Chapter 84: Graduation
Everly wasn’t very sure what exactly Wester did to Jessica.
The other party’s intention to drive them away was so obvious that it wasn’t convenient for her to stay there and be in the way any longer. She quickly slipped away with Old John, taking the soundly sleeping Rebecca with them.
In any case, it definitely wasn’t anything good. Not long after the “Lucky Relief” incident ended, Jessica withdrew from school due to mental health issues and was admitted to a psychiatric hospital.
Although Jessica’s parents were pitiful, Everly felt that she had completely brought it upon herself. Wester’s safety was directly related to the lives of more than two hundred students in the school. In order to get rid of Edward’s harassment, Jessica had defected to Berlin and chose that moment to make a move against Wester. That was practically equivalent to indirectly endangering everyone’s lives—extremely selfish and vicious. The fact that Wester merely drove her insane was already quite merciful.
Of course, it was also possible that he had done it deliberately as revenge, wanting Jessica to stay alive and suffer longer. Either way, his action removed a ticking time bomb from the school, and Everly was quite happy to see it happen.
Another piece of good news was that the mechanical box that had sealed the evil ghost was completely destroyed after the ghost inside was defeated by the power of Paimon. Rebecca no longer had to keep containing such a terrifying weapon.
The “Lucky Relief” incident had caused too great a disturbance. In order to calm the emotions of the teachers, students, and parents, after everything settled down the school authorities partially released the report Wester had written about the incident to a limited audience.
From this, Everly filled in some details that even she had not known.
For example, Wester had somehow obtained Berlin’s autopsy report from ten years ago. The report mentioned that Berlin was a man with a physical defect—he had been born with underdeveloped reproductive organs. This was the root reason Berlin always dressed as a woman: it wasn’t gender identity disorder, but rather an attempt to conceal his physiological defect.
