Chapter 96
Were those people innocent? Definitely not! Who told them to jump to conclusions?
Just like in this situation, most people probably thought she caused such a scene just to get back into Wilson’s team. What they didn’t realize was that she was simply standing up for herself
under the nig, and there was no more buzz online.
Thanks to the intervention of the Student Affairs Office, the whole betting issue was swept in
In the end, Luna didn’t manage to scam Wyatt out of any money, which left her feeling a bit disappointed. When she returned to school, she still wasn’t quite in a good mood.
But as soon as she entered the dorm, Nicole excitedly shared some news. “Did you guys hear? The two who were caught up in the betting scandal online paid up
“My goodness, hundreds of thousands of dollars just given away like that! I wonder who the big shot is!”
Luna swallowed nervously. “The school didn’t step in?”
“How could they? That person publicly promised to pay and even said you’d tetum to Professor Hanley’s team. He’d be roasted online if he didn’t pay.” Nicole clicked her tongue.
“Even if the school intervened, they couldn’t stop all the students fmm criticizing im. It’s a matter of his reputation. If he doesn’t pay, his account might get shut down.”
“Plus, there’s a rumor that the account is Wyatt’s anonymous account. If that gets out and he doesn’t pay, he’ll be embarrassed for sure!
That was right. Wyatt, who cared so much about his image, would never back out of a promise.
When Luna heard this, her mood instantly improved–revenge was truly satisfying! Too bad she didn’t get to see Wyatt’s flustered expression. After all, he was used to winning, and losing was the one thing he couldn’t accept.
But little did he know, this was just the beginning of his downfall.
“You all seem so happy. Don’t tell me you were involved, too?” Luna asked, half–folding
Unexpectedly, the other three in the dorm all suddenly looked nervous.
“Don’t be mad! We couldn’t stand that guy’s smug face, so we left some comments cursing him under his post. Who would’ve thought we’d get ten thousand dollars out of it?
There was silence.
And then, Luna laughed. “Don’t tell me it was ten thousand dollars each for the three of you?”
The three nodded eagerly. “Yeah, just got the money. If it bothers you, we’ll return it. We didn’t do it for the money_”
“Tetum it? No way! Everyone gets a share. Dinner tonight’s on you guys!” Luna wasn’t upset at all. She was happy to help her roommates ger back at Wyatt. Talia slapped his chest. “No problem! Not just tonight, but we’ll cover your meals for the next month, too!”
“Yeah, yeah! We’ll treat you to whatever you want to eat,” the other two added.
The four of them laughed and joked as they headed to the cafeteria.
“By the way, Luna, how’s your competition project going?”
in?” Nicole asked as they ate.
Luna thought about their project. “It’s almost done. The thesis report still needs to be reviewed by Professor Wilder.”
“The competition’s in five days. I’m so nervous!” Nicole admitted, looking anxious. “George said itwe win, we may get a chance to stay in Velmora. might end up in a long–distance relationship”
Otherwise, we
Nicole’s boyfriend, George Parry, was in his second year of graduate school. In a year, he’d need to start looking for a job. If Nicole went on to pursue further studies, he wouldn’t be able to stay in Velmora, and they’d end up in a long–distance relationship.
Their project won first place in their past life, and George used his award certificate to apply for internships. Still, Trevor outshone him with a special award of his
OWIL
Although both of them eventually secured internships, George was pushed out when it came to permanent positions. Lima recalled a minor conflict back then- George had nearly been sued by the company
Not long after that, George Belt Velmora, and Nicole was in a deep slump for quite a while. Eventually, she didn’t even get into graduate school.
