that, stabbing you in the back while you sleep. Thank goodness hackers managed to find the IP address and track them down. Otherwise, Caroline’s reputation would have been ruined forever! “I heard Caroline’s billionaire boyfriend came to pick her up this morning in the parking lot, and that jealous Olivia had the nerve to insult her right in front of him. In the end, Olivia got slapped in the face and ended up humiliated!” “Wow, how embarrassing! Did Olivia actually have the guts to make such a fool of herself?!”
Hearing the scathing comments around her, Olivia bit her lip so hard she tasted blood and narrowed her eyes, hating every second of it.
But she swallowed her pride. With a forced look of extreme remorse and a choked voice, she said: — Carol... I’m really sorry. Please, give us a chance to make amends.
The truth was that the two of them had just been dragged into the dean’s office.
They received the scolding of their lives from the dean. The official reason was that their actions had tarnished the college’s image. But the real reason behind the scenes was that they had mortally offended an untouchable tycoon. Nicholas Wolf was furious and had demanded directly from the university administration that they be punished with the utmost severity.
“Apologize to Miss Ford publicly and beg for her forgiveness,” the dean had shouted, his face red with panic. “If she doesn’t formally forgive you, you’ll be expelled for defamation today. You’ll have to fend for yourselves!”
Recalling the dean’s ultimatum, Olivia swallowed hard and steeled her resolve to put on the best show possible. She had to do it, even though she’d rather die than bow down to Caroline.
Yet the more humble and pathetic she appeared on the outside, the more her sickening hatred for Caroline festered inside.
“Carol, I’m sorry. We were rash; we were manipulated by the gossip… We won’t do that again in the future.” Ianca also apologized, rubbing her hands nervously. “We’ve known each other for three years! We live together! Please, remember the good times and forgive us!”
The crowd in the hallway fell silent, turning their full attention to Caroline. Everyone wanted to know what her response would be.
