The Forgotten Girl Is Back For Revenge

Chapter 22

KS.93%#

Hailey had looked into her mother’s background a long tago. She knew that her mother, Valerie, was actually

the daughter of the prestigious Medrano family in Hallon City. So, she had always been aware of her originis.

Now, Hailey remained completely composed, even pulling out a pack of tissues from her pocket and handing it to

Nicolas.

Nicolas was genuinely surprised, but he wasn’t about to let that excitement cloud his judgment. He still

remembered exactly why he was here.

Nicolas’s expression turned serious as he looked at Luke. “Before | walked in, what were you saying? Whose

scores were you planning to void?”

Luke broke into a cold sweat the moment Nicolas’s sharp gaze landed on him. He replied, “N-no one’s, Mr.

Medrano. You must've misheard”

Nicolas let out a cold chuckle. “Seems like my absence has made you pretty bold, Mr. Stuart. Are you acting like

you're the principal now?”

“N-no, not at all! Mr. Medrano, you've got it all wrong! | never meant that!” Luke forced an awkward smile.

“I won't make this difficult for you, Nicolas said casually. “Since you claim my niece's scores are fake, then you

should have sproof, right? If she really did cheat, | wouldn't cover for her, even as her uncle.”

“It-it was Ms. Lugo who told me, Mr. Medrano. You should ask her. She said Hailey cheated and that Joshua stole

the test answers the night before and leaked them to her. Luke answered, shifting all the blonto Molly.

Molly shot up from her seat, her face going pale with panic.

Nicolas turned to her. “Ms. Lugo, is that true? Do you have solid evidence?”

Of course, Molly didn’t! But since Luke practically ran the disciplinary office, and she had certain... relations with

him, she had assumed her words alone would be enough to deal with a student.

-I'm sorry, Mr. Medrano. It was my mistake. | didn’t have concrete evidence. | made a judgment based solely on

security footage. That was wrong of me.” Molly admitted hastily

At this point, there was no other option but to confess.

Nicolas smirked. “In that case, why don’t we make things right? This afternoon, we'll hold a school-wide

assembly in the auditorium. You'll go on stage and apologize to Hailey in front of everyone.”

Molly froze. An apology in front of the entire school? That would be utterly humiliating. But she didn’t dare

refuse, so she gritted her teeth and nodded.

Behind her, Luke let out a quiet sigh of relief. Good thing he passed the blfast enough.

Nicolas turned to him. “Oh, and Mr. Stuart-you’re not off the hook either.”

Instantly, Luke's expression stiffened.

“Since this is all just a misunderstanding, we'll take our leave now,” Selena said, her voice soft and gentle, her

smile graceful. “I knew my sister would never cheat.”

But everyone in the room saw right through that fake smile.

“Wait a second” Casey spoke up, tilting her head as she looked at Mateo. “Hey, uh... what's your nagain?”

Selena cut in quickly Actually, about that-

“You shut up” Casey mapped She had been spoiled since birth and the had zem patience for people she didier

like

Selena looked at her in shock, completely unable to believe that Casey would speak to her on nutely After all,

she was at

aughtm of the Dalton family too:

“Ahem Nicolas coughed lightly. He seemed to be reprimanding Casey, but his tone was filled with indulgence

“Casey, that's not how you talk to people. Be polite.”

Casey straightened up immediately and put on a sweet, well-mannered smile. She turned to Selena and said

sincerely. “Tin sorry. Ms. Dalton. Please shut up”

Selena was speechless. Hailey crossed her arms, watching Casey with interest. This little cousin is actually kind

of fon, she thought.

“Anyway.” Casey continued, “since the test results are out and even the teachers admitted Hailey didn’t cheat,

don’t you think it’s tto pack up and leave, Mateo!”

Mateo scoffed. “I don’t need you to remind me. | know what | said”

With that. Mateo stormed out of the office. But before leaving, he shot a deep, unreadable glance at Hailey

Hailey had no idea what that look was supposed to mean. Still, everything was settled now. And the best part?

She barely had to do anything. That was a win in her book.

“Alright, Hailey, now that everything's fine, I'm going to get going” Joshua was quick to sense when he was no

longer needed He didn’t want to interrupt this little family reunion.

Once outside, Joshua pulled out his phone and made a call. He said smugly, “Owen, it’s all sorted. You seriously

didn’t need to worry. Hailey is Mr. Medrano’s niece, and you know how protective he is.”

In a sleek, spacious office, Owen stood by the floor-to-ceiling windows, phone in hand. A faint smule played on

his lips. “Gol it. Thanks for looking out for her today. Your new gaming console should already be at your place.”

Joshua let out a tic cheer. “You're the best, man! Owen Forever! Then, he hung up.

On the couch, a man smirked and stretched lazily. “This is the first tI've seen you this invested in a girl. You

even bribed her little sidekick? Dude, you're in deep.”

The man’s nwas Ivan, and he was a very close friend of Owen

Owen walked over and sat down, his

posture relaxed, exuding an efforiess

Owen hummed in response. Ivan clicked his tongue. “Damn. Now I'm curious.

Owen lifted his gaze and shot him a look. “Stay away from her
