Chapter 23 An Envious Woman
Elvis nodded viciously. “I understand.”
Cherise furrowed her brows fiercely when she heard what the doctor said.
Has Grandma been upset by anything lately?
When Mary learned Cherise was marrying a disabled person, she fell seriously ill.
Not long had passed, so what had agitated her again?
She cast a doubtful gaze at Elvis.
Elvis looked away hurriedly. He pushed Mary back to the hospital room with the nurse.
Mary remained unconscious. After Cherise confirmed that Mary was alright, she led Damien to visit Mary before leaving.
Damien returned home while Cherise went to school.
At school, she felt uneasy. She felt the students around her were looking at her strangely.
In the evening, Lucy went to Cherise after classes ended, panting with rage. “Cherry, I’m telling you. An envious woman is really terrifying.”
At that moment, Cherise was looking at a post on the campus confession page.
The username of the person who had posted the confession was Cressida Moon.
Cressida Moon wrote a mysterious post saying she noticed a wealthy person was providing for a country girl who seemed very poor. Cressida Moon also listed proof that the girl was being provided for.
For example, being sent to and picked up from school in a luxury car.
Another example was that in the past, the girl used to hang out in the library when she didn’t have classes, but she was now nowhere to be seen.
Yet another example was that the girl had poor relatives asking for money at the school’s
entrance.
And so on and so forth.
As Cherise read the post and comments of other students‘ guesses below the post, she asked, “What’s up?”
Upon seeing Cherise look at her cell phone earnestly, Lucy leaned over, and her jaw dropped.
She instantly turned off Cherise’s cell phone screen. “You’re looking at the post?” This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .
Cherise was confused. “What’s wrong?”
“Cressida Moon is Cressa Lyes!”
When her classes ended yesterday evening, Cherise recalled that Cressa saw her enter Damien’s
car.
Upon seeing Cherise’s blank face, Lucy poked her head in exasperation. “She’s talking about you, but you’re reading the post calmly!”
Cherise wrinkled her brows slightly. “I don’t think it’s me, right?”
“Although I’m sent to and picked up from school in a luxury car and haven’t been to the library lately, none of my relatives have come to trouble me!”
“Moreover, many students are being sent to and picked up from school in luxury cars. Many have suddenly stopped hanging around in the library as well. How can others think it’s me?”
Lucy rolled her eyes. She took out her cell phone and showed Cherise photos of the school entrance. “Isn’t this your aunt?”
Cherise stared at it. The woman in the picture on Lucy’s cell phone was Eriana, who had failed to make trouble at the hospital in the morning!
“Why is she here?!”
As the best university in Mondale, poor relatives of students would often ask for money at the
entrance.
But Cherise never thought that Eriana, her aunt who wasn’t biologically related to her, would one day come to her school to look for her.
“Let’s leave through the back door.”
Lucy sighed upon seeing Cherise’s astonished expression. “I guessed you would be defenseless, so I deliberately came back to look for you.”
“Cressa has posted the photo in the forums. If you leave from the main entrance and your aunt catches you, the whole school will discover you’re the needy girl being provided for!”
A chill crept over Cherise’s heart.
Gossip was frightening.
Although she never felt like marrying Damien was embarrassing, she was used to her peace and being ordinary. She didn’t want to be the topic of other people’s idle conversation.
Cherise took a deep breath, and her grip on her cell phone tightened. “Let’s go through the back
