She Became Rich After Divorce by Georgina Lane

Chapter 553: Danielle Kills Someone

Ever since he found out that he inadvertently leaked information that resulted in Cheyenne being targeted, Jerry had been consumed by guilt. Cheyenne was the first person to give him a gift since he arrived in Akloit.

To punish himself, Jerry stopped taking the last of her four pills for him. While most of the acne on his face had cleared up, the signs of a recurrence started to show due to not completing a full treatment and staying up late consecutively.

Everyone mocked his "handsomeness" as being short-lived. Last time, he must have been through cosmetic surgery. Recently, becoming ugly was the aftermath of plastic surgery.

It wasn't until Cheyenne returned after her disappearance that Jerry's deep-seated guilt and self-blame, which had entwined around him like vines, slightly eased.

The school bell rang, signaling the end of the long theoretical class that had started at 10:20 and ended at 12:00.

Jerry declined his roommate's invitation to have a meal together and walked among the crowd, carrying his backpack on his shoulders.

Several female classmates who brushed past him were discussing the latest gossip.

"Have you all been keeping up with the news lately? 'Lady Elizabeth' has started filming, and my favorite celebrity is the female lead. I heard that Kate will also be participating." "Kate? Is she the school senior on the forum, the one who can compete with school belle Nora?"

"Yes, that's her! According to insiders, Juliana snatched away her leading role in 'The Fragrance of Orchids,' but in a twist of fate, she got a major role in this big IP drama."

"How is that a twist of fate? She went from being the female lead to the third female role. But I really like the male lead, Jerome. Even though he doesn't have much acting talent, looking good is enough." Another classmate, uninterested in these celebrity gossip, was a top student in the finance department and focused more on Akloit's business news.

"Speaking of Nora, do you know? Her fiancé, Teagan, is about to go bankrupt!"

"Really? How is that possible? The Parry family hosted a banquet for her not long ago, and people who attended said it was grand."

"It's true. My dad even sold all of his Parry Group shares this morning. And the Lawrence family isn't someone reputable either. As relatives by marriage, George Lawrence sold all his Parry Group stocks." "Oh my, he's such a fence-sitter!"

"So, there's nothing reliable in this world. Only self-interest is the strongest bond. This time, Nora is going to have a hard time in the Parry family. The school belle has become a laughingstock, haha!"

The voices of the three were not small, and they even burst into laughter, clearly displaying their glee at someone else's misfortune.
