Chapter 228
Roxanne’s expression instantly turned very sour.
She narrowed her eyes, a wave of unease surging within her.
Elon’s arrival was clearly detrimental to Roxanne.
He was not someone she could afford to offend.
“Mr. Gray” Oneida suddenly broke the silence, her gaze fixing on Elon as she continued in a low voice, “This is not just a
rumor.
Elon was also looking at Oneida
His eyes softened slightly as he responded, “What is it then?”
Oneida’s eyes sharpened, a chilly light flickering in her gaze as she glanced discretely at Roxanne, and said coldly, “That’s something you’ll have to ask her about.
At this, both Xavier and Elon’s eyes simultaneously fell on Roxanne.
“Roxanne, are you involved in this?” Xavier frowned, clearly puzzled.
Roxanne was a superstar scholar and a model student. Xavier couldn’t believe she had anything to do with spreading such foolish rumors.
Elon looked down at Roxanne with a probing intensity in his eyes.
Roxanne looked up slightly with a calm expression.
“Obviously, it has nothing to do with me.”
Roxanne denied it again, unwilling to admit even a sliver of involvement.
Roxanne explained calmly and steadily, “Just now, Oneida has checked my phone and my forum account. She found nothing amiss. So, the rumors have nothing to do with me.
Hearing these words, Oneida let out a brief snicker.
She stared directly at Roxanne with an icy expression and questioned, “Just because you say you have nothing to do with it. does that really make it so?
“Your account indeed made no postings, because…” Oneida slightly narrowed her eyes and continued, “You had someone else post for you!”
Speaking of which, Oneida unlocked Roxanne’s phone. Then she logged on to Roxanne’s messaging app and found a specific chat history.
The chat history was a conversation between Roxanne and that poster.
The poster who posted on the forum was just a paid online commenter, skilled at making posts and spinning tales on
Internet forums.
Although Roxanne had the photo of Oneida and Elon, she wasnt adept at crafting forum narratives, so she enlisted this ghostwriter to post for her.
She also sent over the photo she had taken of Oneida and Elon

Chapter 228
When necessary, the photo could serve as a smoking gun.
That was the truth of the whole story.
Roxanne had orchestrated everything
Roxanne’s eyes widened in disbelief as she beheld her char logs discovered by Oneida. Despite her desire to speak, she found herself mute, as if an invisible barrier had lodged itself in her throat.
Oneida then turned and handed the phone to Xavier.
“Mr. Zook, all the evidence is in this phone. I think it’s best that you keep it.”
Xavier took the phone and read the chat history on it.
His expression immediately turned dark and stern.
He was truly unwilling to believe that one of his proudest and most talented students, Roxanne, who was celebrated for her excellence in both character and academia, could actually commit such a vile act.
How could Roxanne do those things?
Xavier felt heartbroken.
“Will you not admit it yet?” Xavier coldly glanced at Roxanne, and his tone suddenly became serious.
Roxanne bit her lip, her eyes wide open, but she remained silent
Elon looked at Roxanne coldly and said detachedly. “After all this, you’re still so defiant. I don’t understand what you gain from slandering Oneida and me. Why did you go to such length?”
Roxanne clenched her fingers, struggling to maintain her composure.
Why would she do this?
One reason was because of Hendrick.
Roxanne liked Hendrick, very much. But Hendrick would rather be close to Oneida than her.
Oneida stole what Roxanne most wanted, Hendrick’s admiration and attention.
During the Starr Training Camp, Hendrick took great care of Oneida.
Roxanne really hated it.
For the other, as Oneida’s influence continued to grow, Roxanne feared that one day Oneida would surpass her, so she decided to take action to curb Oneida’s rise.
That was why Roxanne came up with such a plan.
“You need to publicly apologize!” Elon’s stern voice suddenly sounded in Roxanne’s ear, causing her body to shiver involuntarily.
A public apology?
Wouldn’t that ruin Roxanne’s reputation completely?
“No.” Roxanne shook her head vehemently, and her eyes finally showed panic. She said in a trembling voice, “I can apologize.”
08:16 Thu, Nov 28 7.
Chapter 228-
Roxanne finally compromised. She felt frightened.

She turned to Oneida with a guilty look and said, “Oneida, I apologize to you, and I will apologize to Mr. Gray, but can we do it privately?
Oneida pursed her lips slightly and replied with a sneer, “But I don’t think that’s enough. You tarnished my reputation by spreading rumors about me. You must apologize to us publicly restore our reputation.”
“Absolutely, Oneida is spot on.” Elon also nodded in agreement. Dis eyes looked serious as he continued, “You must make a public apology
“Let’s just do that!” Navier said and sighed. Then he collly ordered Roxanne, “Go to the campus broadcasting room to give your apology, and then post an official apology statement on the forum.
Upon hearing this, Roxanne froze on the spot. Her entire body ind become stiff.
If she made an apology in the broadcasting room, she couldn’t ever stay on the campus in the future.
She would probably become the laughingstock of the entire Imperial Star University.
Even though Roxanne was extremely reluctant, she went to the broadcasting room under Xavier’s pressure.
The broadcast of Imperial Star University could be heard in every corner of the campus.
Roxanne, facing the microphone, slowly recited the apology she had prepared in advance.
Hello everyone, I’m Roxanne Adkins from the second–year Starlight Class. I’m here today to apologize to Oneida and to Mr. Gray, I shouldn’t have used such dirty tricks to spread rumors and slander them…”
Roxanne’s words, transmitted through the broadcast, reached the ears of everyone on the campus.
They were stunned.
What was going on?
The broadcast today did not feature music; instead, it involved someone delivering an apology.
Even more shocking, the person apologizing was the famous Roxanne.
It turned out that the recent turbulent incident about Oneida was a complete conspiracy.
It was all orchestrated by Roxannel
They couldn’t believe how could Roxanne stoop to such an unethical level.
In a flash, the apology from the broadcasting room became the bot topic of discussion among all the students of Imperial Star University.
Everyone was utterly astonished.
Then they couldn’t help but revile Roxanne.
She was too evill
The students thought Roxanne was a true wolf in sheep’s clothing. How could she be so malicious and nearly destroy Oneida’s reputation?
At the same time, Roxanne issued an apology post on the campus forum.
