Her Revenge From Shadow to Sunlight novel Chapter 70

Chapter 70

‘I need to get that footage from the store owner, fast. Before someone else gets to it and erases the evidence.

‘But I can’t go myself. Tiffany’s definitely watching me. If I show up, she’ll just bribe the owner before I can get

to him.‘

Alicia turned to Sienna. “Sienna, I need you to do something for me.”

Sienna looked at her. “What do you mean, ‘do something‘? Your business is my business. Just tell me what your need.”

Alicia leaned in and whispered in Sienna’s ear.

Sienna nodded, then said loudly, “Okay, Alicia, you head back to class. I’m gonna run to the stationery store to grab some pens.”

“Alright,” Alicia replied. “See you later.”

And with that, Sienna and Alicia went their separate ways, Sienna heading directly for the stationery store.

Alicia stood there for a moment, feeling a pair of eyes on her. She glanced in that direction and saw someone quickly turn away, pretending to be just another student passing by.

Alicia smirked and started walking toward the campus surveillance office.

Out of the corner of her eye, she saw the person pull out their phone and make a call.

She paid it no mind and kept walking.

Just as she reached the door to the surveillance office, Tiffany Lawrence walked out.

‘So, my little tail already tipped her off,‘ Alicia thought. ‘She rushed over to deal with the footage!

Tiffany smiled sweetly. “Alicia, what brings you to the surveillance office?”

Alicia looked at her, her own smile full of hidden meaning. “Probably the same thing you’re here for.”

Then she added, “You’re so concerned about me, Tiffany. Did you come to help me find out who’s behind that picture on the forum?”

Tiffany glanced at the students milling about in the hallway. This idiot, Alicia, was just handing her a golden opportunity to score some brownie points. If people thought she was here helping Alicia, she’d look like the perfect sister. An opportunity she wasn’t about to pass up.

She raised her voice slightly. “Of course! I was so worried when I heard what happened, I came right over to check the cameras.”

Her words had the desired effect. People started murmuring their approval. “Wow, Tiffany is so kind. And to think someone on the forum was accusing her of posting that thread. How could anyone even say something

like that?”

“I know, right? Even after being wrongly accused, she’s still here trying to help Alicia find evidence She’s a true class act.”

Hearing the praise, Alicia remained unfazed. She looked at Tiffany and asked softly, “So, did you find anything?”

Tiffany feigned regret, shrugging. “Unfortunately, there are no cameras in the Office of Student Conduct.”

As soon as the words left her mouth, Alicia raised an eyebrow. “Oh? So you knew the picture was taken in the Office of Student Conduct? Does that mean you took it? Come to think of it, I remember you stepping out right when I was talking to President Lee. You were standing right in the doorway. That’s the exact angle the photo was taken from.”

Tiffany’s expression froze. She’d forgotten. She had deliberately blurred the background of the photo to let people’s imaginations run wild. She knew how nasty people could be, just like in that village where she’d grown up. Those people were vicious, insecure, and easy to manipulate. All you had to do was give them a little nudge, and they’d jump to the filthiest conclusion.

But in her haste, she’d forgotten that crucial detail. All she’d wanted was to see Alicia’s face when she told her there was no camera, to watch her despair.

Now Alicia had walked her right into a trap. She could feel the stares of the other students, their expressions shifting.

Whispers erupted. “Wait, she’s right. How did Tiffany know it was in the Office of Student Conduct? Did she actually take it?”

“The way Alicia laid it all out, the angle, the timing… it sounds like she’s telling the truth.”

“So why would Tiffany take a picture like that? Does that mean she’s the one who posted all that stuff online? I thought she was supposed to be this sweet, caring sister…

“Some people are just two–faced.”

…

Hearing them, Tiffany’s hands balled into fists. For a moment, she was speechless.

‘Whatever, she thought. ‘So I can’t argue my way out of this. I won’t. There’s no camera in that office, so Alicia can’t prove a thing. She can’t prove anyone else was there, which means she can’t clear her name. As far as everyone’s concerned, she’s involved with President Lee.

‘And who cares about him, anyway? He’s a washed–up president who’s been out of the loop for ages. The one time he shows up, it’s to defend Alicia.

‘Well, he can go to hell.

‘Once this affair is set in stone, we’ll force him to resign. Mr. Sherman has been acting president for long enough. Plus, he’s close with my dad. He’s my father’s man. It’s time to put him in charge for real.

Alicia watched the series of emotions flash across Tiffany’s face–from rage to a final, chilling malice. “Why so quiet, Tiffany?” Alicia asked. “Did you post that photo?”

Her question hung in the air. The passersby had all stopped, waiting for an answer.

Tiffany knew she had to play her ace in the hole: tears. She knew her frail appearance worked to her advantage. The years in that village, malnourished and hungry, had left her thin and delicate. People loved a victim, and she was an expert at playing one.
