From Nun to Real Heiress: Expert at Turning the Tables

Chapter 1018: 477 Clarification_3 Chapter 1018: 477 Clarification_3 It was too late for Belleann Hutton to run.

She was pinned to the ground by two police officers.

She shrieked, “This is a misunderstanding!

You’re turning me into a scapegoat, and you’re in cahoots with Aubree.

Is there no justice left in the world?

I won’t surrender…”.

Connie retorted coldly, “Dead ducks don’t drown; since school couldn’t teach you, I suppose the law will have to.”

Her words commanded such authority that the crowd retreated wherever her gaze swept.

...

The solemnity of the police forced everyone to step back.

Xenia Groove sensed the situation turning unfavorable, lowered her hat brim, and prepared to escape.

Just then, her wrist was abruptly grabbed by someone.

Startled, she snapped, “What are you doing?”

A young man had seized her hand.

He shouted, “Officer, she’s the one who started the rumor!

She’s the main culprit!

Don’t let her get away.”

With a swish, all eyes turned toward Xenia Groove who wished the earth would open up and swallow her.

She struggled desperately to break free, but to no avail.

“You’re out of your mind.

Let go of me!” she yelled.

The young man confidently answered, “Professor Linggo was right.

You’re nothing but a band of flies lurking in the gutters, thriving in chaos, spreading lies and smearing reputations for amusement, simply to satisfy your ridiculous jealousy.

Only the law can save you.

It’s time for you to repent in prison.”

Connie dashed over with her team, recognizing the masked, capped figure at one glance.

She had encountered this person before, at Granny Groove’s banquet.

The once precious daughter of The Grooves, now reviled by all.

Connie admired her persistence in causing trouble despite her dire situation.

“Let’s go, Ms.

Groove.

Oh, I should call you Ms.

Hayes now.”

Belleann Hutton, who was under police custody, whipped her head around.

“You lied to me.

You’re not Jolene Eaton?”

While Xenia was still struggling, Connie placed her hand on her shoulder.

“Levina Hayes, stop struggling, it’s futile.

Come with me to the police station.”

Belleann Hutton momentarily froze.

“Levina Hayes?”

Realizing something, her voice turned shrill, “So you’re Xenia Groove, you fraud!

We’ve all been deceived by you!”

Seeing the situation was beyond help, Xenia ceased struggling, hanging her head like a deflated ball.

Belleann Hutton signaled, and two officers came over, each one holding an arm of Xenia.

Connie glanced at the young man with approving eyes.

“Well done.”

“Ah Qiang,” Belleann Hutton turned back to him, sobbing.

The young man didn’t even spare her a glance as he said to Connie, “I just couldn’t stand watching them smear people.”

“Also, they have a group called the Anti-Aubree Alliance.

The Levina Hayes who was just here is the group owner.

Please make sure to punish them severely, or they will harm more people in the future.”

Connie, smiling, patted his shoulder.

“Thanks for your trust and support for the police force.”

In the crowd, the leading troublemakers had all been apprehended by the police, and the others naturally quieted down.

The live broadcast on TV continued.

Tabitha Parker was gobsmacked.

“How could this be?

Didn’t Aubree really commit murder?” Her tone was filled with doubt.

A young man standing next to her shot her an unfriendly glare upon hearing her words.

Tabitha Parker was terrified to the point that her heart pounded wildly.

These people were like weather vanes, swaying with the wind.

Charlotte Aria tucked a stray hair strand behind her ear and said softly, “I had been saying that Aubree is not that kind of person.

She has been misunderstood by everyone.”

The young man finally softened his gaze at her words.

Tabitha Parker made a face and didn’t dare to utter another word.

After experiencing this slander, the public felt nothing but deep sorrow for Aubree.

Her prestige would rise even further.

They didn’t know whether those spreading the rumors were tarnishing or helping Aubree.

Simultaneously, hashtags such as #Aubree’sNameCleared#FeelForAubree#AubreeDidNotKill#AubreeIsAnEarthlyAngel were trending on the internet with comments pouring in overwhelmingly.

Some bad-faith actors still tried to stir up controversy, even directing the accusations at Professor Vincent Linggo.

But the netizens would no longer be fooled this time.

Professor Vincent Linggo was their guiding star; if his words could not be trusted, then there was no one left to trust in this world.

The majority possess the ability to distinguish right from wrong.

Upon revisiting the rumors, they crumbled under the least scrutiny.

The paradise of the trolls made the public even more sympathetic towards Aubree’s patience.

She hadn’t even tried to defend herself, just silently bearing all the harm done to her.

Now that the truth was revealed, the hashtag #ApologiesToAubree topped the trending list.

On the television, Professor Linggo continued, “Of course, clearing Ms.

Aubree’s name today is secondary.

The main objective of today’s press conference is to announce a significant archaeological discovery that transports us three hundred years back to the Great Dynasty.

Let’s experience the ups and downs of that mysterious era together.”
