After Death, Love Unveiled

Chapter 65

Crispin said, "Elara, you have no idea. Someone took your photo earlier and sent it around our school, saying you're being kept by an old man." Elara replied, "I already know,"

Daphne had mentioned it today. Elara hadn't expected that even during SATS, they would be so bored. "Do you still have the photos?"

"Yeah, I do. Let me show you." Crispin pulled out his phone, quickly finding the photos and handing them over to Elara

Looking at the picture of herself and her father on the phone, ara chuckled helplessly.

"These people must be out of their minds. If I were really being kept, would I have him come with me to the SATS? It's all my dad's fault for being too handsome," she said.

That was why they jumped to conclusions.

Crispin glanced at Elara. "That's your dad?"

"Who else would it be?" Elara shot him a look. "Do you think I'm being kept, too!"

Recalling how he had sent the picture to Lysander earlier, Crispin guiltily glanced over at Lysander. Lysander hadn't told Crispin this was Elara's father. No wonder Lysander immediately asked him to investigate when he saw the picture. Seizing the moment to prove himself, Crispin hurriedly added. Elara, we've already figured out who took the photo. She's the one who posted it online."

"Really?" Elara asked.

As Crispin spoke, he stepped away, and soon, the person was brought in.

The Lizzie that Elara had been searching for all night was dragged over by two tall men. Her hair and clothes were soaked as if she had just been pulled out of the water.

The moment Lizzie saw Elara, she tried to walk toward her. "Elara..."

"Stop right there. Crispin's cold voice cut her off, preventing her from getting any closer. Seeing this, Lizzie dropped to her knees on the grass and begged. "Elara, I know I was wrong. Please forgive me. I'll never do it again" Terrified from being dragged over by those men, Lizzie was utterly shaken. Elara, noticing her fear, glanced at Crispin. "What did you guys do to her? She looks scared to death."

Crispin snorted. "She refused to admit anything at first. Then I told her we'd throw her into the river to feed the fish, and she confessed everything"

He walked over to Elara and continued, "Elara, this girl is pure evil. She's been using multiple fake accounts online to insult you. A few of the posts in that thread about you were made by her.

"She's also the one who sent the photos to our school, trying to drive a wedge between you and Lysander. Luckily, I didn't fall for it

Lysander glanced at Crispin. "Is that so?"

Crispin froze, suddenly unsure of what to say, his confidence faltering. Quickly shifting focus, Crispin turned to Elara and asked, "Elara, how do you plan to deal with her?" 10:54 Thu, Nov 7
