Chapter 8 - Chapter 8

'Anne' her hands trembled while holding the phone.

'This lecturer always stirs at ladies with short skirts, I never knew she would hook up with him,' some girls in class whispered.

'And the man is worst, I'd better be a mistress for a charming man'

Chloe could hear everyone saying bad things about her, who did this to her? She stood up and ran out of the class. Anne stood up to follow her but the lecturer stopped her at the door.

'Are you trying to escape my class?' he asked with an arrogant look. Anne swallowed hard before returning to her seat.

Chloe ran to the school restroom, luckily there was no one. She cried out and stared at herself in the mirror.

The door pushed open and Amber walked in. she had a satisfied smile when she saw Chloe here.

'Sister, I know you so well. I expected you to be in the restroom and here you are' she smiled displaying her white teeth.

'You did this to me?' Chloe asked with uncontrollable tears rolling down her cheeks.

'I see you are a little smart but don't worry…I will ask Anne to still be your friend' she sounded so evil, Chloe gritted her teeth angrily.

'Why are you doing this to me? I never offended you'

Amber sneered, did she need a reason to hate a prostitute's daughter? And her mom always says that all the riches of the Lane family belongs to her and Jim. So Chloe's mom abandoned her here so that she could fight for her share of the wealth.

'Back then in high school, you placed glue on my bench…I was humiliated that I couldn't sleep. Today you edited such a picture of me? You really crossed my bottom line,' Chloe said angrily.

'What are you going to do to me? Do you want to be beaten to death?' Amber sneered, she forgot about the fact that Chloe no longer lives at the mansion. She now had her place so no one could bully her.

'Amber you are disgusting' Chloe said and pulled Amber's hair.

'Let me go' Amber tried pushing Chloe away, but Chloe was just so strong.

Screams could be heard from the girl's restroom, some staff hurried and separated the fight. Amber and Chloe were summoned to the dean's office.

'Do you both think this is high school?' the dean raised her brow furiously.

'Wait until your parents get here'

She was so furious, they waited for about half an hour when the door pushed open.

Mara walked in, Amber suddenly sighed in relief. Her mom will never scold her and will always take her side.

'Mrs. Lane, please have a sit'

Mara saw how messy her daughter was, her heart melted at the sight of her daughter. Then it suddenly became cold when she stared at Chloe.

'Let me guess, Chloe must have started a fight?'

She asked and didn't even wait for the dean to answer.

'Chloe, I already told you that you should avoid fighting in every school you go to. Now you are rubbing our family name to the ground, you even dragged your cousin into it'

Chloe wasn't shocked, she didn't expect much from the mother-and-daughter duo.

'Does she always fight in her old schools?' the dean couldn't help but ask. Chloe looked like someone innocent, she also looked calm and pure. How could such a person always fight?

'Chloe doesn't like fighting, but every time she thinks about how her mom was a prostitute she couldn't help but attack someone'

Chloe must admit that Mara was quite good at concealing her true colors, now she stood here as a caring parent but she was obviously pushing all the blame on her.

'Is that so?' the dean asked, she wanted Chloe to defend herself but Chloe stood quiet throughout the process. In the end, the dean came up with a decision.

'My team will track down those troublemakers who uploaded that post on the school account, and Chloe you will have to review your actions while cleaning the restroom at the end of the campus'

Chloe's eyes widened in shock, that restroom was abandoned because it was so dirty and it's also been long since someone used it. Why will they suddenly ask her to do such a thing?

'No one uses that restroom' Chloe said after a long while.

'Well, it turns out that the school now prefers to use is'

'What about Amber? What's her punishment' Chloe stared at Amber angrily, she also needed to be punished.

'Chloe it was concluded that you started the fight, so how can Amber be blamed?'

Chloe stared at Amber angrily, it was true she always started a fight when someone mentioned her mom, but that someone was always Amber.

'You can return to class'

Chloe walked out of the office angrily, as soon as she got to the corridor. A lot of people stared at her in disgust, the fat and bald lecturer whose picture was used, walked down the corridor. He didn't feel embarrassed as news like this has always been out.

But he really didn't sleep with this lady here, so who made such news about it?

'Chloe Lane' an angry voice echoed from down the hall. They all turned and gave space for the woman who rushed towards Chloe

Chloe saw that the woman was brought by Rachel…did they arrange another humiliation for her.

The woman slapped Chloe hard across the face, Chloe could see the stars but she couldn't count them.

'You B**ch, how dare you sleep with my husband? Do you know I have a daughter of your age?'

The post about Chloe had spread around the country, and any news about the university was so interesting. So students find happiness in sharing them.

Miles was with his assistant just now, his meeting was going to start in five minutes and he needed to attend.

He mistakenly came across a post, it was about Chloe. His heartbeat increased and he clenched his fist angrily.

'Harry' he called his assistant coldly, 'Look at this picture and tell me'

He handed his phone to his assistant, the man stared at it and had a huge smile.

'Nowadays, girls don't even care about their reputations and they go out to hook up with married fat men'

Miles glanced at him angrily that he could feel the man's gaze penetrate through him. Then he remembered the question his boss asked.

He was asked to stare at the picture and comment about it, not to talk bad about the lady. Harry's eyes widened in shock…the editor was just so good.

'Sir, seems like the picture was edited'

Miles nodded and checked his time, he had two minutes before his meeting.

'Good, go solve the matter now' Miles ordered in a cold tone.

Harry was confused, since when was the president of Johnson's empire interested in some university news? Was he feeling pity for this lady and decided to help her?

Harry couldn't object, so he turned to leave 'Harry'

Miles called out and Harry immediately turned.

'Let no harm come to the lady, and don't tell her who you are'

**

'Ma'am listen to me, I really didn't do anything' Chloe tried explaining but instead, she received another slap. Instead of helping her, they were all busy taking videos.

The fat lecturer ran towards his wife embarrassed.

'What are you doing? Coming here to beat up a girl'

His wife glared at him angrily that he immediately took a few steps back, well he tried to help.

Anne ran towards them and held Chloe 'Ma'am have you lost it?' Anne scolded angrily but the lady wasn't interested in her.

'Have I lost it? How did you feel opening your legs for my husband…is he so handsome that you can't resist him?'

She asked and the crowd burst out in laughter, the man was bald, fat-bellied, and also ugly. So what was there to like about him?

That was the most embarrassing part, they all thought Chloe couldn't hook up with someone charming so she went for the other option.

'You slap my friend over here without having any proofs'

'Proofs? These are proofs' The lady yelled out and showed the phone to her, it was the school post that kept going viral.

'I can't see any proof, all I can see is some stupid images…will a married man really take pictures with his mistress?

Anne asked and they all thought her theory was right, if you don't want your wife to find out about it then why take pictures?

But..

But they believed in proofs more, there was proof in front of them so why do they need theories?

Chloe was in a daze, a confused and tired moment…all she could hear was people criticizing her. Now she was back in high school, a place where no one accepted to be her friend because they all thought she was humiliating.

'You are a disrespectful lady, I will toss a stone to my justice' the woman yelled out and picked a stone. Then Anne was shocked, was this woman really going to hurt Chloe with that?

'If you believe that such women don't belong here, then pick a stone and shoot her heart' the lady even encouraged students to pick stones as well.

Some picked stones, while others were only interested in taking videos. Chloe stared around but there was no Staff, they only appeared when she fought with Amber, but now when she needs them. They won't show up.

'Whoever dares to shoot the first stone should come forward' a manly voice echoed from behind, his aura was so strong that people gave way for him and his huge bodyguards.
