Chapter 295 The Truth Unveiled

When Jason insisted on going to campus despite the rumors, Lacey took decisive action and called the police.

"Principal," she said, standing before his desk with quiet confidence, "you know the saying: 'A lie can travel halfway around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes.' An innocent person shouldn't bear the burden of false accusations. Someone is pulling strings behind the scenes-let's find that person."

Her measured tone wasn't confrontational, but her presence commanded attention. She carried herself with the assurance of someone holding irrefutable evidence of Jason's innocence.

The sudden arrival of the police surprised both the principal and Jason. Being the leader of a prestigious university, the principal maintained his composure, rising to shake hands with the officers. "Thank you for coming. If we can uncover the truth and clear Jason's name, that would be ideal."

Ten minutes later, the officers led them to a multimedia classroom where a lecture was in progress. The police walked directly to a male student and detained him. The young man had attempted to flee when he spotted the officers approaching, but they moved faster. His guilty demeanor suggested they had the right person.

After the principal spoke briefly with the instructor, the class was dismissed, leaving only the principal, Jason, Lacey, the police, and the detained student in the room.

The student kept his head down, apparently aware that the evidence against him was substantial.

Suddenly, hurried footsteps echoed from the hallway as Yara burst into the classroom. Her first glance was toward Jason, her expression filled with remorse she had clearly seen the damaging news.

Without hesitation, she rushed toward the detained student. The police tried to restrain her, but she quickly grabbed the young man's shirt, refusing to let go.

"Forrest Walsh!" she shouted. "If you hate me, take it out on me! How could you slander Mr. Foster? He's a good man who did nothing wrong. How could you do this?" Yara's emotions exploded as she pulled, scratched, and struck at him until the police separated them.

Under police questioning, Forrest finally revealed the truth. He had pursued Yara Tornarnicany Juct was rejecteur.

He hadn't anticipated how quickly it would spread or reach trending status. By the time he realized the severity of his actions, the damage was done. He had hoped the police wouldn't trace him, but they quickly identified his dorm room computer as the source of the post.
