The Billionaire's True Heiress: From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 390

“If Claire had been more sensitive, she might not have survived all the rumors and online hate. If something tragic happened, who would take responsibility for that?”

“I hope you all remember this and watch what you say from now on,” the teacher said, her voice gentle but firm.

The whole class finally seemed to get it.

Just because Claire was okay now and Molly was being punished, that didn’t mean they should feel sorry for Molly.

Molly’s scheme hadn’t worked because Claire was strong.

But what if Molly picked on someone else? Someone who couldn’t handle it?

It was scary to think that it could easily have ended with a tragedy instead of just a scandal.

Would Molly pay for that? Probably not. The most she’d get would be a year or two for spreading rumors. That hardly seemed fair.

You just can’t feel sorry for someone just because they look pitiful after getting caught.

Most of the class understood, and almost everyone apologized to Claire.

Cindy, Molly’s former seatmate, felt her face grow pale.

If everyone knew what Molly had done, what about her?

Did they know she’d trashed Claire online too?

What would people say if they found out?

No one confronted Cindy outright since she was the heiress of The James Family, but she felt deeply uncomfortable every time someone glanced her way.

It was like everyone was judging her, laughing at her behind their hands.

At the end of class, nobody approached her, and she missed Molly’s friendly chatter even more.

It wasn’t exactly that everyone froze her out on purpose. They were just a little scared of her now.
