Chapter 189 Clearing Her Name


    While heading out for lunch in the afternoon, Wendy and Linda


    walked past a few students outside the office building. She could hear them whispering behind her


    back.


    Linda turned to look at her in concern. "What say we don''t go to the cafeteria anymore? How does


    takeout in the office sound?" she suggested.


    Wendy pursed her lips in reply. "I''m fine, Linda. I didn''t do anything wrong." she said firmly.


    "But don''t you feel annoyed? It feels like I''m being tailed by a pesky fly," Linda said.


    "It''s fine, it''s just lunch. Plus, people would deem me even more suspicious if I hid in the shadows,"


    Wendy said while remaining a calm demeanor.


    Linda fell silent after seeing how insistent she was.


    The restaurant was originally bustling with life, but after Wendy showed up, many heads turned around


    to stare at her with judgmental eyes.


    She thought the saying, ''good news stays hidden, while bad news always spreads far and wide''


    couldn''t be more true now.


    She queued up to get her food as usual, but before she could dig in, she noticed a counselor from the


    English Department walking up to her.


    While standing at the table''s edge, the man stared at her with a stern look on his face. "Miss Evans,


    Jason Bell here. Do you mind if I talk to you about the matter regarding Avril?" he asked.


    "You must be Avril''s counselor," she said while gazing at him with a calm expression on her face.


    "That''s right," he said.


    "Sure, take a seat," she said with a nod.


    He then sat opposite her and started, "I read the posts from a few assistant professors from your


    faculty in the forum rifying the incident with Avril earlier today. Do you have any evidence to back up


    their ims of you being unrted to the incident?"


    He''d said it pretty loudly too. It was clear that he was here to stand up for his student.


    She felt speechless. Why was she the one who had to bear the brunt of his anger while he fought for


    justice for his student?


    She put down her cutlery and stared at him with eyes full of determination. "Tell me then, Mr. Bell, why


    should I be the one to present the evidence when I''ve clearly done nothing wrong? I don''t see YOU

    going to all the people who used me for proof, so why should I take the me for this for no reason


    at all?" she argued.


    "I went to Avril and she told me that only the four of you were present with her when she confessed to


    Master Henson. So, even if it wasn''t you who did it, it''s definitely got to be one of the others,"  he


    snapped.


    Linda became upset after hearing that and mmed both her hands on the table. "Mr. Bell, even the


    police need evidence to solve their cases, so what makes you think you can just use us willy-nilly?


    If you insist on pinning the me on us, I suggest you show us your proof,"


    she said loud and clear, which made


    him even bolder. "Is there even any need for it toe to this? Only the four of you were present at the


    time, so if none of you spilled the beans, no one would be the wiser, no? Avril''s still young, so was it


    wrong of her to develop feelings for someone and eventually confess to them?


    Can you all even wrap your head around how much pain she had to endure because of that? Her


    bravery had cost her her dignity, and now she''s theughing stock of the entire campus.
