Chapter80 Humiliation

Taking her suitcase, Rita was walking to her dormitory.

It was the first time that she had ever come to the dormitory, so she kept looking up at the numbers to find “605”.

All of a sudden, someone came out and bumped into her.

Then she felt her right arms was scalded by something.

She looked down and found there was porridge all over her.

“Sorry! I go too fast. Do you ger hurt? Rita?”

Her voice sounded familiar, so Rita was stunned.

She knew who she bumped into even though she did not raise her head.

It was Nora.

What a coincidence that she would come across Nora in the dorm.

There was some glint in her eyes, but then she calmed down as usual, “Miss Nash, what a coincidence.”

She gave a polite smile and kept walking.

But then her arm was grasped by someone.

She turned around and looked at Nora, “Miss Nash, what’s the matter?”

“Rita, I’m sorry that I got your clothes stained. Let me wipe the porridge for you.”

Speaking, Nora was to wipe the stain with tissues.

Rita was astonished seeing her groveling. Liam was not here, why was she still putting on an act?

She stepped back and rejected when Nora stretched her arms to her, “Miss Nash, never mind. I’ll do it by myself later.”

“Well…” Nora stiffened.

“Nora, don’t do it, since she was reluctant.” Suddenly, a girl wearing hoodies approached.

She looked at Rita arrogantly and sniffed, “there is no need to be nice to someone who steals friend’s boyfriend like her.”

“Lilly Murphy, stop.” Nora pretended to be worrying and tugged at Lilly’s sleeve, “Lilly, it’s a misunderstanding.”

Lilly sneered, “What misunderstanding? She stole the boyfriend of your sister. All the socialites in F City have known that.”

They kept talking about this, and there were more and more students who came near them to see what happened.

Hearing what Lilly had said, some students who didn’t know Rita all looked at her in a strange way.

“How could she do that?”

“Well, you can never judge a person from her appearance. You can’t know what a good-looking girl would do behind your back.”

Gaining the upper hand, Nora was delighted inwardly.

But she soon hid her feelings and pretended to grab Lilly to come back to their dorm anxiously, “Lilly, stop it. It’s a misunderstanding.”

“Don’t be afraid, Nora. She’s the one who betrays your sister.”

Staying where she was, Lilly looked quite brave and upright.

Others nodded and thought she was right.

Nora lowered her head and continued to put on an act. But she was gloating secretly when others echoed her and Lilly.

Rita watched Nora acting impassively and jeered at her inwardly.

Well, what a bitch! She was an ace at inciting and manipulating others, Rita thought.

Nora was defeated twice by her. It seemed that Nora wanted to take revenge on her now.

Rita rolled her eyes and stepped forward, staring at Nora.

“Miss Nash, I think you should explain what had happened for me.”

“Rita, I don’t want to talk about it now, especially when my dead sister was involved. Moreover, I really don’t know what happened among you guys.”

Nora gave her vague explanation on purpose so that she could frame Rita implicitly and show her innocence.

What she said was implicating that Rita was the one who stole friend’s boyfriend as Lilly had pointed out.

Rita glanced at others and found that they all looked at her in a more contemptuous way as she expected.

“What’s wrong with her? She even wants Nora to explain for her.”

“Well, she is that shameless. No wonder she would steal other’s boyfriend.”

“Right.”

Others continued to speak with contempt.

But Rita looked like she did not hear what they had talked.

She took out her phone and searched for something in her Contacts, “If you’re not willing to explain for me, I have to call Liam so that he can ask you to explain.”

Nora’s face turned pale when she heard that Rita was going to call Liam.

She just wanted to pay Rita back for her being humiliated the other day.

But she did not expect Rita would call Liam.

If Liam knew what she had done, things would get worse for her and her family.

She managed to stop Rita, “No!”

Seeing that Nora was strained and unnerved, Rita shrugged, “Why?”

“I… I will explain this.” Nora was annoyed. She paused for a while and then said, “My mom was afraid that Liam would date Rita instead of my sister because of Rita’s family background, so she managed to frame Rita on purpose. Rita didn’t steal the boyfriend of my sister. It was a misunderstanding.”

Her explanation jolted others.

They could not expect that the truth would be like that.

But Lilly could not accept the situation, “Nora, what are you saying? You must have been intimidated when she mentioned Liam.”

Right, that was it, what Nora had said was not true.

Hearing this, other students all looked at Nora to see if there was any new twist.

“Liam had always been nice to the Nash family. If the Nash family haven’t framed Rita, then why does Liam suddenly turn against them and start to buy the Nash Group?”

When they were staring at Nora, someone spoke in a powerful way on the other side of the hallway.

Hearing this, they turned and looked at the comer.

“What’s wrong? Lilly, haven’t you read today’s newspaper yet?” Isabelle threw the newspaper to Lilly.

The news that the Wilson Group bought the Nash Group dumbfounded Lilly.

The Nash Group was bought?

So what Nora had said just now was all true?

She had misunderstood Rita?

Lilly felt that she was a joke. Being humiliated, Lilly flicked a glare at Nora and turned around to come back to her room.

Since the truth had been revealed, Nora felt embarrassed to stay there. Then she went away with her grey face.

She was to take revenge on Rita, but she did not expect that she would be humiliated instead.

Thinking of that Rita forced her to say what the Nash family had done, she felt she could not live with the shame. And she even wanted to hide her face.

Nora left there more quickly.

Now that the truth was revealed, others also left the hallway.

There were only Rita and Isabelle then. Isabelle glanced at Rita who was staying motionless and then held her arms, “Hey, they all go away. What are you thinking?”

Rita stopped thinking and looked at Isabelle with a frown, “What you said is true?”

“Of course.” Isabelle went blank for a while and then realized Rita was asking her about the Nash Group.

Isabelle even took out her phone and searched for the news for Rita.

Rita was astonished when she saw that the Wilson Group bought the Nash Group indeed.

He bought the Nash Group?

What happened?

Rita frowned with puzzle. She could not figure out why would Liam ruin the Nash family. After all, he had promised Joey to protect them.

“What’s the matter?” Seeing that Rita was stunned again, Isabelle was puzzled.

Rita smiled and said, “Nothing.” Then she looked at Isabelle and asked curiously, “You are coming for me, right? What’s wrong?”

“Is the money enough for the hospitalization costs of your mom? Do you need more?”

Looking at Rita, Isabelle smiled and gave her a bank card, “I came here to give the money back to you. Thank you very much.”

“Don’t say that. You also help me a lot.” Rita pushed back the card, “You can keep the money. And thank you for the flash drive. It helped me to prove my innocence.”

“What you said makes me feel more embarrassed.” Isabelle was consumed with guilt.

She did not take back the bank card and walked to the stairway.

She paused when she was about to go downstairs.

Then she looked at Rita with tears in her eyes, “Rita, thank you for helping me to sustain my conscience. If my mom come around, she will be happy to see her daughter living her life in a noble way.”

“Thanks.”

Isabelle apologized again and then walked away quickly.

Rita stared at Isabelle and her thoughts wandered.

She did not think she was that great. She had her intention when she borrowed the money to Isabelle.

There was only Rita in the corridor now.

Rita kept the card and walked into her room with suitcase.

She decided to move to school after other students moved in, so there left no room for her at first. But her tutor helped her to get a single room.

After she laid down her suit case, she went blank again with her eyes fixed in the news that the Nash Group was bought.

It was getting more and more difficult to figure out what Liam was thinking now, Rita thought. This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

What did he want to do?

Her phone rang abruptly, which startled her.

She almost threw her cellphone away, but then she grabbed it in time.

Looking at the unknown number, she answered it with hesitation, “Hello? Who is it?”

“It’s me, Jacob.”

His voice came through the phone, which bewildered Rita.

Jacob always disliked her.

Why did he call her now?
