When Khloe learned of the interrogation’s conclusion, a faint smile crept onto her face. This was exactly what she had expected.
Sloane had spent years building a carefully crafted facade of goodness at school, all while working tirelessly to damage Khloe’s reputation, creating widespread prejudice against her among their peers.
By involving the police and getting them summoned to the station, Khloe knew she had rattled them. They might feel a twinge of fear at first, but that would quickly turn into anger.
However, it didn’t bother Khloe if they remained oblivious. Their parents would find the truth.
The parents of these students were seasoned business professionals. When all their children defended Sloane together, how would they see her? Sloane had landed herself in a huge mess.
Khloe’s goal was to chip away at Sloane’s flawless reputation, especially among the elite circles. For someone as ambitious as Sloane, who thrived on climbing the social hierarchy and aspired to superiority, this would be a devastating blow.
Within thirty minutes, a fleet of high-end cars filled the parking lot outside the police station.
When the police briefed the parents on the day’s incidents, they all vehemently rejected the allegations. To these parents, their children had been brought up with impeccable education and strong morals, incapable of using foul language or engaging in bullying.
It wasn’t until they were confronted with undeniable video evidence that they had no choice but to believe the truth. A few well-dressed executives, likely losing their cool for the first time in their lives, turned on their children in anger. The police station erupted into chaos, filled with shouts, desperate pleas, and the clatter of chairs being flung in frustration.
However, their outbursts were soon brought to an end, and the chief escorted the parents to the conference room for a more private discussion.
The officer responsible for the case, not wanting to risk any mistakes, presented the interrogation findings and shared his expert analysis.
“We’ve questioned plenty of offenders, and based on our experience, these students exhibit a similar pattern of thinking. We believe they’ve been influenced or manipulated psychologically, making them easy tools in someone else’s scheme.”
“That’s absurd! You can’t throw out baseless accusations like that. My son has always stood for what’s right and been a beacon of positivity.” A senior executive from a construction company slammed his hand on the table in fury.
“Have you done your research before branding our children as criminals? My daughter won a gold medal in the Global Digital Technology Competition. She’s too intelligent to be manipulated!”
The police chief stepped in to restore order and gestured for the officer to proceed.
“The students have admitted to bullying Khloe Evans, but they justified it, claiming she deserved it. What’s strange, however, is that while they barely had any interaction with her, they all shared a remarkably uniform negative opinion of her.”
One of the parents asked, “What’s the name of the girl they were supposedly helping?”
“Sloane Evans,” the officer answered.
The parent paused, mulling over the name, then inquired,
“Is she related to Khloe Evans?”
“They’re half-sisters.”
As the parents absorbed this new information, their understanding of the situation deepened, and their anger grew even stronger.
It became clear their children had been used as pawns in the feud between the two sisters.
Khloe sat quietly in a chair at the police station.
Her phone vibrated in her pocket, breaking the stillness. Pulling it out, she saw Henrik’s name pop up with a message. “Where are you?”
The moment Khloe saw his message, the tension that had been gnawing at her all morning seemed to loosen just a little.
She quickly typed back, “At the police station.”
Before she could put her phone down, Henrik’s call came through, his voice sharp and concerned. “What happened? Has someone been giving you trouble?”
Khloe wasn’t in the mood to explain everything over the phone. “Just come get me.”
“I’ll be there soon. Wait for me.”
Khloe could imagine Henrik snatching his car keys and making his way straight to the underground garage. A small, almost imperceptible smile tugged at her lips. But the smile didn’t last. Soon, Eric stormed in, his face full of anger.
His eyes, cold and cutting, locked onto Khloe. “Khloe, it’s you again. Why are you always making trouble?”
Khloe wasn’t interested in responding to him. She simply closed her eyes and leaned back, trying to block him out and regain some peace.
Eric’s temper flared hotter, and he was just about to storm over and seize Khloe.
Before he could get to her, Dorothy stepped in, her voice loud and tearful. “Eric, thank goodness you’re here! You won’t believe what happened. Khloe humiliated Sloane in front of everyone and dragged all of us to the police station.”
At first, Dorothy and Gwyn had been completely unshaken, confident that their families’ influence and the number of people backing them would protect them.
However, when their parents arrived and, rather than siding with them, were furious and started demanding answers from Sloane, it finally dawned on them that things weren’t going according to plan.
Eric shot them a quick look before snapping at Khloe. “Khloe, is it impossible for you to stay out of trouble for even a day?”
Clinton returned with a bottle of water for Khloe. Upon noticing Eric’s aggressive stance, he frowned. “Eric, don’t make a fool of the Watson family here!”
Eric’s expression darkened as he saw Clinton. “Clinton! What are you doing here? This has nothing to do with you.” His gaze darted between Khloe and Clinton, his anger escalating.
Was it possible that Khloe had ensnared Clinton as well? Her audacity knew no bounds.
Clinton saw right through Eric’s suspicions and shot back, “I’m not as twisted as you. Get your mind out of the gutter. I’m here as a representative of the student council from Zhecrora University to provide my testimony.”
He sat down, his face hard and unreadable, fixing a sharp gaze on Eric. “Have you lost your mind? You’re making assumptions without knowing the full story. Khloe’s the one who’s been wronged here.”
