Reborn: The Tyrant's Obsession novel Chapter 128

Chapter 128: She heard everything

"Why’s she backing out now?"

"She’s not. I think she’s dead set on this..."

Those whispers fell in Jenny’s ears.

Seeing Ella’s provocative smile, Jenny exhaled sharply. "Fine." 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

Ella smiled, "So that’s a yes to my bet, Professor?"

Jenny nodded with a smile, "It’s improper to stall the other students here. As long as you comply with the procedures, I will agree to the bet. If you top in all the papers, I will resign from my post."

Jenny scoffed inwardly. No way that girl could top anything, let alone every paper. If she really was that capable, she would not have failed her surprise test.

But in front of the eyes of the students, Jenny’s actions and words were like that of an elder dealing with a fussy child and coaxing the child to be obedient.

She was not even taking her seriously. Why would she corner her on purpose?

One of the female staff members gestured. "Come with us."

Ella followed without protest to the empty classroom nearby.

A few minutes later, they came out and shook their heads at Jenny.

"It seems like I have not let Professor down, have I?" Ella followed them with a smile.

Jenny looked at her but eventually she turned to the students who had gathered in the hallway, "Go back to your assigned classes. The exam will be starting in 15 minutes..."

The students who had gathered to watch Ella be humiliated saw that there was no scope for drama. And after Jenny’s reminder, they had no reason to linger there further so they started dispersing.

Jenny gave Ella one lingering look before she turned to leave.

"Professor..."

Jenny halted in tracks and tilted her chin as she turned to Ella, "What now?"

Ella stepped forward, "I know it was you who had me kidnapped.’’

Those words were spoken by Jenny’s ears in a whisper but somehow, they landed like thunder on her heart.

She retreated a few steps back as her throat dried slowly.

But when she looked at Ella, the girl was still smiling sweetly as if she was not the one who was saying those things.

Instinctively, Jenny observed her surroundings. As the students were leaving, very few people remained and they were at a distance so they could not have caught the implication in Ella’s words.

"Nonsense."

Ella continued smiling, "Professor, I really never wanted to make life difficult for you. We could have just minded our own businesses and it would all have been fine."

With a brief pause, Ella added, "You are Dean Mo’s mistress, but what did it have to do with me?"

Hearing her say those words out loud, Jenny trembled and looked around herself again, "That’s... n-not true."

Ella chuckled. "Is it? If it was just a misunderstanding, would you have gone to such lengths to ruin my career back then?"
