Chapter 303 A Huge Disappointment Louis' expression was grim, and his tone was harsh. "I want you to be honest with me. Is this friend of yours your backer? Also, did you break up with Benson because you cheated on him?" Sierra was rooted to the spot, and the look of disbelief on her face was unmistakable.
Jemima sat next to her, looking concerned. She disagreed with Louis' take on the matter. "I know who Sierra is. There's a big chance this is just a misunderstanding. She wouldn't have done something like this." Louis looked at Sierra as if she was a big disappointment. "Do you have any idea how big of a mess you just brought to the campus? It's fine if you can't get good grades, but it's deeply troubling when your character is fundamentally flawed." "Wait a minute. What do you mean by my backer and cheating?" Sierra felt a little dazed after she was belittled.
Jemima noticed that Sierra didn't know anything about this. She becmore certain that someone was falsely accusing Sierra.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHowever, he believed Sierra was just playing dumb. He pulled his cell phone out and tossed it to her. He scoffed. "Look at what you've done. Someone has exposed your wrongdoings. Now, everyone's attacking our university." Sierra held the phone up and saw the campus forum she was familiar with. As she scrolled down, her frown deepened.
#Queen of the Keys has an affair. Mr. Gray hurt terribly.# The article made Sierra out to be a cheating, disloyal lady. Meanwhile, Benson becthe man who was deeply in love with her but was unjustifiably hurt. Theo had a part in it too. He was the mysterious meal ticket who had never shown himself to the public.
Sierra laughed angrily. She tossed the cell phone aside and snarled, "What a load of crap!" Louis hurriedly picked up his cell phone. He let out a sigh of relief when he was sure that it wasn't broken. Then, he looked at her, frowning. "What do you mean? Is everything written in the article made up?" If it turned out to be a fake article, then the original poster was out to defthe university. He was determined to pursue full responsibility if that was the case.
Sierra nodded firmly. "It's made up. Benson and I have broken up a long tago. I don't feel like revealing the reason behind it, but I definitely didn't cheat on him." Louis stared at her for a while. Eventually, he grew less skeptical of her. He pointed at the car in the picture and asked, "Who on earth gave you a ride to campus? Get him here to explain everything." Was she supposed to ask Theo to chere? Sierra immediately answered with resolve, "No way. H-He doesn't have that kind of time." Louis' mind raced after she rejected him, and his skepticism cback with a vengeance.
He narrowed his eyes, mentioning sternly, "I don't care if he has the time. We have to get to the bottom of this case. Otherwise, you will be deemed unfit for the competition on account of a misdemeanor." This was the only way to pacify everyone and keep the university's reputation intact.
Sierra paled, and hesitation flashed in her eyes. The competition was an opportunity for her. If she got picked to compete internationally, her standing in the music industry would get a massive boost.
She didn't want to give up on something like that.
However, getting Theo to campus would mean making their relationship public.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhat would happen if they broke up in the future? Should she have tolerated the stress of public opinion and given up on the competition, or should she have risked the gossip if she broke up with Theo in the future? "Sierra, this competition carries a lot of prestige. Are you going to give up on it over something like this?" Jemima couldn't resist reminding Sierra about it in concern.
As far as Jemima was concerned, Sierra was a wonderful student. Her only flaw was that she was impulsive and emotional.
There was a twhen Sierra gave up her bright future and dabbled in business for the sake ƒą man she loved then. Jemima was genuinely worried that Sierra might make another impulsive decision and throw away a hard-earned chance.
Sierra heard the frigidity in Jemima's voice, and she immediately got her senses back. Raising her head she answered, will get him here to explain everything, but this case has causeda great deal of distress. I hope the university authorities will offeran explanation." Louis pondered on it before he nodded decisively. "Consider it done. All you have to do is prove that the post on the campus forum was made up, and we will definitely hold the poster responsible. Your nwill be cleared by then."
The article was meant to undermine Sierra, but it had drawn so much attention that it severely affected the upiversity's reputation. The university authorities wouldn't just let the culprit off the hook, even if she should decide to drop the matter.
