Chapter 420

“I know what you’re thinking. The fact is just as you think.” Linda noticed. everyone’s sympathetic

gazes. She did not avoid them. Instead, she looked at everyone present frankly.

“I was once a victim of domestic sexual assault. This is a secret that I can never bring myself to say,

but I can’t wrap fire in paper. I fainted during a PE class. because of an ectopic pregnancy. From then

on, my classmates began to bully me. I endured campus bullying for a year.

“During that period, I didn’t dare to tell my mother. I was even more afraid that the school would contact

my parents, so I chose to transfer schools. It was also at Pollister High School that I met Rachel.

“After Rachel and the others found out what happened to me, they tried their best to help me, so we

discussed our escape plan. However, my beast father found out about this and took the opportunity to

lock us up. Later, my mother picked up a knife during an argument with him and accidentally killed him.

The four of us successfully escaped.

“After that, Adrian, a lawyer from Seaxas, found out what happened to me and had been helping my

mother fight for a lighter punishment. I studied abroad with the Johnson family’s help.” Linda had

thought that these words would be difficult to say, but she found that after saying them in one breath,

she felt unprecedentedly relaxed and carefree.

“I want to tell everyone that Rachel didn’t kill anyone, nor did she participate in the killing. They have

been protecting and taking care of me in their own way! The real murderers are unscrupulous reporters

like you who talk about benevolence and morality and think that you can use your pens to seek justice!”

As soon as she finished speaking, the surroundings fell silent.

However, the public opinion online changed a lot.

“Reporters nowadays are really getting more and more immoral!”

“They maliciously slandered others to create stunts. This kind of person is not worthy of being a

reporter!”

“A bunch of reporters from unknown newspaper offices are really embarrassing the media industry!”

Rachel ignored the comments on the bullet screen and asked coldly, “Have you investigated the

background of these reporters?”

“They’re from all the local newspaper offices in Pollister.” David held Rachel’s hand and said

unhurriedly, “I’ve already sent someone to investigate. I believe there will be a result soon.”

Rachel nodded. Her almond–shaped eyes were filled with unclear coldness. “Tell

me when you get a result. I want to deal with it personally.”

Her tone was indifferent and slow, carrying a chilling deterrence.

Outside the door, Mary and Jessica were discussing in low voices.

“There’s something strange about what happened today.”

Jessica responded and said leisurely, “This matter seems to be directed at the three of us, but the

reporters are all targeting Rachel.”

“This is Pollister.” Mary looked at Jessica with a meaningful smile.

There were many people who did not want to see Rachel live a good life in Pollister, but the last person

who wanted to see Rachel live a good life was none other than Lily.

As the two of them spoke, Linda and Naomi returned from outside.

“Mary, Jessica.” Linda saw them and quickly walked up. “Where’s Rae–Rae?”

“She is in her room.”

The three of them walked into the room and happened to see Rachel on the phone. “Erase all

information related to the case from five years ago and strictly control the public opinion of this online

live broadcast. Block the Internet forums and don’t let anyone mention it again.”

After she hung up, David got a piece of news. “Maybe you can take a look at this.”

As he spoke, he handed the phone to Rachel.

There was a photo on the phone.

The woman in the photo was dressed loosely and was wearing a cap, trying her best to hide her true

identity.

Rachel’s gaze landed on the bracelet on the woman’s wrist. Her eyes narrowed slightly, and a cold glint

appeared in her eyes.
