Chapter 66

Crispin noticed Lysander's seriousexpression and quietly put hi shirt back on. Only then did Lysander let go of Elara. He looked at Elara. "Are you done eating?"

"Yeah. Elara had finished two boxes of drinks and a whole pile of barbecue, and she didn't feel like eating anymore.

"Then let's head out," Lysander took her out of the barbecue join. As soon as they got into the car, Elara received a call from the police, asking her to come down to the station.

Since she was the one who had reported the incident involving Lizzie, Elara didn't bother the hassle and went there herself. Lysander accompanied her.

Lizzie's parents were already there. When they saw Elara, they were polite and respectful. They didn't seem like bad people at all. Their stance was clear. They were willing to apologize and hoped for a settlement.

Lizzie had just taken her SATS, and her life was only beginning. The false rumors Lizzie spread online had caused quite a stir. and went viral. If Elara refused to settle, Lizzie would not only have to pay a fine but also face jail time. Looking at Lizzie's parents' pitiful expressions, Elara felt a bit of sympathy for them. However, she made it clear that there would be no reconciliation.

Not only would she refuse to settle, but she also intended to hire a lawyer to press charges against Lizzie, aiming for the harshest possible sentence.

This wasn't the first time Lizzie had spread rumors about Elara. Although Daphne had manipulated Lizzie, the harmful actions were entirely Lizzie's doing. There was no doubt about that

After dealing with everything, Elara and Lysander headed back home. On the way, Elara, feeling a bit tired, looked at Lysander and said. "Lysander, thank you?

"For what?" Lysander asked.

"For bringing people to help me handle this," Elara replied. She was surprised when Lysander showed up at school.

Lysander listened to her words and glanced at her, but didn't say anything.

Elara continued. "She lost a bet to me before and should have been expelled, but Daphne pleaded for her. I didn't expect her to keep acting so disgusting. It's like she just won't quit until the very end. It's a shame, really." "What's a shame?" Lysander asked.

"It's a shame I couldn't drag Daphne into this mess too," Elara said.

Although today's scene at school was quite a spectacle, with both Asher and Daphne embarrassing, for Elara, it still wasn't enough.
