Chapter 187
Elva’s heart sank, and from an unseen angle, Glenda flashed a provocative smile at Ophelia.
Ophelia narrowed her eyes coldly and was about to speak when Winford suddenly grabbed her hand, stopping her.
At that moment, he leaned on the sofa with an imposing presence, and he had also placed her wheelchair beside him.
The man’s intimidating gaze fell lightly on Elva. “Elva, I asked you a few questions.”
Elva’s heart suddenly sank, and she had no courage to lift her head and meet the man’s gaze.
“It was… Mr. Winford.”
“First, why did that Mr. Griffin want to please you and give Lia’s spot to you?”
Glenda frowned, not knowing why her grandson suddenly interrupted, but since his question wasn’t out of line, she held back and remained. silent, just looking at Elva.
In theory, this was a very simple question, but Elva just couldn’t answer it, and there was a faint sheen of sweat on her forehead.
“I…”
“Answer.”
The two short words, with a tone neither light nor heavy, seemed to

weigh down on Elva like a heavy mountain.
“L..” Elva’s face turned pale.
Glenda was unclear about the school’s matters, and the servants of Sunset Vista were also unaware. They only vaguely heard Elva say that she had stolen Ophelia’s thunder, which was why she was being targeted by her.
But at that moment, seeing her reaction, who could fail to notice that there was something wrong?
“I knew!” a voice suddenly sounded.
-It was Lily.
Lily was usually quiet and honest, and she was also timid. At that moment, when she spoke up, she attracted the attention of everyone around her, and she immediately became flustered.
Especially Glenda’s gaze made her feel a lot of pressure.
But thinking of how Elva had slandered the lady, she felt extremely angry, yet she mustered up her courage and quickly said-
“I knew that I had been to Ventura University, and I heard the students there say that Elva had always claimed to be the daughter of a reclusive wealthy family, saying that she was Mr. Winford’s girlfriend! They also said that the lady was a mistress, coming from a humble background and shamelessly trying to take her man!”
“Moreover, she often took the bodyguard’s car to school and boasted to others that it was her family’s!”
Hearing this, everyone was shocked.
“What?!”

Elva’s face was pale, and she looked unsteady. She suddenly stood up and said anxiously, “You are talking nonsense! It wasn’t like this-”
“That’s exactly it!” Lily interrupted her loudly. “It’s because you were
spreading rumors outside and slandering the lady that the principal
misunderstood you as Mr. Winford’s woman and took the lady’s spot away from her for you!”
“Not! I didn’t! I, I…”
“The second question,” Winford’s indifferent voice sounded at that moment. “do you know that spot belongs to Lia?”
Elva’s voice trembled: “I…”
“She definitely knew!” Lily replied angrily, “I heard that the lady’s position was selected by the school forum, and she was the first place. Elva, you simply couldn’t compare!”
“You participated in the forum selection, so wouldn’t you know who the first place winner was? Wouldn’t you know that you took the lady’s spot?”
“Even if you didn’t know, you definitely knew that Mr. Winford wast going to attend! Your classmates were saying everywhere that your boyfriend was going to be there, and you were supposed to personally host your boyfriend. If it weren’t you, how could there be these rumors? It shows that you were still doing it on purpose!”
Elva was drenched in cold sweat.
“The third question,” Winford continued, his voice growing cold, wrapped in frost, chilling to the bone, “Why did Lia’s foot get injured?”
Under the man’s gaze, Elva’s legs felt so weak that she could hardly stand.
Lily, who was usually honest, was incredibly clever at that moment.
