Chapter 48
“Let’s go to the hospital and look for Julian We can still turn this around as long as he’s willing to tell the truth,” I said firmly.
Lila accompanied me to the hospital..
“Serena, you’ve finallycome to see me! Jalan seemed pleasantly surprised. After that, he seemed to remember something, and his expression quickly switched to one of arrogance. “I told you to reconcile with me, but you refused to listen. Have you finally learned your lesson?”
Iwas starting to regret coming to the hospital
“Are you behind this whole thing online?” looked at Julian with a brows
Julian looked shocked. “How could I be? Most of the people might have been cursing at you since the incident blew up, but plenty have been targeting me too. Why would I ruin my own reputation for no reason?”
1 was about to retort but said nothing in the end
“Since you came to me, does that men you’re willing to reconcile?” Julian pressed,
Talenty shook my head. “You and I are the only ones who know what happened that day. Can you help me clarify everything? That video was clearly maliciously edited by someone.
Theld out a sliver of hope in my heart but not too much. Sure enough, Julian said with a sinister smile, “Sure.”
I looked at him expectantly, but there was no way he was going to make it so easy.
He continued, “As long as you’re willing to reconcile with me, immediately release a statement to prove mur innocence. After all, I wouldn’t be able to bear seeing my girlfriend get harassed online.”
Lila stepped forward. She had to hold herself back from pointing a finger at Julian and berating him. “palian, you’re just trying to take advantage of the situation. I can’t believe how despicable you are.”
He chuckled “Despicable? So what? This is just how express my love to Serena.”
Lila semed ready to kill him at that point. “You despicable scoundrel!
“So, what do you think?” Julian looked at me. “Serena, if you came to me, it must mean you have no other choice, right? I’m your last hope, aren’t 12” Then, after a moment, he asked with a frown, “Why are you looking at me like that?
Suddenly, I let out a laugh “Julian, I never thought you’d stop this low,”
“What do you mean?” Julian couldn’t help but try to avoid my gaze
“You’re just pathetic,” I said.
“You” He was speechless.
I turned to leave. “Take care of yourself, Julian. Thinking about it, you’ve actually contributed to my online harassment too, haven’t you?”
My gaze fell on his bandaged wrist before I walked away,
julian’s frustrated shouts could be heard behind me. “Come back! Serena, comeback Only I can help you. Only I can…
Outside the hospital, I noticed that lahad her head lowered the whole time.
“What’s wrong, Lila? Are you feeling sick? I asked with some concern
She replied “put feel so bad for you”
Lila continued, tears started to fall, You worked so hard to get into randview University. But just as you’re about to graduate, this happens..
I deft helpless as well, but there was a surge of defiance inside me. Icouldn’t be expelled just like that Grandview University was a prestigious institution, and I had gone through so much to get in back then.
i wasn’t going to let these wiline discussions ruin my future.
I raised a hand and wiped away Uld’s tears.
looked at me with her reddened yes. “How are you still smiling? Serena, why aren’t you worried at all?
“barryone’s trying to frate the, but I won’t let things go the way they want,” I said. Then, I pulled out my phone and called Alex
On the other end of the line, Alex’s voice was as cool and calm as ever. “So, you’ve finally remembered who the right person to ask for help from ba?”
