Chapter 22 - A Doubt of Seleyena
"Thalia?" Seleyena, standing while looking down toward a fleet of cars belonging to one of the renowned families, suddenly heard the name from the woman who—alongside the dean's son—had drugged a girl also named Thalia.
Her suspicion grew stronger as she noticed a sudden movement—a young woman stepped out of the car and slapped the dean's son's girlfriend.
Seleyena narrowed her eyes, studying the girl's exposed skin: the slight cleavage, the neck, the lower lip... and found it—barely visible, but there—dried fluid and hickeys near the neck.
It didn't take her long to realize this was the same girl they had drugged. And judging by her reaction, it seemed they'd succeeded in ruining her life.
'Should I call the local authorities?' Seleyena stood there, arms folded, eyes flicking toward the dean.
The answer was clear—yes.
But the influence the man held... she doubted whether she'd be able to do so.
So she remained there, thinking. Maybe the one who brought the girl was from the Blac Corporation. Maybe someone powerful was backing her.
"Cruxius Blac."
'!?!'
That name alone was enough to make Seleyena's chest tighten.
