She Ruined My Family, I Stop Her Now

Chapter 5

After Nora left, my mom and I went to the hospital to take care of Emily.

Fortunately, we had gotten her there in time. Nothing serious happened.

The doctor told her to rest well and keep her mood stable.

Since I wanted to prepare for my dorm transfer in advance, I returned to school on the morning of the last day of the holiday.

On the way, I felt like an internet celebrity.

A lot of people on campus kept looking at me strangely, and I didn't even know them.

I was confused.

Then I suddenly saw a girl from the dorm next door sneaking glances at me.

I grabbed her and asked what was going on.

"You don't check the confession page? You're famous, Lindy."

Her words hit me like a bomb.

I immediately opened the page and saw that my photo had been posted.

The post said I was cruel and had tricked my roommate into coming home with me.

It claimed my whole family helped get her drunk and forced her to sleep with an older divorced man.

The so-called evidence was listed one by one.

The train ticket confirmation text I had bought for Nora was posted too.

The 30,000-dollar compensation was described by Nora as hush money.

In the post, Nora said she had been too scared and had no choice but to take the hush money.

The next day, after getting back to school, she finally couldn't stand it anymore, so she organized everything that had happened and posted it on the confession page.

She even attached my family photo from my w******p profile picture and circled me on it.

She warned every girl who knew me to be careful and not end up like her.

After several days of brewing, the matter had blown up.

The more I read, the darker my expression became.

In my last life, I had been completely unprepared. That was why Nora managed to frame me.

This time, she had already tasted the consequences, so I didn't keep pushing.

I didn't want to ruin her completely. But clearly, in her eyes, my mercy had become weakness.

She probably didn't know I had security footage.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have the nerve to twist the truth like this!

Before I could confront Nora, Ms. Carter tagged me in the class group chat and told me not to return to school until the investigation was complete.

That was basically a disguised suspension.

Even more ridiculous, right after that came a notice giving me a major disciplinary warning.

As soon as the message was sent, the group chat exploded.

Many people tagged Ms. Carter and Nora, asking if the incident was true.

Nora took the chance to send a wronged-looking sticker in the group and tagged me.

Nora: [Lindy, even if you hate me, I don't want other girls in our class to go through the same thing.]

I ignored her and went straight to Ms. Carter's office.

"Why is the department forcing me to take leave? Just because of Nora's side of the story?"

Ms. Carter looked surprised to see me.

Probably because she had already made up her mind, there was disgust in the way she looked at me.

"Lindy, this is the department's decision."

"But the truth is..."

When I tried to explain, she raised her hand to stop me and softened her voice.

"The department will investigate. What you need to do now is go home and wait for updates. I'm very busy. If you have any evidence that can prove your innocence, send it to me on WhatsApp."

I still wanted to say more, but my phone suddenly rang.

It was my mom.

I answered quickly.

My mom asked anxiously if I was okay and told me not to do anything stupid. She told me to find a hotel near the school and stay there for a few days first.

I hadn't expected the school matter to reach my mom so quickly.

Strangely, she didn't tell me to come home.

"Mom, did something happen at home?"

A bad feeling rose inside me.

"Mom, don't lie to me."

Under my questioning, my mom finally broke down crying.

"It's your dad. He heard what happened to you and wanted to go to your school to find Nora. He got so worked up that he fainted."

And that wasn't all.

My brother and Greg had both lost their jobs, too.

Fortunately, everyone knew how serious the situation was and kept it from Emily. Otherwise, things would have been even worse.

When I heard that, my mind exploded.

I immediately tried to buy a ticket home.

My mom stopped me in time.

"Lindy, if you come back now, what will everyone in your school think? We didn't do anything wrong. We can't admit to something we didn't do!"

My mom repeatedly promised that my dad had only fainted because of low blood sugar.

Only then did I give up.

Looking at the 99-plus unread messages in the class group chat, I watched Nora play the victim and slander me.

For the first time, I felt true hatred toward someone.

After being reborn, all I wanted was to avoid her.

Even when Nora secretly followed me home and tried to set us up, I only gave her a taste of her own medicine. I had thought that would be enough.

My little nephew hadn't even been born yet.

I wanted to leave him some good karma.

But now, everything that had happened was forcing me to face Nora head-on.
