Upon hearing this, Ariana curved her lips into a mocking smile, ridiculing their naïveté and foolishness.
Vincent, who was just a year older than her, majoring in Business Administration, was a well-known heartthrob on campus. With impressive academic performance and good looks, he attracted a fair share of admirers.
However, she didn’t blame them. With Vincent's hypocritical demeanor, plenty of people had been deceived. Once she too fell into his trap.
Seeing Ariana laugh made the girls more angry, they asked through gritted teeth, "What are you laughing at?"
Without any courtesy, Ariana retorted, "I'm laughing at your stupidity! First, I did not have an abortion, and I could have my lawyer charge you for defamation. Second, your actions can constitute assault. Third, my engagement with Vincent was settled long ago. It’s not your place to point fingers!"
Her consecutive points left them somewhat flabbergasted.
"I am, after all, the heir to the White corporation. Your words have had an impact on me. If we go to court, you and your families probably can’t afford it."
The girls looked at each other in shock. Their parents were basically nouveau riche. In contrast, Ariana, the real heiress of a wealthy family, was too much for them to handle.
The anticipating crowd around them believed Ariana’s fair points and nodded in agreement, "Ariana has clarified it already, she didn’t have an abortion. You guys just came here to make a fuss without knowing the truth."
"No matter what, throwing rotten eggs is too much. But damn, those eggs really smell!"
Ariana lowered her gaze, smiling, she said, "You're right!"
When the police learned that it was the young lady of the White family who was attacked, they took the issue very seriously and soon found the girls involved.
They were just 20-something-year-old girls, daughters of nouveau riche who had grown up in a pampered environment. Having never been to a police station before and adding the fact that they have offended someone from the White family, knowing the potential consequences, made them confess to everything, implicating Jane.
Jane was shell-shocked when she learned that the police arrested everyone involved. She anxiously tried to reach Vincent for help, but the police had already found her.
