Chapter 204,Coolest Girl in Town

Elise cast her gaze at Jacinda. “Was it you who told him?” Jacinda, however, showed no fear underElise’s gaze. “Miss Sinclair, just admit to it already. We are classmates, so there’s no need for you tocontinue hiding it, no? This is not bad news, or perhaps it’s good news to you.” Upon hearing that, Elisesneered. “Are you slandering me?”

“What I said is the truth—you are indeed pregnant.” Jacinda believed that it was the truth and Elise wasclearly lying. “Do you have any evidence?” Elise questioned. “If not, I could sue you for slandering.” Atthat, Jacinda pointed at Elise’s tummy and countered, “This is the evidence.

Mr. Harris, I think that everything will be clear as long as she goes to the hospital to perform anultrasound. However, Miss Sinclair, are you willing to go?” “To be honest, I don’t really want to go, but itseems like you want me to, Miss Kate,” Elise murmured with a chuckle, to which Jacinda taunted, “Ha!I think that it is you who does not have the courage to go! If you are really pregnant, admit it now infront of the teacher so that we can settle this privately.

Everything can still be discussed. However, if you insist on your claim, nobody can tell what will happenonce the matter escalates.” Elise looked straight at the homeroom teacher. “Mr. Harris, I think that thisis a misunderstanding. I’m not pregnant, so there’s no need to do any checkup at the hospital.” Uponhearing that, Jacinda thought that Elise didn’t dare to go to the hospital. Since things had come to thispoint, she couldn’t care less and shouted, as if she was standing up for justice, “No, Mr. Harris! If shedoesn’t go, we will be unable to give an explanation to the others.

How could you let her off the hook and allow her to ruin the school’s reputation just because of heroutstanding results?” Mr. Harris pursed his lips, inwardly agreeing with Jacinda as he thought that she

had a point. First of all, he had faith in Elise, but since the rumors had been spreading like wildfire inthe school, allowing it to continue to spread not only would affect Elise but also the school’s reputation.Hence, in his opinion, revealing the truth to the public would be the only way to debunk the rumor.

“Miss Sinclair, I suggest that you come with me to the hospital. Since the truth will speak for itself, Ithink that there’s no harm in making this trip.” Elise gave it some thought and replied, “Mr. Harris, I’vesaid that I’m not pregnant, but I don’t mind making this trip. However, if it’s proven that I’m indeedinnocent, how will you deal with this student who maliciously slandered me and harmed myreputation?” Mr. Harris understood her underlying meaning.

As Elise was a student with a potential that he hadn’t encountered for years, he naturally sided withher, so he directly answered, “If it is proven that you are indeed innocent, which also proves thatsomeone has made up the rumors and kicked up this fuss, I’ll make sure justice is upholded. Today,one of you two will have to be expelled from the school.” Jacinda was shocked by his declaration. Inother words, there was no turning back after this. If she continued on with this accusation, she wouldbe putting her own future at stake. Initially, she had a hard time using her connections to transfer intothis school, so she definitely wouldn’t want to leave after attending for barely a few days.

She balled her fists, suddenly feeling that it wasn’t worthwhile risking her future because of this. “Mr.Harris, I think… maybe we should just… forget about it.” As soon as she said that, the door wassuddenly opened and Alexander was seen elegantly marching into the office. The moment he steppedinto the office, the atmosphere in the spacious office abruptly changed. All the teachers present knewwho Alexander was and were aware about his identity—he was the most important person in Athesea,a man who nobody dared to offend. “Forget it?

Who gave you the power to say such shameless words?” Alexander spoke in a seemingly calm butcold voice, which instantly made Jacinda pale. “Y-Y-Young Master Alex, I-I-I—” she stuttered, not evenable to say a complete sentence. Without sparing her a glance, Alexander walked up to Elise and puthis arm around her shoulder, which made it rather obvious who he sided with. Even Mr. Harris couldn’t

help but to wipe the sweat on his forehead. “Young Master Alex, what brings you here?” Alexandergently answered, “Someone is bullying my fiancée, so I came to stand up for her.”

His words instantly enlightened Mr. Harris. “Young Master Alex, you must have misunderstood. Ourschool promotes unity, so something like that can’t possibly happen,” he responded and he couldn’t bebothered by the sweat on his forehead anymore. Upon hearing that, Alexander darted a cold glare atJacinda. “Are you the one who started the rumor?” His attention on her caused her to feel an invisiblepressure building up, which actually deprived her the ability to breathe. “I-I-I—” To make matters worse,Mr. Harris directly chimed in, “Miss Kate here was the one who came to me to report that Miss Sinclairis pregnant.

Personally, I doubt that an excellent student like Elise would do such a thing, but I have theresponsibility to stop the rumors from continuing circulating. Therefore, Young Master Alex, I feel thatthere’s a need for Miss Sinclair to cooperate with us in order for the truth to be revealed.” Alexanderturned to Elise, who was in his arms, and gave her a comforting gaze. “What kind of evidence do youneed? What she said is the truth.” Mr. Harris nodded repeatedly at that. “Yes, I agree with you, YoungMaster Alex. My consideration in this matter wasn’t comprehensive enough.

I’ll figure out a way to deal with the inconvenience that Miss Sinclair is facing because of this incident.”At that moment, Elise suddenly tugged at the corner of Alexander’s shirt and interrupted in a smallvoice, “I’ll deal with this situation myself.” “You want to deal with it yourself?” Alexander’s tone revealedhis fondness toward her as the corner of his lips curved upward into a smile. Elise hummed inresponse. Thereafter, he whispered into her ear in a voice so low that only both of them could hear,“Don’t worry. I’m here to stand up for you.

You are free to do whatever you want and I’ll back you up no matter what happens.” Elise broke into asmile upon hearing that and her eyes shined as bright as stars as she looked at him. “Thank you.” Afterthat, she turned to face Jacinda. In a split second, the smile on her face disappeared and was replaced

by immense coldness. “You are the one who started the rumors, right?” Her words sent chills downJacinda’s spine, but the latter steeled herself and didn’t say a word. “It doesn’t matter if you refuse toadmit it,” Elise added. “I’m aware that that’s the truth, anyway.

You deliberately spread the rumor in the school and harmed my reputation. I don’t like to nitpick, but Ilive by the principle of ‘an eye for an eye’. Besides, I prefer that you understand how you will fall.”Jacinda staggered backward and nearly fell. Ashlyn’s words inadvertently started to echo in her ears—her cousin had warned her that Elise was not someone who was easy to deal with and she shouldnever underestimate her. Nonetheless, there was no turning back for her at that moment. “W-What areyou going to do?” Elise raised an eyebrow.

“Didn’t you spread a rumor that I’m pregnant?” “It isn’t a rumor. You are indeed pregnant,” Jacindaanxiously snapped. However, the moment she said that, she could see Alexander’s expression sinkwhen he heard that as he stood off to one side. Elise scoffed, “Very well. You insisted on youraccusation, at least. If that’s the case, things will be much simpler. As a matter of fact, it’s quite easy tomake things clear, but I don’t intend to let things slide. Mr. Harris, what do you say?”

As the homeroom teacher, Mr. Harris had to take a fair stand, so he replied, “You’re right, Miss Sinclair.After the truth is revealed, if Miss Kate has indeed committed slander and defamation, we will definitelynot condone such behavior.” At that point, Jacinda could feel her back drenched in sweat. The rumorhad been born solely from her speculation, but judging from how Elise reacted, Jacinda’s own futuremight be at risk.

“Mr. Harris, I-I think we can just drop this! It was an unintentional mistake. I’m sorry, Miss Sinclair. Ireally am!” “If an apology could solve a problem, why do we even need the police?” Elise counteredindifferently. “Do you think that you don’t need to pay a price for your actions just because you are aminor?” This time, Jacinda was completely defeated. It was a crushing loss even in terms of hermorale. “What do you want, then?”
