chapter 77

--The next day in college, the situation about Laura worsened even more. There was no news about her at all and her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Bailey only blamed the college for her disappearance.As Lucy reached the gate, she pursed her lips on seeing the situation unfold.The principal was doing his best to calm down the situation but the parents were stubborn to confront this in front of everyone."Sir, Mam. I understand your concern. But I have already clarified that Laura had already left college that day. No accident happened here. We cannot answer what happened to her after she left."Mrs. Bailey glared at him with tearful eyes. "How could you not answer! You are the principal!""Mam, what students do after they leave the campus is not under our control and neither do we have any knowledge of it. How can you blame the management?"Mr. Bailey furiously said, "It's because something happened to her in this college! We are sure of that! We didn't know this yesterday but now we came to know that there might be a student who could hold a grudge against my daughter. She did something to her!"Mrs. Bailey burst into tears.The principal was confused. "I don't understand. How could one of the fellow students do anything to Laura Bailey?"Mrs. Bailey wiped her tears. "It must be that girl! My Laura just harmlessly teased her, but she went this far to take her revenge. Where is she? Where is Lucy Hale!?"Lucy widened her eyes in shock. She froze on the spot.W-what? Me!?
