153 - The chapter where Christian finds out

Christian

Savannah and her friends stood up, looking satisfied with the outcome of that little meeting. All they wanted was to make sure that they would not be involved in that situation and they succeeded.

" So? You can start " Rose took a deep breath with her arms crossed.

" 'We're going to talk in a meeting with the dean,” Savannah said.

" 'That wasn't agreed,” Addison pointed out.

" We haven't agreed on anything yet, Mrs. Miller, and we're just making sure we don't get involved in any of this,” she returned.

It was at that moment that Jack decided to get involved, seeming not to agree with the proposal.

" 'We're not going to guarantee any of this without knowing what you have to say.”

" We can guarantee that Alicia and Audrey are responsible for everything, we will give the names of all those involved and we will tell you in detail everything we have discovered. " Savannah said " we even have message exchanges to prove it.”

Everyone considered that information for a second before Rose decided to speak up.

" 'We'd better go at once,” she sighed.

" We? Are you going with us? " I stared at her.

" Of course!”

" Rose, is this a good idea? People were pretty aggressive with Davis " Jack tried to convince his daughter to stay home.

" And what do you expect? For me to hide here like a cockroach? My time for self-pity is over " she turned her back on us " I'll get dressed and be right back.”

We exchanged a worried glance, but there wasn't much we could do at that point, if Rose was really determined to go, she would. And I hope no one dares to attack her while she's there.

"You know, we're going to need a ride," Savannah said with an unwavering smile on her face, as if nothing much was happening.

"Rose and I are going with the motorcycle," I muttered, not feeling comfortable having anyone else join us on the way.

It wasn't long before Rose was ready, and soon we were following Jack's car towards the campus, she remained silent, clinging to me, and inside I was hoping that no one would notice us, and the time we were going was propitious for that, since everyone would be in class.

Luckily, we found the place empty, and we arrived at the Dean's office, and the secretary soon warned him of our presence as soon as she saw our group approaching so the man first asked to speak to Rose and me, and then agreed to listen to the sorority girls.

I stayed by Rose's side the whole time while Savannah and her friend narrated everything that had happened, since the other girl chose not to accompany us. Rose tried to stand her ground at all times, but often ended up looking away.

" 'So, are you telling me that these girls who participate in Sigma Sigma Beta, set everything up to affect Miss Miller-Campbell? Do you have any proof? " Mr. Fields began.

“Here, I asked Audrey myself yesterday, this is what she told me” Savannah handed her cell phone to the man." There are the conversations, names and everything you need to see. I can send prints to Mr Campbell as well.”

The man spent a few minutes reading the conversation, before stopping, raising his eyes towards me before reading the text aloud.

"Shouldn't I have done that? He deserved it! If you want to act like she's more important than me, then let him have it! I suppose this is referring to Mr. Davis," he remarked, surprising me.

I had no idea what he was talking about, and from Rose's expression as she looked at me, it was news to her too. But soon Savannah cleared everything up.

" No, she meant Liam Van Derr Waal, who is Audrey's ex-boyfriend. They had a big fight a few weeks ago and he said he saw himself marrying Skyller Baker and working with Rose in the future, while Audrey would have no space in his life.

" If he is involved with Miss Baker, why was Miss Campbell targeted?”

" Because no one would believe it if a video of the perfect little Miss Baker surfaced, but Rose... well... she's always been a bit…”

" Slutty," Rose added.

"No offense," Savannah's friend offered a fake smile.

Rose stood up, taking a deep breath and I quickly did as she did, not quite understanding what was going on.

" 'Do you mind if I wait outside? 'I think I've heard all I need to,” she looked away.

" 'Of course, Miss Miller, I'll ask Judy to pour you a cappuccino,' Mr Fields offered her with a sympathetic smile.

I went out with her, guiding her to the seats where I had waited with Jack the day before, sitting down next to her.

" How are you? " I held her hand.

" I don't know. I mean, this whole thing sucks, but at least I have a chance to clear my name, but the big question is, how am I going to prove it?”

" One thing at a time, okay? It's going to be okay " I took her hand, intertwining our fingers before bringing it to my lips.

Rose sighed, offering me a weak smile as she watched me.

"If you keep this up, I'm going to start thinking you're in love with me, Davis," she teased.

"Start to think so? Rose, you had to be sure of that a long time ago, you nutcase, because since the moment you kissed me for the first time I've been completely crazy about you," a half smile appeared on my lips as I looked into her eyes, feeling pleased to see her blush.

Before Rose could answer me, the door to the dean's office opened and the two sorority girls came out, walking towards us with satisfied looks on their faces.

" 'I hope this puts an end to the whole issue with the sorority once and for all, Rose. We never had anything against you. None of you,” Savannah held out an envelope to Rose.

'What's this? " Rose frowned, accepting the envelope.

" 'This will help you prove that they set all this up. I hope you can come to our next party as we will have to show that everything is fine between us. The thing we least want at this time is to have problems with someone," Savannah emphasized.

"We told you that Alicia and Audrey planned the gentian violet bath thing too, your parents are working on all those issues," the other girl warned.

Rose nodded affirmatively. It didn't take long for my girlfriend to open the envelope, frowning as she took a few pictures out of it, looking like prints of moments from the video that had been cut from the edit sent to everyone. The first picture showed a girl who had the same physical features as Rose, but was nowhere near as pretty.

" 'I don't even know who this girl is, why would she do that? " Rose frowned, handing me the photo.

" 'Her name is Cassandra, Audrey promised her that she would become the vice president of the sorority if she agreed to do this, and made sure her face wouldn't show and everyone would believe it was you. That was enough " Savannah explained.

She would be replaced, after all, her friend would not hesitate to take her out of the game just to ensure her revenge, which explains why Savannah did not hesitate for a second to throw them both under the bus.

" Audrey convinced her that she was identical to you, the poor thing believed it.”

Rose kept pulling the pictures out of the envelope, until one made her widen her eyes.

" What the fuck!”

" What? " I frowned.

Rose alternated her gaze between my face and the photo, looking too shocked to speak any words.

" What is it? What's in this picture? " I pulled the paper from her hand.

The blood seemed to flee from my face as soon as my eyes focused on an image that clearly showed Jax O'Donnel's face next to the girl who seemed to be rummaging through Rose's lingerie drawers.

That's when my mind started to process the information that was in front of my eyes, my blood started to boil and I clenched my jaw. That bastard is going to regret ever involving my girlfriend's name in a story like that!
