From Ashes of Scandals to His Embrace novel Chapter 198

Laurinda had just reached the top of the stairs when she spotted her homeroom teacher hurrying toward her. He was out of breath, his face flushed, and she couldn’t help but ask, “Teacher, where are you rushing off to in such a hurry?”

He looked at her with a complicated expression, his mood written all over his face.

“Did you see Owen when you came in just now? He says you were wandering around campus during class. He wants me to bring you to him so he can question you himself.”

Laurinda listened, calm as ever. She already had a pretty good idea who was behind this mess. Aileen just never learned, did she? Maybe it was time for her fake little act to get ripped apart once and for all.

She’d been planning to play it slow, but at this rate, what was the point?

Her teacher watched her, clearly worried she was scared about Owen’s anger. He tried to reassure her.

“Don’t worry, I’m here. I’ll speak up for you. You just got back to school, it’s normal for you to be around campus. None of this is your fault.”

Laurinda gave him a small smile and slipped her phone into her pocket. “I’m fine. Let’s go, before Owen decides to give you grief too.”

She flashed him a look that said she wasn’t worried. If anything, she was curious to see who would end up on the losing side today.

This Owen was trouble, no question. The way he’d rolled out the red carpet for Aileen made it obvious he was after her investment. To impress her, he’d probably stop at nothing to make Laurinda’s life difficult.
