Chapter 58 - Cruel Lady
Chapter 58 – Cruel Lady
Edward burst out laughing at Sarah's unreasonable explanation, he really did not think that the girl he had been dating for several weeks turned out to be a stupid girl who was easily influenced by others. After laughing for almost a minute Edward then walked over to Sarah, sticking his hand in his trouser pocket.
After standing in front of Sarah, Edward then began to tell what really happened in the classroom from start to finish. He even asked some of his friends who were also in the class to share their information. After hearing the same story from 10 people, Sarah was speechless, she did not dare to raise her face to just look at Edward who was standing in front of her. Shame and guilt attacked her from the inside instantly when she found out that she had been fooled by someone.
"You are not a child anymore, Sarah. You should not let others easily influence you like that. Can't you confirm the truth beforehand from other people before you accept the information that you just got? If things got this messy, me, Anne, or whoever gave the information to you are not the one who will suffer, you are the one who will suffer the most. You are the one who is at a disadvantage in this case. You let others used you like a puppet and the butt of the joke because of your ignorance," said Edward coldly closing his words.
"Hiksss hikkssss … sorry, I'm sorry Edward. I'm sorry. I feel guilty because I can be easily influenced by others like this. I'm doing this because I love you so much, Edward. I'm afraid of losing you, that's why I don't think twice before I did what I've done," replied Sarah while sobbing.
"What you did was not a proof of love, Sarah. It was foolishness. It's purely your foolishness and enormous arrogance. You should be able to tell what's right and what's wrong because you're not a child anymore," said Edward back.
"Yes, Edward, I'm sorry. I'm really sorry …"
"Don't apologize to me, apologies to Anne because you've accused her carelessly and she has become a victim of your stupid actions. Look at her, she's soaking wet because of your action," said Edward quickly interrupting Sarah's words.
Sarah immediately went silent after hearing Edward's words, she did not expect that Edward would ask her to apologize to Anne, who she hated so much. Even though she had heard what really happened in the classroom earlier, her jealousy towards Anne had not gone away. She still did not accept the treatment Anne got from her lover, in which Edward had to defend her in front of her friends in class. Furthermore, she also should witness her boyfriend defended Anne instead of her.
"Never mind, don't make it such a big deal. This is clearly just a misunderstanding, so I don't think Sarah needs to apologize to me. I don't feel angry with her either," said Anne slowly, suddenly opening her mouth.
"But Anne, she poured water on you like that. Sarah must apologize to you," said Edward back.
"She doesn't need to apologize to me, Edward. I have forgiven her so let's just pretend nothing happens," said Anne quickly, she wanted to end this debate and hurry back to the apartment.
"I agree with Edward, Anne. That woman must apologize to you first. Her action was really beyond the limit," added Linda slowly trying to convince Anne.
"Stop it, Linda. I don't want to argue anymore," said Anne in a half-whisper voice.
Edward, who heard Anne's words, admired the girl even more. He did not expect that Anne would be this forgiving and wanted to solve the problem right away without making a scene. Not long after that, he then turned to Sarah, who was still standing behind him without saying a word.
"Can't you see how good Anne is to you? Take this incident as a valuable lesson for you, Sarah. You have to confirm the news you have heard before believing it, don't let yourself become a victim of a hoax and become a criminal like what you did earlier," said Edward, staring at Sarah without blinking.
"Yes, Edward. I was wrong, I'm sorry. I promise you I won't do it again, I'm really afraid of losing you so I did it," Sarah replied quickly.
"Well, since the problem has been resolved, I must go now. It feels very uncomfortable standing in wet clothes like this. I think both of you should just solve your personal problems privately. I will excuse myself," said Anne suddenly.
After saying that, Anne then let go of Linda's hand which was still lodged in her arm, she then walked to the parking area because she suddenly felt cold. Anne also got a headache after being doused with ice water right on her head so suddenly in broad daylight. Everyone in the cafeteria could only watch as Anne walked away from the canteen, including Linda and Edward who were still staring at her as she walked away to her car.
Not long after that, Anne's sedan left the campus area and headed for the highway quickly, all the students in the cafeteria then dispersed. Linda decided to return to the classroom to continue her next class alone since Anne wanted to go home and skipped her class. Meanwhile, Edward was seen pulling Sarah's hand away from the canteen as soon as Anne got into her car. He wanted to settle his business privately with Sarah elsewhere.
"You're lucky Marianne, it turns out that Edward came on time. But I want to see, how much luck you have on this campus. The only one who can be the center of attention is me, Isabella Alexa Gordon," said Isabella quietly from behind the hideout, she had been enjoying the riot in the canteen.
