Chapter 285

Noelle's expression remained icy. "Get it straight. You and Samuel planned to harm me, and you're the real culprit here. If anyone deserves to suffer, it's you, not me!"

"This has been your fault from the beginning, Noelle. Why didn't you help me in the first place?"

"Why should I? Now that Samuel is caught, all the videos and pictures will be deleted. They never leaked. If you're too stupid to see that, who else is to blame?"

Jessica was on the verge of breaking down as she realized she had misspoken. She shouldn't have tried to pin the blame on Noelle. If she hadn't, the latter wouldn't have exposed the truth.

Jessica started trembling in fright. "It wasn't me! It has nothing to do with me!"

"But many students overheard your conversation with Samuel last night, and it was clear you two planned this together.

"Come with us to clear this up. Otherwise, we're gonna have to send you to the police."

Jessica burst into tears as she curled up on her bed and refused to leave. Her defiance left the teachers speechless as they exchanged a glance, but they hesitated to use force.
