AN UNEXPECTED GROOM

Jessica asked teasingly:

– What happened? Could it be that you didn’t get the charcoal grilled lamb chop?

“No,” Christine said, bringing her phone. She opened the university forum and handed her phone to Roxane saying:

– Roxane, look…

She picked up the phone and looked down. His expression immediately froze.

Seeing that Roxane’s expression was not correct, Jessica immediately took out her phone to check the university forum. She immediately saw the shocking and eye-catching caption at the top of the forum.

[Explosive News] The rising star of M City University, Roxane Alvarez, has a bitter past that no one knows! She attempted suicide in the past!]

The message detailed that she was sent to the countryside shortly after her birth. He also talked about the rumors that she was a monster. It is said that as a result, she was locked up in her home when she was only a few years old, prohibited from going out. When she returned to M City, she was bullied by others. Since she was weak and timid, she was bullied even more.

More outrageously, the poster even said he had a photo of her from that time. The poster even said that if he had 10, 000 comments he would post the photo immediately.

The post was very detailed.

Most commenters criticized the poster and called her a bully. They called the poster shameless for also trying to post the photo.

However, a number of people urged the poster to upload the photo. There were also quite a few hateful comments.

Christine looked at Roxane with concern and asked:

– Roxane, is that true?

– How is it possible ?

Jessica denied it immediately, saying angrily:

– It’s a rumor! How could the forum moderator allow this to be posted?

Blood had flowed from Roxane’s face at this point; his face was pale. His eyes were fixed on the phone. She read the message word for word, digesting them. At that moment, she could not see or hear anything; she could only see the post in front of her eyes. She bit her lower lip so hard that it bled, but it seemed like she didn’t feel the pain at all.

Jessica and Christine exchanged a look, looking worried.

-Roxy, are you okay? Say something…

– Roxane, this is just nonsense! We won’t believe it…

– Roxy you…

She felt her brain buzzing. His head suddenly hurt a lot. His vision grew blurry as chaotic images from the past flooded his brain like a tide. She was almost overwhelmed by the images.

Slam!

The phone fell on the table.

Roxane looked down and didn’t look at anyone. She stood up and turned to leave.

Christine reached out to grab it and asked:

– Roxane, where are you going?

His head was still down. She didn’t look at Christine. Her voice was so hoarse and inaudible that it sounded like she had wandered for a long time in the desert and had no water to drink when she said:

– I want to be alone. Don’t blame me.

She pulled Christine’s hand away. She ignored the strange looks around as she hurried away.

– Roxane… Christine shouted, intending to pursue her.

Jessica immediately stopped him.

– Let her calm down. She needs time alone.

After all, she had known Roxane longer than Christine. She naturally knew her better.

-So what should we do now?

Christine asked. His almond-shaped eyes were filled with worry. She said :

-Why don’t I call my brother to talk to him about it? My brother will definitely be able to solve this problem!

“Don’t tell Sebastian first,” Jessica said. She feared that Roxane wouldn’t want Sebastien to know about this. There was a chance she would feel even worse if he found out.

-So what should we do?

Christine asked anxiously:

-The message… Could it be that…

Christine did not continue her words.

Jessica did not respond to Christine. She said:

– I have already sent an email to the moderator, requesting that this post be removed. However, I have not received a response yet. After a moment, as if thinking of something, she looked at Christine and said:

– Aren’t you a computer science student? You should be able to delete the message, right?

Christine regained her senses and quickly nodded.

– Yes, yes, I can delete the message! However, the computer lab is closed today and I didn’t bring my laptop!

Jessica has decidedly ditched the charcoal-grilled lamb chops she fought so hard to get. She stood up and said:

– Let’s go to the Internet cafe.

…

Christine had never been to an internet cafe before.

There were a lot of students smoking and swearing while playing games.

Jessica didn’t seem surprised by this. She quickly opened a private room so they wouldn’t have to breathe the stale air outside.

Christine turned on the computer and quickly logged into the university forum. Her fingers moved quickly across the keyboard as she struggled to delete the forum post.

Jessica sat nearby. She didn’t understand at all what Christine was doing. She stewed in her anxiety. After a while, she hesitated before finally opening her WeChat and sending a message to Enzo.

…

After Roxane left the cafeteria, she continued running in a daze. She ran until her heart felt like it was about to explode before she stopped. She felt like her world was spinning. The dizziness made her nauseous.

She leaned against the willow at the side of the road. She vomited for a long time, but nothing came out.

She had a headache; she felt like she was going to explode.

She didn’t want to return to Moon Pavilion or return to the Alvarez family house. She couldn’t pick up her grandmother from the hospital. She had nowhere to go.

There were a lot of students around as it was lunch time.

She had the impression that everyone was looking at her with inquisitive, mocking and contemptuous looks.

She sniffed before straightening her back. She left the university in a trance.

When she saw a taxi, she quickly hailed it and got in.

-Mademoiselle, where are you going? asked the driver several times.

She looked at the driver in a daze before forcing an unsightly smile onto her face and saying:

– I don’t know.

The driver turned to her and said:Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

– Miss, have you broken up with anyone? Do you want to call your friend to come pick you up?

She lowered her head and remained silent for a long time. After a while, she gave an address with great difficulty.

The driver didn’t speak any more. He started his engine and sped away.
