Flash Marriage: A Wife For A Stranger

Marie wanted to retort but was stopped by the headmaster.

He frowned, glanced around the crowd and finally fixed his eyes on Victoria.

“Victoria, tell me about what’s going on.”

Victoria told him everything in detail.

With so many people present, she said it objectively and fairly. She didn’t exaggerate or lie.

Shew frowned after he heard all of those.

“So, Annie, is it correct that, you think, Zoe stole the original draft of your design five years ago and tonight she wanted to shake her crime and then frame you again, so you sent Marie here to steal the draft back. Am I right?”

Annie was stunned.

After a while, she took a deep breath.

She knew that it was useless to argue at this time.

She could only say, “I admit that I did unintentionally mention it to her before. My sister took away my original draft and might use it to frame me, but I didn’t ask her to steal it back for me.”

“I didn’t expect her to do that tonight. If I had known it earlier, I wouldn’t have agreed.”

The headmaster raised his hand and interrupted her.

He turned to look at Zoe and asked, “What about you? What’s your explanation?”

Zoe sneered.

“You said I’ve stolen your original draft… Annie, tell me, when did I steal it?”

Annie frowned.

“How do I know?”

“You don’t even know it yourself. Why do you tell others so casually to frame me?”

Annie was stunned.

After a while, she took another deep breath and suddenly showed a smile.

“Okay, let’s just take it as my fault and I wronged you this time. I apologize to you here. But it was you who did it five years ago, wasn’t it! I was just worried that you would frame me by all means as before because of what happened in the past. I was a little sensitive. Is it also my fault to be too sensitive?”

Annie said with a smug smile.

Even if Zoe forced Marie to say that she had stepped into the relationship between Zoe and Steven, so what?

In the world of love, the one who was not loved was the one who stepped in!

After all, now she understood.

Obviously, what Zoe had said to her in the banquet hall was just to deceive her.

Huh! She had already destroyed that original draft. There was no original draft in the world!

As long as she held on to what happened five years ago, no matter how capable Zoe was, it would be impossible for her to turn the tables.

As expected, the people’s gossip around them changed again.

“It’s reasonable. If I was set up like this before, I would also be worried. It’s normal for Annie to suspect Zoe.”

“Is this called post-traumatic stress disorder?”

“What’s wrong with this family? It’s getting more and more chaotic.”

Hearing this, even the headmaster frowned.

He also knew what happened that year, but after so many years, nobody should remember this already!

However, he didn’t say anything. He just glanced at Zoe.

With a smile at the corners of her mouth, Zoe said slowly word by word, “I remember that I have never said that it was me five years ago.”

There was a moment of silence.

It seemed that the onlookers needed time to get the meaning of her words.

Annie’s face darkened.Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

Zoe repeated in a low voice, “I’ve never said that I stole Annie’s work and knocked her out in order to take her place to get admission

to the Royal College of Art, right?”

The crowd burst into an uproar.

What did she mean?

Five years had passed, and everyone knew that she had done it.

But now…

Everyone was stunned and then realized that what she said seemed to be true.

Five years ago, the news spread like wildfire. Everyone in the two schools knew that Zoe had stolen Annie’s work and knocked her out in order to get admission to the Royal College of Art.

However, the protagonist of the matter had never appeared to speak.

Since Zoe was taken away at the examination center, she had never shown up in public, let alone to admit or explain anything.

In the past, everyone thought that she didn’t dare to speak out of shame.

But when they thought about it now, they also felt something was wrong.

No matter how ashamed Zoe was, she couldn’t hide forever.

There should have been news about her later!

But it was strange that since that day, there was no information about Zoe, as if Zoe had disappeared from the world.

What… What happened exactly!

Looking at the surprised and curious eyes of the people around her, Zoe slowly said word by word, “Five years ago, I didn’t have the chance to tell the truth. Five years later, today, I won’t allow myself to be wronged and insulted again. I swore to my dead mother that I would take back everything that had been taken away from me, and those who had slandered me should take back all the slanders on me. If they don’t, I will force them to kneel in public, and explain the truth to everyone!”

She glanced at the people in front of her coldly and harshly. Her voice was sonorous and powerful.

Everyone was shocked by her imposing manner. It seemed that she had made up her mind to figure out the truth.

Some of them even looked at her with admiration.

Oh my God! It was so imposing!

The more they listened, the more they felt that what she said might be true.

After all, without really being slandered so much, she couldn’t have such cold and resolute eyes, nor could she say such imposing and powerful words!

Some of the onlookers had quietly begun to believe Zoe.

Annie said angrily, “What do you mean?”

Zoe sneered.

“I mean, it wasn’t me who stole the work, but you! It was also you who framed me, not the other way around! You’re just a vicious woman who envied your sister’s talent and used the self-injury trick to set me up! You didn’t want me to get anything that you were never able to get!”

Everyone was shocked.

“What? Do you mean that it was Annie who set you up?”

Someone couldn’t help asking.

Zoe nodded.

“The day before the exam, she accidentally found that my work was better than hers, so the next morning, she deliberately broke her head

and stole the original draft in my computer. Then she called the school and falsely accused me of stealing. In this way, everyone would think that I stole her work, and she, a poor girl who has been injured by her own sister and missed the precious chance to get admitted to the Royal College of Arts would easily get sympathy from everyone. Am I right?”

Annie’s face turned pale.

She shook her head repeatedly, but Steven beside her just frowned.

“Zoe, Annieis not that kind of person…”

“Shut up!”

Zoe shouted coldly, “She’s not that kind of person, so I am, huh? She wouldn’t hurt her sister and frame her sister, so I could hurt my sister and steal her work, huh? Steven Anderson! Open your eyes wide and see clearly. It was not me who sneaked into my room today and wanted to steal the draft in the laptop. It was Marie! As for the relationship between Marie and Annie, you know much more about that than me!”
