Students from ss 19 saw Betty crouching in front of Howard’s car and removing its screws. After taking off the screws, she threw them and the tool aside to get rid of all the evidence.


    With the evidence gone, all the false usations were once again pinned on Zinnia. In the Shaw family, Zinnia stoodpletely isted. No one believed her, and no one came to her aid.


    The truth was finally out. Students watched in stunned outrage, while Zinnia felt an amazing sense of relief <b>as </b>the truth unfolded before her eyes<b>. </b>


    “I can already picture those forum trolls getting their faces pped by the truth,” someone remarked.


    “Betty just posted on the forum,” one of their ssmates who had been paying attention to Facebook immediately announced.


    “What did she say?” Maisie asked.


    A girl said, “Betty said she believed Zinnia didn’t mean it. Please don’t judge Zinnia too harshly. Since she was the one mistakenly raised in the Shaw family, it’s only natural for Zinnia to resent her. After all, she probably owes Zinnia that much anyway. <fnb838> ?????? ???? find(?)ovel</fnb838>


    “As for the pool incident, she knew she was wrong. She just didn’t want to make Mom and Dad unhappy on her birthday. She never thought it would blow up like this.”


    A girl conveyed Betty’sments from Facebook.


    “Damn, hypocrite! She waited until the scandal blew up to y the saint,” Maisie fumed.


    It’s obvious Betty’s faking humility to gain public attention.


    She was deliberately ying the victim to fish for everyone’s sympathy.


    Lydia let out a coldugh. “<b>It’s </b>such a calcted move. She climbs her way up by stepping on others,” she scoffed.


    Lydia had saved all the videos. She deliberately zoomed in on every revealing expression of Betty’s, determined to expose her true colors. Then she put all the videos together into aption.


    Lydia’s voice was icy <b>as </b>she asked, “Has Ethan wrapped things up?”


    Maisie replied, “It’s all sorted. The OP on Facebook admitted he made everything up. Someone paid him to do it.”


    Maisie nced at their group chat and saw that Brian had just posted a video.


    The boy in the video had a bruised and swollen face<b>, </b>sobbing uncontrobly as he confessed that someone had put him up to it.


    Lydia said coldly, “Alright, I’ll make sure this video reaches everyone. If she wants to y dirty, let’s turn up

    “Keep an eye on thements. Note down anyone who insults Zinnia and reports them to me,” Lydiamanded calmly.


    Lydia thought, ‘Still not giving up? Fine, let’s really duke it out and see who prevails.


    <b>‘</b>It’s high time Betty tasted her own medicine.’


    Lydia remained eerily calm. Whenever they faced a problem, she was always the one to take charge, and ss 19 had long since learned to follow her lead without question.


    Maisie nced at the newly received forensic report on her phone and forwarded it to Lydia. “Lydia, add this to the file,” she instructed.


    The fingerprint report implicated Betty. Evidence such as the ne, the shredded contract, and the discarded screws and crime tools all pointed to her.


    Every piece of evidence matched Betty’s fingerprints. The report had just been sent to her by Yannis.


    Yannis had dispatched personnel to collect evidence. In wealthy families like the Shaws, someone usually takes care of sorting the trash. They’ll keep it for at least a year or so, just in case they identally throw something important away.


    Lydia nced at the report, added it to the evidence file, and then immediately hit send without hesitation.

    Meanwhile, Betty was hiding in the bathroom, a smirk on her face as she watched all the negativements about Zinnia.


    ‘Zinnia, you’ll never outy me,‘ Betty thought with a sneer. ‘I gave you a chance to walk away, but you just had to push your luck. Then you’ll never get a chance to turn things around.


    ‘She should never have dared to set her sights on Yannis, Betty thought angrily.


    When it came <i>to </i>the Shaw family, Betty thought with contempt, ‘I just want Zinnia to go back to her own ce, but she flirted with Yannis. I will never let her go. Betty was totally consumed with jealousy.


    ‘How dare that bitch get close to him? I couldn’t achieve in over a decade!‘ she thought.


    Last time, she never expected Zinnia to get help from the Lynn family. Zinniapletely took Betty by surprise, leaving her to ept that bitter defeat.


    With the Lynn family out of the picture, Jackson on a business trip, Charlie nothing but a bookworm, and Isaac away in another city, there’s no one left to shield Zinnia. ‘Let’s see who she can turn to for help this time,‘ Betty thought smugly.


    Zinnia already bothered Yannis once. Yannis hated getting involved. There’s no way he’ll help her again this time.

    Yannis absolutely detested people who tried to use him repeatedly just to climb the socialdder.


    Not even Jackson’s connections would work.


    Just imagining Zinnia’s utter ruin, Betty smiled ever wider. Her mask couldn’t hide the malicious gleam in her


    eyes.


    But as she smirked, the scratches on her face stung, making her wince in pain. A wave of gloom washed over her again.


    Yesterday, for some reason, not long after she left the office with Maelis yesterday, her face broke out in a rash. It was so itchy that she felt like she wanted to just scratch her whole face off.


    Maelis rushed Betty to the hospital, but the doctors couldn’t find anything wrong and just med it on allergies. Betty couldn’t help but think to herself, ‘What a loser!‘


    She was prescribed some ointment, and the itching eased a little. But when she got back home, the itching drove her crazy. She wanted to just peel her skin off.


    Later, someone posted a video of her at the hospital, and it made her so mad that she started throwing things around the room.


    In the end, it was the Moon Scar Cream she’d stolen from Zinnia that finally cleared up the rash on her face.


    She just had a few bloody scratches on her face from where Zinnia had scratched it. Once she’s back home and puts some cream on it for a couple of days, she should be back to normal pretty quickly.


    She’s almost out of the Moon Scar Cream, so she needs to check Zinnia’s room to see if there’s any left.


    Betty thought bitterly, ‘If I had known, I wouldn’t have given that bottle of Moon Scar Cream to Anne. I didn’t realize it worked so well! If I had kept it, I could have used it for any injuries I might getter.


    ‘I’m not sure if Anne has finished using it yet. I need toe up with a way to get it back from her, Betty thought.


    She had no idea that Zinnia actually had some good stuff. Moon Scar Cream is something they couldn’t even get their hands on, but Zinnia just had it.


    Anne sat in ss, working on her problems, but she couldn’t shake this strange feeling of unease. ncing at the posts by Betty, she bit her lip.


    Anne thought, ‘Betty, do you really dislike Zinnia that much?‘ She is determined to go find Betty.


    But the next second, her gaze locked onto her phone screen and she froze in shock.
