Chapter 75
"I can finally get through now," Remington said.
"Yeah, yeah," Natalie replied absentmindedly.
"You'll have to answer if I call."
"Depends on my mood. I'm going now, see you." Upon finishing that, Natalie headed to class.
After arriving in her class, Sebastian gave her some snacks and desserts.
In fact, he only gave some to her and not to Yvonne.
Natalie felt that she was very lucky recently. Someone was dropping her off to class and another was bringing her delicious snacks.
However, she did not read too much into it.
Although Remington denied it, she was sure that Remington's goal was to suck up to Tobias. Therefore, he was trying to get her to put in a good word with Tobias.
Otherwise, who would make so much effort to get to know her and fetch her to class?
As for Sebastian, she had always treated him as a good friend.
"Sebastian, you shouldn't bring snacks for me after this," Natalie said.
She knew that Sebastian did not come from a wealthy family and buying these snacks must have cost him a lot of money. Sebastian only smiled in response.
At the same time, Natalie sensed that someone was casting strange glances at them.
Sebastian felt the same and he immediately turned over his shoulder.
The two students immediately looked away.
Queenie and Kimberly entered the classroom.
Kimberly looked languid while Queenie seemed cheerful.
Natalie was not sure if she was just thinking too much but she felt that something was off. Why did people keep casting strange looks at her?
She even heard someone whispering behind her back. "She looked so innocent but it turns out that she's a sl*t."
"They said they were just friends but in reality, they are a shameless couple," another added.
"No wonder they looked so close. No wonder he's bringing her snacks every day."
Natalie was confused by what she heard.
It was not until noon that Natalie finally understood what was going on.
Sebastian fought with someone. Natalie could not believe it when Yvonne came to tell her.
Sebastian was very gentle and harmless.
He always left Natalie with that impression.
Sebastian was a gentleman. He would only blush whenever she cracked a stupid joke with him. Why would a guy like Sebastian fight with someone else?
Natalie and Yvonne hurried over to where Sebastian was.
It seemed that the fight just ended. Sebastian's face was covered in dust and there were patches of bloodstains on his face.
The same could be said about the other guy.
"You can insult me but you can't insult Natalie!" It was rare to see Sebastian so livid!
The guy spat on the ground and retorted, "When did I ever insult you? She's a wh*re and you're a b*stard. You're so shameless, so why are you feigning innocence?"
Sebastian's face was brick red from anger. He wanted to rush forward again.
Yvonne and Natalie stopped Sebastian hurriedly.
Sebastian was always gentle and soft. How could he win in a fight?
"Hey, what's wrong with you? What are you talking about?" Yvonne stepped forward and shouted.
"What am I talking about?" The guy sneered as he took out his mobile phone.
Sebastian wanted to pull Natalie away. "Let's go. You don't have to see those horrible things."
Natalie was not going to back off. She heard a lot of rumors earlier but she did not understand what was going on.
She broke free from Sebastian away and walked
over. Her face turned pale instantly.
"What's going on..." Natalie pointed at the screen of the guy's mobile phone.
Yvonne approached Natalie to have a look and then she immediately flushed.
"When... When did you guys do that behind my back?" Yvonne's eyes widened.
"Yvonne, why are you spewing nonsense too?" Sebastian was ashamed and infuriated. "Can't you tell that the photo was Photoshopped?"
Yvonne suppressed her shame and stared at the photo. At last, she discovered that there was something wrong with the photo.
Whoever edited the photo was skilled. If Yvonne never saw the original photo, she would probably believe it.
However, Yvonne had seen the original photo.
Back then, the three of them went hiking together and they took a lot of photos.
The fake photo was edited from those photos.
Someone had copied Natalie's head and Sebastian's head and pasted them on a photo of a naked couple.
Yvonne grabbed the mobile phone and threw it on the ground. "Are you stupid? Can't you see that this was Photoshopped?"
The guy's blood was boiling from exasperation after his mobile phone was smashed. However, Yvonne was a girl and he could not hit her even if he wanted to. He glared at Yvonne and ran away.
"Natalie, I..." Sebastian did not know what to say. He stuttered for a long time and finally managed to say, "It's all fake, so don't take it to heart."
Natalie nodded. She was never afraid in the first place because she did not do it. Why should she be afraid?
However, who would edit the photo and spread it around?
It suddenly dawned on Natalie.
Queenie!
Queenie stole her mobile phone and there were photos of her, Sebastian and Yvonne in it!
Did Queenie do it?
Natalie could not help but clench her fists.
The three of them thought that the photos were fake and the matter would die down soon.
However, things were not as simple as they thought.
First, the photo looked real and it was enough to make anyone believe it.
Furthermore, Sebastian was being too nice to Natalie recently. It must be suspicious to the others that he was bringing Natalie snacks and chocolates every day.
Yvonne regretted her actions. "It's all my fault. It's all my fault. I was the one who encouraged Sebastian to do that. Otherwise, he wouldn't have aroused any suspicion." Sebastian was quiet as he lowered his head.
In fact, he did not do it because Yvonne incited him. He wanted to do it a long time ago but he was embarrassed to do it. After Yvonne encouraged him, he mustered up his courage to do it. Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
However, he never expected that that would become a weapon for others to frame Natalie and him.
Initially, Yvonne and Sebastian thought that Natalie had lost herself in her fantasies about Tobias.
Yvonne pondered about it and came to the conclusion that Natalie was just desperate for a boyfriend.
If there was a guy who cared about Natalie, she might not act like that anymore.
Therefore, she taught Sebastian what he should do. Who knew it would end up in this mess?
Natalie was at a loss for words after hearing Yvonne's explanation.
No wonder Sebastian was behaving strangely. It turned out that Yvonne was behind it.
Natalie immediately went to look for Queenie.
"Did you do it?" Natalie thought that only Queenie would do something like that.
Queenie snorted, "Why should I tell you, b*tch?"
Natalie took a deep breath and replied, "You can hurt me all you want. I'm already used to it since you've been bullying me since we were little. However, don't drag innocent people into this. It's really disgusting." Queenie sneered, "Disgusting? Wouldn't you be the same, Natalie? Or do you think that you're not disgusting for seducing Tobias?"
"Watch your mouth! I never seduced Tobias. If you didn't try to make me sleep with that idiot, Tobias wouldn't end up helping me." Natalie glared at Queenie coldly.
"Oh my, do you really think that Tobias is helping you?" Queenie reacted like she just heard something funny. "Who do you think you are? There are countless girls out there who are more beautiful than you, Natalie. I'm so much prettier than you. Why should he help you?"
Upon recalling that, Queenie gnashed her teeth resentfully.
