Chapter 124: Chapter 75 Rebuttal and Elucidation_2
The more she thought about it, the more smug and confident she became about the decision she had made earlier, and her disdain for Hexia, who had challenged her face, grew.
Putting on airs, huh!
Hexia's rejection that day had made it impossible for her to save face in front of her peers; her face had flushed with humiliation, and it took days for her to recover. Fortunately, today she finally vented her spleen.
Top student, she's nothing but an unsophisticated country bumpkin who probably has never even dipped a toe in the water.
Just as the private room was abuzz with the clinking of wine glasses and lively chatter, the previously closed door swung open.
The newcomer was neither a waiter serving dishes nor someone who had wandered into the wrong room; it was the long-awaited Hexia, the last of the class to arrive.
"Hexia..." Setting down the personal terminal in her hand, Clara looked at the figure who had opened the door and entered, puzzled as to why she had come after all.
However, her question was soon answered as following behind Hexia was naturally not just one person.
Cindy, Yilin, and the 'silent duo,' this treasure trove of personalities, Clara knew that today would definitely not be peaceful upon seeing the newcomers.
"Among you, who is Lina," Cindy stepped forward first, positioning herself in front of Hexia, scanning the room with her gaze.
"I am, what about it?" Lina, at the peak of her confidence, boldly admitted this and walked over with a few companions by her side.
"Oh, too scared to come alone, so you brought backup, huh," she scoffed upon seeing the group accompanying Hexia, dismissing them.
Cindy frowned, looking at the girl in front of her caked in thick makeup with a sense of revulsion.
"I'm Tilan's classmate, and I want to know exactly who has been spreading rumors and bullying," she said directly, quieting the noise in the suite somewhat.
The boys from Jones's group, puzzled and eager to watch the drama unfold, came over and spoke in low voices.
"It looks like there's a fight between Lina and Hexia, and Hexia even brought classmates to speak for her."
"They're even bringing outsiders into this, tsk,"
As the crowd buzzed with speculation, Yilin led Hexia to stand in front of Lina.
"You're Lina, right? I saw all those messages you sent to Tilan and the insults," declared the young lady with her thoughts well-organized, her voice cold.
"Oh, you say I insult people; how did I insult anyone, is what I said not true? If not, you can ask that coward beside you who only knows how to hide behind others and play the victim," Lina said with arms crossed, utterly indifferent. She wouldn't have been embarrassed by such a remark if she wasn't standing here today.
It seemed so pleasant, why hadn't they noticed it before.
Could it be that we have overlooked a treasure these past three years.
She was as pure and moving as an elegant orchid...
After she finished, the people present finally began to sort out the sequence of events, and they could no longer feel sorry for Lina.
"So that's how it is. Not only did you bring trouble upon yourself, but you also dragged a classmate into it. Shameless." While this statement was made in a low voice, because the scene was not noisy, it faintly reached Lina's ears, agitating her.
"That's not true! You've all been deceived by her. She's such a beautiful girl, she's the most deceitful." Although admitting that Hexia was attractive was not her intention, in order to refute the claims, she couldn't care less right now, but unfortunately at this moment, her words didn't hold much interest for anyone.
Seeing that the people's interest in her retort was waning, Lina, unable to contain her anger, grabbed a glass from the table and violently smashed it to the ground, creating a loud shattering noise.
"Idiots! You're all idiots! You're so easily fooled by someone else, ganging up with her to bully someone from your own class!"
"Look at the clothes on Hexia, do you really think she can afford that!?"
"You've seen what Hexia wears normally, and there's no one else in her family, how could she suddenly come into a large sum of money!"
"What fake nobility! That's because she has already attached herself to a rich man and looks down on everyone else!"
"Also, haven't you noticed? The personal terminal she's holding is the latest flagship model from 'Mo Yun Workshop'. She told me before that she couldn't afford a nice one, and now suddenly she has it, how much time has passed!"
"Liar, just a liar!"
"Moreover, didn't someone say before that they saw Hexia wearing a different uniform at Topstar Tower? How could a girl, struggling to make ends meet, appear in such a high-end place—it must be someone else footing the bill!" Lina spoke faster and faster, the more she said the more she felt she was right, beginning to turn the perception of Hexia among the people present around.
Yes, these were indeed doubts and unresolved issues, so the crowd turned their gaze back toward Hexia once more.
Faced with this situation, Yilin frowned slightly and leaned in to speak into Hexia's ear.
"Just say I lent it to you, after all, my family is rich."
Hexia shook her head slightly in response to such reminders and suggestions. If she were willing to lie about such things, there wouldn't have been the fallout with Lina today.
She let go of Yilin's hand, stepping forward on her own, while Lina's friends nearby were not in a position to attack.
She closed her eyes slightly, a hand over her heart, and spoke words that shocked everyone
"Yes, the person seen at Topstar Tower was indeed me."
