Sophia sneered. âDonât you have any inkling as to why she keeps targeting me even though thereâs no grudge with her? Iâm sorry, but since sheâs your fiancée, Iâll hold you accountable for whatever she does.
Just wait for it!â
Although the saying went along the lines of never airing oneâs family laundry and having a row with the ex in public would be embarrassing, she didnât have the time and energy to beat around the bush with them.
She hoped that she could settle it once and for all.
She gladfully put down the loudspeaker and decided to leave.
Xylaâs petite body trembledâshe couldnât believe that Richard would be so heartless.
Looking around her surroundings, she noticed that Joe and Faye enjoyed watching her misfortune.
She actually did those two incidents as a favor for Faye, but it would be in vain even if she tried to push the responsibility to others at that moment.
At last, Xyla finally revealed her true colors after feigning to be an obedient girl for a long time. âYes, Iâm the one. Itâs all my fault whereas youâre completely innocent, Richard!â
She now resembled a deranged woman, wailing and screaming incoherently, âYouâre right; everything is my fault! Do you think that Iâm not aware that you secretly contacted that b*tch? Both of you secretly dated and kissed during the military training. You had s*x with her without shame in the infirmary.
Did you think that I didnât know about that? Your mother even wants you to keep her as a lover out of my sight and wants her to be treated equally as me! Once you know that she married an old man, whoâs almost dead, all of you started to contrive a plot to seize her assets. I know all of your schemes!â
Considering that she was overcome with grief and indignation, she pointed at Joe and Richard. âAmong the two of you, one claims to be her family and tries to go after that old manâs wealth while Richard, you are collaborating with Sophia to snatch all of her husbandâs properties! I know it all.
Upon having his thoughts exposed, Richard shouted out of anger, âShut up!â
âIâll never!â Xyla wailed while yelling. âArenât you planning to reconcile with her and seize that old manâs property by pushing all the blame to me? It will never happen! Iâm going to expose all of your schemes today.â
She had painstakingly schemed to be his girlfriend and was successfully engaged with him. Just when she thought that she could marry into the Harper family and become a wealthy married woman, she was gotten rid of as soon as she outlived her usefulness.
Turning her attention to Sophia and him by pointing at them, she raised her voice and told the students, âThis disgusting couple has plotted it from the beginning to kill her husband. Then, they will take possession of the properties for themselves. Iâve heard all of it. This couple is ridiculously shameless!â
The students burst into an uproar as they were shocked to discover the despicable truth behind the incidents.
Rumors had it that Sophiaâs husband was extremely wealthy and had already one foot in the grave.
Besides, he had only one son, so upon his death, she would inherit his wealth.
It turned out that she collaborated with Richard and schemed to kill that old man before equally distributing the assets among themselves!
What a clever plot!
She initially had walked far ahead, but turned in anger and aimed the loudspeaker at him and Xyla.
âLet me explain this for the one last time. My husband is indeed extremely wealthy, but heâs not old. In fact, heâs only in his 30s. Heâs also young, strong and handsome. Weâll have our kids after I graduate. Itâs just your wishful thinking if youâre scheming for my husbandâs property!
Besides, my husband is far better than Richard in all aspects. I must be blind to have made up with a b*stard, who has been through several nasty relationships! Richard, you should be more concerned about your sexual disease instead.â
Sexual disease?!
Everyone paled in shock and instantly moved a few meters away from Richard. At that moment, everyone suddenly recalled that he had plenty of s*x videos circulating around, considering that he had engaged in intimate relations with lots of prostitutes in nightclubs.
In an instant, his face darkened while glaring at Sophia with clenched teeth. On the other end, she had already put down the loudspeaker and left briskly.
His sexual disease was merely a nonsense that she cooked up. Making rumors is indeed fun!
Even though she was gone, the swarm of students were still staring at him and Xyla.
Joe, who was the one who first caused trouble, suddenly yelled in the tone of a dying pig screaming, âRichard, you b*stard! How dare you scheme for my son-in-lawâs property?!â
B*stard, you were almost tricked by him!
After all, Richard was Sophiaâs first love. If he collaborated with her, Joe wouldnât get a penny of that old manâs property!
Richard shook his head and wanted to leave. However, the vice chancellor, who had been silent, startled everyone when he bellowed, âRichard, Xyla. I want both of you in my office now!â
No wonder Joe had passionately questioned Sophia about her husbandâs whereabouts. It turned out that he plotted for such a disgusting plan! Trying to kill Michael and seize his property?!
Although Michael wasnât recognized by the Fletcher Family, he was still Joeâs nephew. He was also undeniably the descendent of the FletchersâTheo Fletcherâs son and Mark Fletcherâs grandson!
The Fletcher Family wasnât dead!
With a gloomy face, Richard followed the vice chancellor. Xyla followed them as well after wiping her tears.
Although she was crying on the exterior, she was actually delighted in her heart.
After a row like that, it would be impossible for him to shamelessly talk to Sophia again.
If they had the guts to remain in touch, it would only prove that they were indeed a disgusting couple.
Sophia, you canât have Richard anyway!
It was only then that the students slowly dispersed.
Meanwhile, the universityâs forum and all alumni group websites blew up with videos of the huge row earlier in the day.
Therefore, everyone came up with a new topic, âWho exactly is Sophiaâs husband?â
Some said that he was an old man but Sophia mentioned that he was only in his 30s.
Her husband could afford to donate buildings and it was said that it was more than one piece of it, which meant that he was someone influential and no longer young.
There were many graduates from Bayside University who now lived a successful lifeâand many had anonymously donated buildings. Since it was done anonymously, it meant that no information could be found.
The incident was therefore an outstanding case.
After a few days, the university had announced the punishment toward Richard and Xyla on the universityâs bulletin board and official website.
âA serious demerit?!â
The students pointed at the bulletin board and discussed among themselves when they saw that those two had been punished with a serious demerit.
âUnbelievable! Isnât it a simple mistake of spreading rumors? Why are they punished with a serious demerit? If itâs not removed before their graduation, wonât it affect their entire life? They canât even graduate like that!â
âGetting a serious demerit is considered being lenient to them. The victim donates buildings to the university, but they try to scheme for his properties instead. They deserve it! I think that they should have been expelled!â
âOh my God, look! Taylor is coming to the university for a talk.â
In addition to the usual good news and disciplinary notices, there were other kinds of event notices and posters on the bulletin board.
âWhat? Taylor is coming for a talk? When? Let me see!â
A brand new poster with Taylorâs handsome face on it was posted on the bulletin board. The poster announced that he would be giving a talk for the students of Bayside University on the 18th of the current month in Bayside Universityâs auditorium.
âOh my God. Is it true that Taylor is coming to give a talk? Oh my, Iâm registering for it!â
âTaylor is so impressive. He even donated one of the buildings in the university!â
âHuh, donate a building? Didnât Taylor donate a building to the university before? He also donated facilities to the university. Besides, heâs also in his 30s. Could it be thatâ¦â
Sophia was coincidentally looking at the disciplinary notice as well. A student beside her quickly asked, âSophia, who exactly is your husband?â
While she chewed on a gum, she pouted her lips. âDidnât you already guess it? Yes, my husband is Taylor.â
