Chereads / The Superstar Rebirth: Viona Amethyst / Chapter 11 - The Scandal

Chapter 11 - The Scandal

Viona walked towards the dance room with a faint smile. She had successfully tarnished Queena's image in the eyes of the students, even though the effects were still minimal. Nevertheless, Viona considered it a suitable solution. But her good mood quickly disappeared as she saw Queena attempting to seduce Mr. Ryanto by undoing the top button of her shirt while gazing seductively at the young instructor through the glass door of the dance club room. The young instructor himself looked uncomfortable, his face flushed, and his gaze unfocused. It seemed Queena had managed to slip an aphrodisiac drink to him when he was off guard.

Tsk. And here Viona had hoped she could prevent Queena from pulling off such a stunt on Mr. Ryanto. But as always, Queena managed to outmaneuver her with the drink. Fortunately, Viona had thought to check the CCTV footage installed by her brother a few days ago.

Viona then forcefully kicked the door open, regardless of whether Queena had locked it from the inside. Viona glared at Queena, hands on her hips. "What are you doing to a teacher, you strange woman?" she asked in a mocking tone.

"Ah... ah... it's not what you think! Mr. Ryanto was trying to touch me inappropriately! Yes. He was trying to harass me!!" Queena exclaimed in panic, adjusting her shirt.

Viona raised an eyebrow. "Just a few days ago, you slandered me and forced me to take responsibility for something I didn't do. Now you're trying to slander an instructor? Seriously, what's going on in your mind?"

"I didn't—" Queena stopped her words when she saw Mr. Ryanto finally collapse, his body covered in sweat. Her panicked expression turned into a sly one. "This is none of your business! Why do you have to interfere?!" she snapped angrily.

"Oh, so now you've decided to drop the act?" Viona asked, raising an eyebrow with a sardonic smile.

"I don't know what your problem is with me, Miss Amethyst, but if you want to enjoy your school life, don't meddle in my affairs! Now, why don't you turn around and go back where you came from?!" Queena yelled in frustration.

"Well, I didn't intend to interfere with your affairs, but you tried to engage in indecent behavior with my dance instructor. How could I just stand by and let that happen? Am I stupid or something? Of course not. I'm not like you," Viona retorted casually.

Queena looked like she was about to lose control and attack Viona. However, for some reason, she held herself back, which only made Viona's smile widen.

"Why? Do you want to hit me? Go ahead, as long as you're not afraid of getting into trouble. After all, all the rooms have been equipped with CCTV, so I can provide evidence of your violent actions," Viona said, pointing to the CCTV camera she was referring to.

"Since when?! I'm sure the last time I checked, there was none!" Queena exclaimed in panic, completely unaware that she had just revealed her own secret.

Viona shrugged casually. "Who knows. Maybe ever since the school found out that a Viona Amethyst is a student here? They surely wouldn't want anything bad to happen to me while I'm at school. It would be hard for them to take responsibility, especially if they don't have proof that it happened on school grounds," she said with a triumphant smile.

"Who are you really?" Queena asked, her face turning pale.

Viona smiled again and showed a video on her phone. "A villain who doesn't want you to get what you want," she whispered while pressing the share button.

She displayed the video of Queena drugging Mr. Ryanto's drink with an aphrodisiac and attempting to seduce the young instructor on the school forum.

"You know, I don't actually hold a grudge against you, but you always do things that harm others. I can't just stand by," Viona said, walking out of the room and asking a few passing students to take Mr. Ryanto to the school clinic.

She left Queena sitting helplessly, pale-faced and powerless.

***

Viona hummed softly, following the rhythm of the music. Her mood was good, and nothing could worsen it, even though Queena had become a nuisance in her daily life again.

The sound of a video call interrupted her actions. Viona immediately answered the call and grinned widely upon seeing her family on the other side of the phone screen.

"Mom! Dad! Big Bro~!" Viona called with a wide grin.

"Viona, are you okay?" Mom asked anxiously.

"Erm... yeah, I'm fine. Why, Mom?" Viona replied with a puzzled expression.

"Your brother saw a video circulating on your school forum," Mom answered, relieved as she smoothed her chest.

Viona raised an eyebrow. "How did he become a member of my school forum?"

"I don't know," Mom answered, looking at Angkasa, who raised his glasses with a flat expression. The others also joined in, curious.

"I was given permission by your School Head to browse there as long as I don't comment on anything," Angkasa answered when his family kept staring at him, demanding an explanation.

Viona nodded in understanding. "By the way, why ask about me? I'm not the one in trouble, so you don't need to worry about me," Viona said, shaking her head with a smile.

"Because we saw that brat trying to hurt you! Even though you're the one who spread the video, it's not impossible for another brat who can't think straight to blame you. We don't want you to be bullied at school, Vii," Mom said with a worried expression.

Viona chuckled softly, "Who would dare to bully me, Mom? Everyone already knows that I'm an Amethyst. They've even thought a hundred times before approaching me, so they wouldn't have the courage to bully me."

"That's good if it's really like that. Being family, of course, we will always feel anxious when you're not here, Vii," Mom said with a gentle smile.

"I understand. And I'm really grateful for your concern. But... I think instead of worrying about me, you should worry more about Big Bro Angkasa~," Viona suddenly said with a mischievous smile.

"Hm? Why?" Dad asked, curious, looking at Angkasa with an investigative gaze.

"Many girls in my class are competing to find out more about Big Brother. Some of them even claim to have gotten Ang's phone number and are trying to flirt with him," Viona replied, laughing playfully.

Angkasa immediately put on a blank face. "I don't respond to anyone except people I know," he said coldly.

"I know. But it's still very interesting to hear those girls unleashing their imaginations which... let's just say are extraordinary. Does Big Bro know that he's depicted as a dominant CEO who will be possessive of his lover? I even heard there's a fanfiction about you with a reader, portraying you as a dominant man who dislikes your woman being close to other men," Viona retorted, recalling things she accidentally overheard.

Angkasa stared at Viona with wide eyes. "Who are they? I need to make sure our lawyer sues those people so they can't just use my name however they want!"

"Calm down, Brother, it's not just you who's a victim of fanfiction, we are too," the twins chimed in with amused voices. They certainly remembered the time when fanfiction dominated the internet. There were so many stories that were actually quite good to read if only the characters weren't the two of them.

Sometimes, a writer's imagination was scarier than the average netizen! Viona just laughed.
