Danielle was in a stock trading simulation class that day, but she had little interest in the complex stock market charts. She decided to discreetly browse the school's online forum, where she unexpectedly stumbled upon a popular post.
The protagonist of the post turned out to be someone she knew quite well-Cheyenne. However, Danielle was disappointed to find that the post was filled with praises for Cheyenne. This wasn't something she was happy to see.
Danielle took screenshots of the compliments about Cheyenne, especially those comparing Cheyenne favorably to the school belle, Nora. She forwarded the screenshots to Nora.
"What's this?"
"Your sister is here, in the principal's office. The guys at school are all worked up, like they've seen a woman for the first time. They're even saying that you don't deserve the title of 'school belle.' They're talking so rudely about you."
As Danielle spoke, she watched Nora's facial expressions. As expected, when the topic of her "school belle" came up, Nora's face didn't look quite natural.
Seizing the opportunity, Danielle continued to provoke her in a whisper, "Look at Cheyenne. How can she compare to you? A divorced woman suddenly appearing at school and trying to steal the limelight."
On the side, a female student chimed in with disdain, nodding her head, "Those guys must be blind. Nora is the epitome of pure beauty, not like that shameless seductress who lures men all around."
Nora was slightly affected by their praises, and her dark, lustrous eyes sparkled as she gave a faint, shy smile. "But my sister is prettier, and it's normal for many guys to like her. Unlike me... sigh."
Her self-deprecating comment earned her disapproving glares from the other two girls, who seemed determined to bolster her confidence. "Who says that? You have plenty of guys who like you too!"
As they discussed this, Nora blushed. She bit her lip and lowered her head shyly, responding softly, "Please, stop it. The teacher is watching us."
"Right."
Danielle decided to change the subject slightly, keeping an eye on the post about Cheyenne. She came across a video clip and a thought occurred to her.
She cut out a specific segment from the video and sent it to Nora, along with an encouraging message: "Victory or defeat is in your hands, Nora. You have the power to choose now. Go for it!"
Nora simply replied with a brief "Yes," and the conversation ended there.
Meanwhile, Peyton was eventually taken away by the police. Cheyenne and Graeme engaged in a heated argument, with Cheyenne vowing to hire the best lawyer for her defense. Graeme, on the other hand, clung to the point of Kate not being deflowered, believing that a good lawyer could win the case.
People couldn't help but feel disappointed by Graeme's unwavering support for his cousin, even when she was facing serious consequences. Why was he going to such lengths to help his cousin? Was it because of their family ties and their long history together, allowing personal emotions to override the principles of justice?
"Mr. Mathews, go ahead and find a lawyer, we're not afraid," Cheyenne said with a sly smile, her exquisite face shimmering with a gentle glow under the sunlight, leaving people's hearts in turmoil.
