?Chapter 259:


    “And you?” she said. “Aren’t you supposed to be down on one knee for Miss Miller right about now?”


    The mention of the proposal made Kristopher’s brow furrow. He had no desire to revisit the absurdity of the evening’s events. Scoffing, he turned to walk away.


    “Wait!” Belinda called sharply. “I overheard you mention the Physical Education Department of Nawrin University… What’s that about?”


    It wasn’t that she was overly curious, but she knew all too well that Kristopher’s life shouldn’t intersect with college students or their PE departments. The only connection she could think of was Fred.


    “You don’t know?” Kristopher sneered. “Haven’t you seen his antics online?”


    Stunned, Belinda pulled out her phone and began searching online, brow furrowed. “What’s going on with Fred?” she murmured. Kristopher noticed the flicker of panic on her face, a barely perceptible hint of relief crossing his features. It seemed that the turmoil online had nothing to do with her.


    Just then, his phone rang again. After a brief conversation, he ended the call and fixed Belinda with a cold stare.<fnf25d> Read full story at f?ndnovel</fnf25d>


    “My team has traced the IP addresses behind the news. One leads to a dormitory at Nawrin University, the other to the PE department training grounds there.”


    Without another word, he turned and walked away briskly.


    Belinda remained still, staring at her phone in disbelief. The news was unexpected. Fred had revealed everything about Cathy hiring people to smear Belinda’s reputation online.


    Now,izens were unleashing a storm of insults at Cathy. The negativements,bined with today’s humiliating video from the birthday party, had propelled Cathy to the top of the trending searches.


    Belinda knew she should feel victorious, yet recalling Kristopher’s earlier words, her heart sank. Happiness was the furthest thing from her mind.


    Fred’s impulsiveness andck of experience were ringly obvious! Belinda and Fred had organized these documents together, but she refrained from sharing them online. Her intention was to present the evidence to awyer to initiate a defamationwsuit against Cathy. However, the premature release of these materials online wouldn’t strengthen her legal case; it could backfire and incite Kristopher instead. Within just thirty minutes of the information going live, Kristopher had already discovered Fred’s involvement.

    What would Kristopher do to defend Cathy? Belinda shuddered at the thought.


    At that moment, Cyril’s call came through again. “Miss Nelson, have you arrived yet?”


    Taking a deep breath, Belinda replied, “Yes, I’m here.”


    “Head up to the eighth floor using the rear stairs from the first floor. It’s really urgent,” Cyril stressed, his tone filled with urgency. “My client’s boyfriend has shown up. If you don’t hurry, I can’t keep up the act much longer.”


    Without wasting any more time, Belinda swiftly ascended to the eighth floor as instructed.


    When she reached the eighth floor, she hadn’t even stepped out of the stairwell before a furious voice greeted her. “Forget about thepany for now. Mr. Cox won’t let the person who wronged Cathy go without consequences. He’s determined to uncover the instigator and deliver harsh punishment! How dare anyone cross Cathy? They’re practically signing their own death warrant!”
