NovelEnglishWith that, Sadie quickly turned to summon the other two girls who had cwith Victoria, and they all departed the scene with heavy hearts.
As the event neared its conclusion, Scarlett suddenly remembered Victoria and her clique.
She looked around and saw no trace of them.
Anxious, she approached Hannah and inquired, "Ms.
Moore, did Victoria and her friends really leave?" Hannah, seemingly unsurprised by Victoria's absence, reassured her, "Yes, your confrontation with her is off.
She won't be troubling you anymore.
" Scarlett's eyes widened in surprise as she pondered Hannah's tactics.
"Ms.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMoore, how did you manage to dissuade her from the bet?" Being careful not to disclose her acquaintance with Pierson, Hannah fabricated a plausible explanation on the spot.
"I had a look at Pierson's schedule and realized he's tied up with commitments here in Valmere.
It's unlikely he'd risk his reputation for a minor dispute, even with a company he's working with.
I figured he'd most likely not show, which is why I gave you an assurance," Hannah explained. Scarlett was taken aback, her expression one of disbelief.
"Really?" "That's the situation," Hannah replied with a shrug.
Scarlett blinked, struggling to align this reality with Hannah's fanciful explanation.
Wasn't it supposed to be like she had imagined, where Ms.
Moore and the celebrity were acquaintances, and the celebrity would swoop in to save the day? Noticing that Scarlett was daydreaming, Hannah playfully tapped her on the forehead, bringing her back to reality.
"Snap out of it, what are you imagining?" Scarlett covered her head and stuck out her tongue, looking a bit sheepish.
"I really wasn't thinking about anything... honestly!" Hannah gave her sadvice.
"Let's forget about this ordeal.
If you see Victoria at school, it's best not to mention this incident to avoid provoking her.
"I have no desire to provoke her, but it's strange, she loses her temper whenever your ncomes up, Ms.
Moore.
She can't stop slandering you!" Scarlett responded.
"Don't listen to such nonsense.
I doubt she'll trouble you again," Hannah reassured her.
"Alright, I'll take your advice, Ms.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMoore!" With the matter settled, Hannah watched the students head back to school and then called Dotson to pick her up.
While she waited, her phone rang.
It was Maloney on the other end.
As she answered, Maloney's voice cthrough clearly, "You were right.
The leaker is dodging a meeting.
I pushed them by threatening not to buy the patent unless professionals ке were there to explain it.
I also said that if the patent is om authentic, I will raise my offer to buy it Given Clive's influence, they didn't suspect a thing.
Driven by greed, they've agreed to meet tomorrow evening at the Rising Bar.
They had walked into the trap easily, without even a hint of caution.
"I've got it.
Once I find out who's behind this, I'll make sure our entire institute comes to see who this person really is!" Hannah responded.
