Chapter 102 It’s They Who Were Badmouthing You
After dealing with the matters of the United Department in the Weststadt District, Hellen had been relaxing for a few days.
Everet’s leg injury was much better now. He could no longer walk in a wheelchair and was able to walk a few steps with a crutch, but she still couldn’t walk for too long. A wheelchair was still essential.
Hellen began to goof off as well. Her recent morning sickness had lessened quite a bit, but she was starting to get sleepy again.
Every morning, Hellen no longer went to the Jovano Group and slept at home.
In the bedroom, Hellen turned over and buried her face in the pillow.
The phone on the bedside table rang a few times. She frowned and reached out to pick it up.
“Hello?”
“Hello, this is the principal’s office of Tempe University.”
Tempe University?
Hellen rubbed her eyes and asked in a normal voice, “What’s the matter?”
“Excuse me, are you Karlen’s cousin? Karlen is fighting at school. Could you please deal with it?”
Hellen raised her voice. “Fight? With who?!”
The man on the other end of the line said solemnly, “With the eldest daughter of the Grant family, Taylor Grant.”
Hellen immediately sat up straight. “I’ll be right there. Please help me look after Karlen.”
After changing her clothes, Hellen washed her face, tied her hair into a ponytail, and left immediately.
When she reached the door, she happened to encounter Tiffany who was delivering documents. Hellen called out to her, “Tiffany, send me to Tempe University!”
Hellen was worried about Karlen and she didn’t have the time to get her car. So she tookTiffany’s Volkswagen to Tempe University.
The car was stopped by the school guards. Hellen got out of the car, walked into Tempe University, and arrived at the principal’s office.
Before she entered, she heard Karlen’s angry voice from inside. “I said it wasn’t my fault. I was preparing the fireworks for the school celebration. Then I heard someone saying bad things about my cousin. It was those people who started the rumor!”
A middle-aged man’s voice sounded stern. “You beat someone just because she said something bad about your cousin? Do you know that you are a student?”
Hellen narrowed her eyes and gently knocked on the door of the principal’s office.
The office door opened and Hellen looked inside.
She was also a graduate of Tempe University, and she knew the person in front of her. He was the office director of Tempe University and was famous for his snobbishness.
On the opposite side of the director, Karlen gritted her teeth and her beautiful face was full of indignation and anger. Seeing her coming, she immediately turned into a state of grievance. “Sis-”
Hellen assented and entered the room.
On the bench beside the house, seven or eight girls were sitting with bruised noses and swollen faces.
Hellen looked at Karlen by her side. Karlen didn’t have any wounds at all.
Her cousin was well-developed. She was more than 1. 7 meters taller than her. In addition, she had a neat, short haircut, but she leaned against her like a timid and lovable little bird.
“Sis, it’s because their mouths are too dirty that I can’t help doing it.”
Hellen patted Karlen on the shoulder. Knowing that Karlen was not injured, she felt relieved.
But the director did not intend to let Karlen off. “Are you still upset?”
Hellen calmly stood in front of Karlen. “Hello, director, I am Karlen’s cousin. If there’s anything, you can tell me.”
The director looked Hellen up and down. “Why do you look so familiar?”
Hellen nodded. “I graduated from here as well.” Only, in the past, she had kept a low profile, and no one knew that she was a member of the Jovano family.
The director looked at Hellen dressed in casual clothes with some disdain. “Normally, Her parents should be here. I think you’re only a few years older than Karlen.”
“Karlen’s parents aren’t in Tempe City. I can represent them,” Hellen said.
As she spoke, she stared at Taylor, who was sitting alone on the bench. It was not the first time she had met Taylor.
Taylor looked away and did not make eye contact with her.
Hellen calmly looked up and down to confirm that Taylor was not seriously injured.
The director stammered, “It’s fine that your sister hit someone, but she even instigated Taylor Grant to fight with her. She must be held responsible for this!”
Hellen frowned, then turned to look at Karlen. “What, do you fight together?”
“Taylor and I are good friends. She’s very angry when she heard others speak ill of you. So we fight together.” Karlen whispered by Hellen’s ear.
Hellen rubbed her forehead, feeling rather resigned.
At that time, she only asked who Karlen was fighting. It was estimated that the director heard it as who she was fighting with.
Hellen looked at Taylor. Above all, this little girl was standing up for her. She had to take care of this.
Hellen raised her voice, “Taylor, come here.”Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
Taylor hesitated for a few seconds. She stood up silently and moved behind Hellen with small steps.
The director was stunned, then he frowned as he looked at Hellen.
“The parents of these injured girls will be here in a while. I will try my best to persuade them to settle it privately. But two of them are the daughters of influential families in Tempe City. You should be mentally prepared first!”
Hellen’s eyes narrowed coldly.
The director was bothersome just like before. The old principal was fair, but now he was not in the university.
They needed to wait for the parents of the “victims” on the opposite side to arrive. The director entered the inner room and asked Hellen to wait outside with Karlen and Taylor Grant.
In the outer room of the office, Karlen is on Hellen’s left while Taylor is on her right. Tiffany is standing beside a bench.
On the bench opposite the four were the six injured girls, all of whom had bruises on their bodies and were glaring fiercely at Karlen.
“When my father comes, he will not let you off!” One of the six girls, who was sitting in the middle, said angrily.
Hellen glanced at the other five girls, who seemed to be headed by that girl.
As for the girl’s clothes, although she was still a student, her luxury clothes were too eye-catching.
Karlen gritted her teeth and said, “A straight foot is not afraid of a crooked shoe! You were the ones who scolded me first, and you were the one who pointed your fingers at my nose first!”
Hellen called out to Karlen in a low voice, “Stop arguing.”
The nearby Taylor silently looked towards Hellen with bright eyes.
While waiting for the parents, Karlen quietly told Hellen the reason for today’s fight.
Hellen finally understood.
Not long after Karlen entered the university, she became friends with Taylor. They got along well due to similar temperaments.
During this celebration, Taylor and Karlen had come to assist backstage. Then, they heard a girl speaking ill of Hellen.
“Grace’s words are harsh…” Karlen whispered.
Hellen was a little surprised. She had offended many people in the mall, but what bad words could this group of students say about her?
Taylor added from the side, “Don’t you have a live Account called ‘Industrious Hellen’? Luz Walker is your assistant and he’s the campus belle of Tempe University. That Grace Horton has always had a crush on him-”
Karlen nodded. “Some girls said that you kept Luz as your mistress, but Grace denied it. She said that you seduced him.”
Grace’s words were very unpleasant to hear. Karlen didn’t want to continue speaking with Hellen, so she just sat there with a puffed-up face and glared at Grace, who was opposite her.
Hellen narrowed her eyes. So it was rumored that Luz had been kept by him all the time?
Luz Walker was mature and steady. He had always seen her as an older sister. Hellen had also seen Luz Walker as his younger brother. She didn’t expect that even after receiving so many rumors, he had never spoken to her about it!
