Chapter 83 What She Did Not Say
Marie wanted to retort but was stopped by the headmaster.
He frowned, glanced around the crowd and finally fixed his eyes on Victoria.
"Victoria, tell me about what's going on."
Victoria told him everything in detail.
With so many people present, she said it objectively and fairly. She didn't exaggerate or lie.
Shew frowned after he heard all of those.
"So, Jessica, is it correct that, you think, Natalia stole the original draft of your design five years ago
and tonight she wanted to shake her crime and then frame you again, so you sent Marie here to steal
the draft back. Am I right?"
Jessica was stunned.
After a while, she took a deep breath.
She knew that it was useless to argue at this time.
She could only say, "I admit that I did unintentionally mention it to her before. My sister took away my
original draft and might use it to frame me, but I didn't ask her to steal it back for me."
"I didn't expect her to do that tonight. If I had known it earlier, I wouldn't have agreed."
The headmaster raised his hand and interrupted her.
He turned to look at Natalia and asked, "What about you? What's your explanation?"
Natalia sneered.
"You said I've stolen your original draft... Jessica, tell me, when did I steal it?"
Jessica frowned.
"How do I know?"
"You don't even know it yourself. Why do you tell others so casually to frame me?"
Jessica was stunned.
After a while, she took another deep breath and suddenly showed a smile.
"Okay, let's just take it as my fault and I wronged you this time. I apologize to you here. But it was you
who did it five years ago, wasn't it! I was just worried that you would frame me by all means as before
because of what happened in the past. I was a little sensitive. Is it also my fault to be too sensitive?"
Jessica said with a smug smile.
Even if Natalia forced Marie to say that she had stepped into the relationship between Natalia and
Shawn, so what?
In the world of love, the one who was not loved was the one who stepped in!
After all, now she understood.
Obviously, what Natalia had said to her in the banquet hall was just to deceive her.
Huh! She had already destroyed that original draft. There was no original draft in the world!
As long as she held on to what happened five years ago, no matter how capable Natalia was, it would
be impossible for her to turn the tables.
As expected, the people's gossip around them changed again.
"It's reasonable. If I was set up like this before, I would also be worried. It's normal for Jessica to
suspect Natalia."
"Is this called post-traumatic stress disorder?"
"What's wrong with this family? It's getting more and more chaotic."
Hearing this, even the headmaster frowned.
He also knew what happened that year, but after so many years, nobody should remember this
already!
However, he didn't say anything. He just glanced at Natalia.
With a smile at the corners of her mouth, Natalia said slowly word by word, "I remember that I have
never said that it was me five years ago."
There was a moment of silence.
It seemed that the onlookers needed time to get the meaning of her words.
Jessica's face darkened.
Natalia repeated in a low voice, "I've never said that I stole Jessica's work and knocked her out in order
to take her place to get admission to the Royal College of Art, right?"
The crowd burst into an uproar.
What did she mean?
Five years had passed, and everyone knew that she had done it.
But now...
Everyone was stunned and then realized that what she said seemed to be true.
Five years ago, the news spread like wildfire. Everyone in the two schools knew that Natalia had stolen
Jessica's work and knocked her out in order to get admission to the Royal College of Art.
However, the protagonist of the matter had never appeared to speak.
Since Natalia was taken away at the examination center, she had never shown up in public, let alone to
admit or explain anything.
In the past, everyone thought that she didn't dare to speak out of shame.
But when they thought about it now, they also felt something was wrong.
No matter how ashamed Natalia was, she couldn't hide forever.
There should have been news about her later!
But it was strange that since that day, there was no information about Natalia, as if Natalia had
disappeared from the world.
What... What happened exactly!
Looking at the surprised and curious eyes of the people around her, Natalia slowly said word by word,
"Five years ago, I didn't have the chance to tell the truth. Five years later, today, I won't allow myself to
be wronged and insulted again. I swore to my dead mother that I would take back everything that had
been taken away from me, and those who had slandered me should take back all the slanders on me.
If they don't, I will force them to kneel in public, and explain the truth to everyone!"
She glanced at the people in front of her coldly and harshly. Her voice was sonorous and powerful.
Everyone was shocked by her imposing manner. It seemed that she had made up her mind to figure
out the truth.
Some of them even looked at her with admiration.
Oh my God! It was so imposing!
The more they listened, the more they felt that what she said might be true.
After all, without really being slandered so much, she couldn't have such cold and resolute eyes, nor
could she say such imposing and powerful words!
Some of the onlookers had quietly begun to believe Natalia.
Jessica said angrily, "What do you mean?"
Natalia sneered.
"I mean, it wasn't me who stole the work, but you! It was also you who framed me, not the other way
around! You're just a vicious woman who envied your sister's talent and used the self-injury trick to set
me up! You didn't want me to get anything that you were never able to get!"
Everyone was shocked.
"What? Do you mean that it was Jessica who set you up?"
Someone couldn't help asking.
Natalia nodded.
"The day before the exam, she accidentally found that my work was better than hers, so the next
morning, she deliberately broke her head and stole the original draft in my computer. Then she called
the school and falsely accused me of stealing. In this way, everyone would think that I stole her work,
and she, a poor girl who has been injured by her own sister and missed the precious chance to get
admitted to the Royal College of Arts would easily get sympathy from everyone. Am I right?"
Jessica's face turned pale.
She shook her head repeatedly, but Shawn beside her just frowned.
"Natalia, Jessica is not that kind of person..."
"Shut up!"
Natalia shouted coldly, "She's not that kind of person, so I am, huh? She wouldn't hurt her sister and
frame her sister, so I could hurt my sister and steal her work, huh? Shawn Miller! Open your eyes wide
and see clearly. It was not me who sneaked into my room today and wanted to steal the draft in the
laptop. It was Marie! As for the relationship between Marie and Jessica, you know much more about
that than me!"
