"What are you trying to say? If it’s meaningless nonsense, then you don’t have to say it," Ashton Heath impatiently interrupted before she finished.
Lillian White’s expression stiffened, the smile on her lips turning rigid.
Looking at the man’s impatient, cold gaze, she swallowed her saliva and quickly said, "Mr. Brandon, I don’t know if you have seen the posts on our campus forum. Some people have exposed some things about Joanna Lawrence’s high school period. They said that she dated many men during high school and even had an abortion at a hospital!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she felt the surrounding temperature plummet, an instant chill enveloped her.
Taken aback, she looked up into a pair of cold and threatening eyes.
A hint of murderous intent even flashed across the man’s deep, chill-filled eyes.
Lillian White felt a sudden icy chill from head to toe, penetrating down to her bones.
A wave of fear rose within her, making her instinctively take a step back, as her voice trembled, "Mr... Mr. Brandon, everything I said is true. You can check it on our school forum. Many people from the same school as Joanna Lawrence in high school are saying the same thing. She really... she is not as simple as she appears."
"Don’t be deceived by her."
"I just... just want you to know her true colours."
Standing next to her, Gretchen Skerit dared not make a sound, struck with fear at the sight of Ashton Heath’s murderous aura.
She tightly gripped Lillian’s arm and whispered anxiously, "Lillian, stop talking, let’s leave."
But Lillian wasn’t ready to just leave.
Looking at Ashton Heath’s handsome face, she felt even more aggrieved.
Why could a woman as casual as Joanna Lawrence find such an excellent man?
Even if she wasn’t as pretty as Joanna, at least she was cleaner than Joanna!
At least she wouldn’t do something as disgusting as having an abortion while still in high school.
Lillian knew very well, an excellent man like him would never look at her.
Even if there was no possibility between them, she couldn’t let an innocence pretender like Joanna Lawrence triumph.
"Mr. Brandon, I am not lying to you." Lillian glared at Joanna resentfully, her emotions surging. She shook off Gretchen’s hand, rushed in front of Ashton Heath and quickly said, "Everyone in our school knows about this."
"If you don’t believe me, you can ask them. They know too."
She pointed toward a group of girls spectating.
Moments ago, those girls were gossiping about Joanna.
Now that Lillian pointed them out, they immediately retreated a couple of steps, looking as if they didn’t know her, "Hey, don’t spout nonsense. What you’ve heard is your business. We don’t know anything."
Even though they were jealous of Joanna, and displeased that she had found such an excellent man, they weren’t fools.
The man before them had previously stood up for Joanna.
He got her two roommates expelled from school.
Clearly, this man was very powerful.
They were about to graduate and didn’t want any trouble.
Fearful of getting involved, they left in haste, not even staying to watch the drama unfold.
Gretchen Skerit was worried about being implicated too and quickly urged, "Lillian, please stop talking nonsense! The forum is just rumors without solid evidence. The cafeteria is about to start serving food, let’s go grab a seat."
