Chapter 248: Someone Wants This to Happen
That Matthew Alvord... was linked to a political bribery scandal?
The same man who threatened her to leave her contractual husband?
Lariette’s eyes widened and her lips parted, too surprised by the news. The headlines sounded too convincing.
She unconsciously tightened her fingers around the sleek smartphone. An unpleasant, chilling sensation ghosted down her spine.
Seeing the look of surprise on Lariette’s face, Nora exhaled. She said, her voice cautious, "I didn’t mean to be nosy, but... a few were talking about this."
Nora had just returned from her class when she noticed a group of teachers gathered in the pantry. They seemed to be engrossed in talking about an issue.
When Nora went to get herself a cup of coffee, the conversation topic finally became apparent to her. Her colleagues also asked her if she had asked Lariette about the scandal.
After all... wasn’t the man her husband’s father, also her father-in-law?
Lariette shifted her eyes from the phone to Nora, understanding what her colleague was concerned about. A helpless smile was tugged on her lips.
A few teachers concluded the man who came by limousine was Chairman Alvord based on Ruediger’s surname. What they heard from the students who witnessed the commotion further solidified their guess.
"I’ll be fine," Lariette patted Nora’s back, "I think they won’t ask me openly. They haven’t done so after Lawrence reminded them."
