chapter812

Silvia could barely contain herself. Her anger shot straight to the top of her head and she glared at Lydia. "Lydia, is that really how you talk to me?"

Lydia looked completely unimpressed. "If you want respect, you have to give it first."

Silvia's glare only grew hotter, but Lydia simply turned away from her and faced the two police officers instead.

"Sandy followed me around, took secret photos, and made up stories about me. She kept buying new phone numbers so she could post videos and photos on the forum to trash my reputation. I have all the proof I need. If she doesn't post a public apology on the school forum, I'll put the evidence out there myself and take her to court." Lydia's voice was icy cold and it sent a shiver through Sandy.

Lydia wasn't messing around. She was ready to ruin Sandy's name for good.

Despicable!

"Oh, and just so you know," Lydia said, her voice sharp, I can also get the school forum switched to real names only. Then everyone can see exactly what kind of person Sandy is. Let's see who still wants to be her friend after that."

"You..." Silvia was shaking with frustration.

Lydia was just too much!

Did she really think being the top scorer in the country gave her the right to do whatever she wanted? Did she think she could get away with anything just because the school supported her?

"Lydia, can't you show a little mercy? Sandy already apologized to you in front of us. She even got down on her knees at lunch. Do you really have to destroy her reputation?"

Lydia let out a cold laugh. "Funny how she was so bold when she was smearing me, but now she can't take responsibility? I'm only asking for a public apology on the school forum, not for everyone in the country to see. You don't need to speak for her. Sandy, this is your decision. You have five minutes."

Lydia didn't give Silvia any respect at all, and Silvia felt like her authority as a counselor meant nothing in front of this girl.

Sandy knew Lydia well enough by now to realize this wasn't just an empty threat. After everything that had happened, she was sure Lydia meant every word. If she refused to apologize on the forum, Lydia could make the real name system happen, post all the evidence, and even call in the law. If that happened, Sandy would never have a chance to clear her name.

She still wanted to learn from Miracle Hands. If Lydia destroyed her reputation, there's no way she'd ever be accepted as a student.

Lydia was ruthless.

Sandy tried to look scared, letting

her bod

sag and her face go pale

She forced herself to look pitiful and

hurt, hoping for some sympathy, and it just made Silvia even angrier.

Lydia was seriously crossing the line.

"Fine. Since I have no other options, I'll do what you want. I'll apologize to you on

the school forum," Sandy said, her voice trembling.

Lydia just scoffed. Don't act like I'm bullying you. You sure didn't look this sad when you were hiding behind your keyboard."

One of the police officers gave Sandy a look. Let's not drag this out. Write your apology and post it on the forum. Then we'll be done here."

Sandy pulled out her phone, tears in her eyes. Lydia's voice cut through, cold as ever. "Make sure it's sincere, or I won't accept it. Don't make things harder for yourself."

Sandy clenched her teeth so hard she wanted to bite through bone. She hated Lydia

with every fiber of her being.

Ten minutes later, the school forum erupted again.

A signed apology letter spread through Capital Med School like wildfire and even made its way to other top universities.

To Lydia:

I'm sorry. Out of jealousy, I made up rumors about you and posted them on the school forum, trying to hurt your reputation...
