Chapter 45 Just Wait for the Lawsuit

Book:The Reborn Wife Published:2024-5-1

Mia committed suicide and was now unconscious at the hospital.
Apparently, before her suicide, she left a note on social media, accusing Layla of bullying her. She said that Layla was backed by someone powerful.
She actually went directly to accuse Layla!
“Elena, what can I do?” Layla hid the entire morning at the dorm. She didn’t dare to go out.
“Have you had your lunch?” Elena knew that in her state, she might not have drunk a mouthful of water.
True enough, Layla shook her head.
It was past lunchtime, and she could only order a take out for her.
She pulled over a chair and sat facing Layla, looking at her pale face.
“I had no time to ask you about what happened last night. Why did you walk to the pier on your own?”
“I saw you!” Layla now knew that she had seen wrongly and misidentified.
“I don’t know if it was arranged by those people. After the accident, I saw two men dragging you to the pier.”
“And you ran over on your own?”
Elena didn’t know to pity her for being stupid, or scold her for being an idiot!
“Wasn’t I talking to you over the phone? How could I be dragged by someone?”
This girl! Doesn’t she have the ability to think?
“I…” Layla thought for a while, and her face began to blush in red, “Yeah… yeah, come to think of it…”
At that moment, she was talking to Elena over the phone, how could she have seen Elena and ran over?
Layla felt so stupid! Perhaps she was dazed after the accident?
“But now, what should I do?”
She’s just an ordinary student, and apart from reading news on the internet, she didn’t have any other means of getting news about Mia.
“How could Mia commit suicide? She was so in love with herself.”
Elena pursed her lips and thought deeply.
Layla could only look and wait for her responses.
Elena suddenly said, “I didn’t suspect Mia over last night’s incident. But from the looks of it, she could well be the mastermind.”
“What? Do you mean to say that Mia instructed those men to kidnap me?”
Layla was shocked and couldn’t believe it!
“But how can there be so much hatred between us? I only laughed at her several times at the Phoenix Hotel.”
Just a few jokes, and she wanted to kidnap a person over that? Isn’t she too petty?
“Even then, how much did she have to pay to kidnap me? How could that stingy Mia be willing to spend so much money to do something that doesn’t benefit herself?”
This sentence made Elena frown again. A few matters became clearer to her now.
Layla surely doesn’t know that those men’s actual objective was to interfere with her marriage.
But what Layla said was true, how could Mia spend so much to kidnap Layla?
Unless this incident had nothing to do with Mia?
“Layla!” a series of footsteps, and thereafter someone knocked on the door.
Elena and Layla exchanged looks. Layla wiped her tears and went to open the door.
Once the door was opened, a woman dashed inside.
The woman pointed at Layla and said angrily, “Layla, you’re too much! You actually forced someone to kill herself, how can you be so evil?”
“Exactly, Mia is still at the hospital. You must go over and kneel down to seek her forgiveness!” Another woman said.
Someone else pointed at her and yelled, “Layla, you’re inhumane.”
“If Mia really died, will you be able to live with yourself?”
“Layla, who is your mastermind? Are you with someone rich?”
“It’s bound to be an old rich man!”
“What are you talking about? Don’t wrongly accuse me!” Layla was furious, but she didn’t know how to retaliate.
The few women surrounded her. Some people outside looked on curiously, and no one helped.
Layla was frightened till she started to tremble, she didn’t know how to defend herself.
Someone moved forward to push her.
Instead, Elena grabbed her hand and pushed her back.
“Elena, how dare you to touch me?” That woman looked clearly at her before replying in a deep voice, “Ugly creature, do you want to die?”
“Do you want to do this in school? I already informed the students, and the disciplinarian will soon arrive. Fight, I dare you!”
Though the university is not ranked first among the universities, it’s not far from second.
If they started to fight, she would be suspended by the school. Their school is very strict about this.
That woman was Fanny, and she was studying a different subject from Elena.
She pointed to Layla, “Layla did such a thing, we…”
“Excuse me, what did Layla do?”
“She forced Mia to commit suicide!”
“Then tell me, what did she do?” Elena stepped forward, staring at Fanny’s face, “When, where, what did she do, and what did she say? Tell me!”
Who could guess, the usual weak and ugly Elena could get so firm and fierce!
Being stared and asked by her, even Fanny stepped backward two steps.
“She… she…” What Layla did wasn’t written clearly by Mia in her suicide note.
Mia only said that she was bullied by someone who loved to put on thick makeup and liked to hang out with the ugly Garcia girl.
Those who knew Mia knew that she and Elena couldn’t get along.
Then the person she described could be no one other than Layla.
At the university, no one else was willing to hang out with Elena.
“You all don’t have any evidence to prove that Layla bullied Mia. And just because Mia wrote it down, you blame Layla for the suicide!”
Elena moved forward another step. Fanny backed off two steps. She was almost out of the room.
The people looked at Elena’s freckled face argue logically.
Fanny regained her balance.
She retorted, “She caused such a big issue, will the Hill family pardon her? Layla, just wait for the lawsuit! Perhaps you may have to spend half of your life locked up!”
They were in school, and they cannot do anything physical. So the few of them continued to curse and laughed coldly as they left.
Elena closed the door with a thud. She turned around and looked at Layla who sat trembling in a corner.
If Mia really died, the Hill family will come for her!
Though the Hill family wasn’t a first-rate family, they were still influential in Bentson City.
As an ordinary student, how can she handle it?
“Elena.” She hugged Elena’s arm, her voice trembling, “Will I… will I end up in jail?”
