Chapter 22: Prank? Yes!
As soon as Grace had called out for Helena, everyone looked at them and started whispering to each other.
With Grace’s words, they felt for a second that Helena was having an affair with Tristan behind Vernon’s back.
After all, Vernon had ’cheated’ on his wife and that news came out in public on the day of their wedding. Which wife would be able to take it?
Maybe she felt hurt and went to drown her sorrows with another man?
But after listening to Helena’s words and how naturally Vernon acted when he met with Helena and Tristan, it was made clear that there is no such thing as an affair.
Neither between Helena and Tristan nor between Vernon and that alleged pregnant woman.
"Turns out, it was all a prank made by the Second Master Jeffery. I always heard that he was a playful young master but I never thought that his playful ideas could reach to such an extent," Someone whispered in the crowd, looking at the leaving couple.
"Ha ha. What do you know? Second Master Jeffery was known as the master of pranks when he was in the school. When he was in high school, I heard that there wasn’t a single person, who wasn’t a victim of his pranking. Mind you, I said person and not student," the other person replied in a hushed tone as well.
"You mean he pranked on his teachers as well?"
