Betrayal At The Altar
Chapter 428
It had not been easy for him to build a connection with the Cruise family in Seaxas using the orphanage’s land. Why
would he offend them without anything in return?
“Since you’ve chosen to protect the Cruise family, we can only sacrifice Miss Grey,” Linda said. She then hung up
without giving the other party a chance to speak.
As she turned around, she suddenly realized that Rachel was standing behind her…
Her pupils dilated and her heart (skip ped a beat. “When did you-”
“What did he tell you?” Rachel asked.
Although she did not specify who “he” referred to, Linda knew who it was in her heart.
“The Grey family promised that as long as I withdraw the lawsuit and not pursue Lily for responsibility, he would

Rachel frowned imperceptibly when she heard this. A cold glint flashed in the depths of her almond-shaped eyes.
“And you agreed?”
“No.” Linda smiled faintly. “I’m the right arm of the Johnson Corporation’s Ms. Grey after all. How can such little
compensation catch my eye?”
Rachel revealed a smile when she heard this.
Linda continued, “It’s just a pity to watch Lily and Olivia fight.”
“It’s not a pity.” Rachel slowly walked toward the French window with one hand in her pocket. “With Lily’s
personality, she won’t suffer this indignance for nothing. But before that, we need to help them start things off.”
An hour later, a topic suddenly trended on Twitter.
A middle-aged couple’s silent protest against Pollister High School, which had been going on for five years, was
causing a heated discussion online.
Soon, this post attracted the attention of the general public.
Someone in the know stepped forward and revealed the cause of the matter.
Five years ago, a third-year student from Pollister High School committed suicide. by jumping off a building.
However, because it was a suicide, all the teachers and students in the school thought that the student was under
too much pressure from studying and had a men tal illness. They assumed that that was why the student chose to
jump off a building.
However, the student’s parents insisted that their child was not the kind to cr*ck.
under pressure. They had also found a suicide note left behind by their daughter when they were packing up her
belongings.
After some investigation, the police found that the student had been subjected to campus bullying for a year.
The girl had asked the teacher for help, but the teacher thought that it was just a small fight between her
classmates that was not worth mentioning.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIt was because of this indifference that the girl suffered inhuman treatment and finally chose to commit suicide by
jumping off a building.
However, the school still did not take things seriously even after knowing the truth. Instead, they found a
problematic student to take the blame and expelled him.
The group of real “murderers” were still at large all these years, while the life of a seventeen-year-old was so
abruptly cut short.
Olivia’s expression changed when she saw the post.
At this moment, Lisa called. A flustered voice entered Olivia’s ears through the phone. “Olivia, look at Twitter!”
“I saw it.” Olivia had a gloomy expression, and her eyes flickered with a sinister cold light.
“What’s going on? Wasn’t this matter left unsettled back then? Why is it suddenly being dug up again?” Lisa was
panicking on the other end of the phone.
Back then, this matter was suppressed by the school and had no further development. The school had decided to
pull out a problematic student, Jessica, as a scapegoat to give that family an explanation. Then, to avoid another
storm, Olivia’s family finalized the procedures for her to go overseas.
Lisa thought that this matter would be over just like that. She did not expect it to be dug up again.
