Deadly Doting Marriage - Chapter 24

Chapter 24

The matter about Kathleen rejecting Jonah had created a buzz, and the number of people who joined in the forum’s discussion had exceeded the thousands. Moreover, there are already more than ten of thousand comments.

However, unfortunately for Kathleen, someone uploaded pictures of her getting into a million-dollar car.

Kathleen once again became the center of the students’ discussion overnight.

The students had always loved gossiping. Once Kathleen’s matter was exposed, the consequences were obvious.

Now, almost everyone was talking about this incident.

Nancy sighed again. “This is just great. Kathleen, you’re really famous now. Everyone on our campus knows you!”

After scrolling through the forum, she gave Nancy back her phone. “It’s childish!”

Kathleen was here to study, not to be part of the gossip. Hence, she was not concerned about what they were talking about on the internet.

Nancy wanted to remind her of a few things, but the school bell suddenly rang. Soon, the lecturer walked into the class.

She sighed gently and had no choice but to stay silent.

In the classroom next door.

Waverly had been staring at the forum since she uploaded the pictures. Seeing those malicious commentaries, Waverly was on cloud nine.

She quickly replied to one of the threads. “Kathleen is not an old man’s mistress. She’s just a stupid girl that’s being taken care of by my cousin, John Lambert. Her father is a murderer…”

As soon as the news broke, it created an uproar among the students on campus.

“Kathleen has so many skeletons in her closets! Her father was actually a murderer!”

“That’s right. Her parents are gone, and she’s adopted by someone else!”

“They said that children who their parents do not bring up are usually abnormal. Just look at Kathleen. The saying is right! Something is obviously wrong with her brain!”

“Humph! If her father were a murderer, how great could she be? An apple doesn’t fall far from the tree!”

Under Waverly’s exaggerations, Kathleen became the university’s most-hated person. Wherever she went, people would be pointing their fingers at her.

Nancy could not bear it anymore, so she decided to defend Kathleen on the forum by putting in a few good words. However, her comments were quickly drowned by their curses.

“Humph! Who is this pretentious person? Why are they suddenly defending Kathleen?”

“Do you know Kathleen? Do you understand her? A girl like her is no match for Jonah.”

“Right? The person defending Kathleen must be the same type of person as her. Curse her!”

“Yes! Curse her! Kathleen’s a b*tch, and so are you!”

When Kathleen saw the comments, she was outraged!

She looked at Kathleen with a face full of anger. “Kathy, look! These people are ruthless! How could they scold you like that? Their words are so unkind!”

Humans were so terrifying when they showed their true colors.

Kathleen put down her phone and replied softly, “Ignore it, Nancy. These are just gossip, and I won’t be affected by it!”

The only purpose for her in university was to get her education. Hence, she would not waste time on these unnecessary people and matters.

Nonetheless, Kathleen seemed to have underestimated the severity of the gossip.

During her break, Kathleen went to the toilet as usual. However, as she went in, several girls were following her too.

Kathleen thought they were there to use the toilet, so she did not pay much attention to it. Then, she opened the toilet door and went inside.

However, as soon as she closed the toilet door, those girls rushed up, took out a few sticks from the storeroom, and blocked Kathleen’s door.

Kathleen heard the noises outside, and she hurriedly pushed the door, only to realize that she could not open it.

After the few girls were done, they gloated.

“This b*tch’s father was a murderer, and she even seduced Jonah just to reject him. We must teach her a lesson!”

“That’s right. Otherwise, she will think she’s better than everyone else like she does all the time!”

“Do you think someone will come and save her?”

“Of course not! She’s the public enemy now. Who would dare to save her!”

After saying that, the girls looked at each other and burst into laughter. Then, they swaggered away.

In the toilet, Kathleen frowned. She wanted to take her phone and inform Nancy about it, but when she touched her pocket, she noticed that she had left her phone on the table in the classroom.

Damn it! She had forgotten to bring along her phone!

On the campus, Jonah was coincidentally walking out of the toilet on the campus, and he heard a few girls snickering at a corner.

“Look! Kathleen had been squatting for so long in the toilet, and no one came to open her door!”

“Humph! That’s what she gets for rejecting Jonah!”

“Who does she think she is? Is she aware of Jonah’s status? How dare she pretend to be noble! Disgusting!”

“Okay, let’s just leave her in the toilet!”

The school bell rang, and the students all rushed toward their own classrooms.

Jonah was stunned and stood where he was unmoved. What were they talking about? Was Kathleen locked inside?

Jonah went to the female toilet and glanced inside. Then, he shouted at the door, “Kathleen, are you inside?”

In the toilet, Kathleen heard Jonah’s voice, and she yelled, “I’m here! I’m trapped inside!”

It was indeed Kathleen.

Jonah ran inside, and he immediately saw the wooden sticks blocking the toilet door. He anxiously asked, “Kathleen! Kathleen, are you okay?”

Kathleen replied calmly, “I’m fine!”

Jonah breathed a sigh of relief. Then, he hurriedly removed the wooden sticks in front of the door.

Soon, Kathleen was able to open the door and get out of the toilet.

Jonah sized Kathleen up and down. He felt at ease when he noticed that she was unharmed.

Kathleen softly uttered, “Thank you, Jonah!”

“You don’t have to thank me. This is what I should do!”

Kathleen glanced at him and said nothing more. Then, she quickly made her move to her classroom.

Watching her back as she left, Jonah sighed. She was still unwilling to accept him!

Under Waverly’s orchestration, the discussion in their university forum was getting more intense.

Each day, Waverly would comment something mean about Kathleen on the forum, causing her to have a tougher time at university.

With Waverly’s influence, the number of students mocking, suppressing, and insulting Kathleen increased.

Nevertheless, Kathleen did not say anything. She had not even refuted those comments.

When school ended, she packed her books and walked toward the entrance.

Jonah saw her from afar and followed her outside.

Waverly saw this scene from afar, and her eyes twinkled. Then, she secretly stalked them.

When they reached a grove, Jonah instantly walked in front of her. “Kathleen, wait!”

Kathleen looked at him and asked, “Is there anything I can help you with?”

“Kathleen, are you sure you can stay in this school any longer? Follow me. Let’s get away from this place!”

He had been hearing rumors about Kathleen for the past few days, and he saw how ruthless others were treating her. These made Jonah sad.

He thought that Kathleen should not suffer such insults.

Kathleen replied indifferently, “Thank you, but I’m not leaving. There’s nothing that I can’t handle. I know I’m innocent, and I have a clear conscience!”

“You have a clear conscience, but the students don’t agree!”

Jonah pulled her hand and begged, “Kathleen, leave the Lamberts and follow me. I’ll take you away from here. Let’s go to Movania! I can take care of you.”

Waverly recorded all of these, and her eyes flickered with jealousy.

What was up with these men? John and Jonah liked Kathleen.

She was nothing but a fool, so why did they fall for her?

Waverly watched as her beloved Prince Charming, fawning over for a fool. Finally, she could not stand it anymore and went forward, pulling Jonah’s hand. “Jonah, Kathleen’s just another b*tch, and her father was a murderer, yet you still want to take her away from here?”
