144 Are you being groomed?

The discussion with the headmaster was not supposed to be disclosed to anyone. However, the word still spread like wildfire. All students found it astounding that the school retracted its decision to expel the students involved in the incident. Not to mention, Patricia and Nina were also involved in this entire fiasco.

Some students think it was Patricia because of her temper. Others had some wild guesses and thought it was Nina. After all, sometimes, the people who commit the worst crimes are the people one wouldn't expect. 1

But the most surprising of all was the news of the baby swapping!

It turns out Nina wasn't a Bennet, but Penny!

In no time, many students saw Penny as pitiful while Nina was the one who stole the life Penny should have. It became a hot topic that the teachers had to intervene. However, even that didn't stop the hushed gossip.

It was also because of this incident that the headmaster was making rounds. Teachers were monitoring everything as per the headmaster's orders. One could feel the pressure and strictness because the school urged more students to come forward who were victims of bullying.

It was wild.

The school year was already in its last few months, but the events were happening one after another.

"Then, why is everyone talking about it?!" He roared angrily. "Do you know what I had to go through today?! Everyone is asking me if you did it! Some even use this to mock me!" "It's not me!"

"Enough!" the man of the house bellowed, shutting up his children, who were being out of control, "I'll go to the school first thing in the morning!"

Patricia huffed and crossed her arms. "It's that Nina's fault! I shouldn't have trusted her! I thought she was a friend, but turns out she's a snake!"
