“He indeed mentioned it to me,” Emilio recalled, though he quickly denied, “But I didn’t do anything about it.”
Peter smirked, “Such minor issues usually wouldn’t concern me directly. However, since Elizabeth asked, of course, I paid attention. Didn’t she tell you about it?”
Upon hearing this, Ray’s brows furrowed in deep thought.
Elizabeth had never mentioned this before. That morning, when he had praised Linda, Elizabeth hadn’t countered.
It was indeed her accomplishment, but they thought it was Linda’s. She must have felt left out, right?
But why didn’t she speak up? Was she afraid they wouldn’t believe her?
Ray felt a pang of unease. Elizabeth was too understanding.
So, was it Linda who lied, or was it Ben trying to save face by deceiving Linda?
Moreover, Ray instinctively rejected the idea that Linda would lie. After all, he had watched her grow up and believed he knew her well.
Even if she did lie, under normal circumstances, he would just admonish her, advising her against such actions in the future.
However, now that Elizabeth was involved, he owed her an explanation.
Snapping back to the present, Ray thanked Peter, “Thank you, President
Berney, for informing me about this. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have known
Elizabeth contributed.”
Peter was quite upright and didn’t stir up any scandals. His character could be guaranteed. Since he said he treated Elizabeth as a sister, Mr. Wilson didn’t think too much about it.
He even felt a bit proud, thinking that his daughter was quite popular.
“Mr. Wilson should thank Elizabeth; it was her who asked me for this.”
Peter then shifted the conversation, “Mr. Wilson, have you been following the
Sunny Heights High School forum lately?”
“I don’t usually look at such things,” Ray replied, puzzled by Peter’s sudden interest in the topic.
Peter hinted, “Really? I suggest you take a look when you have time. You might learn more about Elizabeth’s life at school. There could be unexpected surprises.”
Without lingering, Peter stepped into the elevator and left.
His main intention for the visit was to remind Sir. Wilson that the project was a favor from the Boss and had nothing to do with that innocent-looking stupid Linda.
As for mentioning the forum, that was his personal decision.
Given the Boss’s character, she definitely wouldn’t share her school experiences with Sir and Lady Wilson. Thus, they might never learn about the slander she had to endure, which was done deliberately by others.
Even though most of the issues were resolved, Peter remained irritated. Why did the family do nothing, yet still believed they treated her well?
After leaving the Surge Real Estate Company, Ray sat in his car, pondering the implications of Peter’s words.
He could learn about Elizabeth’s school life directly from her or through Linda.
Previously, Jack had told him that according to Linda, Elizabeth was doing well in school. Although there were some conflicts with a few students, they were resolved with Linda’s assistance.
So, Ray hadn’t asked Elizabeth directly.
Now, considering everything…
Ray decided to pull out his phone and search for the Sunny Heights Campus Forum.
It didn’t take long for him to find it.
Unbeknownst to Ray, Peter had purposefully bumped up posts about Elizabeth to the top, waiting for Ray to see.
Upon entering, Ray immediately noticed three posts.
The first claimed Elizabeth got in because of her donation for a new Laboratory Building.
The second accused her of cheating to secure the top rank.
And the third suggested she was responsible for losing Ben’s book.
Ray’s face darkened with each title he read. He clicked on one of the posts.
The comments below were filled with doubts and verbal attacks directed at Elizabeth.
Ray’s grip on his phone tightened as his face turned even grimmer..
