Chapter 656 The Post
Catherine returned from the laboratory at noon and saw Amelia and Isabella huddled in front of the computer, whispering to each other. When Amelia heard the sound, she turned and eagerly invited Catherine to join them.
“Catherine, did you know? An old man has kept a girl at our school, and the old man’s family has caused a scene at the school. The post is now on the school forum! The whistleblower hasn’t exposed the girl’s name yet. There’s only a photo of a car. The whistleblower says that if this girl doesn’t voluntarily drop out of school within 24 hours, all her information will be exposed!” Amelia said.
Catherine was not initially interested in this kind of gossip, but she couldn’t resist Amelia’s excitement and enthusiasm. Amelia was always so outgoing and friendly, making it hard for Catherine to refuse her.
“Catherine, take a look, please!” Amelia pleaded.
Catherine took a glance. When she saw the photo on the homepage, she narrowed her eyes, took the mouse from Amelia, and scrolled through it. Amelia thought Catherine was being polite by pretending to be reading the news.
“Catherine, if you don’t like it, just take a quick look. You don’t have to be so careful!” Amelia said.
Catherine looked away, put down the mouse, and lay on her bed.
Amelia didn’t mind. She knew that Catherine was always like this. Catherine was easy to get along with, but she didn’t talk much, probably because all geniuses were like that.
Isadora had been watching the post all day, and she was delighted to see the increasing number of comments and the rising popularity of the post. When she returned after lunch, she saw that the post had been deleted, and she immediately contacted the forum administrator.
When she found out that a hacker was responsible for the deletion, she didn’t get angry but instead showed a pleased expression. Only the person involved would care enough to go to great lengths to delete the post. Isadora was sure that the person who deleted the post was Catherine, who was feeling guilty and afraid of exposure.
Isadora was convinced that someone had kept Catherine because if Catherine hadn’t been a kept woman, she would have come out to clear things up instead of acting so sneaky. Isadora uploaded the photo and once again posted it on the forum, this time not hiding anything. She knew the post would quickly gain attention, and the person who deserved punishment would receive it.
After lunch, Ronin went to find Catherine. With his boyish appearance, he was very familiar with the dormitory manager. Usually, other boys couldn’t go upstairs, but he always had no trouble getting through, and the dormitory manager would even send him upstairs with a smile.
When he arrived at Catherine’s dorm, Ronin immediately handed the lattes to Isabella and Amelia, which instantly piqued their interest.
Amelia took the latte, a little surprised. “Ronin, why didn’t you give it to Catherine?” she asked.
Ronin only brought two lattes. He gave one to her and the other to Isabella, which meant Catherine couldn’t get it.
“It’s okay, Catherine doesn’t like latte. I brought her something else,” he said, raising the thermos in his hand, containing rose liqueur, which was Catherine’s favorite drink.
While the two were talking, Catherine happened to enter from the door. Ronin immediately turned around and warmly approached her. “Catherine!”
Amelia was not surprised by his behavior. She even felt a little sorry for Ronin’s future girlfriend. With his dependence on Catherine, even though it wasn’t a romantic relationship, most girls would probably not accept it.
When Catherine saw Ronin, her expression remained unchanged. She reached for the documents on the table, but Ronin’s hand was faster. ” Catherine, let me do it!”
Catherine didn’t stop him. “I’m going to the lab. Let’s chat as we walk!”
“Okay!” Ronin agreed and obediently followed behind Catherine as they walked downstairs.
“Catherine, did Shane say anything yesterday?” Ronin was most concerned about this. Shane’s arrival was intimidating and aggressive, and he was a bit afraid.
As they walked, Catherine replied, “We just had dinner.”
“Just dinner?” Ronin was surprised. Shane’s arrival was quite aggressive this time, mobilizing his forces and even resorting to kidnapping Ronin to threaten Catherine. But when the two met, they just had a meal, which was unbelievable.
Ronin pondered for a long time and still felt that something was wrong. ” Catherine, I think Shane must be plotting something!” he said with certainty.
It was very likely that Shane was plotting something, but Ronin wasn’t one hundred percent sure about it. Seeing that Ronin still didn’t understand, Catherine explained the situation to him.
“Edson has caused such a mess this time, so the most important thing for Shane’s visit to Eskana is to clean it up. He will cause trouble for me. That’s for sure. But it won’t be now. He’ll make a move when he’s done dealing with it!”
But when Shane would be done dealing with it remained to be seen. If Branden could set a trap for Edson, then he could certainly set a trap for Shane. This was Eskana, and if Shane wanted to cause trouble for Catherine, Branden would intervene.
Ronin listened to Catherine’s words and felt a little more relaxed. “That’s good. Then we’ll have more time to prepare!”
Ronin’s phone, which he had in his pocket, had been vibrating constantly. Seeing that Catherine wasn’t saying anything, he took out his phone to check. It was a series of WhatsApp messages from his roommate.
[Ronin, hurry up and go to the forum!]
[Catherine is in trouble!]
Ronin frowned as he read the messages. He immediately switched pages and logged onto the school forum. As soon as he got there, he saw a trending post at the top.
The eye-catching headline and thousands of comments made Ronin frown and click on it. When he saw the photo in the post, he exploded with rage. After reading the content, he couldn’t help but curse, “Damn it! Catherine, someone is slandering you, saying you’re being kept!”
Ronin quickly handed the phone to Catherine, who took a look. The person who had exposed the photo in the previous post had done it again, and the content was even more explosive. This time, Catherine’s name was directly exposed, along with her personal information.
As for the photo, it was a picture of Catherine and Shane dining at a restaurant, taken from behind. There was also a picture taken at the school gate, showing Catherine getting into a Bentley car.
Although the two didn’t have any intimate gestures and even maintained a distance of two steps while walking, the exaggerated descriptions by the person who exposed them made their relationship seem unusual.
After Ronin finished reading, he was so angry he felt like he was about to have a heart attack. He could tell at a glance that the old man was Shane. “How could anyone suspect that Catherine is being kept by Shane?” he asked inwardly. “Is this guy out of his goddamn mind?”
Catherine handed the phone back to Ronin, calmly saying, “Check the ID address and see who posted it.”
“Okay!” Ronin promised that if he found the troublemaker behind the scenes, he would definitely not let them off lightly. He wanted to beat them up!
