NovelGoldChapter 285 Noelle's expression remained icy. "Get it straight. You and Samuel planned to harm me, and you're the real culprit here. If anyone deserves to suffer, it's you, not me!" "This has been your fault from the beginning, Noelle. Why didn't you helpin the first place?" "Why should I? Now that Samuel is caught, all the videos and pictures will be deleted. They never leaked. If you're too stupid to see that, who else is to blame?" Jessica was on the verge of breaking down as she realized she had misspoken. She shouldn't have tried to pin the blon Noelle. If she hadn't, the latter wouldn't have exposed the truth.
A teacher turned to Jessica and instructed, "Now explain!" Jessica started trembling in fright. "It wasn't me! It has nothing to do with me!" "But many students overheard your conversation with Samuel last night, and it was clear you two planned this together.

She brought this upon herself." Grace sighed. She had no desire to intervene further. Jessica's downfall was entirely her own doing.

Noelle submitted the evidence she had and filed an official complaint about Samuel's misuse of his position as the team captain.
In the afternoon, Noelle and Grace headed to class together. Along the full the way, they overheard students discussing the dorm incident from last night. As Noelle entered class, curious gazes followed her, but she was already used to it.
