Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Chapter 893: Aveline's Background

When Orion started checking the surveillance footage, Solene became worried. What if someone caught her on camera slipping thumbtacks into Aveline's shoes?

She hadn't slept well the entire night. In desperation, Solene came up with a plan-to use her father's connections to get Aveline expelled from school. That way, Orion would stop investigating. Watching his daughter struggle so much, unable to surpass Aveline no matter how hard she worked, Lee felt both heartache and resentment toward Aveline.

So, when Solene proposed her idea, Lee agreed. If Aveline were gone, his daughter would finally claim the top spot in the grade. Solene wouldn't need to push herself so hard, staying up until two or three in the morning every day just to study.

Hearing the announcement over the PA system, Solene, who had never done anything wrong her entire life, began trembling uncontrollably.

"I... I'm fine. I'm just a little tired," she stammered.

"You don't look well," a classmate said. "Maybe you should go rest."

"Yes..." Solene replied nervously, her mind in chaos as the entire school whispered about who might have planted the thumbtacks.

At that moment, her phone rang. Seeing it was her father calling, she quickly stepped aside to answer.

"Dad, what's wrong?"

"Solene, there's a problem. Aveline's parents aren't janitors or dishwashers like we thought. Even the principal treats them with the utmost respect. Now they've found out about Aveline's injury, and they're furious. You should find a place to hide."

"Dad! Didn't you hear what they said? If I don't go within ten minutes, our whole family could be implicated!"

Solene was panicking now, twisting her fingers nervously, overcome with regret. Why had she done this?

"There are no cameras in the locker room. They won't find any evidence. No one will know it was you. Going out there now will only make things worse," Lee said firmly. The Barnet family wasn't someone they could afford to provoke. Staying away was the safest option.
