She Became Rich After Divorce

Chapter 279: Monitoring Footage

Chapter 279: Monitoring Footage

Afterward, Timothy made a hasty escape, and at the end of the corridor, a white figure appeared – it was Peyton, pretending to return after going to the restroom. Her demeanor didn't resemble that of a drunk person. Timothy spoke to her for a while, even holding her hand.

Peyton didn't resist but gave Timothy a slap perhaps because she heard that he had failed.

She then walked up to Kate, who was unconscious, and put on a sinister smil1e. She crouched down and began unbuttoning Kate's shirt, and due to her inebriation, Kate showed no response.

Just as Peyton was unbuttoning the third button on Kate's shirt, Timothy approached from behind, said something, and then pulled her away.

Cheyenne had no intention of letting others know what happened next. She clicked the video to end, her eyes filled with a murderous intent.

"Peyton, is there anything else you'd like to say?"

"If it weren't for the unexpected turn of events, what were you planning to do, hmm? Kate was fortunate that a hotel staff member sent her back to her room that night. Otherwise, you might have had your way," Cheyenne added.

With that, the campus forum quickly took notice of this post, with comments flooding in:

[This woman is ruthless, as ugly on the inside as she is on the outside.]

[She drugged the drink, what a scheming women.]

[Look at the so-called 'sunny girl' that you guys like.]

The male students were mainly focused on two topics: first, whether or not Kate had been deflowered; and second, the identity of the girl in the red dress.

The discussions among the female students were even more heated, expressing their indignation that Graeme had been deceived. Some even called Graeme a scumbag.

This post became more and more popular, eventually catching the attention of an editor from Akloit magazine, who had been looking for a good story to boost her career.

She was immediately captivated by the post, saved it, and shared it on her Twitter account, along with a lengthy commentary of over 2, 000 words. The title was sensational: "Akloit College: Palace Intrigue Unfolds, Drugging and Harming Fellow Students in Pursuit of Love."

This catchy title quickly drew attention, especially since Akloit College was known for its circle of aristocratic students and already had plenty of hot topics. The video was subsequently released, and Cheyenne became a remarkable figure in everyone's eyes.

The second most trending topic was #HeavenOwesMeAnEddie#. Eddie's brilliance and his warm, caring nature, especially his brotherly love for his sister, had already earned him the reputation of being a perfect genius among the young medical professionals.

Now the evidence was overwhelming, and Peyton had no room for a counterargument. Graeme remained silent, and he quietly checked the timestamp on the screenshot, matching it with Peyton's claimed restroom visit, which aligned perfectly. She was indeed the mastermind.

For the first time, a subtle expression appeared on the young man's fair, handsome face, which surprised many. The icy campus heartthrob wasn't entirely devoid of emotion. His complexion was now a vivid shade of white and purple, making quite the spectacle. The person who had just accused Kate of defilement was now facing public humiliation.

A hot summer's day brought a breeze through the window, offering little relief from the stifling heat.

Mr. Owen, unable to contain his impatience any longer, had a lot of hospital work to attend to and couldn't afford to linger here.

With a disdainful gaze at Shepard, Mr. Owen, in his elderly yet authoritative voice, said, "Principal Shepard, you should know what to do next."

Principal Shepard, visibly anxious, nodded and cleared his throat before announcing, "To have a student like you in our school is a disgrace to the long-standing reputation of Akloit College. The responsibility doesn't just lie with the school, but also with me and your parents."

"Coming from a humble background is not a crime, but if your spirit is impoverished, your future prospects will be dim. You may even become a threat to society. I will now exercise my authority as the principal."

"Notify the relevant authorities. Timothy, a second-year student in the Logistics Management program of the Finance Department, has shown misconduct. Considering your ability to acknowledge your mistakes, the school has decided to give you a warning and record of misconduct while canceling your future financial aid."

Timothy listened to the principal's words with a despondent expression, sitting on the floor and gazing at Peyton with a pitiable mix of sorrow and anger. If only he hadn't followed this wicked woman, he thought.

Fortunately, he could continue his education at the school without worrying about graduation, but the loss of his financial aid meant he would face challenging times ahead. Akloit College, as a prestigious institution for the elite, charged considerably higher fees than other colleges. Tuition alone was a hefty ten thousand dollars per year, and the school uniform cost over a thousand dollars.

For these well-off students, these costs were minor, given that their families could afford to spend hundreds of thousands to enroll their children in the school. But Timothy was different; he had three younger siblings who were still studying, and the family's total income was less than ten thousand dollars a year.

If he didn't continue his education, he would be wasting the previous years of hard work, and his last year would be in vain. Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

Peyton, on the other hand, faced a harsher fate. Principal Shepard announced her expulsion from the school, and as he did, two undercover police officers in uniform entered the room.

"Peyton, is that you? I'm announcing your arrest, and from now on, every word you say will be used as evidence in court."
