Chapter 60 Be used as a gun at the drop of a hat
Chloe Reynolds supposedly softening her tone was just giving herself a leg up.
After saying that, she gave Victoria a hard look, “In that case, forget it, this time I’ll forget about her badmouthing our family.”
As soon as the words left her mouth, Victoria laughed.
Chloe Reynolds was instantly a little annoyed, her fingertips hanging to one side tightening, “What are you laughing at?”
Victoria got up and looked at her, “Miss Reynolds, you slandered me first in front of so many people, and now that the truth has come out, it’s just as well that you don’t apologize to me, and what you just said, how do you make it seem as if you’re being magnanimous and not bothering with me? Even if you are a Reynolds family member, you can’t have all the favors in the world go to your family, right?”
No one had ever talked to her like that, and Chloe Reynolds was so pissed off she couldn’t say a word.
She even felt like the air she was breathing was hot and she looked over at Olivia Thornton, hoping she would say something. There was no way she was going to be left alone with so many people staring at her.
But Olivia Thornton hung her head and told her in a voice only the two of them could hear, “Victoria is the mistress, she seduced an investor before when she was still a student at Veridian University and was splattered with paint by the investor’s wife, Chloe Reynolds, everyone knew about this before, you’re Miss Reynolds, there’s no need to be afraid of her .”
Olivia Thornton was, after all, thirty-five years old and not as naive as Chloe Reynolds who could be used as a gun at the drop of a hat.
She hung her head at the moment, trying to lower her presence in front of those around her as a way to try and get out of there in one piece.Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
But Chloe Reynolds, whose brain was obviously not too bright, learned the news and her eyes lit up, and went on to say, “Oh, so you were a student at Veridian University too, and you were even a mistress during your time at Veridian University! You are really shameless, how can you still have the face to come back?”
Victoria’s brow furrowed and her gaze went to Olivia Thornton.
Olivia Thornton’s head was slightly bowed, a sneer all around the corners of her mouth.
That was it, as long as she hid behind Chloe Reynolds, no one would know she was the one behind this.
“Oh? Who told you that about me being mistress?”
“Director Thornton said so, she used to be a teacher here and just got promoted to director this year, she should have taught you before right? That’s why she recognized you, I thought you had some kind of unimaginable background, I didn’t expect you to have done such nasty things during your studies.”
With that, Chloe Reynolds turned to the principal. “Headmaster, as you can see, such a mistress, who would believe anything she says? She’s the one who stole my bracelet, maybe she’s been to the staff room since then and quietly took it.”
“And we cannot allow such a person to smear Veridian University, we should find out which class she is in and take back her diploma before she continues to be out there waving the Veridian University sign.”
Chloe Reynolds had a vicious look all over her face and just felt incredibly delighted.
The principal was immediately in a dilemma, and couldn’t help but quietly wipe the sweat from his forehead, not realizing that this scene of the past could still be involved.
Now Nick was still there. That had to be handled properly or Veridian University’s reputation was over.
Chloe expected Victoria to be flustered, but instead she just looked up faintly at Olivia Thornton.
“Really, is that what Director Thornton told you?”
Olivia Thornton’s lips turned pale, secretly cursing Chloe Reynolds for being a dumbass for pulling her down like that.
She had been on the verge of successful invisibility, but she didn’t expect to be pushed back in front of everyone’s eyes now.
The corner of her mouth tugged at the thought that she was a Director, so why should she be afraid of a woman with no power whatsoever.
If Victoria really dared to put out that video she just did of her with Richard Steele, then she would be fine with Victoria in a life-and-death struggle.
The corners of Olivia Thornton’s mouth curved up at the thought, regaining some of her confidence.
“This whole thing is my fault, I shouldn’t have revealed your privacy to anyone.”
The explicit apology alluded to the fact that Victoria was the mistress.
The gazes of the surrounding people looking at Victoria instantly changed, knowing that within this circle, besides plagiarism being unpopular, mistresses were also unpopular.
And the two professions of painters and writers have the highest frequency of cheating, and many boast of going after the liberation of their souls in disregard of etiquette and morality.
Some of the women present at the exhibition had had their families destroyed by such mistresses, so now the gazes they looked at Victoria had turned to mockery, disdain.
Even Emily, looked at Victoria with a surprised look on her face, unable to believe that Victoria was really mistress.
