Chapter 6


    In the end, after her speech, Sophia returned to her seat under the crowd’s scrutiny.


    Among therge group of goody-two-shoes university students, Sophia stood out with her pretty face


    and bold clothes. Her affairs spread like wildfire throughout the university after what happened just


    now.


    The freshman orientation ended soon, and everyone got up to leave the auditorium.


    Sophia took her time and walked out of the auditorium when there were less people. Nothing happened


    when sses started over the first few days in the university. Nevertheless, there were the freshman


    orientation, freshmen meeting, hostel distribution and the works.


    My priority right now is to win thewsuit to prove my innocence. Otherwise, Bayside University might


    expel me over this distasteful incident.


    It was impossible for Sophia not to know who had set her up.


    Dr. yton was the one who ruined my reputation. As long as I follow the clues and continue


    investigating him, I should be able to uncover interesting things, Sophia thought to herself while walking


    out of the auditorium. She walked along the boulevard to the parking booth to look for her motorbike.


    The freshman orientation had almost ended by then, and so students were leaving one after another.


    Most sophomores and juniors had yet to return to the university, and so there weren’t many people on


    the boulevard. There were the asional students along the route, but those were rare.


    Suddenly, Sophia came to aplete halt in her steps because there was a couple in front of her


    entangled in a make out session. She thought the back view seemed rather familiar. Isn’t that Richard


    and X?


    The guy had a clean white shirt on, whereas the girl was wearing a crisp, white sundress. They looked


    like a prince and princess who had just walked out of a fairytale. In fact, they looked like a match made


    in heaven.


    This scene looks familiar.


    A year ago, I had the worst fight with Richard in our rtionship over something simr to this scene.


    That day, I walked out of the high school library and witnessed a handsome couple making out


    passionately in the grove. I felt my world crumbling around me at that moment, and there was a ringing


    sound in my ears. I felt as if someone was stabbing my heart repeatedly.


    I always knew that X had a crush on Richard. I just didn’t expect them to end up together.


    I was stupid enough to expose them on the spot. Richard and X kept apologizing to me profusely. I


    lost it and pped X so hard that she got a nosebleed. In the end, Richard spat, “I didn’t expect you


    to be so unreasonable.” Then, he left with a weeping X.


    From then on, Richard and I couldn’t return to the way things were before, and we started a cold war.


    I just entered senior year in high school, and schoolwork was getting even more demanding. I felt


    increasingly pressured with the cold war I had with Richard; coupled with the sudden change in


    weather, I came down with a cold. Hence, I was forced to get some medication from the high school


    hospital. Unexpectedly, Dr. yton diagnosed me as two-months pregnant after giving me a once-over


    when I was merely having a cold.


    Furthermore, there were many students in the hospital that day. Rumors of my pregnancy spread


    because I was a well-known figure, who often represented the student body, and had received many


    awards along the way.


    I was well aware of whether or not I was pregnant. I’d been together with Richard since sophomore


    year in high school. We did nothing apart from holding hands, and I’d never had other boyfriends


    before him.


    I begged the principal on bent knees not to expel me. I kneeled in front of Richard to beg him to trust


    me, but in return, he stared at me with nothing but disgust.


    Today, the familiar scene reyed in front of her once again. However, unlike the past, Sophia no


    longer felt any heartache. On the contrary, she felt the irony of the situation, as if the entire situation


    was taunting her.


    The couple in front of her finally stopped making out, and they separated shortly. X clung onto


    Richard’s arm affectionately while smiling sweetly at him in a docile manner. Her gaze was tender and


    loving while she stared at the man in front of her.


    Sophia could see X’s tender expression from her position. X could see her too, but Richard


    couldn’t.


    Triumph shed through X’s eyes when she saw Sophia. It was the exact same look she had a year


    ago.


    Nevertheless, Sophia’s face maintained a nk expression; she just put on her pair of sunsses and


    earphones calmly. She switched on her music and brushed shoulders with the two of them casually


    with a spring in her step.


    X felt slightly puzzled. Didn’t she see us?


    She couldn’t possibly look like that if she saw us.


    Previously, when Sophia was expelled, she went to the Harper Family continuously for several days to


    beg Richard for help. At that time, she acted like a lowly dog. I’m sure she’s overwhelmed deep down


    in her heart when she ran into the love of her life again!


    Hence, X deliberately called out for Sophia, who walked past them. “Sophia? Is that you, Sophia?


    What a coincidence!”


    Richard snapped back to his senses, as if he had woken up from a dream. Something gleamed in his


    eyes, and he seemed as if he was about to say something. However, Sophia acted as though she did


    not see them, and she walked past them lightly and swiftly.


    X wouldn’t let it go, and so she chased after Sophia to tap her on her shoulder before greeting her


    with a friendly smile, “Sophia, Sophia!”


    Sophia finally stopped walking to turn around to look at the couple. She took her sunsses off,


    revealing herrge and dark eyes. She looked up at themzily. “What’s the matter?”


    X clung onto Richard, like a winner shower off her spoils of war. “Sophia, who would have thought


    we’d meet again in university! We are schoolmates again! Why don’t Richard and I take you out for


    Japanese today? Our treat! We can go to the restaurant you’ve always been reluctant to splurge on!”


    Having Japanese food was just like any other meal for the couple, but for Sophia, it was once even


    more luxurious than a Christmas feast.


    Sophia wore her earphones back on coldly. “I’m not free.”


    She turned around to continue walking forward.


    X wouldn’t give up, and she chased after her. “Sophia, didn’t the school expel you previously? How


    did you end up in South Bayside High School? Did your new boyfriend send you there?”


    New boyfriend!


    Richard, who was nearby, clenched his fists tightly reflexively when he heard that term.


    True enough, she has another man. If it weren’t for the help of another man, how could she have


    possibly entered Bayside University?


    It seems like someone else has been keeping her on the side all along, whereas she has been lying to


    me all this while! She has been toying with my feelings all along!


    Naturally, Sophia knew what stunt X was trying to pull. She seeded in snatching Richard away.


    What is the point of dragging me into the drama now?


    Therefore, Sophie continued walking forward while ignoring X. X was about to say something to


    Sophia, but Richard dragged her back viciously while reprimanding her, “What is there to chat about


    with someone like her? Is it not humiliating enough for you?!”


    X’s adorable face scrunched up sadly. She held onto Richard’s hand innocently while swaying


    slightly to soothe him. “I have always had a good rtionship with Sophia. Previously, I was the one


    who snatched you away from her, and I’ve always felt bad about it. Now that we are in the same


    university, it’ll be so awkward whenever we bump into each other. I’m just trying to resolve the


    misunderstanding between Sophia and me as soon as possible…”


    Richard regarded the adorable girl in front of him, and he was once again impressed by her kindness.


    He couldn’t help himself and kissed her rosy cheek while speaking to her in a serious tone, “I have no


    feelings for Sophia at all. You are the only one in my heart, and you’re the only person I love.”

    X blushed, and she threw herself into Richard’s arms. She punched his chest yfully with her small


    fists. “Richard, you’re making me blush…”


    Out of Richard’s sight, a trace of twisted triumph gleamed in those adorable and pretty eyes.


    Even though she managed to enter the same university, Sophia can never snatch Richard away from


    me!


    Previously, I ruined her reputation, and so I can very well achieve the same thing in this university!


    Her time in Bayside University is limited!


    At the same time, Sophia, who was already sitting on her Yamaha bike while fastening her helmet,


    sneezed. She had an odd feeling, as if someone was talking about her behind her back.


    I said that I’m filing awsuit, and so I will go to court.


    I’m not sure what Michael’s job is. The strange thing is that, despite hisrge family business and


    handsome face, I just couldn’t find anything online about him. There are countless ‘Michael Fletchers’


    online, but none of them matches his description.


    Apart from my marriage certificate, I just can’t seem to find a trace of him elsewhere.


    However, I know that Michael is extremely influential and powerful. In fact, he has the ability not to y


    by the rules. Previously, I begged the principal on bent knees to not expel me, but he rejected me. On


    the other hand, Michael secured my education path and household registration within less than a day.


    He even got me into Bayside City’s best high school, South Bayside High School, without a hitch.


    Michael’s right-hand man, Hale, already investigated everything on behalf of Sophia.


    It was true that Dr. yton framed her. A school doctor like Dr. yton wouldn’t find trouble with a poor


    student for no reason. The only exnation was that he was paid to do that. At that time, Dr. yton


    had indeed received an unounted deposit of 200,000 in his bank ount.


    On the second day of the semester, Dr. yton of Riverdale High School received a subpoena from


    the court.


    He had long forgotten about what happened six months ago. In fact, Sophia, who was chased out of


    the school in utter humiliation, was thest thing on his mind. Hence, he was in shock when he


    received the court subpoena. He panicked and broke into cold sweat.


    Previously, when I received the money, she promised that there wouldn’t be any problems for me.


    There haven’t been any issues over a year. Why am I receiving a court subpoena now all of a sudden?!


    The person suing me is none other than the poor student from before, Sophia Edwards!


    Dr. yton made a phone call in a hurry. After dialing the number, a female voice greeted him soon


    enough from the other end of the line. Dr. yton started scolding her over the phone, “Didn’t you


    promise me that there wouldn’t be any issues? I’ve received a court subpoena now! So what should I


    do now?!”


    The person on the other end of the line sounded like a young girl. She started sobbing softly, as if she


    was extremely heartbroken. “Dr. yton, I’m so sorry. I was immature at the time, and I was just pulling


    a prank. I didn’t expect things to get out of hand, nor did I expect Sophia to be expelled. I least


    expected you to end up with awsuit; I honestly wasn’t expecting this!”


    In reality, Dr. yton had no idea who she was. Previously, before Sophia dropped by the school


    hospital for a check-up, he received a phone call that instructed him to diagnose her as pregnant. He


    was promised 200,000 uponpletion of the task. In fact, he received 100,000 on the spot in his


    bank ount and another 100,000 after hepleted the task.


    Therefore, Dr. yton issued Sophia a pregnancy diagnosis report that destroyed her reputation in


    school. After that, he received 100,000 as promised.


    Seeing as the girl on the other end of the line sounded young, he figured she was most probably a


    lawless rich kid. Dr. yton wanted nothing more than to shift the me, and so he advised her softly,


    “You are still young, and so it’s natural to make mistakes. Everyone deserves a second chance as long


    as they are capable of change. They won’t do anything to you since you were still a minor at that time.”


    The girl sobbed over the phone before replying to him in a determined tone, “Dr. yton, don’t worry.


    Once you’re in court, you just have to state that Ka Harper, who was in high school senior year


    Alpha ss at the time, instructed you to do that. Exin that you had nothing to do with the incident


    and just me everything on me, Ka Harper!”


    Dr. yton let out a sigh of relief, and hemitted the name to memory. After hanging up on the call,


    he immediately showed up at court. He was extremely cooperative with the investigation. Ka Harper


    did everything! I had nothing to do with it!
