Return Of The Heiress For Revenge - Chapter 65
Chapter 65: Full Of Debts!
“Lisa help me!” Lisa hesitated for a second. They were not even friends to begin with. While they have known Penny for two years now.
But if the wounds were unreal as Penny said. She inhaled a deep breath and looked at the smallest bandage covering Nora’s ankle.
A small wound covered with medicines came into light.
“Another!” Nora closed her eyes and whispered softly. Suddenly the room fell silent. Everyone looked at Lisa who hesitated for a second before taking off another bandage. This time a long tear came into view. A part of flesh was missing and it looked like a sharp thing had slit her calf. Her uniform skirt only reached her knees so her wounds were visible to everyone.
They all looked vicious. Many grimaced and frowned looking at them.
“Who was so heartless to make such wounds?” asked someone in the crowd and everyone looked away as if the trance was finally broken.
“Tell me who it was? And do not dare to call my name. We both know that you were not with me and I can easily prove it.” she warned only for Nora to sigh and shake her head.
“I jumped off the cliff and got injured. Can we finish this drama now?” She took bandages from Lisa’s hands and sat on the bench. Everyone took a step back and gave her way.
Sitting on the bench, she wrapped those soiled bandages again.
“If the drama is enough. I want to leave.” she looked at Penny who was still raging with anger.
“And you think that I will let you go with the lousy excuse that you fall from the cliff. Where is the cliff in the city? Nora, tell the truth or I will not let you go even in hell.” She warned and ran to Nora but Penny was shocked to see no one gave her way.
They not only blocked her but looked at her coldly as if she was the villain.
“You! You all know me for years. How can you trust her words and question me.” She could not believe them.
“She is lying so that I look bad and you all are falling for her tricks. Our family had taken care of her since she was a child.” Penny boosted with a red face. “She is nothing but a leech and now that she is an adult and has found a few lovers, she is trying to sabotage my family. Don’t you dare take her side.” her face went uglier. The more she thought about it, the more she felt her chest filling with anger. How she wanted to kill Nora herself!
“Wait! Didn’t the company belong to her father originally?” Kelvin, the only student who was sitting on his seat and working on his notes, raised his head and asked.
From the start he was not interested in the drama. It had nothing to do with him. But when he heard about business, his ears perked up and he looked at them with interest.
At the same time, his words brought attention to the whole class. They all turned to look at him.
Nora was among them. From the start, she had only tried to free herself, while not hurting the family directly because she had the debt on her shoulders. They have taken in when she was young and paid for her expenses for all the years. She had made notes of Penny and worked in the kitchen in exchange but that was not enough for the education she had received. Even if it was only to show the world. She had worn good clothes in public and attended a prestigious school, if not, she would have been dumb all her life. Not that she was better in her past life.
“Are you sure about it?” Nora was the first to stand up and ask. She even forgot that her wounds were still visible and one had started bleeding again.
The boy looked at her in surprise.
“You do not know?” he sighed, “your father was the one who owned the company while your uncle was only a ten percent shareholder. But after your father’s death. The company was transferred to your uncle. Though I am not sure about the internal details. My father had told me it was a bloody battle. I am sure he knows more about it.” he shrugged, making Nora blink.
“I was too young when they… they never told me anything about business.” For them she was a young kid who should live a carefree life.
The boy nodded as if he understood her.
“Ha! My uncle had started the company but it was on the verge of bankruptcy when my father took it. There is not a single cent that belonged to him when he died. My father paid my uncle’s debts and took her in. I have proof of it. You have seen them Nora. didn’t you? My father had shown them to you and now you are believing his words as if he knew more than our family.” Nora’s hands clenched into a fist.
Her eyes darkened.
“Yes, and for that I have been your slave for years. Working hard on your notes, preparing study material for you and tutoring you while making sure that I fail. I have been pushed into the corner everytime and that has been enough.
This time I will not accept it anymore.” her voice had a new sharpness. The pressure was enough to frighten a few weak girls who took a step back.
“You.. you are coming back with me now.” Penny gritted her teeth and took out her cell phone. “I am calling my mother. She will handle you well this time.” she warned and dialed the number. Sure that Nora would be scared already. But Nora only snickered and left the class. She did not even wait for the call to connect and the threat to echo in the room.
“Ha! Are you running away because you are finally afraid of your lies?” Although Penny shouted like that, everyone stared at her as if she was a fool!
