Chapter 67. The scapegoat


    Helen’s POV


    We arrived at school and I definitely felt immensely proud of myself at the buzz of excitement and


    gossip that was in the air. Everyone loved a good ol'' piece of scious gossip and I had just given


    them something to sink their teeth into and talk bait for the rest of the year.


    I scrolled down my phone, unable to stop smiling at the meanments that had been left read


    under the nude pictures of Olivia we had posted, using an anonymous ount.


    Slut!


    And she was always acting like a goody two shoes.


    I should have known she was like this.


    Blech


    So ugly


    Despite the barrage of hatements that had been posted, I was not satisfied. I wanted more, but


    I consoled myself with the fact that Olivia would never be able to show her face in public again.


    Trisha and I nced at each other covertly grinning and smiling. Everyone in school was gossiping


    about the pictures calling Olivia all sorts of names. I asionally nced at Lucas and Lucien to


    see their reactions but their expressions were unreadable.


    Don''t worry, my loves. She''ll soon be out of our lives for good. And then… You will be all mine.


    Our sses had been dyed due to the teachers holding an impromptu meeting over the incident.


    Noise red out from every ssroom as students made use of the free period to do as they


    wished.


    I turned to Lucas and Lucien and asked them if they suspected anyone who could be holding


    grudges against Olivia.


    Infusing concern into my voice, I ced a hand over my heart and told them that I believed Olivia


    would be so heartbroken over having her nude pictures leaked.


    “There is one,” Lucas said, anger in his voice as he nced back at Trisha. Trisha wasn’t aware


    that Lucas was staring at her as she was so focused on her phone.


    “But I don’t have any evidence. I mean yesterday was the first time she spent her night at the


    pce and she had a rift with Olivia and came to apologize to her after she already gave a public


    apology to her. Obviously, it seems fishy.,” he added.


    I shook my head sadly and told him that Trisha had been with me the whole night.


    “She was in the room with me all night, Lucas. She is innocent. I think you should think harder if


    there is anyone else.” I said, worriedly as I creased my eyebrows.


    Ugh, all this pretending is taking a toll on my skin. I''ll skin Olivia alive if I see a hint of a wrinkle on


    my face.


    Lucas shook his head as though he didn’t believe me. Lucien also seemed to be deep in his


    thoughts, a rarity for him. I quickly texted Trisha telling her not to let her guard down as the triplets


    were suspicious of her. She texted me back immediately telling me she was scared. I looked at her


    and red at her, wishing I could just smack her head or shake the silliness out of her.


    I quickly sent her a text informing her that I will be her alibi, and that she had no reason to be


    scared. I motioned for her to check her phone and she did, breathing out as a sigh of relief as she


    did.


    Just as I ced my phone on my desk, Lucas picked up his phone and tapped a few buttons,


    seemingly dialing a number. The person picked up and he told the person that he had sent him


    some pictures, so he should find the IP address of the person who sent the pictures to the school


    website.


    I was taken aback, unable to think straight. I didn’t know that Lucas would intervene. Although we


    used a fake IP address, I know that Lucas will get to the bottom of the matter to get the truth. I was


    lost in thoughts and I didn’t hear Lucien calling my name.


    “Helen!” He shouted tapping my shoulder and I quickly turned to him asking him what was wrong.


    “What are you thinking about?” He asked.


    I was short of words as I didn’t know what to say. Just then Lucas curts in and told me not to be


    worried about Olivia and that she would be fine. Lucien smiled and assured me that Olivia will be


    okay. I smiled awkwardly at them and just then Lucas received a call from the person he called


    earlier and he was told that they were unable to find who the owner of the IP address is but the


    pictures he sent to him were photoshopped. Lucas was so angry that he banged his hand on his


    chair, breaking it into pieces. The whole ss was so startled looking at our direction. Lucien


    glowered at them to stop looking at our side. I became so scared as Lucas gave the order to find


    the owner of the IP address at all cost.


    Trisha texted me asking what was wrong but I ignored her text. I smiled awkwardly at Lucan and


    Lucien then excused myself to use the restroom.


    I was angry and at the same time I was scared as I walked to the restroom.


    Who cares if she is okay or not. I hope she stays that way forever not remembering who she is or


    the kind of rtionship she had with the triplets.


    I dialed my dad’s number and he picked up immediately. I told him about the incident and that it will


    only take some time for Lucas to find out that I was behind the whole matter. I plead to him to help


    me out so that I won’t lose the triplets’ favor. My father was mad at me that I didn’t tell him about my


    n. Finally, he agreed to help me after pleading to him. He asked if I had an aplice and I told


    him about Trisha’s involvement.


    “There you have it. The scapegoat will be Trisha.” He said, smiling.

    “Helen!” Trisha screamed out my name.
