Chapter 61 She Drank His Water
Chapter 61 She Drank His Water
Zoey felt regretful because she had thought she had met someone who actually understood art, but it turned out that the other person...
She sighed inwardly, a trace of disappointment crossing her eyes.
She quietly observed Orlando, curious about his thoughts on her designer being perceived as a mistress.
But Orlando was too composed. He even took up the water the waiter had prepared earlier and sipped it as if all of this was unimportant to him.
There were soft whispers all around.
"She's stunning, but she's a mistress. It's no surprise she's so self-assured."
"Whose marriages did she destroy? Was she a mistress since she was a student?"
"She is accustomed to being a mistress. Such a waste of her beauty."
"Don't you think she's mentally tough? Even after her heinous past was revealed, she remained calm."
Unconsciously, everyone's gazes turned to Penny. Penny stood quietly with a slight frown on her forehead.
"Don't Ms. Bender and Ms. Foster know that one should take responsibility for their words?"
She said calmly, taking out her phone. "Ms. Bender, I've given you a chance."
After pressing the play button, Fiona's voice instantly came through.
"You tried to seduce Rocco back then, but his wife chased you to the school and poured paint on you. It caused quite a commotion. Several years have passed; did you think everyone had forgotten it? Besides, I'm the head now."
"Mr. McKay often asks me about you."
"Now you're just a designer. If Mr. McKay finds out your whereabouts, will he come looking for you personally? After all, he regrets not sleeping with you back then. He's been longing for you for a long time." As a teacher and head, how can she say these words to her former student?
Penny finished playing the recording and held her phone lightly in her fingertips.
"Ms. Bender, why don't you tell us who I was the mistress of? Was it your ex-lover, Rocco? Too bad! You admitted it in the recording yourself. Back then, when you and he pressured me together, I resisted with all my might. To make me submit, you didn't hesitate to spread rumors about me plagiarizing, almost preventing me from receiving my graduation certificate. Even the work I submitted for the competition was sent back. Ms. Bender, you're really enjoying yourself now. But I wonder how many students you've pressured like this to where you sent them to Rocco's bed."
Fiona's face turned pale as paper, and even the last trace of blood drained.
Penny smiled and looked at the police, pointing at Fiona.
"Officers, I want to suit not just Ms. Foster for defamation, but also the head of Chatville University for defaming students and forcing them to accompany the investors. The evidence of coercion against me is on her phone."
The video that Fiona used to threaten Penny now became the most favorable evidence.
Penny knew very well that the existence of that video allowed her to reveal the truth.
This was Chatville University, with so many vital figures around. The police couldn't afford to be lenient, so they quickly had someone retrieve Fiona's phone.
Fiona felt weak all over and looked at Mr. Hardy for help.
Mr. Hardy's face also turned gray, and his lips trembled. He almost fainted directly.
Fiona's phone was taken away, and a hidden file contained videos of her scheming to pressure female students was found out.
Some students were wholly devastated and gave up on this career path completely.
Some didn't even receive their graduation certificates and became the laughingstock of their families.
The art studio at Chatville University's School of Arts was large enough to hold numerous awards, but it was also little enough to not accommodate a group of girls' dreams. When the police saw those videos, their expressions changed instantly. They handcuffed Fiona with silver handcuffs.
"Ms. Bender, the evidence is conclusive. Please go with us."
After saying that, the police turned to Ruby.
"Ms. Foster, please come with us to make a statement."
Ruby's mind was blank, and she didn't understand how the situation had developed in a completely unexpected direction for her.
Meanwhile, Fiona slumped to the ground, weak and unable to get up.
It's over.
Everything is finished.
That video not only failed to threaten Penny, but it also became evidence that pushed herself into the abyss.
How did it come to this...
She grabbed onto Mr. Hardy's trouser leg as if seeking help.
"Mr. Hardy! Save me! You were involved in her affairs too! Didn't you tacitly approve of what I did?"
Mr. Hardy stepped back in fear, even considering kicking Fiona away.
But Fiona was so panicked that she desperately clung to Mr. Hardy as if he was her last straw.
The police couldn't help but look at Penny, seeking confirmation of Mr. Hardy's innocence.
This matter involved many people and took place before many vital figures. They absolutely couldn't afford to be negligent.
Penny raised an eyebrow. "Mr. Hardy, both Ms. Bender and Ms. Foster have mentioned you. Don't you want to come out and explain yourself?"
Mr. Hardy's face turned pale, and he dared not look into Penny's eyes. He lost all his momentum, and finally, his eyes went dark, and he fainted directly.
The police were helpless. But even if Mr. Hardy had fainted, they still had to take him away for questioning.
Fiona was pushed forward, glaring fiercely at Penny.
"You bitch! You're a bitch! I should've killed you back then."
"How could I lose to a student who is nothing?"
Penny allowed them to manipulate her back then, but she had forced them into such a miserable state in just a few short years.
It was silent, and no one spoke.
Countless eyes were on Penny, but she simply sat back down, picked up a glass of water, and then took a sip.
Orlando, who was sitting next to her, frowned slightly. That was his water, and he had just sipped it.
