Chapter 77: Chapter 77: I Found the Evidence
Translator: Inschain Editor: Inschain
Jack cast another glance at the expressionless Elizabeth, sensing a faint coldness in her eyes.
At that moment, he regretted jumping to conclusions too quickly.
Had he made a mistake? Would Elizabeth think he doubted her again?
Bitterness filled Jack’s mouth, and he was at a loss for words.
Seeing the awkwardness, Frank quickly intervened, “We called the parents for another matter.”
“It was because she threw my book in the trash,” Ben blurted out.
Jack furrowed his brows, asking Elizabeth, “What’s going on?”
With her beautiful dark eyes, she replied indifferently, “It has nothing to do with me.”
Jack insisted, “You heard her. It has nothing to do with my sister.”
Even though he had several misunderstandings about Elizabeth in the past, he would always prioritize the reputation of the Wilson family.
Before Frank could speak, Ben interjected, “That can’t be. She doesn’t have an alibi.”
“Did you see it with your own eyes?” Jack’s intimidating aura intensified when he was serious.
Ben, still a young student with little experience, was already nervous knowing that this was Linda’s brother. Now, he was even more petrified.
Frank sighed internally.
How could one threaten a student in front of a teacher? Just then, a voice echoed, “Hello, I am Ben’s cousin.”
A tall, handsome man in a black suit entered the room.
Seeing his savior, Ben exclaimed, “Bro, you have a Ph.D. in psychology, right? Help me expose her lies.”
The man’s face turned sour, and he snapped, “Little girl, you, you, you…” He paused, his eyes wide.
He stared at Elizabeth in disbelief, even pinching his thigh surreptitiously.
After confirming that he wasn’t dreaming, he nearly prostrated himself, shouting inwardly, “Professor Lawrence, I was wrong! I shouldn’t have been rude to you! Please, don’t punish me!”
Elizabeth raised an eyebrow, recognizing the man.
Wasn’t this Thomas Harrison?
She had encountered him on a flight to Metro City.
So, he was Ben’s cousin!
Elizabeth glanced between Ben and Thomas, her gaze slightly disdainful.
Thomas felt like fainting.
He must’ve been marked for doom.
“A nightmare, be gone!” He silently prayed.
Ben persisted, “Bro, can you hypnotize her? Make her tell the truth.”
“Hypnotize my foot! ”
Thomas smacked Ben on the back of his head. Not only did Ben look stunned, but Frank was also taken aback.
Jack frowned, puzzled by the sudden change in Thomas’s demeanor.
“Miss…”
Catching Elizabeth’s stern gaze, Thomas quickly changed his tone, nervously saying, “I apologize. This kid can be thoughtless, even more so today.”
The idea that Professor Lawrence would throw away a book was laughable.
Even if she were to throw herself away, she’d never disrespect a book.
Ben was in shock.
Whose side was his cousin on?
Elizabeth responded coolly, “His book has nothing to do with me.”
“Of course, absolutely,” Thomas eagerly agreed.
“Okay,” Elizabeth nodded in satisfaction, turning to a perplexed Frank, “The truth is out.”
Frank was speechless. What was wrong with Ben’s family?
Ben felt that Thomas was behaving oddly today. Why was he treating Elizabeth like royalty?
Elizabeth paid them no mind.
She appeared deep in thought, then finally nodded with confidence, “I found the evidence..”
