Chapter 281 Yet Another Exposure
Finished
While Waverly was doing her utmost to help Mindy clean up the aftermath, the embarrassing incident at the jewelry store, where she had made a spectacle of herself, had been exposed.
There were pictures and videos showing everyone the undeniable truth.
Just like the rumors about Raylee, these were disseminated across the campus network as well.
However, the person who posted the content had used encryption and didn’t mention any names, but the incident was indeed true, so Waverly didn’t even have the chance to deny it.
She, the campus belle, had become a laughingstock at school. They mocked her for overestimating her abilities, for inflating her own importance, and for insisting on keeping up appearances even if it meant suffering severe consequences.
Unable to bear the ridicule from everyone, Waverly allegedly suffered from a bout of depression, fell ill, and was confined to her home.
She lay weakly in bed, tears streaming down her face as she recounted the events of that fateful day to the Goodridge family. Naturally, she embellished the tale, adding her own dramatic flair to the story.
Upon hearing this, a few people were instantly filled with rage.
Fury blazed intensely in Samuel’s eyes as he exclaimed, “Raylee again! I knew it! I was certain she’d find a way to retaliate after she returned. She’s like a thorn in our side that won’t go away! The post that ruined your reputation must have been her doing as well. Don’t worry; I’ll confront her tomorrow and seek justice for you!”
Waverly sobbed uncontrollably. “I don’t have any proof to confirm that it was Raylee who sent it, and I did indeed embarrass the Goodridge family at the jewelry store that day… Right now, Casimir is being quite distant toward me, and my future mother–in–law is particularly disdainful of me. She openly declared that I would have a hard time in the Sutherland family in the future. I can’t bear to be on campus, either. I can’t find the courage to keep on living anymore…”
She had mastered the art of playing the victim to perfection.
Sure enough, aside from Alaric, both Harriet and Samuel were incredibly anxious.
Harriet quickly reassured her, saying, “Wavy, we’ve sheltered you too much over the years, resulting in your lack of understanding about the etiquette of high society. That’s my fault. From now on, I’ll teach you more about how to be a wife in a prestigious family. Put everything else aside for now. The most important thing right now is Mrs. Sutherland’s birthday gift. I’ve given you three hundred million, so put some serious thought into it. Plan a surprise for her that will truly win her heart over again. But remember, you are a daughter of the Goodridge family, so you must carry yourself with pride, and never allow yourself to be demeaned!”
Waverly simply couldn’t bring herself to admit that the three hundred million had already been paid to Raylee as compensation for spreading false rumors.
She had no choice but to reluctantly nod in agreement.
Alaric, on the other hand, looked utterly disappointed that she wasn’t living up to her potential.
“You can’t blame Raylee for this. If anyone is to blame, it’s you for acting foolishly! It’s good that Raylee taught vou a lesson. That way von won’t embarrass vourself in more significant situations in the future

Your mother is right. What you need to do now is regain your dignity in the Sutherland family”
** Finished
After giving it some thought, Alaric said, “I’ll organize a charity sale in your name. Gather everything you no longer need, sell them off, and donate all the proceeds to the impoverished mountain regions. A charity auction not only allows you to regain your honor with the Sutherland family, but also everyone else. This way, you can return to campus without being ridiculed anymore.”
Instantly, Waverly’s eyes lit up as if she had been revived from the dead. “Thank you, Daddy!”
Waverly sent out the charity sale invitations to the members of the student council, as well as to some classmates who were well–off.
These individuals held significant influence within the school. They had the capacity to promote her and salvage her reputation after the charity sale had concluded.
Halston had also received an invitation.
He then enthusiastically invited Raylee to be his dance partner.
Initially, Raylee had intended to refuse. However, upon reconsidering, she found the idea of the real heiress of the Goodridge family being associated with charity rather incongruous.
I’d be letting everyone down if I didn’t stir up some trouble!
She immediately agreed to Halston’s request and said, “I will definitely dress up for the occasion. I won’t let you down!”
With a lingering sense of fear, Halston cautioned,
“Whether you embarrass me or not comes second. Just don’t bomb the charity sale, okay? Everything else is negotiable! Last time, I tried my best to cover up the situation, but Mr. Goodridge still showed up at my house anyway. I almost got beaten up!”
