Chapter 79

Seeing Hailey’s traction, that person dared not ask any further. The school bell rang, and everyone quickly returned to their

When the morning classes ended, Selena, smiling friendly but with eyes gleaming with blatant pride and arrogance, called out to Hailey. “Hailey, let’s have lunch together.”

Hailey replied, raising an eyebrow slightly, “Sure” Then the two of them walked side by side toward the cafeteria.

Selena smiled and said. “I bet you must be wondering how I became the author of “Thrilling Suspense.” Hailey was silent.

“The night before last, I went to the old house. I specifically entered your room and found the manuscript on your computer. I transferred everything to my USB drive and deleted all the documents from your computer,” said Selena, looking proud of herself as if she had achieved something remarkable.

“Hailey, you’re really amazing. Thrilling Suspense‘ is an amazing work, and it’s actually your work. Now that it has been stolen, how do you feel?” Selena whispered into her ear, her tone full of smugness and satisfaction. “It must be terrible, right? This is what happens when you go against me.”

Hailey raised her head slightly, her expression indifferent. “Are you done talking?” she asked.

Selena was momentarily stunned. “You didn’t record this, did you?” she asked. She seemed to have been traumatized by the past incident.

Hailey found it amusing and said. “Do I even need to?”

“You!”

“Do you really think it’s that simple?” Hailey asked, chuckling. “Do you honestly believe just by stealing my manuscript, and hiring a few internet trolls and media outlets to stir up some hype, you can become the true author of Thrilling Suspense?”

“Thrilling Suspense” had been completed, with no new content coming out. That was the reason Selena dared to pull such a stunt. Otherwise, she would not have dared to do this because she did not have the talent or capability.

Selena, thinking that Hailey was talking about her pen name and website, continued, “You may not know this yet. I’ve bribed the website where you published your work, and your pen name, ‘River, now belongs to me.”

Selena thought what she had done was impeccable, considering and covering every possible angle. Yet, Hailey still looked completely unfazed and just let out a faint “Oh.”

“What do you mean by that?” Selena frowned and asked. Something is wrong. Why is Hailey still so calm? Shouldn’t she be furious by now?” Selena thought.

“Nothing at all,” Hailey responded, raising an eyebrow slightly. “Why? Are you disappointed that I’m not mad?”
