Chapter 47: Victor sudden departure

The events that unfolded left me in a state of profound shock and disarray, as they were entirely unforeseen and beyond my wildest expectations.

It became abundantly clear that this was an intricately orchestrated setup—one that not only tarnished my reputation but also shattered the trust Victor had in me.

Yet, what cut me to the core wasn't the damaging rumor that had rapidly spread throughout the school.

It was the agonizing realization that Victor had chosen to place his faith in Helena over me...

As I continued my relentless pursuit of evidence to vindicate myself, I encountered a succession of formidable challenges.

The malfunctioning of all the CCTV cameras in the hotel during that crucial period baffled me...

It appeared as if someone had deliberately tampered with them.

Moreover, the enigmatic bartender who had offered me drinks couldn't be traced, and records revealed no such employee working at the bar.
