Chapter 535 I Am the Sister of a Scoundrel
The lights were just coming on.
After Evelyn and Edward met up with William, the three of them rushed back to Mugden as fast as they could.
The whole way, William kept calling Jennifer until finally, her phone was completely turned off.
"Jennifer... why won't you answer my calls... Jennifer!" William was frantic, muttering to himself in a daze.
"William, don't panic."
Edward looked at William's bloodshot eyes through the rearview mirror, his tone gentle. "I've already sent Bart with people to look for Jennifer at her school. We'll be in Mugden in half an hour, and we'll drive straight to Mugden Film Academy."
Evelyn clutched her clothes tightly, her smooth forehead covered in cold sweat as she anxiously mumbled with trembling lips, "Edward, I really regret it now... I shouldn't have lost my temper with Jennifer."
"Evelyn, don't say that."
Edward quickly pulled her into his arms, holding her tightly. "Jennifer isn't the type to be unreasonable, and you two grew up together. She knows how much you care about her, doesn't she? She must know you were just worried about her."
"But Edward... I'm still so scared."
"Don't be afraid, I'm here. We'll find Jennifer together." Edward patted her comfortingly, his emotions somewhat complicated.
On one hand, he was very worried about Jennifer's sudden disappearance. On the other hand, he really enjoyed and loved the feeling of Evelyn depending on him, needing him, softly leaning on him.
Even though he knew that Evelyn from the Taylor family was more capable than several tough men, he still hoped she could rely on him once in a while.
He was perfectly fine keeping a low profile and being the man behind Evelyn.
He didn't care what others said about him. He just wanted to be useful to her, to show his worth as a man to the fullest.
To avoid drawing too much attention, the luxury car stopped at the back gate.
Soon, Bart came running out, drenched in sweat.
"Mr. Wellington, Mrs. Wellington! We searched the entire school and asked the dorm supervisor, who personally went to Miss Taylor's room to look for her, but we couldn't find Miss Taylor!"
All three of their hearts sank!
"And I checked the surveillance cameras around the school - there's no sign of Miss Taylor at all!"
That meant Jennifer had lied. She never went back to school at all.
The seriousness of the situation suddenly escalated!
"We should call the police!" William could barely hold his emotions together, his voice shaking.
"But... you have to be missing for 24 hours before they can open a case!" Bart was also extremely anxious.
Evelyn frowned deeply and immediately took out her phone to call Peter.
"Evelyn, what's wrong?"
"Peter! We've lost contact with Jennifer. She would never not answer our calls or contact us. Can you help find out where she is?" Evelyn knew it wasn't time to file a report yet, but she was worried about Jennifer and couldn't think about that now.
"Lost contact? How could that be!"
Peter was stunned and couldn't help making an ill-timed joke. "Then who was the Jennifer I saw two hours ago? It couldn't have been a ghost."
Everyone was shocked, "You saw Jennifer?"
"Yes, Jennifer came to the police station to see me."
Peter paused, then decided to tell them. "Evelyn, Jennifer came to see me today to file a report, accusing Randy of attempted rape."
"What? Why didn't you tell us earlier!" Evelyn nearly blacked out.
Edward and William heard it clearly, too.
Especially William - he clenched his fists so tightly it was as if he was gripping his violently beating heart!
"Evelyn, don't get upset!"
"How can I not be upset? She came to file a report, and you just let her? What if this gets out? What if the media starts making things up, or someone with bad intentions uses this?"
"Evelyn, don't worry. When Jennifer came to file the report, I handled everything personally. I just talked with her for a bit, had her give her statement, and then let her go. This was just two hours ago. As for losing contact, I don't think that's the case. It's only been a short time - maybe her phone just died." Peter quickly tried to reassure her optimistically.
"Peter, you're being way too calm about this!" Evelyn said in frustration, holding her forehead.
Edward's sharp jawline tensed.
His mind was racing, thinking about what to do next, when a few female students walked out from the back gate of the school, scrolling on their phones and having a heated discussion. Their mocking voices drifted over,
"Oh my god, am I seeing this right? Isn't this Jennifer from our school's acting department? She's actually doing a livestream accusing Randy of raping her!"
Those words hit Evelyn, Edward, and William like a thunderbolt!
William's face instantly turned deathly pale, his body trembling as he staggered back half a step.
"This Jennifer is already like the campus beauty and a total attention seeker at our school. It's only been a few days since graduation, and she can't stand not being in the spotlight anymore? She wants attention that badly?"
"Oh, please~ She's the smart one here. Once she gets enough followers, she'll become a big internet celebrity, and then she can make tons of money livestreaming. Maybe some producer will notice her and cast her in something, and she'll go straight into the entertainment industry! That's called taking a shortcut, you know?"
"Hmph! Shortcut? I think she's too clever for her own good and is going to get burned!"
One of the girls with big, wavy hair made no effort to hide her jealousy and contempt for Jennifer, her mouth twisted in disgust. "She should know her place. How dare she try to frame Randy from the Alexander Group!
She's doing this livestream, saying Randy raped her just to ride on his fame."
"What? She's trying to get attention from this? That's so shameless!"
"Exactly! Jennifer must be desperate to be famous! A girl's reputation is so important - doesn't she care about her dignity?"
The girl with big waves sneered, "Any publicity is good publicity, and this is the fastest way to get famous. But of all people, why did Jennifer have to mess with Randy from the Alexander family? She's doing this livestream about this - isn't she deliberately provoking the Alexander family? Do you think the Alexander family will just let her get away with this?"
Another girl chimed in gleefully, "If you ask me, even if something did happen between Jennifer and Randy, she probably started it! I bet she didn't get paid enough, so now she's livestreaming to get revenge!"
Their mocking laughter was insulting and unbearable to hear!
"Damn it! Those awful bitches! How dare they talk about Miss Taylor like that!" Bart's fists clenched so hard they cracked!
Edward's brows furrowed, his deep eyes surging with rage, like a brewing storm.
William's eyes were already filled with extreme hatred. Even though they were just female students, he couldn't hold back anymore. His hard muscles bulged frighteningly under his suit, the veins on the back of his hands ready to burst!
Just as the two men were about to act, a figure moved with lightning speed, faster than either of them. Sharp high heels clicked out a fierce rhythm as she walked straight toward those girls.
The girls were still laughing when they looked up to see Evelyn standing in front of them with an expressionless face. Her powerful, intimidating presence instantly silenced them!
"You... you're..."
Evelyn swung her slender arm and landed two slaps across the face of the girl who had insulted Jennifer!
The girl froze for a few seconds, then burst into tears!
The other girls were stunned - it happened so suddenly they couldn't even process it!
But the girl with big waves did process it. She took two steps back and tried to run.
But Evelyn's reflexes were incredible - she grabbed her by the hair and yanked her back!
"Ahh! Let go... let go!"
The girl with big waves felt like her scalp was tearing. She was forced to turn around, and before she could even steady herself, she took four slaps to the face!
The hits left her ears ringing and seeing stars.
The other girls huddled together, trembling. The speed was so terrifying that they could barely follow it.
Though they were just slaps, they all felt like this incredibly beautiful woman was trying to beat someone to death!
Evelyn's beautiful eyes showed no emotion as she suddenly let go.
The girl with big waves crashed into the iron gate with a thud and fell to the ground in a heap.
"Is that... is that Evelyn?"
"It looks like... it seems like..."
"How could it be her... how..."
Evelyn elegantly dusted off her reddened hands and looked coldly at the foul-mouthed girl. Her crimson lips curved into a smile. "Let me introduce myself. My name is Evelyn, and I'm the older sister of that 'trashy bitch' Jennifer you were talking about."
