Chapter 506
506:
“That’s complete bullshit! I haven’t even stepped foot on campus! I’ve been holed up at home this entire time! My dad just tore into me. He said Professor Wright has ties to the Gomez family. We’re in deep trouble. No joke!”
Katie’s face went pale as she stared at her chat history with Thea. Could it be that she had offended someone, not Thea? But Katie thought hard and couldn’t recall offending anyone important. Then, one name suddenly came to mind. Was it Dylan?
She quickly shook off the thought. If Dylan wanted to get back at her, he wouldn’t need to go through all this. With his power, he could have easily erased the Dawson family from Dorfield. If it wasn’t Dylan, then who else could it be?
Another name came into her thoughts. That sneaky Christina! Recently, the only person she had truly upset was that awful Christina. Christina had tricked her into unwittingly insulting Dylan, and now she was trying to destroy her reputation. What a cruel snake Christina was!
“Everyone, please don’t believe these rumors—they’re not true…” Katie looked at Cassandra, who showed no emotion, and gave a nervous, apologetic smile. “Professor Wright, please trust me. I’ll find out who set me up and tell you the truth. I hope you’ll give me another chance after that. I’m sorry for wasting your time, everyone. I’ll start looking into it right now…”
After saying that, Katie rushed off the stage, filled with anger.
Storming toward Bethel’s ward, Katie kicked the door open in fury and marched in, leg raised to deliver a kick to Christina, just like Christina had once done to her.
As the kick was about to land, Christina, quick as a flash, easily sidestepped the attack.
Katie had thrown her kick with such fierce force that when she missed her target, she completely lost her balance and ended up in a painfully awkward split on the floor.
“Ah!” Katie gasped, a jolt of searing pain erupting through her legs. The agony was so intense that it felt almost unbearable, threatening to pull her into unconsciousness. How dare that wicked bitch Christina inflict such pain upon her?
Once the initial wave of pain began to recede, Katie unleashed a furious scream. “Christina! You scheming wench! Why the hell did you plot against me? Today’s speech was absolutely vital for my future, and you completely ruined everything!”

Christina simply leaned back, an almost unsettling calm about her. The sudden commotion jolted Bethel awake.
“I honestly have no idea what you’re even talking about,” Christina stated, her voice remarkably calm and level.
Bethel’s brow furrowed into a deep frown, and she shot a piercing glare at Katie. “What in the world is going on here? Christina has been right here with me, in this very hospital room, the entire time. So, how in God’s name could she have possibly ruined your speech? You need concrete proof before you start throwing around accusations like that. You just burst in here, started blaming Christina without a shred of evidence, and even tried to kick her. Don’t you think you owe her an apology for your behavior?”
Bethel found herself wishing, with a heavy sigh, that her own granddaughter possessed even half the sharp wit and intelligence that Christina had.
“An apology?” Katie sneered, a venomous edge to her voice. “Why the hell would I apologize? I didn’t do a single goddamn thing wrong!”
