She Became Rich After Divorce

Chapter 255: Rumors and Gossip

It was just past 8 AM in the classroom. Everyone was chatting in groups of two or three, watching as a slender and delicate figure slowly walked in from the doorway. The mocking smiles on their faces grew even stronger.

"How does she have the nerve to come to class?"

"Who knows, maybe her skin is just that thick!"

"If it were me, I would transfer schools so I wouldn't embarrass myself..."

The rumors continued to circulate around Kate as she clenched her fists tightly under her long- sleeved shirt. She glared back fiercely with reddened eyes.

"If you have something to say, say it to my face!"

Finally, some of them shut up.

Kate had a vague memory of the skinny monkey-like man from last night - he was a senior in the computer science department next door.

Suddenly there was a loud bang as someone kicked open the door to their classroom. Everyone inside jumped at once.

Kate stood at the doorway with fierce eyes scanning for that man's figure from last night. Sure enough, he wore a red plaid shirt and quickly looked away when he saw her before lowering his head.

"What are you doing here?" The teacher who was lecturing scolded her angrily.

But Kate ignored him and marched straight towards Timothy while grabbing his collar with her small hand and dragging him out forcefully.

"You! Come with me!" Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

Timothy thought she had called the police and immediately begged for forgiveness. "Kate, please forgive me! I know what happened last night was wrong. Hit me if you want."

Last night's incident? Kate couldn't help but think about all those rumors circulating around the school today...

Everyone's gaze towards Kate and Timothy became more meaningful than ever before - although Kate may be old-fashioned sometimes; there was no denying that she had an attractive figure which made this disgusting skinny guy like Timothy seem like such an opportunist!

He shouldn't have mentioned anything about last night because now it only fueled more anger within Kate. "You bastard! How dare you ask for my forgiveness!"

Before he could finish speaking, she lifted up one foot wearing pointed high heels and kicked him hard on his shin bone!

"Ah!" Timothy screeched...

Everyone watched as Timothy lay on ground begging for mercy while remaining silent themselves - they never expected sweet-tempered gentle-looking Kate would be so ruthless when fighting back against bullies!

One should never underestimate any woman, as even those who appear gentle on the surface have the potential to turn into fierce tigresses in a split second.

"What are you arguing about? Can't you solve your trivial matters privately and not affect the teaching order?"

On stage, teacher Hannah Irwin is wearing a black professional suit skirt, walking with high heels and arms crossed.

Her beautiful face was full of sarcasm as she looked at Kate. "I never would have guessed that you were the type of person who lacks self-control. As a female student, how can you be so reckless with your behavior?"

"I got drunk that night and I don't even know what happened exactly. He damaged my reputation for no reason. Is it wrong for me to confront him?"

As Kate spoke, a hint of panic flashed in Hannah's eyes. "What nonsense are you talking about? My students would never do something like that."

"Hmph, fine. Let's meet in court then. We need to get to the bottom of this."

As soon as Timothy heard the word "court", his face changed and he immediately explained, "Kate, please calm down. Last night was really not what you think. I just hugged you and then got beaten up by someone. I really didn't do anything..."

He was just the scapegoat.

Last night, he couldn't approach Kate and was almost killed by that man.

When he went out, he got beaten up again.

Wasn't it him last night?

Kate and Hannah stood in place, both looking confused.

"Not you? Then what about this note..."

She pulled out a note from her pocket, with grand and imposing handwriting on it.

Timothy gasped in pain and took the note, looking at it with a twisted expression before shouting, "This isn't my handwriting! My writing is here. Look!"

Kate looked at the signature on Timothy's document, which was not ugly but far less impressive than the one on the note.

Wasn't that him last night?

Who was that again?

"Madam, you have really misunderstood me. Hiss, it hurts so much..." His face is now bruised and swollen, and even speaking causes him pain.

Kate folded the note and walked over to his side, softening her voice and smiling slightly as she said, "I see."

"Yeah, yeah. I swear that I really only hugged you once. Look at what you've done to me by hitting me like this. Do you know how much the medical expenses for this will be?"

Timothy covered his face, and a glint of greed shone in his eyes.

"How many pieces do you want?"

Kate, with her rosy lips tightly bitten, looked at him with misty, almond-shaped eyes and asked in a soft voice.

This unintentional move sparked another idea in Timothy's mind. He swallowed hard and said, "If it were anyone else, I wouldn't give up so easily. But for Kate, well... let's make it five hundred

dollars."

"Five hundred? You better catch it!" Kate replied, her almond-shaped eyes narrowing with a mischievous glint. She didn't hesitate and delivered a resounding slap to his cheek.

Timothy was left in disbelief, looking at her with a somewhat plaintive tone, "Why did you hit me again?"

"Didn't you say it was five hundred? We've only got one so far, there are still four hundred and ninety-nine to go. Don't rush it," she said, her smile incredibly sweet as she playfully threatened to slap him again.

"Don't... don't hit me anymore. I don't want it anymore. The medical expenses... were all a joke. Missy, please let me go."

In his panic, Timothy crawled over to Hannah's feet and grabbed onto her ankle with his hand. "Ms. Irwin," he pleaded desperately while trying to catch his breath between words, "please help me explain it all to Kate; last night ... umm."

Before he could finish speaking though, Hannah covered up his mouth with her hand.

She gave Kate a cold look before saying softly, "Since it wasn't him after all, you shouldn't be too harsh on him either. Look at what has happened now. Let's get some people here quickly and take Timothy away for medical attention."

Just because it wasn't him means everything is okay now? The thought of being hugged by such an disgusting person made Kate feel extremely uncomfortable inside.

Seeing that Kate still had the intention of pursuing the matter further, Hannah became impatient as well. She softened up a bit before saying, "Kate, you should go back home for some rest these few days. Come back next Monday for class. That's settled then."

After finishing speaking, Hannah helped Timothy up, and hurriedly left with both of them. Other onlookers gradually dispersed as well. Kate was left standing there silently, wondering who that person from last night really was.

She could only vaguely remember that he had whispered something into her ear, but couldn't quite make out what exactly he had said.

A stranger took her virginity, which really frustrated her.
