She Outshines Them All

She Outshines 258

Chapter 258 Athena had been on the phone with Ryan all the way. So, Ryan could hear everything Brandon said in the car. Brandon’s voice was cold, ruthless, and murderous. “Elsie was Zayn’s high school classmate. At that time, Zayn was the class monitor, and Elsie was the cheerleader. They interacted quite often because of work. “Not long after the first semester of the second year started, Elsie told Zayn that the school bully, Ben, often waited for her at the school gate after she left the study hall and badgered her to liang out with him. Sometimes, Ben even made a move on her. Elsie said she was scared. So she asked Zayn if he could escort her home at night. Zayn agreed.” Athena asked as she drove, “Isn’t Kitmore High School a boarding school? Why didn’t Zayn and Elsie stay in school apartments!” Brandon said. “Kitmore High School is near the neighborhood where we used to live. The academic atmosphere at Kitmore High School wasn’t good then, and puppy love was everywhere. Elsie’s mother, Kerise, was afraid that she would fall in love at a young age and didn’t allow her to stay in school Moreover, Elsie’s home was not far from the school. She could reach by bicycle in seven to eight minutes, so she didn’t sleep in the school apartment. “Zayn didn’t live in the school apartment because the boys’ dormitory in Kitmore High School was noisy. They often had conflicts. Zayn didn’t want his studies to be affected, so he chose to go home to sleep. Athena asked Lagain, “Wasn’t Elsie’s mother worried that something bad would happen to Elsie on her way home at night?” Zayn said, “Kerise is a single mother. It’s said she worked long hours every day and had a difficult life. Elsie couldn’t bear to make Kerise worry, so she never told Kerise about these things. It wasn’t hard to imagine what happened afterward. On the night of the incident, Ben and the other three boys had drunk. It was late at night, and no one else was around, so they stopped Zayn and Elsie, insisting that Elsie go to the bar with them.

Otherwise, they would not let Zayn and Elsie pass) Zayn stood in front of them and let Elsie go past first. His actions angered Ben. Ben took out a knife and stabbed Zayn, Zayn’s arm was injured, and he wanted to snatch the knife from Ben. In the end, it was just as he said. This matter had caused a sensation then. Initially, Elsie told the truth, stating that Zayn had acted bravely to save her. “As the person involved, as long as Elsie told the truth, Zayn would be fine.” Brandon’s sharp face looked even more fierce and malicious. “However, we never expected her to change her words in just two days. She said Zayn had a crush on her and kept badgering her. She lied that Zayn confessed his love for her, but she rejected him. Hence, Zayn was irritated and vented his anger at Ben, the victim. “She also said that Zayn had secretly threatened her. She lied earlier because she was afraid.” It was melodramatic. However, it was so dramatic because there were too many cases like that in real life. Athena asked, “Is Ben’s family rich? Brandon nodded. “His family is quite wealthy and has some powerful connections. Otherwise, he couldn’t do whatever he wanted in school. “Of course, our family wouldn’t accept such slander. We called the police and let them investigate this case.” “The area of Kitmore High School belongs to the old town. There were no surveillance cameras on the road where the accident happened, and no one else was present at the time of the crime. Elsie’s change of statement put Zayn in a passive position. There was no way for Zayn to defend himself.” 1/8 76%1 Sun, Oct 20 Chapter 258 Brandon’s tone became even colder. Jaden and 1 secretly investigated and discovered the families

of Ben and the other three guys had bribed Kerise and given her 100 thousand dollars, Kerise then instructed Elsie to change her words. “Of the 400 thousand dollars, Ben’s family paid 210 thousand dollars. Two of the families gave 70 thousand dollars each. The poorest one paid 20 thousand dollars. “Ben’s family paid so much money because Ben was already twenty. If the police determined it was Ben’s responsibility, he might leave a criminal record “Other than the poorest boy under fourteen, the other two perpetrators were over fourteen. They were afraid of having criminal records.” When Athena heard that, she glanced at Brandon. “You’re a top computer science student. Did you use some special method to get the money that Ben’s family and the others transferred to Kerise?* If that was the case. Brandon could not make it public. Otherwise, he would be in trouble. Brandon did not hide anything. “Yes” “Ben’s family and the others were afraid that Kerise would take the money and refuse to admit it, so they transferred the sum to a few relatives and let them transfer it to Kerise’s account as evidence that Kerise had received the money. That was how it gave me something to work with. “After Grandpa and Grandma heard about what happened to Zayn, they didn’t believe Zayn would do such a thing. They went to the school and talked to the education department, the police, the court, etc. They asked for a public and fair investigation of the case to restore the truth. “Ben’s family and the others also did everything they could to pressure the school and find the media to expose the accident. to defame Zayn.” Brandon looked at Athena. “Athena, I won’t hide it from you. “No matter what, our family is still distinguished. Grandpa and Grandma have some connections, but they rarely use them. The case had blown up, and someone backed our family up behind the scenes. With the evidence I secretly showed, Ben and the others chose to stop. They said they had drunk too much and couldn’t remember how the two of them got stabbed by the knife. “Elsie also said it was relatively dark around. A few boys were fighting, but she actually couldn’t see who took out the knife and who was the first to injure the other.

“Zayn was naturally unconvinced by this result but couldn’t prove his innocence. He would be at a disadvantage if he insisted on pursuing the matter. “We told him we couldn’t do anything to Ben and the others because we had no money or power and that it wouldn’t be too late to clear our name when we stood out and had the strength to compete with Ben’s family. Just like that, Zayn remained silent and transferred to Yocreak High School. This case was left unsettled and not recorded” Brandon sighed softly. This accident made Zayn determined to join the army. He entered the service in his second year at university. “We all thought he was trying to prove to everyone that he’s not bad person in this Athena nodded silently. “Do you still remember the names of Ben’s three accomplices?” “Yeah, sure, I do, Brandon said without hesitation. “Ben York, nickname, Bulldozer. “Paul Reese, nickname, Big Paul. 2/3 9×76 12:35 Sun, Oct 20 tis. Chapter 258 Tadeo Sawyer, nickname, Tough-T “Stefan Watson, nickname. Ace.” Athena nodded and said into the phone. “Ryan, do you know what to do next?” Ryan’s arrogant and lazy voice sounded. “Don’t worry. It’s just a small case. I’ll make these people suffer a crushing defeat and regret their actions.” Athena said, “Good. Deal with it immediately.” She hung up the phone and looked at Brandon. “Zayn’s movie has just been released. We can’t let this case affect the movie reputation and box office. Let Ryan handle it quickly. What do you think?” Athena thought, I believe Jaden, Brandon, and Zayn can handle it. But I have a lawyer and connections on my side. Why n use them? Besides, this injustice has been going on for eight years. It should have ended long ago. C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

Brandon nodded. “We’ll do as you say Athena glanced at him again. “Brandon, tell me the truth. What else did you do to Ben and the others?” Brandon looked out of the window and laughed. “Sure enough, I can’t hide it from you.” A ruthless expression appeared on his face. “After Zayn transferred to Yocreak High School, I worked with Jaden and plotted against Ben several times. We’ve beaten him up and made him beg for mercy. “I also broke two of his fingers and sent him a death notice in the name of the underworld, telling him he wouldn’t live to take his SAT. “Ben was scared out of his wits. He transferred to another school the next semester. The other three s*****gs were affected by Ben and transferred schools one after another.” Athena nodded in admiration. “Well done.” 的
